Max picked Jared up from the Riddle residence."Mr. Johnston, the Genesis Group has been oddly silent. Do you think they might've picked up on something?" Max said with a dignified expression."It's probably nothing. Tell them to have a little more patience." Jared's eyes were gloomy. 'Hunters should have more patience if they want to succeed.'"Yes, sir," Max replied.Jared leaned back into his seat, his eyes were cold and blank. 'This time I'll set Lawrence back into his place. I'm not the one to be messed with.'The sun was scorching hot in the afternoon. Nicole had just gotten back from lunch and felt a little drowsy. She plopped down on the sofa to have a short nap.Nicole frowned as she heard a knock on the door. She opened her eyes slightly and called out, "Come in.""Nicole!" Lulu came rushing in, agitated as if she had heard news.Nicole could not help but smile when she saw Lulu's excited appearance. "What's the matter? Why are you so excited?""I have big news." Lul
It was evident that Nicole was not really interested to get to know how Snow and Harvey's relationship was progressing. Instead, she was interested to know about their collaboration together. Nicole understood clearly that if DillCorp took the project, the head office would more or less receive some impact.'I suspect that DillCorp eyed this project purposely, knowing that if I were to participate too, they won't have much luck securing this opportunity.'"Okay, that's enough for today. Let's get back to work," said Nicole, feeling refreshed after their mini gossip session.Lulu hesitated for a while before speaking up in a muffled voice. "Nicole, what would you do if you were to meet Harvey?"'Should this be considered an old friend reunion, or an old nemesis gathering?' Nicole thought to herself."What can I do? Hit him?" Nicole retorted.'If I can't hit him, then what's the point? I'll treat him like a stranger if all else fails.'Lulu busted out in laughter. "Well, that's an
The sun was setting in the horizon when Jared arrived at Riddle Corporation to pick Nicole up. Nicole just happened to step out of the office then. Jared got out of the car and opened the door for Nicole."You're here." Seeing him, Nicole started walking towards Jared with a smile on her face."Nicole, I'll get going now," Lulu said with a smile. She gave them a teasing look and ran off.Nicole rolled her eyes at Lulu and shouted, "Don't you worry! Spencer will pick you up later!""Don't make fun of me!"After Lulu left, Nicole turned around and followed Jared into the car."I have to go to the hospital first," she said.Jared nodded and replied, "Sure."Jared knew how much Nicole wanted to visit Samuel. Soon, they both arrived at the hospital. Samuel was unable to move by himself, but he was allowed to move around using a wheelchair.At that time, Samuel was having dinner with June in his hospital room. Both of them were surprised to see Nicole and Jared walk in."What bring
"Don't worry about it, Nicole. I can take care of him," June said, finally speaking up.June was over the moon when she heard that Samuel was going to get discharged soon. She was happy for him but at the same time she worried about him.'If no one can take care of Samuel by then, knowing his restless personality, he's bound to get into trouble if anything were to happen,' she thought."I'm sorry we have to trouble you with babysitting him," said Nicole. She did not have high hopes for Samuel, so she agreed on his behalf."But, if she has to take care of me, where will she stay?" Samuel frowned, feeling a little discomfort.'This is what I was afraid of. Tension in the air.' Nicole mentally cussed out Samuel in her mind. 'Why is he so stupid? Why can't he just agree, instead of asking questions like these? June has a two-bedroom apartment. Why is he concerned about this?'Knowing the current situation at the Riddle's, June answered after pondering a while, "Then we can stay at my
In the midst of the hustle, everything still seemed normal and progressed slowly.As usual, the whole city was bustling, and the people on the streets were all rushing to their own destinations.Jared sent Nicole to the Riddle Corporation as per routine.Just as Nicole got out of the car, Lawrence's car appeared and came to a halt beside them.Nicole looked at Lawrence with shock. "Leo, what are you doing here? Is something going on?"It was supposed to be working hours, so why would Lawrence appear there at that moment?"I'm here to see you." Lawrence's tone was calm, as if there was nothing going on. But when he turned his gaze to Jared, it was dark.In fact, Lawrence was actually in a bad mood. So, he wanted to find a place and take a breather. But the only place he could go was where Nicole was."Let's head up then." Nicole did not give it much thought and invited Lawrence to her office. Then, she turned back to Jared and said, "I'll head up now. Bye.""I'll pick you up wh
This coffee was specially prepared for her by Jared. In fact, Jared had also mentioned that all the coffees she drank previously were brewed by him.Therefore, Nicole's taste buds had been pampered with the best. How could she take in normal coffee anymore?Hearing Nicole's response, Lawrence narrowed his eyes and a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.He suddenly recalled Lana mentioning Jared and Nicole getting ready for their wedding. Lawrence felt even more annoyed.He had tried his best to stop Nicole from returning to San Joto, and all of it failed. And now, they were already in such a situation."Nicole." Lawrence's voice was hoarse."Yes?" Noticing that Lawrence was not in a good mood, Nicole raised her eyebrow and looked at him questionably. 'Did anything happen? Why is he acting weird today?'Lawrence smiled and asked casually, "I noticed that you've been really close to Jared these days. So, I'm curious if you've recalled anything from the past."Nicole shook her h
"Sean, why do I feel like there's something off with Lawrence?" Steve mumbled with a frown.At the same time, Sean's eyes darkened. "Yes, there's something sinister about him today."Although he still looked the same as before, the gaze from his eyes had left everyone around him feeling perturbed."Why did he look for Nicole?" Steve frowned again, worried that Lawrence would harm Nicole.Sean hesitated for a moment, after which he decided, "Let's check on Nicole."That feeling was inexplicable, and the only thing Steve knew was that he felt uneasy about it; the version of Lawrence he had seen today had put him on guard."Sure." Steve agreed.Naturally, he was willing to do so, as he felt really anxious for Nicole.When the both of them arrived at Nicole's office, Nicole was taken aback. "What's the matter?"'They should have concluded their meeting already. And since the both of them came over together, I guess it might be something about the company which requires my decision
Lawrence looked out of the window, and his gaze became even darker.Jared was really adept at pulling tricks and maneuvers, while Lawrence had been extremely careful and cautious with every move he made. And yet, once Jared had shifted the pieces to his favor, the tides turned.Lawrence even assumed that if he simply allowed Iris to do her job, Jared would only find out about her when he investigates. But lo and behold, Jared was able to connect the dots, traced it back to Lawrence, and used it as an opportunity to retaliate.Lawrence had poured a lot of effort into the project abroad. If he could not solve this issue, he would suffer major losses. Fortunately for him, he had noticed that something iffy was going on. At present, Lawrence wanted to see if Jared would continue playing the same card, now that Nicole had been dragged into it.In the Johnston Group headquarters, Max followed Jared into the office and with a heavy look on his face, he reported, "Lawrence went and met wit
