"Run along then. I'll pick you up after work." Jared smiled, as he knew that Nicole already had a plan in mind.Even though she had lost her memories, she still had some aces up her sleeves. It was safe to say that anyone foolish enough to mess with her would not live a good life.Nicole's cheeks flushed as she got down from the car.She only turned around to enter the office building after Jared had driven away."Hey, Sean." Nicole greeted Sean right after she had gotten out of the elevator."I was just looking for you. Come to my office with me," Sean said as he made a beeline for his office.Nicole could tell that Sean was serious, so she followed him.Steve entered Sean's office a few minutes later and joined them after they had gotten in."What happened? Why do you want me to cancel the project?" Steve asked, clearly upset.'This is money! It's our loss if we don't go through with it.'"Take a look at this." Sean threw a file on the table.Steve flipped it open as Nicol
"Mr. Johnston's investigating him|? Did something happen?" Sean's eyes widened.In an instant, he had figured that things were not as simple as Nicole had described."Can you not be so astute?" Nicole flashed him a helpless smile.All she had given him was a vague reminder, and yet, he had managed to intuit the complexity of this case. However, she really did not want to burden her brother by getting him tangled in her own issues. Jared being on the case was good enough."I'm right, then. But since you don't want to talk about it, I'm going to stop asking. Still, I must ask that you do not hide it from us if you ever find yourself in danger," Sean offered, understanding Nicole's intentions."Sure." Nicole replied as she felt the warmth in her heart."Well then, let's start according to the plan," Sean said affirmatively.Having reached an agreement, Nicole and Steve left Sean's office.Once they were outside, Steve gave Nicole a reassuring look and stated, "Don't worry. Things
"It's okay. Nolan can hang out with his godfather if he wants. But he has to come home after visiting him." Jared smiled.'This girl looks innocent and cute on the outside, but she's actually really clever. Looks like she won't be easily fooled by nasty boys when she grows up,' he thought."Nolan misses godfather very much nowadays." Lana shrugged with a disdainful look on her face.'I mean, is there anyone who couldn't tell what Nolan is thinking? It's painfully obvious. Nolan is a smart boy. He could even do what Mommy does as a hacker. I just don't get why he can't understand this.''If Mommy and Godpa were meant to be, they would have been together a long time ago. Why would they wait until now? Why can't he just try to get Daddy and Mommy back together instead? Daddy is handsome and rich! Most importantly, he is very loyal to Mommy. How nice!' Lana wondered.Lana issued a sigh as she dwelled in her thoughts. 'Did Nolan put all his intelligence into hacking? Is that why he doe
"Yeah, take them outside. It's the weekend after all," Gloria chimed in.Nicole gave in when she saw Stanley and Spencer looking at her. "Okay. I'll take the two of you out to play."As expected, Lana was satisfied.She then looked at Jared and said, "You have to start preparing, Daddy!"Jared arched his brow when he heard Lana's remark. Then, he turned to Nicole, who rolled her eyes at him in response.After dinner, everyone chatted away in the living room for a while before they retired to their rooms.Nicole and Jared left the kids' room after the twins had fallen asleep.Taken aback, they simultaneously uttered, "He's asleep.""She's asleep.""Yeah, Lana fell asleep pretty quickly," Jared responded.Nicole looked at Nolan's room and lamented, "Nolan seems to have something on his mind, but he has fallen asleep too.""It probably has something to do with Lawrence." Jared's gaze darkened.He knew what Nolan was thinking, but he could not understand why Nolan was so persis
Nicole smiled and agreed. "You're right.""Okay, I'm just here to bring you this piece of good news. I'm leaving now." Steve waved and left.Nicole was in a good mood as the plan was going smoothly. She felt a lot more relaxed when she looked at the documents too.On the other hand, the air in Damien's office was extremely oppressive."What happened?! Somebody tell me what happened!" Damien roared as black thoughts raced through his mind. 'How did they f*ck this up?!'"Uh…" Someone stuttered.It was too late for them to say anything at this point."You can all leave now," Everett told them in a cold voice.They then glanced at Damien, waiting for his permission."Piss off." Damien waved his hand in annoyance.They immediately scrambled out of the place as if their lives had just been spared.After everyone had left, Damien's voice deepened, and he asked Everett, "What do you want to say?"He knew that Everett would not get them to leave without a good reason, so he probably
"Forget it, then. She has already made a move against us, so we can't just sit back and do nothing. From now on, let's just focus on managing the company," Damien said.Damien believed that if there was no evidence, it meant that there was nothing wrong. In the end of the day, the conclusion was still the same – they could not allow Nicole and her family to be the ones with the upper hand. All of them had the right to inherit the Riddle family's wealth and power.Damien squinted as he thought about the inheritance, revealing a sinister glint in his eyes. They were so close to succeeding when Mr. Riddle Sr. was at his limits, but Nicole just had to return and treat him.'How infuriating!'"Got it," Everett responded.However, he did not wish to give up. He had a feeling that Nicole was shrouded in a veil of mystery, and whatever it was that lied behind that veil was crucial for them and their success.Leaving the office, Everett ordered his assistant, "Continue the investigation.
In a helpless tone, Lawrence said, "Interstellar is an international company, and its main market isn't here. Besides, I'm new here, so they want a strong local company from the capital to be involved. It's something like a guarantee."Nicole nodded upon hearing this. "They have a point."She bit her lip and pondered for a moment. "Ask Ian to send me the details. I'll talk with my brothers and give you an answer after we review it.""Okay." Lawrence smiled and continued, "I thought you would agree right away."After all, Interstellar International was really good. Besides, Lawrence found that it really suited the development of the Riddle Company."I really don't know much about business, so I'm actually relying on my instincts for everything. That's why I still prefer to discuss things with my brothers when it comes to important decisions." Nicole did not hide anything from Lawrence.Lawrence shook his head and sighed. "Nicole, even though you haven't been back for long, you've
"It's a deal." Lawrence then said with a bright smile, "I'll be looking forward to that feast.""Sure. You can choose the time and place," Nicole happily agreed.Lawrence had helped her, and it was right for her to thank him with a meal."Okay then, I won't disturb your work any longer." Lawrence said his goodbye as he stood up.Nicole stood up too. She watched Lawrence leave before returning to her desk and sitting down.Sometime later, Nicole received an email from Ian. She opened it and read it, nodding approvingly. "It's a very good project, indeed."After reading it, Nicole forwarded the email to Sean and asked him to consider the collaboration project.After Sean told her that he had received it, Nicole then closed the document and attended to other tasks.With this project from Interstellar International, the Riddle Corporation could finally make a breakthrough after getting stuck in expanding the business.During the five years Nicole was away, Stanley and Sean did a p
