Harvey noticed that Nicole had no intention of waiting for him, and so, he rushed toward the security checkpoint, trying to catch up to her, but was stopped."Excuse me sir, but you can't venture past this point without a ticket," the terminal guard said."My friend is over there. I just want to talk to her for a minute," Harvey anxiously explained as he glanced over at the direction that Nicole was at."I'm sorry, but you can't enter."Seeing that the security personnel refused would never let him pass, he was left with no choice but to make a run for the counter and purchase a ticket. Unfortunately, he was told that the ticket sales had stopped.Harvey clenched his fists angrily, wishing to argue with the agent, but he knew that they were just doing their jobs and following the policies laid out by the company.Harvey then suppressed his anger and asked, "In that case, could you help me find out where that plane is going?""Okay, just a moment sir," the agent said, before retu
[Don't worry. I'll come and get you. I still need to hand you the Reby Family Crest.][The Reby Family Crest? You've acquired it?]Zeke was over the moon as soon as he heard the news. 'This is the best news I've heard in days!'[Yes. You've got to hang in there. The badge is very cool.][Can you send me a photo of it?] Zeke asked.[Okay, I'll send you a picture after I've settled down.][Alright then. I think it's time for us to go offline now. We can't linger any longer, or the risk of us being caught increases.][Ok.]One after another, the two of them went offline.Nicole placed her hat on her face, after which she closed her eyes and fell asleep. 'There's no danger on the plane.'Hours passed, and upon feeling a shake, Nicole was jolted awake.Then, she looked out of the window to notice that the plane had landed. She took her backpack, got off the plane and left the airport.Nicole was aware that Carl was in this country as well, but her first priority was to hide and
"Miss Fisher, there's something you may not know, so I have called you to tell you about it. It is something that you should know."Fiorella was left confused after hearing what Martin had just said, 'What is it that I should know, and what is it that I shouldn't? What is he talking about?'"Listen, Mr. Wyance. I don't know what you've been reading as of recent, but I would appreciate if you don't speak in riddles. Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me directly if you have anything to say," Fiorella calmly said."Well, as you're no stranger to us, I'll just tell you about it right away.""Ok?""Mr. Johnston has been hospitalized after suffering some critical injuries," Martin explained, after which he paused, intent on hearing what Fiorella had to say."Critical injuries?!' Fiorella leaped up from her chair the instant she heard that Jared had been hospitalized."What happened?! Which hospital is Jared in now?! Tell me. I'll head there right away." Fiorella anxiously queried.
Martin saw how Fiorella behaved around Jared and said carefully, "Ms. Fisher, I have been taking care of Mr. Johnston recently, but now my factory needs me to deal with some things. Could you..."Fiorella could guess what Martin was trying to say, so she interrupted, "I understand. I'll stay here and take care of him while you settle whatever you need to deal with.""For the time being, we can't let the public know about Mr. Johnston's injury. I hope Ms. Fisher can help keep this a secret.""Understood.""Thank you.""By the way, where's Nicole? Jared had such a huge accident. Where did she go?" Fiorella did not see Nicole since she came in, and she did not see her after chatting with Martin.Martin hesitated for a moment before replying, "Nicole has a very important matter to attend to, so she left.""Important matter?" Fiorella mimicked mockingly."What could be as important as Jared's injury? I bet she saw Jared's condition and thought he wouldn't wake up, so she just left."
"Yes." The nurse shot a confused glance at Nicole's sick bed and then walked over to change the medication for Jared."How should we address you?" The nurse asked, looking at Fiorella as she changed the medication."I'm Fiorella Fisher," Fiorella answered."Hello there, Ms. Fisher," the nurse then greeted."Nurse, regarding Mr. Johnston's condition, what can I do to help speed up his recovery?" Fiorella looked at the nurse while humbly consulting her.The nurse saw Fiorella's concern for Jared and told her, "You can speak more with Mr. Johnston. Talking about the past with him might be of some help.""Alright," Fiorella replied.After the nurse left, Fiorella, sure enough, followed what the nurse suggested and kept talking to Jared about stories from the past. Meanwhile, on the international side, Nicole had already obtained the Reby Family Crest. She stared at the family crest on the computer. On top of it was a piece of virtual identification information. Whoever fills up thei
"Is it convenient to talk to you?" Nicole asked."I'm free," Zeke replied."When doing the mission, were you using a computer?" Nicole started to question him."Of course. Otherwise, how would I have decoded it?" Zeke asked."Then I know why you could never ditch the people tracking you.""Why?" Zeke also felt that it was odd. Every time he arrived in a new city, people were always pursuing him. This caused him to change his location non-stop. He was exhausted every day."The people pursuing you are tracking you through the chip in your laptop. So you need to dump the chip. This way, you can hide from the people chasing after you," Nicole explained to Zeke."So that's how it is. Since you knew about this, why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you know what I've been going through these days?" Zeke complained to Nicole."If you have the time to complain, why don't you quickly dispose of the chip?" Nicole snapped back at Zeke."Thanks, we'll be in contact after I get rid of the peo
"Oh." Not hearing any news about Jared waking up, Nicole was slightly disappointed. But it was within expectation."Martin, if you are free, could you send me a video of Jared daily?" Nicole asked."Sure," it seems that he has another mission now."Thank you for your work. It's late. You should rest early. I won't be bothering you anymore," Nicole said, wanting to hang up the call."Wait a minute, Nicole," Martin quickly said."Is there something else?" Nicole questioned."Are you at Lanningbourg now?" Martine wanted to confirm Nicole's current location."Harvey must've told you," Nicole was almost caught by Harvey when she passed the security check. He must have told Martin about this incident when she got back."Yes," Martin gave a single-word answer."I am at Lanningbourg. All of you can rest easy. Tell Harvey, don't come to Lanningbourg to look for me. I do not want to see him." Countless dangers were currently surrounding Nicole. She didn't want him to walk into this ring
"That's good. I came here in a rush yesterday. I need more time to handle matters at the company. So I'll just go back to deal with them. I'll come back later," Fiorella told Martin as she had just finished eating."There is no need to rush. You should rest well when you go back," Martin said while acting as if it were for her sake."Mhm," Fiorella got up and went to Jared to look at him."Mr. Johnston, I'll be going back first to handle some matters. I'll come back soon to keep you company," she said. Although she knew Jared was still unconscious, she still spoke as if she was speaking to a person capable of communicating."Then, I will be leaving first. See you around," Fiorella said."Very well, let me walk you out," Martin offered."No need. You should stay here and take care of Mr. Johnston. We cannot leave him unattended," she said. Fiorella was obviously more concerned for Jared."Alright. Then, take it slow," Martin watched Fiorella as she walked out the ward's doors.A
"Let's go, it's time to head down. The ceremony will start soon."The group laughed and talked as they left the bridal suite. Jared and his friends, Spencer and Preston, were also guided out by everyone.Now, only the family of four remained in the bridal suite, getting ready for their big entrance."Mommy, it's almost time. Let's get ready," Nolan said, pulling on Nicole's hand.Nicole gently patted Nolan and Lana's cheeks, whispering, "Okay."As she made to stand, Jared extended his hand toward her. Lifting her gaze, she caught Jared in a moment of elegance, his charm unmistakable. A smile bloomed on her face as she placed her hand in his.With a gentle tug, Jared drew her up, his touch tender against her palm.In a swift move, he pulled Nicole into his arms, his other hand circling her waist to pull her close.As Jared looked at Nicole, admiration shimmered in his eyes. "You look truly beautiful today," he remarked."Daddy, Mommy is beautiful every day," Lana chimed in, til
Nicole laughed off the debate between Lulu and June, saying, "Both are lovely. I'm happy with either."Both sets of jewelry were beautiful, and she felt that either would do."Exactly. Nicole will shine in anything," Cindy said, picking a set. "Let's go with this one."Lulu gave June a victorious look. "Told you this was the one."Cindy then suggested, "Why not wear this for the ceremony and switch for the reception? That way, we use both.""Great idea," June agreed, smiling at Cindy's suggestion.Nicole smiled. "Sounds perfect."With everyone agreeing, the stylist went ahead with preparing Nicole.Lulu watched Nicole, amazed by how calm she seemed. "Aren't you a bit nervous?" she asked. Lulu remembered her own wedding jitters.Nicole bit her lip, a hint of nerves showing. "I'm more excited than anything," she admitted.She had been looking forward to this day, ready to face the future with Jared with hope and joy."Just finished," the stylist announced, stepping back to adm
"Do you think I don't want to meet someone? I just haven't found the right person," Gary said somewhat resignedly. He had long regarded Nicole as just a friend."Why don't we just try the dates our families set up?" Ryder suggested, calm and collected. He figured since finding someone on his own wasn't working, maybe arranged dates could help. In their circles, it seemed like good matches were meant to be."Arranged dates don't sound great. You hardly know the person. Are we really okay with deciding to spend our lives together like that?" Preston wasn't too keen on the idea."Emery's doing pretty well with it, you know," Ryder said confidently. "I trust our families. They wouldn't set us up with someone terrible. They've probably made sure we'd be a good match."Gary thought it over. "You might be right. Our families aren't just trying to make deals; they want us to be happy."As Gary and Ryder seemed more into the idea, Preston was still unsure. "You guys are serious?""Why not
Jared held Nicole close and looked at her. "After we get married, we'll move to the estate," he said.Their future home would be just theirs.He thought it was good for Nicole to spend more time with her family since she hadn't been with them for five years. But they knew they would move to the estate later."Okay," Nicole said, nodding. She was happy Jared made the estate close to her family, so she was okay with moving.Jared gently touched her hair and kissed her...****Time flew, and soon it was Nicole and Jared's wedding day.From the morning, San Joto was alive with excitement. Everyone was talking about Jared and Nicole's wedding.Politicians, business leaders, close friends, and business partners all came to wish the couple well.The Riddles were busy welcoming the guests, making everything look amazing."Patricia, hurry up, Charlie's here," Ellar called out as he spotted Charlie. He quickly got Patricia to come and greet him. Max, hearing the fuss, came over too.C
"You really need to rest. You shouldn't work for the next few days. Stay home and rest. A bride has to look her best," Gloria said, looking at Nicole and making the decision for her."Bride!" Nicole was surprised because she hadn't talked about any wedding yet."Yes, now that everything is settled, it's time for your wedding with Jared," Gloria said, deciding firmly. She used to think it was best for the kids to decide for themselves, but after several delays, she felt waiting longer made no sense. The wedding should happen soon."I was thinking that too," Jared said. They had planned the wedding after solving the Everett problem, but then they found out Lawrence had hurt Nicole in the past, causing more delays. Now, with everything sorted out, they saw no reason to wait. The wedding was the next big step.Nicole looked at Jared and, with a smile, agreed, "Okay." Their wedding had been waiting for five years; it was time, with no need to wait any longer."That's so cool, I'm the f
Patricia felt a mix of reluctance and happiness as she prepared to part ways with Charlie.Jared glanced at Charlie and said, "It's about time for us to board." He tenderly held Nicole's hand and led her toward the boarding gate."I need to go through the boarding procedures too," Patricia said, biting her lip. "You must find happiness as well.""I will," Charlie assured her with a gentle smile, giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "You've grown up, too. You don't need to cling to me anymore. I believe Ellar will take great care of you."Patricia nodded, then, leaning closer to Charlie, she whispered, 'When Mr. Johnston and Ms. Riddle get married, make sure you bring my future sister-in-law back with you.' Caught off guard, Charlie playfully scolded her, "You little rascal."Doretta, standing not too far away, overheard Patricia's whispered words. Her cheeks turned even redder."Let's go," Patricia announced, then turned to Doretta, adding, "We'll meet again.""Goodbye,
Lying in bed with Nicole cradled in his arms, Jared whispered gently, "Sleep for a bit.""Mhm." Finally feeling at peace, Nicole smiled slightly, and she quickly fell asleep.As Jared listened to her soft breathing, his eyes softened with affection, and he too closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.The next morning, as the group got ready to head back to San Joto, Zane and Doretta came to say goodbye."I still have things to finish here, but I promise to be at your wedding," Zane said with a big smile."And I'll be there to wish you well, Nicole," Doretta added.Saying goodbye is always hard, but everyone knew they had their own journeys to continue."Great, we'll see you in San Joto," Nicole said with a bright smile."It's time to go," Zane said, knowing they couldn't wait any longer without risking missing their plane."I've got the paperwork," Patricia said, ready to help with the travel documents for Jared and Nicole. Then, looking at Charlie, she asked, "Need help with
Nicole was quiet, thinking about everything. 'If I hadn't remembered everything, maybe Lawrence and I could have stayed friends. But after finding out about the airport, it's impossible...'Not only had she regained her memory, but she had also learned about the airport incident. Lawrence had gone to great lengths to prevent her from returning to San Joto."Thanks for saving me before, but you also hurt me. We're even now," Nicole said calmly, looking at Lawrence like he was someone she didn't know anymore.Jared squeezed Nicole's hand gently. "Let's go."They decided to leave the rest to Zane and head back."Wait." Lawrence's voice stopped Nicole. He sounded almost like he was begging. "Please, don't tell Nolan about this."Nicole paused, then said, "I won't tell him. Not for you, but because I don't want Nolan to see how bad people can be."With that, Nicole walked away with Jared.Lawrence sat down, watching her leave, with mixed feelings."Let's go too," Patricia said to C
"Your robots don't work anymore," a voice said, sounding very pleased. Then, a person came out from behind the crowd, looking pretty proud of himself."Carl!" Nicole was shocked to see him. 'It's Carl!'"It's been a while." Carl smiled and waved at Nicole.Carl had come as soon as Zane told him about the problem. He couldn't just do nothing when Nicole needed help.He didn't expect them to act so soon, which is why he was a little late. But he was still in time to help. Carl was surprised by Lawrence's robots at first, but luckily, the weapons he brought, which he had been working on for years, stopped the robots. This was a big help to everyone."We really need to thank Carl; we would have been in big trouble without him," Zane said, feeling relieved.Zane had asked Carl for help, hoping it would make them more likely to win, but Carl ended up being very important."Thank you," Nicole said with a warm smile. It was nice to see an old friend again."No need to thank me. I'm jus
