Chapter 2321

Author: Summer
"Don't worry. It'll be back." Mr. Riddle Sr. stood up.

Seeing Mr. Riddle Sr. preparing to go back to his room, the butler asked, "You haven't finished your dinner. Why don't you eat some more?"

"I'll pass. I have no appetite." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.

The butler helped Mr. Riddle Sr. up the stairs and comforted him, "Don't worry, Nicole would never do such a thing. It must be a coincidence."

"I know she didn't." A thought flashed through Mr. Riddle Sr.'s mind then. It seemed as if Nicole was giving that person a chance to commit the crime. Perhaps Nicole had already figured something out.

Mr. Riddle Sr.'s decision to have the four families investigate was merely a compromise. The situation happened right under their nose when everyone was present. It was only natural to have everyone investigate it. No matter the result, the outcome would be accepted collectively. However, Mr. Riddle Sr. still held hope in Nicole, thinking she might know something.

Meanwhile, Damien and Dillion had

    "Come on, you're the boss. I'll come to get the result when the time comes." Preston was still happy after being scolded. He cheerfully got into the car and left."Hey, I didn't promise you anything." Steve rolled his eyes in exasperation. This was not what he meant by asking Preston to leave.Ellar's expression lit up as he realized the cheat code and bowed toward Steve. "Thank you, Steve. I'll also be leaving now."Ellar then quickly pulled Dexter and Emma into the car and ran away, fearing that he had to stay back to investigate the matter."Hey! You guys have gone too far!" Steve fumed, anger boiling in him. 'How could they? They actually shifted all the responsibilities to me, and are waiting to take advantage of what I find!'Looking at the empty crowd, Steve rolled his eyes in frustration."Steve, you have to investigate this matter thoroughly. After all, it concerns your older brother and sister," Gloria said with a worried look.Seeing Gloria's concern, Steve could only

    As Nicole was thinking of Preston and Ellar, she helplessly shook her head and chuckled softly. She wondered if Mr. Riddle Sr. would be angry if he knew about Preston and Ellar's behavior when the property deeds for the Riddle family manor were lost.'Even if they believed me, aren't they curious about who exactly took them?'Meanwhile, Damien had already returned home."Go upstairs and check on Chloe," Damien said, glancing at Miley."Okay," Miley replied and went upstairs."Dad, any updates?" Everett eagerly waited until Miley's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs before asking.Damien shook his head. "No.""Why is it taking so long?" Everett furrowed his brows slightly as his expression turned solemn."Don't worry. The arrangements were made with trustworthy people. They won't have other intentions," Damien whispered. Besides, those things were only useful in his hands, and not in anyone else's."I'm just worried that delays may lead to more complications." Everett'

    "We were knocked unconscious as soon as we left the Riddle family manor. We came here right after," the two individuals stuttered as they recalled. They genuinely had no idea.Everett narrowed his eyes as he took out a card and handed it to them. "Take the money and leave San Joto forever. Don't come back, and don't let anyone find you. Otherwise, you can consider yourselves dead.""Understood." The two individuals trembled as they accepted the card, feeling a chill down their spines."Please." Everett looked at the butler."Yes, sir." The butler understood Everett's intention and led the two individuals to leave through the back door.After the two had left, Everett looked at Damien and said, "Dad, I'm afraid we're in trouble.""We're the only ones who knew about this, so how did it get leaked?" Damien found it hard to accept such a possibility."The only explanation for a coincidence like this is that someone is targeting us." Just as they had succeeded, they were suddenly att

    Sean glanced at Steve and said, "Just do what you need to do.""Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Everett." Whether it was the task given to them by Mr. Riddle Sr. or preventing Everett from tracing them, Steve was determined to keep an eye on Everett.Sean knew that Steve understood what needed to be done, so he looked away and instructed the driver to start the car.Soon, they left the Riddle family manor.After entering her house, Nicole found Daniel, Gloria, and Stanley in the living room."What exactly happened today?" They could not ask any questions back at the old house, so now they came bursting forth.Nicole smiled calmly. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine.""Do you know something?" Stanley furrowed his brows slightly.She briefly explained the situation and advised them, "Just pretend you don't know anything. You don't need to worry about anything else. Sean and I will handle it.""If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Gloria let out a sigh of relief.Although

    Meanwhile, most of the people had gradually returned home after having spent a considerable amount of time by the river. Only a few groups were left, and they were still enjoying the serene view of the flowing waters.Spencer and Lulu walked hand in hand along the embankment, where the wind would blow from time to time, making Lulu's hair flow ever so gracefully in the wind."Are you cold?" Spencer lowered his gaze, looking at her with concern."Not at all. The evening breeze feels quite nice." Lulu smiled and shook her head gently.Fixing her hair, Spencer muttered, "I'm sorry for making you upset earlier. I'll be more careful in the future. I'll try to reduce the amount of time I spend with Icyln outside of work.""It's okay, I understand that you're in a difficult position. I've never blamed you for anything before." Lulu said, understanding that Spencer was stuck between a rock and a hard place.Besides, he had not done anything inappropriate, having only acted out of duty fo

    Looking at the ring wrapped around the finger of her left hand, Spencer gently embraced Lulu in his arms and whispered, "Thank you, Lulu""I should be the one thanking you. You're so outstanding, and yet, you chose me in the end." Lulu blushed as she bit her lip.Spencer lowered his voice as he brushed her hair and said, "You're exceptional too, and you're the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with."Her heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank as she looked Spencer in the eye.Then, Spencer lowered his head and lightly kissed Lulu in the lips.As the clock ticked, the sky became darker, with Nicole and Jared returning to their own room after tucking their children in."Did everything go smoothly at the family manor?" Jared asked in a hushed voice."We're fine, but some of them didn't have it easy," Nicole said with a smirk playing on her lips.Jared raised an eyebrow. Though he did not know what had happened, it was evident that Nicole was in a good mood. On

    Lowering his head, Jared kissed Nicole's lips without giving her a window of escape.The next day, Nicole arrived at the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation as usual."Here are today's documents," Lulu entered and placed the files on the desk.As Nicole's gaze swept over the documents, her eyes were immediately drawn to the ring on Lulu's hand."The ring! What's going on?" Nicole immediately questioned, sensing that something significant must have happened last night.Glancing at the ring, Lulu's cheeks flushed, and she coyly said, "Oh, uh, we've decided to get married.""More like you've finally decided to marry Spencer," Nicole teased.In response, Lulu bit her lip and nodded. "I've figured it out, so I proposed to him."Nicole's eyes widened in surprise. She was amazed that Spencer had acted so quickly this time, but she was taken aback by the fact that it was Lulu who had proposed.Caressing the ring, Lulu explained, "He prepared this ring when he proposed to me months

    "Yes, sir."After the servants had left, Nicole handed the file to Mr. Riddle Sr. and said, "I'm here to deliver this, of course.""What is this?" He opened the file, and upon reading its contents, his eyes widened in astonishment. "Nicole, this...""Well, thanks to your wise planning, we've managed to retrieve the stolen items successfully," Nicole stated, believing that he would understand the intended meaning behind her words.Indeed, upon hearing Nicole's words, Mr. Riddle Sr.'s face blanched.He had tipped her off earlier, so Nicole's implication was that he had warned her about Damien's frequent visits to the house, prompting her to be vigilant, and ultimately leading to the recovery of the property deed.As it turned out, Damien had a specific purpose for returning — to bribe the two gardeners, seize the opportunity when everyone had gathered around, and steal the deed to the property. If the deed had ended up in Damien's hands, the consequences would have been dire."Tha

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.

    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.

    "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
