But all of these things were too sudden for her."I understand. Mom, please give me a month's time. At least allow me and my kid to adjust to life here. And if I decide to settle down here, I'll have to bring Lana over as well."Gloria nodded. "That's right, I've only seen my grandson, not my granddaughter yet. So, when are you going to bring her over?"Nicole noticed how excited Gloria was. Although their misunderstanding had been resolved, and that the demon in the form of Jared would not restrict her movements anymore, Nicole had not decided whether to migrate here in such a hurry or notAfter all, Leo had once mentioned that he had rivals in this country. As such, she could not but wonder if that would invite trouble to the family.Noticing that Nicole was silent, Jared butted in and said, "Mom, leave this to me. Within three days, Nicole and I will bring her back.""Alright, we'll help the both of you by taking care of Nolan," Gloria immediately agreed.Nicole could not hel
Though Jared had noted Nicole's expression, he remained steadfast and resolute nonetheless. "If you can't regain your memory, I'll make you fall in love with me once more."Jared's cocky words made Nicole's heart skip a beat, though she proceeded to roll her eyes at him at the very next second anyway. "What a narcissist."Hearing that, Jared played along. "You can give it a try."Nicole looked at him awkwardly, for she was itching to ask, 'What if I don't fall in love with you?'Yet, those words remained unspoken in the end. Instead, she took a deep breath and made a decision."Alright, let's make a deal. In two months, if I can't regain my memory or fall in love with you, you can't interfere with my life anymore. Would you agree to it?" she asked.Nicole was not the kind of person to flirt with others. She was also not the type to get married without a relationship built on a solid foundation. Therefore, she wanted to make things clear.At that moment, Jared remained silent. Th
Looking at Nicole's reaction, Jared wanted to tease her even more. "Why are you so afraid of me getting this close to you? Is your heart... beating wildly?"Jared stared at Nicole in the mirror and his eyes were seductive.Nicole shivered under Jared's stare. She could not take it anymore, so she quickly turned to the side and took a sip of water. She dared not turn back to Jared's side. "I think it's almost time. Let's go."Jared smiled, and did not continue disturbing her. "Yeah, let's go."Nicole nodded and her gaze shifted to the kid's room. "What about Nolan? Should we bring him along?"Jared shook his head. "I don't think we should. You'll need some getting used to the place. There's no need to bring the kids along to experience an unfamiliar place yet. We'll bring him next time."Nicole knew that what Jared said made sense. Afterall, Nolan had been playing with Tia the whole day and they seemed to get along well. There was nothing for Nicole to be worried about. So, she go
Nicole glanced at the both of them. Although she could not remember them, they should be the two female cousins which Jared had mentioned just now.Nicole did not give way. "This is my family too. I'm back for the allocation of family shares, so are the both of you back for that too?"Once those words came out of her mouth, Raine who was shocked almost choked. "Quit talking nonsense! The shares you had previously were given by Grandpa. They were already returned to him during the past five years when you went missing. Don't you dare think about getting them back!"Nicole could not help but raise her eyes and look at Jared. 'So, there was such a thing. No wonder this family feels threatened by me.'She did not bother to explain whether she had lost her memory or not. Instead, she teased them. "So, there was such an incident. No wonder you're so worked up right now. But don't you know a thing about the law? What was mine will be returned back to me once I return. You want a share of
Mr. Riddle Sr. had been sick for two to three years now and it had been getting worse recently. It seemed like he would not be able to withstand it any longer.Nicole knew that she had some medical skills, but she did not expect herself to be this good at it. 'So, I used to take care of Grandpa?'At that thought, Nicole slowly said, "Grandpa, don't think too much. Your body seems strange. I'll bring someone to do a body check on you tomorrow and we'll see from there."As Nicole said that, Mr. Riddle Sr. was stunned. "Are you saying that I still have some hope to live?"Nicole glanced at everyone around her and remained silent.Mr. Riddle Sr. immediately understood and sighed loudly on purpose. "We'll leave it to fate to decide. You shouldn't worry too much either.""Alright." Nicole seemed to be calm as she nodded.The rest did not notice it, but Jared could tell from Nicole's interaction with her grandpa that something was off.After they had finished talking about Mr. Riddle
When he realized that his family was hoping for his death, the shame made Mr. Riddle Sr. angry."I won't believe any of you, excluding Nicole. Nicole, tell me honestly, how much longer do I have?" Mr. Riddle Sr. had already come to terms with the idea of death due to his old age. However, he never once thought these ungrateful bastards were praying for his death. Instantly, anger surged within him, and he was determined to stay alive to spite them all.The indignant expression on Mr. Riddle Sr.'s face made Nicole smile. "Grandpa, you'll be fine. I'll cure you, so you'll live as long as you want."Upon Nicole's promise, Mr. Riddle Sr. regained his confidence and chuckled. "Alright, I believe in you! I'll get better and live my life!"Karen and the others turned green in envy as Nicole brought encouragement to Mr. Riddle Sr. He even seemed to have a better complexion after hearing Nicole's supportive words. It had been five years since Mr. Riddle Sr. took back the shares he had given
"Emm... Your symptoms are rather weird, to be honest. Grandpa, have you been taking any medications regularly before you got sick?" Nicole asked.Mr. Riddle Sr. set his gaze on his butler after Nicole's reminder. His butler thought for a moment before taking out a bottle of medication from the table's drawer. "Mr. Riddle Sr. has been taking medications for his cerebrovascular condition for the past two years. Even after falling ill, the doctor continued the prescription."Nicole frowned and took the bottle of medication. She poured out a pill and crushed it. When she sniffed it, she sensed something amiss. "I'll take this away. I believe a lab test will reveal something."The butler and Mr. Riddle Sr. were slightly taken aback. "There's something wrong with this medication?"Nicole nodded. "I'm sure of it, though I can't tell the exact composition. After identifying the composition, I'm confident I can cure Grandpa."The family members found solace in Nicole's words. Nicole was th
"But, Grandpa, I don't know anything about business management," Nicole voiced her insecurities.Sean and Steve looked at her. Steve said, "Nicole, where did your confidence go? You used to be decisive and capable during your high school days. Despite your lack of business management expertise, every choice you made prevented crises for the company. Now that you're back, it's time to take over. Sean and I can teach you if you need help.""That's right. Everyone has been hoping for your return," Stanley added with a smile. After all, when it came to dealing with their uncles, neither of them possessed Nicole's decisiveness. They had been stifled by restriction all these years.Nicole felt overwhelmed by everything that had happened these few days. It felt like a dream. 'I just met this family, and now they want me to inherit a company? I hadn't given my true identity a thought in the past five years of wandering the streets. I had no idea I was a multimillionaire heiress with an inhe
