Nicole spoke up after a while of hesitation. "Why don't you give a call to his office and see what's going on?""Oh, right. I'll give them a call." Lulu immediately picked up her phone and dialed the number."Hello, is Spencer in?" Lulu questioned anxiously as soon as the call was connected."He went to the hospital," replied the person over the phone.Lulu's face immediately turned pale. "W-what? Which hospital is he at?""John—"Lulu hastily interrupted and hung up. "Okay, thanks.'She turned to look at Nicole and said, "They said Spencer is in the hospital. I think something might've happened. I'll go have a look."Nicole looked at Lulu who was frantically trying to flag down a taxi, but to no avail."It's not easy trying to flag down a taxi during peak hours. Here, take my car," said Nicole."Where's Jared?" Lulu asked instinctively."I told him not to come," said Nicole as she flicked out her phone to text Jared to inform him that the company's driver would be driving t
Lulu slowly nodded her head, not wanting to be the unsympathetic one in this situation. Nicole patted Lulu's shoulder to assure her to trust Spencer and not beat herself up too much from overthinking."Are you guys... alright?" Spencer looked at Nicole and Lulu, furrowing his eyebrows. He felt an eerie chill down his back as he stood between them two.Lulu turned to look at Spencer with a forced smile. "We're great! How's Icyln doing?""The doctor said she's got hypoglycemia. She's getting an IV drip. She's going to be fine," explained Spencer. He left when he saw her waking up, though she was weak at least, she was out of the woods."Oh. Are you going to leave or stay with her?" asked Lulu."I was about to call you to pick you up, but you're here..." Spencer thought that since he did not have to pick her up, he could bring her straight to dinner then send her home.Lulu looked at Spencer, waiting for his response.Suddenly, a nurse came and interrupted. "Excuse me, sir. Your gi
Icyln silently gritted her teeth. She was dying on the inside, yet she had to pretend she was fine and calm on the outside."I'm sorry my illness caused him to pick you up late. I apologize for the trouble I caused you and to have you come visit me in person."Lulu walked over to Icyln's bed and looked at her IV bag, "You're utmost welcome. I'll be your sister-in-law soon anyway. Your IV seems to be almost finished. Looks like you're going to be fine."Icyln's heart was wrenching. She mustered up a smile. "Yeah, I feel better now."Lulu snorted mentally. 'She just said she wasn't feeling well and asked the nurse to inform Spencer. What a joke, this two-faced bitch! The nurse clearly would not have misunderstood the situation if she had not inputted.'Once he knew that Icyln was fine, Spencer asked, "Icyln, are you going to stay here for observation tonight or are you going back home to rest?""I..." Icyln gritted her teeth. Her initial plan was to stay and ask Spencer to stay wit
At the Riddle's residence, Nicole and Jared had just reached home."Have you both eaten?" Gloria asked as she saw them walk through the door."Not yet," replied Nicole."Spencer's junior, Icyln, had gotten sick. We went to the hospital to check on her and came back."Gloria immediately called the butler. "Alfred, can you get the cook to prepare dinner for them?""Yes, ma'am." Alfred quickly headed toward the kitchen as Nicole and Jared walked to the dining room."Mommy, we'll accompany you." Nolan and Lana turned off the TV and followed Nicole.Nicole pinched Lana's button nose and asked, "Are you hungry?""No.' Lana scratched her head. "Can I get dessert?""You're so cheeky. Do you want dessert, or do you want to accompany us?" asked Nicole."Of course, I want to accompany mommy and daddy!" Lana nodded vigorously, hoping Nicole would buy it.Lana's actions made everyone burst into laughter. Gloria ordered Alfred to prepare some dessert for Nolan and Lana.Gloria smiled con
It was not until later that Nicole found out that Jared was not spying on her, but he was just particularly concerned about her. That was why Jared always knew about her latest updates.Jared's stare included a tinge of disinterest as he realized Nicole was okay, and he stopped asking. He looked at her and held her hand. "I'm glad everything's fine. Time for bed.""Yeah," Nicole responded.The curtains were closed, and the lights in the room dimmed. In the quiet of the night, all was silent. Only the gentle glow of starlight remained in the brightly lit city.Amidst the darkness, one house continued to shine with its lights on, particularly eye-catching.In the living room, Harvey leaned against the sofa with his legs crossed, staring coldly at the person sitting on the side. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "This is the brainless Raine you talked about?"If it were not for Raine, their plan would have succeeded. They never expected to end up losing everything."I never knew Rain
Harvey had no intention of letting Nicole go this time. He would not allow himself to miss out again.Time passed, and three days went by in the blink of an eye. For the past few days, however, San Joto seemed unusually calm, a calmness that carried in it an eerie feeling.As soon as Lulu arrived at the company building, she hurriedly entered Nicole's office."Why has it been so quiet these few days? Is something wrong?" Lulu whispered with a frown.Nicole's eyes narrowed in response. "Well, I'm afraid that it only seems so on the surface."The more peaceful things seemed to be, the more intense and chaotic it would be behind the scenes."Are they waiting for the perfect timing?" Lulu solemnly asked.Such silence and tranquility had made Nicole uneasy. Everyone was hiding in the shadows without making any moves at all. No one could predict when the enemy was going to make their move.As such, Lulu was worried that Nicole would get involved or end up in danger.With a single gl
"Where could she be? I heard Dillion has been searching for her," Lulu said.If anything, Dillion ought to be enraged with Snow because she almost cost DillCorp a significant amount of money."It's alright. You'll see. She'll be back," Nicole shrugged, feeling indifferent to it all.In Nicole's opinion, Snow would eventually show up, no matter how long she stayed in her hole. Snow's absence only meant she was at a place where no one was keeping their eyes on. She would definitely not be staying in a hotel, as that was the easiest place for her to be caught. As such, she would most likely be holed up in a private house or a mobster's hideout.As things had happened so suddenly, Snow must have not brought enough money when she decided to leave. This would thus lead her with no other way out in the long run.Lulu nodded after hearing Nicole's explanation. "That's true. She can't hide forever."Without further thought, Lulu left the office, whereupon Nicole gave the documents a glanc
The passerby exchanged glances and dispersed soon after, leaving behind two black-clad individuals with grim expressions on their faces."Begin your investigation. I'll inform Max.""Sure thing."The two then went their separate ways.Meanwhile, the ambulance delivered Nicole and Lulu to the hospital, whereupon the paramedics hurried her into the ER.Lulu's hands and shirt were covered in blood as she stood perplexed in front of the emergency room, looking distraught and heartbroken. The people who had rushed over after receiving the news about Nicole were all worried sick after seeing Lulu in the state she was in."Hey, Lulu," Spencer approached Lulu and held her in his arms. "Don't worry. I'm here now."Upon noticing Spencer, Lulu gave him a blank stare, and in a second, she burst into tears. "Nicole's hurt! No matter how many times I called out to her, she just wouldn't answer back. I'm so scared...""Don't panic. What did the doctor in the ambulance say on the way here?" Sp
