Chapter 2158

Author: Summer
"Take a seat," Lawrence's expression softened slightly as he gestured for Iris to take a seat.

Iris glanced at him and gracefully took a seat next to the couch.

Then she went straight to the point, stating, "Mr. Lawrence, I assume you remember what happened last night. So, let's talk about what you need me to do and what you can offer me in return."

"Do you want Jared or his empire?" Lawrence asked candidly, not hiding his intentions.

Iris raised an eyebrow. "What's the difference?"

"It's obvious. If Jared retains his current position, you'll never have him. So..."

Leaving the sentence hanging, he thought to himself, 'You should understand what I mean, right?'

Iris bit her lip, displaying signs of being conflicted within. She obviously wanted Jared, but...

Then, she looked at Lawrence and asked again, "What do you want me to do?"

Clearly, Lawrence wanted Jared to lose everything. If she had to choose between the two, she would choose Jared, but Lawrence was not a fool either.

    "I can't, but I hope NandoCorp wins." Lulu shrugged, looking as if she was just enjoying the show.Nicole raised an eyebrow. "Why do you want Damien to win?""Because I want Raine to lose," Lulu said confidently.Although Damien and his family were ridiculous people, Lulu just felt that it would be more entertaining to witness Raine's misfortune. And to top it off, it was a reason that Nicole could get behind. Either way, it was a very solid reason. If Damien won, it could further broaden the rift between him and Dillon, which would in turn be beneficial for Nicole.Moreover, the person she was most concerned with was Everett. If the battle progressed, there would be more opportunities for her to get to know him, which was indeed crucial for her."What do you think Raine will look like if she loses?" Lulu fantasized happily, as seeing Raine lose would definitely make her feel great.Nicole smiled, realizing that they had formed an unbreakable bond. "About them, you will automatic

    "Nope." Jared gently held Nicole's soft hand.Noticing that Jared seemed a little tired, Nicole tilted her head slightly and asked, "You seem a little exhausted. Is work piling up?""It's manageable."Jared tightened his grip on her hand, after which he instructed Max, "Let's go.""Yes, sir."The engine roared to life, and together, they headed toward the Riddle residence.Soon, they arrived at the Riddle family estate, where the courtyard was filled with parked cars."Looks like everyone's here." Nicole glanced around and commented."Yeah, let's go inside." Jared held onto Nicole's hand as they entered the mansion together.Laughter and joy filled the living room, creating a lively atmosphere."Mommy!" Nolan and Lana noticed Nicole's return and happily ran toward her.Nicole stroked their heads and smiled. "Did you listen to Aunt Tia today?""Yes," Lana responded sweetly as she nodded."Mommy, the family banquet today is so lively." Nolan grabbed Nicole's hand and looked

    Jane also nodded in approval and her eyes were filled with joy. She genuinely found Nicole likable as well.The whole family had their meal happily. The sound of chatter and laughter filled the room.Stanley was the only one who was eating alone, in silence and with his head down. One would wonder what he was thinking about, or if he was just focused on eating his dinner."Stanley, both Spencer and Samuel have their own girlfriends already. Isn't it time you put some thought into your personal life? You can't get left behind," Nicole teased, raising an eyebrow at Stanley.Stanley replied calmly, "If Mom wants a daughter in law, Spencer and Samuel will give her one soon. If she wants grandchildren, she can ask Sean and Steve. There's no rush for me."Nicole could not help but roll her eyes at Stanley. "That's their business. It has nothing to do with you."Then, she thought, 'When did this become a checklist? They're really treating it like a task from Mom.'"Stanley, I think you

    Nicole turned her gaze to June. 'She must have a similar reason.'Before they knew it, dinner was almost over, and the time was getting late.Sean left with Jane, and Steve with Sally. Gloria and Daniel went to put Nolan and Lana to sleep. Stanley watched the couples and did not want to be the odd one out, so he left too.In the living room, Nicole had some fruits while she chatted with Lulu and June.Without the older relatives around, Lulu and June seemed to be a lot more relaxed."So you don't remember us, Nicole? No wonder I've always had a weird feeling. It felt like you seemed a little different when you returned, but I couldn't figure out why." Lulu observed Nicole carefully. 'She could handle everything well, even without her memory. There's really nothing Nicole can't do.'Nicole replied apologetically, "I didn't let you know initially because I had to keep this a secret. Also, I never found the right time to talk about it."The right time presented itself that day, so

    Nicole looked at Samuel and Spencer. In turn, the two girls looked at Nicole, feeling bashful.It was not the boys who were unwilling to announce their relationship, but the girls. It seemed like both couples had agreed on it earlier on. Neither of them would talk about it, so the boys had no choice but to remain silent as they waited for approval from the ladies.In fact, the boys also felt aggrieved. They had girlfriends and yet, their relationship remained a secret."Well, it all depends on you two." Nicole shrugged her shoulders, seemingly helpless.Since this was June and Lulu's decision, Samuel and Spencer could only try to move the ladies' hearts with their actions and sincerity.After all, one could tell that the ladies cared about Samuel and Spencer a lot. As long as the two boys were sincere and determined enough, they could get the ladies to agree.Samuel and Spencer sighed. Without Nicole's help, the boys would have to go a long way to achieve that.Nicole shot a poi

    "Of course you did," Nicole replied, upset.Jared was persistent. "You're my wife. I don't think there's a problem with me saying such things."Nicole gritted her teeth and glared at him. "But you should at least mind where we are, shouldn't you?"Jared looked left and right. Then, he replied, "I definitely should've been more careful. Let's take this conversation to our room."As soon as he finished speaking, Jared lifted Nicole into his arms and strode toward the room.Nicole was so flustered that her cheeks felt like they were on fire. However, she did not want to make any noise as it would only bring her more embarrassment."Put me down," Nicole said in a low voice through her gritted teeth."Sure." Jared's eyes were smug as he spoke. He had already entered the room.Arriving at the bedside, Jared placed Nicole on the bed and said in a seductive tone, "I guess I don't have to mind where we are anymore."Nicole's heart was thumping hard, and her cheeks were bright red.

    In the courtyard of the Riddle's home, Spencer and Samuel had returned after sending Lulu and June home.After they got out of the car, the two brothers looked at each other."How are things for you?" they asked in unison. The both of them seemed to have understood that things were not going well for either of them."What do we do now?" Samuel was quite worried. He never knew that June was such a stubborn person.Spencer shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly, "You think I know?" If he had a way out, he would not be acting like this anymore."Forget it. We'll just ask Nicole tomorrow." Samuel felt that their sister would definitely have a good idea.Spencer nodded in agreement. "Alright then."After all, they were out of ideas. The only thing they could do was to wait.The next morning, the sun shone brightly.Nicole was getting ready to leave after breakfast, but Samuel and Spencer stopped her.Looking at them, Nicole was a little puzzled. "What's the matter?""Nicol

    After Nicole entered her office, Lulu followed in after her."I have good news!" Lulu smiled widely.Looking up, Nicole glanced at her friend and said calmly, "Raine lost."Lulu looked shocked. "How did you know?" After all, the news was just released.Pursing her lips, Nicole replied casually, "I could guess it just by looking at your expression."Apart from this matter, there was nothing else which could make Lulu this excited in the company."Oh." Lulu let out a sigh. "I wanted you to celebrate this with me, but you guessed it right away. Where's the fun in it now?"Nicole was amused. "There's no need to celebrate over someone's loss. In the end, it's predictable for Raine to lose to Everett."Although Everett appeared to be mature and honest, there was much more than that underneath the surface. Raine was no match for him.Lulu shrugged her shoulders. "That's true. It would be weird if Everett was the one who lost." She raised an eyebrow and looked at Nicole. "What's your

    "Let's go, it's time to head down. The ceremony will start soon."The group laughed and talked as they left the bridal suite. Jared and his friends, Spencer and Preston, were also guided out by everyone.Now, only the family of four remained in the bridal suite, getting ready for their big entrance."Mommy, it's almost time. Let's get ready," Nolan said, pulling on Nicole's hand.Nicole gently patted Nolan and Lana's cheeks, whispering, "Okay."As she made to stand, Jared extended his hand toward her. Lifting her gaze, she caught Jared in a moment of elegance, his charm unmistakable. A smile bloomed on her face as she placed her hand in his.With a gentle tug, Jared drew her up, his touch tender against her palm.In a swift move, he pulled Nicole into his arms, his other hand circling her waist to pull her close.As Jared looked at Nicole, admiration shimmered in his eyes. "You look truly beautiful today," he remarked."Daddy, Mommy is beautiful every day," Lana chimed in, til

    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. "Sounds perfect."With everyone agreeing, the stylist went ahead with preparing Nicole.Lulu watched Nicole, amazed by how calm she seemed. "Aren't you a bit nervous?" she asked. Lulu remembered her own wedding jitters.Nicole bit her lip, a hint of nerves showing. "I'm more excited than anything," she admitted.She had been looking forward to this day, ready to face the future with Jared with hope and joy."Just finished," the stylist announced, stepping back to adm

    "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. Everyone was talking about Jared and Nicole's wedding.Politicians, business leaders, close friends, and business partners all came to wish the couple well.The Riddles were busy welcoming the guests, making everything look amazing."Patricia, hurry up, Charlie's here," Ellar called out as he spotted Charlie. He quickly got Patricia to come and greet him. Max, hearing the fuss, came over too.C

    "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. Then, looking at Charlie, she asked, "Need help with

    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
