"Yes," Nicole confirmed and took out a silver needle. "First, I'll acupuncture you to detoxify your body. I'll have the prepared medicine sent over. You just need to take it on time.""How long would it take to recover?" Mr. Riddle Sr. was confident in Nicole, so he asked directly.Nicole replied with confidence, "One week is sufficient."After a moment of silence, Mr. Riddle Sr.'s eyes filled with determination. "Alright, one week would do. We'll host your welcoming banquet one week later. I'll show up and announce that you're taking over as the chairman of Riddle Corporation."Nicole's hand paused for a moment while holding the needle. But she quickly regained her composure and nodded. "Alright."She understood Mr. Riddle Sr.'s eagerness. It was hard for her to take over the company now, but settling everything as soon as possible might be the best solution. That way, people would stop targeting Mr. Riddle Sr., since everything would be in her hands.Nicole finished the acupunc
"Don't worry, Dad," Nicole reassured Daniel, knowing he was concerned about her."Come on. I'll take you to your office," Sean said while guiding Nicole to her office. "We kept this place for you ever since the setup."They never expected this room to be retained for five years as they did not even know if Nicole would ever return.Nicole felt a lump rise in her throat, understanding Sean's meaning. This place was empty for five years, yet immaculate in appearance. There was probably someone who cleaned it every day."Sean, I-I..." Nicole was at a loss for words, feeling sorrowful. If she had known the whole situation, she would have come back earlier, not letting her family suffer five years of torment.Sean smiled gently. "You're back, and that's all that matters."Three knocks sounded on the door.The secretary's voice came through. "Mr. Riddle, the documents are here.""Bring them in," Sean ordered.The secretary came in, put the documents on the table, and left.Sean bri
Nicole and Leo soon arrived at a Western restaurant. Leo chose an inconspicuous but well-positioned table according to Nicole's preferences, and sat down with her.Nicole was not surprised that Leo knew what she preferred. She sat down and ordered their meal. While waiting for their meal, Nicole asked again, "So, what is it?""If I said I'm here to seek a collaboration with Riddle Corporation's chairman, would you be interested?" Leo said with a hint of a smile."Collaboration?!" Nicole was stunned. She never expected Leo to find her for this matter. Although she had not officially taken over the company, she knew the chairman Leo meant was her. Leo was hoping to collaborate with Riddle Corporation.Seeing that Nicole was too stunned to speak, Leo smirked. He handed her a document, saying, "This is the letter of intent of collaboration. Take it back and have a look. I'll wait for your reply.""Alright." Nicole took the document. When it came to business, she knew Riddle Corporatio
Looking at Jared's resentful expression, Nicole felt as though she had truly done something to wrong him. She wanted to explain things clearly and hoped he would not be angry about this misunderstanding.However, Lawrence said indifferently, "Mr. Johnston, even though she's your wife, she should have the freedom to make friends. Besides that, she doesn't even remember you."This was a reminder to Jared not to unilaterally call Nicole his wife. Nobody knew how things would turn out as Nicole had not acknowledged their relationship.It was a blatant provocation. A darkness flashed in Jared's eyes as he coldly replied, "But she's Nicole."Jared did not mind that Nicole had no memories of their relationship because he would make her remember. Even if she failed to regain her memories, he believed they were fated to be together. He would pursue her again and make her fall in love with him.Lawrence's pupils were pitch black. He could tell Jared was staking his claim on Nicole. However,
"Some external development information about Riddle Corporation's headquarters." Jared knew she went to the office and probably learned about the company's situation. Since he promised to help her, it was only natural for him to consider everything for her.The Riddle Corporation had not been doing well while she was gone. Jared had given a lot of support to Riddle Corporation, which was why he had some understanding of their situation. He believed Sean would provide him with internal information, so he gathered and recorded a compilation of information that was beneficial for the future development of the Riddle Corporation in a file.Nicole knew what the file was, and she fell into a daze as she stared at it. She had already seen some information about Riddle Corporation today, and while she was about to find further information, Jared had already provided her with that. This shocked her, but it also warmed her heart."Mommy!" a voice rang out, and two small figures excitedly rush
Nicole figured that Gloria asked that because she knew that Jared had not eaten his dinner. And they went home after Jared went to see her, so he obviously had not eaten anything.Gloria realized that Jared had not eaten dinner as well, so she reminded her daughter, "Nicole, we've all had dinner already. You should have dinner with Jared.""But I've had dinner too." Nicole hesitated, but she did not stand her ground.Though she did not intend to do it, the reason Jared had not eaten anything for dinner was because of her."Hurry up, then. It's Nolan and Lana's bedtime too. Just leave them to me." Gloria arched her eyebrows at Nicole. It was obvious. She was creating some alone time for Jared and Nicole.After being separated for five years, they were reunited but with different identities. Gloria was really worried about them and hoped that they could make up with each other as soon as possible, so they could finally live happily ever after."I'm not tired. I want to stay with Mo
Nicole's expression appeared to be a little uneasy as she looked at Jared's teasing gaze. Although he managed to guess her thoughts, she understood the hidden meaning behind his words too, implying that she could miss him.Her heart beat faster, and she subconsciously looked away, avoiding direct eye contact with Jared. 'It could get really difficult to deal with this guy sometimes,' she thought to herself.Seeing how nervous Nicole got, Jared subtly curved his lips. Although he was eating dinner alone, the food tasted unusually good.After finishing his meal, Jared followed Nicole back to the room.Nicole frowned with resentment. "Actually, you don't have to stay here with me."The estate was so near and so much bigger, yet Jared would still cramp into a room with her. Nicole just did not feel comfortable with it.However, Jared did not want to let any opportunity to be alone with her slip away. So he said confidently, "It's livelier here."Of course, Jared would be wherever Ni
Nicole was on the verge of losing herself in the face of Jared's captivating smile. Her final sliver of sanity was reminding her that she should be reacting with anger, but when she looked at Jared, she just could not shake the idea of letting her guard down.Feeling shameful and frustrated within, she gritted her teeth and yelled, "You're moving back to the estate from today onwards!"She could not allow him to linger here anymore because he was simply too dangerous for her. Before she could regain her memories, she had to keep a distance from him."Freshen up." Jared dragged her to the bathroom, having changed the subject smoothly.This left Nicole confused. 'What does this mean? Did he agree to it or not?'She got freshened up and changed her clothes in a daze before leaving the room with Jared."Daddy." Lana's adorable voice echoed across the hallway as her tiny legs carried on a sprint toward Jared."Hey, Lana." Jared held Lana up with a doting look on his face, loving this
