Everyone was eager to find out how a person who mysteriously disappeared five years ago had suddenly returned.

For the past five years, the Riddle family and Jared had been claiming that Nicole was away to take care of her health abroad.

    "Ms. Riddle, you're finally back. Do you know how much all of us here have been waiting for you to come back?""Yeah! At first, we thought you and Mr. Johnston had almost died during the accident. We were all very worried about you."Nicole watched as people started to swarm around them, moving closer, pushing overwhelming questions of how Nicole was doing and expressing their concerns."Mr. Riddle Sr. has arrived!" one shouted from the crowd.Everyone in the room instantly fell silent. There were rumors going around claiming that Mr. Riddle Sr. was bedridden and had passed on. The news of Mr. Riddle Sr.'s presence had taken everyone aback. Though no one in the room spoke up, deep down they knew the truth.Everyone watched as Mr. Riddle Sr. slowly approached the doors of the banquet hall.'Didn't the rumors say the old man is preparing for his funeral?

    "Besides, she's a prodigy. I think even after a five-year gap, she would've come back stronger."For Nicole to take on the role as the Chairperson for the Riddle Corporation, there would be more people that are in support of it, due to Nicole's sudden reappearance. Those against it fell silent.The situation was that there were a number of people who were rushing to acquire business deals with Nicole and would want to terminate them if Nicole was not present, but they would reconsider if Nicole came back."Congratulations on being the Chairperson, Ms. Riddle." Whether it was sincere or not, everyone said their congratulations.Nicole's eyes scanned the sea of people as they went by her one by one. She responded to each and every one of them politely, silently identifying them based on the information Jared had provided her with which helped her to deal with the current situation swiftly.'As long as there are no emergencies, the banquet should be a breeze.'"Grandpa is clearly bi

    'If he had died earlier, we would've been able to get some of the inheritance. But now he's given everything to Nicole. If he dies now, we'd really be left with nothing. There's no way Nicole would give even a piece of inheritance to us. But as long as he's alive, we might be able to have some inheritance left.'Dillon and Damien looked at each other tacitly, as if they mentally understood everything, despite not mentioning the situation verbally.The banquet was attended by many influential individuals. The members of the Riddle family were busy accommodating it. On the other hand, Mr. Riddle Sr. was surrounded by his friends. Some were envious he had such a filial granddaughter which made Mr. Riddle Sr. even more proud.The Riddle family put their problems aside and focused on socializing.Jared and Nicole were much more relaxed compared to the others. Only the most important individuals were allowed to get close to them. Due to Jared's dominating presence, not many people dared

    Nicole had no right to ask Jared to be grateful for Lawrence's lifesaving help, but she would never forget it."I understand." Jared held Nicole's hand tight. Feelings were not a bargaining chip for repayment, especially since Nicole did not like Lawrence in that way."Ripple Corporation would have more collaborations with Genesis Group in the future. For either personal or professional gain, I'd have to keep in touch with him," Nicole explained, biting her lower lip while looking at Jared. Nicole wanted to explain this situation clearly, in hopes that Jared would understand.Jared was originally depressed when Lawrence showed up with a bouquet of flowers for Nicole, but now he was relieved. With his eyebrows raised, Jared's eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint. "I'll reluctantly promise to let him go since you care so much about me."Nicole's face had a shade of red and she gave Jared a slightly vexed glance. "Who cares about you? Stop being so presumptuous.""Am I being presum

    Apart from Nicole's brother, her past suitors and Lawrence were all depressed at the scene of Jared and her dancing.After the song ended, cheers and applause erupted in the venue. Spotlights focused on Jared and Nicole. Jared hugged Nicole's waist with a perfect ending pose. Under the spotlight, they were enveloped in a halo of light, making them shine.After finishing their dance, Jared and Nicole stood in position, nodded to the surrounding crowd, and left the dance floor."Nicole, I finally get to see you."Just as they stepped off the dance floor, a crowd surrounded Nicole. Nicole's expression stiffened slightly upon their approach. Besides Preston and Ellar, who she had seen before in the Riddle family manor, Nicole had never seen the others. However, judging by their eager expressions, Nicole could feel they were sincerely happy to see her with no bad intentions. It was just that she did not remember any of them and did not know how to react.Sensing Nicole's uneasiness, Ja

    Everyone had varied expressions, but due to Mr. Riddle Sr.'s presence, they did not dare show their dissatisfaction."It's almost time. You should all head back." Mr. Riddle Sr. made a final call, preparing to dismiss the crowd."Dad, it's getting late. I'll send you back. Your health is more important," Damien said in concern.Mr. Riddle Sr. rolled his eyes disdainfully. "You don't need to worry about me."Damien was taken aback, and his face turned pale. Knowing that Mr. Riddle Sr. was still disappointed over the previous issue of the will, he did not dare say anything else. He lowered his head, admitting defeat."If that's the case, we'll get going first." Dillion submitted to the circumstances, knowing it was useless to talk further."Alright." Mr. Riddle Sr.'s expression relaxed a little after seeing their departure.Dillion and Karen left with Snow and Raine, and they did not forget to glare at Nicole with resentment before leaving.Nicole snorted coldly. She was too lazy

    "I'm fine," Nicole muttered, shaking her head. "I just didn't think there'd be such a big crowd. I've only interacted with some of the collaboration partners. I didn't even have time to greet their plus-ones.""There's no need for that. You'll meet the people you need to meet at the end," Jared answered. It was unnecessary to meet unimportant people."Who knew that I had so many connections in San Joto? But how many of my enemies showed up today?" Nicole slightly narrowed her brows. No one held any hostility toward her today, not any that she could feel.His eyes darkening, Jared said solemnly, "Don't dwell in the past. From now onwards, you're the Chairman of Riddle Corporation. Just do things as you please. There are no permanent friends or enemies."That one enemy who wanted to take Nicole's life was currently not in San Joto. He disappeared from sight after he and Nicole suffered heavy injuries five years ago.As for the case where Nicole got attacked when she came back, Jared

    "I get it. But the outside world is full of danger." Gloria murmured, and her eyes turned red.If it were not for the dangers outside, Nicole would have never left home for five years with no news. They did not even know if she was still alive or not.Gloria's words made the atmosphere grow heavy. Nicole's disappearance was truly a pain in the entire family's heart, causing them an indescribable wound."Aunty, we'll take good care of her this time," Jared claimed, his aura determined. Jared would not allow anyone to harm Nicole anymore."Mom, we'll protect her too." The few brothers had the same conviction.Daniel came home at this moment and heard their declaration. He comforted Gloria. "Take it easy. Let's give the kids a chance. Plus, we can't lock Nicole up in the house."The family loved Nicole. It was only natural to give her space and freedom to grow. If Nicole wanted to stay at home, they would support her decision. If Nicole rather went out into the world, they would nev

    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.

    "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.

    "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.

    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
