It was not up to a secretary to talk about Nicole and Jared's affairs."You don't deserve to be with Jared!" Iris shouted furiously."I don't deserve to be with him?" Nicole snorted. Then, she calmly turned to Jared and said, "It's a pity that we're getting married soon.""No! That can't happen! It's impossible!" Iris instantly broke down and shook her head like a madwoman. She refused to believe it.Nicole narrowed her eyes and spoke in a cold voice. "These are none of your business. No matter what the reason is, they're not valid reasons for you to harm the company. Especially if it's because of your one-sided feelings."Jared did not wrong Iris. And yet, Iris took advantage of his kindness and wanted to ruin Johnston Group completely. That was simply unforgivable!Nicole's words caused Iris to tremble even more. Iris even looked at Jared instinctively.However, she did not expect Jared to ignore her totally. She did not even give Iris one glance.Iris gritted her teeth, and
Iris was trembling badly, as if a basin of cold water had just poured on her head.It made sense. She had lost her chance and she made too many mistakes. It never occurred to her that Nicole was already Jared's wife.By chance, Iris had heard that Jared had a wife in the past. But from what she understood, the lady was long gone. And now, she suddenly returned and was alive with two kids.The siren of the police car sounded in Iris's ears. She knew that everything was over for her. Her face turned pale.Iris remained silent the whole time when she was being brought onto the police car. She seemed to have lost the will and energy to live. Even her eyes looked as if she were in a daze.After watching the police car leave, Max ordered his men to leave. When he was finally alone, he heaved a sigh and shook his head.'Iris is such a fool! Even if Ms. Nicole never returned, Iris would've never had a chance,' Max thought.'If Ms. Nicole never returned and disappeared forever, Mr. Jared
"Alright, why don't you ask them when they're gonna get married? Tell them not to wait any longer," said Gloria.They chatted while munching on their breakfast.Lana, with a sparkle in her eyes, tilted her head and asked, "Mommy, can I go to Uncle's house tonight?"Nicole seemed unsure and replied, "Are you really eager to go, sweetie?""Yeah, Daddy, Mommy..." Lana said with a hint of sadness. "Ever since you stopped picking us up, we haven't spent much time together with you."Jared scooped up Lana and said, "Alright, we'll all go together tonight.""Sounds good," Nicole nodded. "After work, you pick them up, and I'll head to June's place on my own."Tia thought it might be a hassle for them, so she chimed in, "I can take Nolan and Lana there. Then I'll come back on my own."Stanley said, "Tia, we can just come back together."Just as Tia was about to explain why she wanted to come back, Stanley surprised her by saying, "I'll arrange for someone to take care of Mrs. Wallace S
"Hey, come on, it hasn't been easy for her," Nicole said, her eyes showing a bit of coldness."Oh, by the way, didn't Ellar mention seeing James with some girl before? I think I saw them together that day too," Lulu suddenly remembered, lowering her voice as if afraid someone might overhear.Nicole narrowed her eyes, thinking it was important to find out who this woman was and what she meant to James. 'Is James falling for someone else, or does he want to take over the whole Riddle family business?'"Nicole, what's going on in your head?" Lulu whispered, noticing Nicole's silence.Nicole's face turned serious, "Let's have someone thoroughly investigate this matter, leave no detail unchecked.""Sure, got it," Lulu replied, her expression becoming serious as well.The situation with James might have seemed like a coincidence once, but not twice. It was important to take it seriously.While waiting anxiously in the DillCorp's office, Raine couldn't help but pace back and forth unti
"Don't worry, I'll be with you all the time," James reassured Raine, giving her a hug.Raine blushed and smiled, leaning on James. It didn't matter that he didn't come from a fancy family. Right now, he was helping her, and that meant the world.As the sun went down, June's apartment was crowded."You guys really here to celebrate with me?" Samuel asked, looking a bit unsure as he glanced at his brothers. He felt like they were teasing him."You've got such a serious face, I bet your proposal didn't go well," Spencer said, teasing Samuel."Ha! Don't act like you had better luck," Samuel replied, giving Spencer a challenging look. "You're not fooling anyone either."Spencer was surprised for a moment, then he frowned at Samuel. "Well, at least I didn't get caught by paparazzi while dating someone."There was no denying it. Samuel had indeed been caught red-handed, so now he had to make the most of the situation and propose."Did June not agree?" Stanley asked in a hushed voice.
"Hi, Aunt June!" Nolan and Lana greeted as they saw June walking into the room.June was taken by surprise to see the little kids call her an aunt. The greeting had rendered her completely speechless."Aunt June! Are you not going to invite us in?" Lana asked, batting her eyelashes innocently.It was only then that June snapped back to her senses, and clumsily invited them in, "Yeah, erm, come in."Then, Tia led both Nolan and Lana into the house where the twins obediently went on to greet everyone who was present."Come and let me see you guys. I missed you guys so much!" Samuel exclaimed, missing them as he had not seen the twins for several days now.Nolan took a glance at Samuel's cast and asked, "Uncle Samuel, does it hurt a lot?""It doesn't hurt anymore now that I get to see you guys," Samuel replied with a smile on his face."Can you get married now since it doesn't hurt anymore, Uncle Samuel? Can I be the flower girl?" Lana raised her eyebrows as she bombarded Samuel w
Stanley then moved one of the fruit bowls closer to Tia, and whispered, "Have some.""Okay." Tia agreed with a nod before she picked a piece of fruit up and ate it."Hey, what's going on?" Lulu nudged Nicole upon noticing Stanley's treatment of Tia."Maybe...there's something. Let's just wait and see," Nicole replied with a smirk.Nicole felt that there was something going on between Stanley and Tia. However, she could not put a finger on what it was. They were both locked in a constant game of tug and war, and neither of them were willing to make the first move.Lulu raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. "So... maybe..."Then, she snickered as she stared at Stanley and Tia.While everyone else was chatting away, June noticed that it was already dinner time, and so, she ushered everyone to the dining hall, where she had prepared fondue for everyone. Once they were all seated, they dug in. A round of wine was given to those who drank, and before they knew it, everyone was having
'This is a problem, and she has still not figured out a solution to this?'After June had responded, Lulu stared at Samuel for a long while with her brows raised. 'If I ask him, will he think the same?'"Since we've been photographed together, of course we'll eventually have to come clean about it. I intend to make things clear with the team and have them announce it," Samuel replied, thinking it was good news.Upon hearing Samuel's words, June looked up at him in surprise. 'He wants to announce it to the world?'Coincidentally, the two of them looked at each other as if in bafflement. "Before this, I have always respected your decision of not disclosing the fact about us two, but now I feel that it's time for us to tell the world about it."The photograph was taken at June's home when Samuel was still recovering. If they did not disclose their relationship, June would be the one suffering the brunt of it from the public, which would pester with an endless stream of questions in t
