"He has already admitted to the crime and has taken the blame." Jared's gaze became murderous. "The person who had hired him sure had everything thought out."It was then that Nicole thought about Everett's nonchalant gaze.She had never paid much attention to Everett as his parents did not seem like they cared much about their son as well."Maybe he's doing it for his family." Nicole scoffed.After all, she had really done a number on Damien, and Chloe was suffering from severe paraplegia.Jared shook his head sternly. "No. Damien being separated from the family and Chloe being paralyzed happened recently. But Everett had already begun targeting you before Chloe was even admitted into the hospital..."A sudden realization then dawned upon Nicole as her pupils contracted. "So, what you're saying is that... he has other motives?""Of course. If that is not the case, why would he immediately want you dead?" he asked.Nicole quickly recalled what Damien had said. "I think Damien w
Everett opened his eyes in exhaustion. In the dark, they were cold and emotionless. "Okay."Dick looked at Everett's eyes from the rear-view mirror, searching for any emotions Everett had for Cam, who was Everett's close friend for 7 years. However, there was nothing in Everett's eyes. The way it looked, he did not miss Cam at all. It was as if the man who had shouldered all the blame for him was nothing but an acquaintance to him.Dick issued a mental sigh at that thought. He initially thought that Everett would still be kind to his friends, even though he was a cold, calculating person. But now, Dick felt like he had never known Everett as a person.Everett rolled the window down, feeling more energetic now. "I didn't expect that Jared would be able to trace me. Interesting."Everett did not feel like he had failed. Instead, he began smirking in intrigue."Jared sure is something," he said.It seemed like he could not hide anymore.Dick said, "Everett, you've been holding back
"I've taken care of the police. I thought I could wash my hands after my friend had taken the blame for me, but I didn't think stop to think that Jared was this brave..."Damien's gaze turned dark. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! He definitely left traces!"Everett felt warm when he saw his father defending him, but he knew that Jared was way more ruthless than he was."My car is a wreck, so how can we find traces? Dad, don't waste your time," he said.He did not want his father to waste his time, but Damien was through the roof when he heard that."Son of a b*tch!" He kicked a trash can to blow some steam off.Everett then picked himself up a little. "Don't worry, dad. I will get the fire crest for you... Since we're openly against each other now, I'm no longer afraid of anyone!"Seeing how persistent his son was in getting the fire crest, Damien was touched to know that his son had taken his words seriously. However, he could not help but sigh when he thought of th
He was facing the window, but his eyes were fixated on his own reflection...His charming face now had a bandage over it, and he looked utterly disheveled."Just wait and see. I will return these wounds to you."'Just you wait, Jared Johnston.'And thus, it was now a battle between Jared, the bold lion, and Everett, the cunning fox.Everything had come to light, and so, Nicole had been living happily for the past few days.She did not have any problems with her schoolwork and would show up to film after classes. The recent scenes Nicole had shot rarely involved Lloyd, and so, she was mainly working with the other actors. All of it ran smoothly and the production pace increased tremendously.It was said that Chloe still refused to back down, and wanted to file a lawsuit against the Holder family's crew. However, with the surveillance footage firmly in their hands, winning was an impossibility for her. Chloe had not been discharged from the hospital yet, but she was already going
Though Stanley did not hit Spencer, he was cheering Samuel on. "Nice! He deserved it!"The dining area was noisy, with Gloria and Daniel being able to hear them before they had even gotten downstairs."What are you talking about? You're all so cheery in the morning." Gloria walked over with a smile.The twins got their act together the instant they saw their mother.Samuel then rolled his eyes at Spencer. "This jerk was saying nasty things in front of Nicole."Gloria's expression changed immediately. "Spencer, how could you do that?"Hearing that, Spencer became dispirited and turned to glare at Samuel. "Snitch."Once Gloria and Daniel had sat down, the three brothers started to behave.Sean and Steve were the last to join them, but they had been working in their study room long before they made their way downstairs. They were very well-dressed too, looking as if they had plans for later."Sean and Steve, why are you dressed in such fancy clothing?""Are you going out?" Samue
Nicole nodded. "Yeah. When I'm not out on missions, I'll be in charge of protecting the system and software. The enemies are all professionals from different countries, so I had to be the best."To her, perfecting everything was nothing but normal.But Spencer and Samuel were even more excited. "Nicole... No wonder you don't even care about Ryder!""You're on the same level as the top professional hackers!"Sean and Steve exchanged looks. 'These fools still don't know that their sister is the greatest hacker in the world.'But Daniel had too many shocking things happen these days, so Sean and Steve decided not to announce this secret.They then talked about serious matters. "But after that, our company's system received a lot of attacks. I think the Howdy Corporation is desperately trying to counterattack."Nicole looked at Sean and responded, "Don't worry. I'll create a firewall after I'm done eating."Whoever wanted to mess with her family had to go through her first!Saen s
But their parents were there, and Nicole did not want to worry them.So, Sean nudged Steve, signaling him to stop asking questions.Steve immediately understood his message and changed the subject. "She's really unlucky, yeah? She shouldn't have joined the production. If she hadn't, she wouldn't end up like this... Being paralyzed can't be treated right?"Gloria sighed. "I'm not close with their family, so it's inappropriate for me to ask them. I heard about it from others and they said she can't be treated locally. Your uncle is now trying to contact specialists from other countries, and I think a doctor called James Dade might be able to treat her."Nicole's hands froze when she heard his name.Sean saw her reaction, but Nicole returned to normal the very next second and continued eating.Sean could not help but squint his eyes in suspicion...'Nicole reacted to his name. Does she know him?'"James Dade... I heard that it's really hard to get in touch with this doctor. He has
Sean noticed Nicole's silence.Gloria and Daniel went upstairs after breakfast, planning to call Damien.Samuel and Spencer went for their extra-curricular classes, and Stanley and Steve went upstairs as they wanted to take some rest over the weekend.Sean was the only one who stayed back and looked at Nicole. "Nicole, did Chloe do something to you?"Nicole could only look back at him.The smartest person in their family was probably Sean. He had always been sharp and would always catch Nicole's subtle reactions.So, Nicole admitted and said, "Yeah, she did something to my stunt cable. But I knew it would happen, so I switched our cables."She talked about it briefly as she did not want Sean to worry too much.But how could he not be worried?Though he guessed that Chloe had done something to Nicole, he did not expect her to do such a horrible thing!If Nicole had not known about it and acted upon it, the paralyzed person in the hospital would be Nicole!After all these year
