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
"He's going to visit Grandpa," Gloria said.Nicole frowned. "Is Grandpa not feeling well again?"'Grandpa should be fine now that he's taking the right medications and receiving needle technique treatment.'With a smile, Gloria replied, "Don't worry. Grandpa's fine. Your dad is simply going to see him.""Oh." Nicole felt relieved after hearing that and suggested, "I've been so busy since coming back, so I didn't really get a chance to talk to Grandma. Mom, would you like to see her with me?""Sure. She's been asking about you lately," Gloria said as she went to Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s room with Nicole."Eh? Why is no one here?" Nicole was a little surprised. 'Where is she?'Gloria looked at the time and made a guess. "She's probably on the balcony, getting some sun."So, Nicole and Gloria went to the balcony and saw Mrs. Wallace Sr. there with Tia."Grandma." Nicole walked over and saw the radiant look on Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s face. Then, she smiled in relief.Although Nicole had no
Nicole could tell that Tia was trying to endure the pain while walking. She frowned a little. But before Nicole could make a move, someone was one step ahead of her.That person approached Tia, took hold of the wheelchair, and said, "Let me do it.""Master Stanley..." Tia wanted to reject him, but Stanley had already pushed Mrs. Wallace Sr. away.Tia slightly bit her lip and followed after them.Staring at the backs of those two, Nicole's eyes narrowed. A strange feeling crossed her heart."Let's head down first. You need to pick Nolan and Lana up later," Gloria reminded Nicole.Looking at how casually Gloria acted toward the situation, Nicole felt a lot more at peace. Then, she headed downstairs with her mother."Mummy!"Unexpectedly, just as she reached downstairs, Nolan and Lana ran toward her."Why are you guys back so early?" Nicole was surprised. She looked up and saw Jared walking in."I heard you're not feeling well?" Jared immediately questioned as soon as he entered
Jared decided not to tell her at the moment, about her ownership of the Fire Crest. Nicole had no memory of it. Even if she were to know about it, it would be another burden for her. Not many were aware that the Fire Crest had gone missing, so most people would still assume that Nicole was the owner.After hearing Jared's words, Nicole raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "You have such confidence in me."She dared not guarantee that those families would continue partnering with the Riddle Corporation. And yet, Jared was quite confident."Because it's you." Jared's gaze softened as he spoke to Nicole.In the past, Nicole had surprised him unexpectedly. He believed that even with a loss of memory, she was still the same old Nicole."Thank you for your kind words." Nicole smiled. Although she was unsure of how things would turn out, Nicole was exactly how Jared had described her to be. She had decided to fight for all the deals with all her might.A hint of tendernes
After making up her mind, Nicole got up and headed downstairs. Soon, she reached the lobby."Nicole!" Lulu and June waved their hands enthusiastically when they spotted Nicole."Lulu! June!" When she reached the girls, Nicole smiled. "Since it's lunch time, let's have lunch together.""Sure! We were thinking of treating you to a meal too." It was an opportunity for them to get together as well. It had been five years. There had not been any news about Nicole for five years and the girls were worried sick.Nicole brought them to a restaurant near the office building. They found a table somewhat hidden from view and sat down.After they had ordered, Lulu asked impatiently, "Nicole, what have you been through in the past five years? Why didn't you return for so long?""I ran into some problems." Nicole thought twice and still decided not to tell Lulu and June the truth.Nicole did not know how to break the news to the two girls. She was not sure if they could accept the things whic
