In response, Steve shrugged, "No, I actually bumped into Stanley earlier and he told me about it. I guess it's going to be quite busy for the entire family.""Yeah. Mom and Dad are over the moon right now." Nicole sighed as she recalled the beaming smiles on her parents' faces.Steve nodded. "If they haven't been putting this off, I think they should have been done with these wedding preparations early on."'It was not easy for them to put things on hold until now, given the circumstances,' Steve thought.Nicole darted her eyes at Steve. "Did you come here to tell me this?""No, there are other things." He smiled.Then, in a low voice, he said, "Everett is really trying to investigate the family assets. He's covering it up by searching for two missing painters while he's going crazy just to acquire more information about the family's assets.""He won't find it. However, one thing is for sure. He will definitely mark us as the suspects," Nicole replied with a frown.Sean had alr
"I'm not sure." James shook his head. "I have no idea if they didn't care enough for it, or they stopped investigating, since they can't find anything."Confused and pale, Raine asked. "But how will they explain anything to Grandpa if they stopped investigating?""Steve is keeping an eye on Everett. Perhaps he'll present a set of results similar to Everett's. As for Preston and Ellar, they're all good for nothing," James explained.However, he was still puzzled as he wondered what these people had in mind if they had chosen not to investigate the matter.This caused Raine to lash out. "How could they not do as they're told?"Feeling that it was a great opportunity to cause some havoc, James asked, "Should we tell Grandpa?""No, not yet," Raine shook her head. "Damien is currently the biggest suspect. Maybe they can come across some discoveries by monitoring Everett."Raine knew that Preston would be of no use, as well as Ellar. She thought that it would be best for them to do no
"Get someone to keep an eye on Snow..." Raine said, suddenly interrupted as someone knocked on the door.That was when she turned her gaze to the door and announced, "Come in."The secretary entered, saying, "There's mail for you, Miss Riddle.""A mail? Who sent it?" Raine asked while eyeing the envelope in her secretary's hand.Then, her secretary placed the mail down and explained, "There are no signatures or contact numbers on it."The only information on the envelope was the name of the receiver: Raine. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Thus, the receptionist had initially hesitated before inquiring about Raine's secretary, worried that the envelope was of some measure of importance. Because of this, she had gotten someone to send it to Raine."Alright, you can leave," Raine sent her secretary out, her mind filled with doubts. She could not ascertain what that mysterious envelope was all about. Until she could figure it out, she did not want anyone else to know.After
At three in the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot, and the summer heat had not abated in the slightest.Just then, Nicole came out of the office building of Riddle Corporation and got in the car with Lulu in tow."What made you want to visit Mr. Ellison?" Lulu asked.Nicole had yet to recover her memories, so technically, she should have no impression of Mr. Ellison."I met Harvey the other day, and he tested me," Nicole explained, wanting to clear her suspicions by paying a visit to Mr. Ellison and talking to him."He's so cunning!" Lulu rolled her eyes and muttered in frustration.Nicole sighed in response. "Well, you've beaten me to it."Harvey was no ordinary man. Nicole had always gotten a strange feeling from him. Harvey seemed normal on the outside, but Nicole felt there was a sense of malevolence in his eyes. Even when Harvey was smiling, it would seem blank, almost devoid of emotions."Lulu, what happened to the Ellison family in the past five years?" Nicole asked.
"That's great." Nicole smiled. She did not want to reveal that she had inquired Jared about Mr. Ellison's taste beforehand.Nicole heard from Jared who was an old acquaintance of Mr. Ellison. But he stopped all collaboration with Mr. Ellison because of Harvey. Jared did not want any further ties with Mr. Ellison for personal gain.However, Jared's café at Royal Creek Institute remained open this whole time. Mr. Ellison continued to frequent it since the coffee was special and unavailable elsewhere.Nicole did her homework when she decided to visit Mr. Ellison. She was quite close with him before; the slightest slip might give her away. That was the reason Nicole brought Lulu along, to cover for her."I'm happy you came to see me. After all, that grandson of mine... Haa, let's not talk about him," Mr. Ellison said with distress. He never imagined Harvey to turn out the way he did.Mr. Ellison had to cease all collaborations with Jared because of Harvey. With all the horrible things
Nicole went to see Mr. Ellison with Lulu. Despite the fact that they were close, Harvey felt it was unnecessary for Lulu to come along."Mr. Ellison has gone back to Royal Creek Institute and Mrs. Johnston must've returned to the Riddle Corporation. Nothing seemed out of place. It was an ordinary meetup," Harvey's secretary said."You can leave." Harvey gestured for his secretary to leave.His secretary acknowledged the command and left the office.Harvey leaned back in his seat, his gaze dark.'Nicole really went to see Grandfather. Did I guess wrongly? Why did I have the feeling that Nicole had changed? It wasn't how she looked or her personality. Nicole seemed exactly the same but different from before. There was something off about the Nicole now.'I didn't even feel this way when she used to avoid and detest me. What's going on now?' Harvey pondered. He gritted his teeth, puzzled. However, it was alright even if he could not figure it out as the truth would eventually come t
"I'm thinking about two companies at Mecrounia and three companies here at San Joto. I've already contacted SmithCore Enterprise, but all the other companies were far from satisfactory. After some consideration, Riddle Corporation seemed to fit the criteria, so I came to ask you. As for the joint trade..." Lawrence explained his conception and ideas seriously.Nicole nodded. "The plan's not bad. I'm sure things would go smoothly at Mecrounia since it's your own place."After all, Genesis Group's recent projects were not doing well. Lawrence's current choice was suitable for Genesis Group's development."So you're in?" Lawrence was filled with anticipation."I'll have to sleep on it. I'll tell you tomorrow." Nicole did not want to accept it immediately. The project proposal was decent, and it was well-suited for Riddle Corporation's development prospects. However, Nicole still wanted to discuss it with Sean and Steve before promising Lawrence.For some inexplicable reason, Nicole f
"The one from home is their effort, but the one I'll prepare comes from my heart. Lana is such a pretty girl, so her flower girl dress must be the prettiest too. Don't worry. I'll prepare it for her," Lawrence said, proud. He was determined to prepare Lana and Nolan's outfit.Nicole was left speechless. She could only reply, "Thank you. Lana and Nolan will be very happy.""I'm their Godfather. You don't have to act so formal in front of me." Lawrence waved a hand. He acted as if it was his duty to buy gifts for the kids, even if they were not the flower girl and page boy for the wedding.Nicole knew that Lawrence sincerely loved the kids. Her eyes softened.While chatting about the kids, they both finished their dinner.Looking at the time, Lawrence offered, "I'll send you home.""Sure," Nicole replied, standing up.Then, the pair walked to the car and left the restaurant. After a while, the car pulled up in front of Nicole's place."It's still early. Can I go in and see the ki
