"Well, the current situation is still a little too much for Nicole to handle. It would have been better if she had recovered her memories," Spencer sighed.He felt that if Nicole had regained her memories first, these things would not be much of a challenge to her."Well, this... Ugh." Everyone breathed a collective sigh.Although they did hope that Nicole could regain her memories sooner than later, all of them understood that it was not easy. Otherwise, Nicole would not have gone for five years without recovering any of her memories."Dinner is ready," the butler came over and said."Come on, Mom. Let's eat first,"Regardless of what happened, they still had to pull themselves together."Alright, let's eat," Gloria agreed.She then looked at the two kids and said, "Nolan, Lana? Do you want to eat some more?"Both of them shook their heads together and replied, "No thanks, Grandma. We've eaten enough in kindergarten.""Alright then, you guys be good and watch TV. We are goin
"Grandma, I want to sleep. Why don't you tuck me in?" Lana softly pleaded with Gloria, having understood what her brother was trying to do."Alright, Grandma will stay with you," Gloria's eyes wrinkled with a smile.Lana had her ways of touching people's hearts.As Gloria led Lana away, the latter signaled Nolan with a glance, to which he nodded his head. Only then did she walk off with a smug sense of satisfaction. Although Lana could not understand what Nolan was doing, she knew he wanted to avenge their Mommy. That was enough for Lana, as the bad guys should be taught a lesson.After Gloria had taken Lana away, Nolan continued typing away on his computer. Soon, he raised his chin in triumph and keyed one last line in. He then closed his computer in contentment, happy at the masterpiece he had created. After giving himself a rinse, he climbed into bed, covered himself with a blanket, and slept.Nicole, who knew nothing about anything, simply ate dinner and prepared herself for s
"Are you done?" Jared's voice sounded out outside the bathroom door.Hearing that, Nicole instantly tensed up and she stammered, "E-Em yes. I'm ready."After dawdling for a while, Nicole came out of the bathroom with the intention of leaving it for Jared. While he was at it, she would seize the opportunity to hurry downstairs. However, to her surprise, she ran directly into a sturdy embrace and was forcefully kissed the instant she stepped out of the bathroom."Hmm..." Nicole was about to protest, but then, her delay in reaction gave Jared a chance to take control right away as his sense of rationality began to slip.After a passionate kiss, Jared released Nicole with a satisfied smile. "Wait for me."With that, Jared went into the bathroom, leaving a dazed Nicole to snap back to reality and grit her teeth in frustration. "Jared!"A low, soft laugh came from inside the bathroom, making Nicole even more frustrated and helpless."Mommy," The room door opened, and Nolan and Lana po
As she stared at Jared's figure in the front, Nicole shook her head and thought, 'Lana sure is daddy's daughter. He might have noticed it, but he is choosing not to acknowledge it.'"Okay," Nicole uttered, deciding to drop the matter.She figured that no matter how naughty Nolan was, he would never drag Lana along into something dangerous.After they had gotten downstairs, the others slowly came down too."Mom, Dad.""Grandma, Grandpa."After greeting one another, Gloria could not help but ask, "You worked till it was so late yesterday. Why did you get up so early today?"Gloria thought Nicole would have slept in until noon, not expecting her to be up this early."I heard about the company's situation, so what's going on?" Samuel asked, looking at Nicole with a mix of concern and guilt.However, before he could finish what he was about to say, Nicole spoke first. "Don't overthink it. Sean, Steve, and I can handle it."Nicole understood what Samuel wanted to ask. She was not i
Since they had set a trap for Spencer, no one shall be spared from being dragged down by him."No, wait? What's going on?" Gloria asked Samuel, having caught the keyword at once."Nothing. Nothing's going on. Let's eat," Samuel said, wanting to shift the attention away from himself, as he did not dare to admit it."Why, you two b*stards! What is going on?" Gloria anxiously asked.Spencer and Samuel then exchanged glances and reached an unspoken consensus."Oh wait, I suddenly remembered that there are still some details to go over for today's press conference. I'll skip breakfast. You guys go ahead," Spencer said and left in a hurry."Wait for me. I just remembered that I have a sudden training session too," Samuel followed Spencer out, completely ignoring the fact that he was still wearing his pajamas."These two are really..." Gloria felt frustrated.Whenever they got around to touching this topic, they would always flee from it. Gloria really did not understand why they were
Once he saw that Nicole had entered the company building, Jared's soft and gentle gaze darkened."Are the export orders from Radiance Commerce settled?" Jared asked with a hint of coldness."The permission from customs has been obtained. Everything went smoothly," Max replied respectfully."Alright. Export the orders as soon as possible," Jared said with a trace of contempt in his voice.Lawrence wanted to create problems for Jared, so he had sabotaged the contract that Jared was negotiating with Happiness Trading. However, this did not matter to Jared, as he had no problem contacting Radiance Commerce. If they were quick enough, it would give Lawrence a surprise.And as his eyes turned cold, the air around Jared became icy as well."Don't worry, Mr. Johnston. We have already arranged the shipments," Max reassured. He understood they needed to buy time and take control of the situation.The car then gradually drove away, leaving behind a trail of fading smoke.In the meantime,
Nicole thought they were attributing too much importance on her when she heard that Dexter was coming over to convey their gratitude. She could not help but laugh."Dexter, you don't have to thank me."If they were merely coming over for a visit, Nicole would be happy to have them. However, she would be unable to deal with the pressure if they did show up to personally thank her."You don't have to be so polite to Emma and me. You can treat it as if it's just a family gathering," Dexter said, remaining very adamant.With that, Nicole had no choice but to accept his demand. "Alright then. I'll just think of it as a family gathering.""Well then, that's a deal," Dexter happily agreed."Alright. I'll inform Mom and Dad to prepare for your arrival," Nicole promised.Dexter immediately admonished, "There's no need for that. We're family, so you don't have to prepare anything,""It's alright. We'll be waiting for your arrival," Nicole said."We'll be on time," Dexter replied.After
"Hehe," Steve chuckled. "I heard something has been going on with Damien and Dillion, and you're currently in a terrible fix.""Something's going on?" Nicole asked in confusion.Indeed, it was a little coincidental that both of their companies were experiencing issues at the same time.Steve shrugged, acting as if he was enjoying the scene. "That's right. I heard there were sudden fluctuations in their stock prices. They will suffer significant losses if they can't stabilize the stock prices quickly enough. "An inexplicable feeling crossed Nicole's heart at that instant. It was normal for stock prices to fluctuate in most cases, but the sudden emergence of abnormal fluctuations was a rare scenario. As such, if the issue was not a direct result of the company's operational mistakes, it would mean that someone was engaged in sabotaging them with due diligence.The word 'hacker' suddenly crossed Nicole's mind. She began to wear a complex expression on her face as her mind wandered s
