"Alright. You must be tired. Do get some rest when you've returned home." Nicole looked at Preston calmly, her face void of any anger of dissatisfaction for him.In her view, this entire incident had little to nothing to do with Preston. Because of this, she would not direct her anger at him. Since Snow had gotten the punishment she deserved, this issue was considered settled."I'll go first," Preston said, still guilty and blaming himself.Then, he turned around and walked off.Seeing that Preston had left, Nicole bit her lips, turned to Jared, and said, "I want to be discharged and go home.""Alright, I'll get Max to arrange it for you." Jared replied."I'll help you." Lulu packed Nicole's stuff as she said.Once everything was ready, the three of them left the hospital.When they arrived at the house, a pang of sadness struck Daniel and Gloria as they noted the gauze on Nicole's body."You were already injured this badly, and Snow still refused to give up? Was she trying to
"In that case, what should we do?" Gloria asked through gritted teeth. "I know that there's nothing else we can do about Snow. I'm just worried that with Dillon's attitude, will they continue to harm Nicole?"Gloria understood that Daniel's consideration was valid, but ultimately, she was more concerned about Karen and Dillion's behavior in the grand scheme of things. So long as they were allowed to act with impunity, Gloria could not be at ease."Let's wait and see how things pan out." Daniel responded, deep in thought.He had a feeling that Nicole had her own plan, and so, he believed they ought to sit and observe instead of getting in Nicole's way.Gloria nodded and looked at the flight of stairs the moment she heard that, her eyes bloodshot and teary.Back in Nicole's room, Jared laid her down on their bed and urged, "Get some rest.""Okay." Nicole smirked and nodded. After all, Jared would not know what Nicole was up to after he was gone.Judging by how brief her response w
Then, Jared looked up and stared to the front. "Keep an eye on Dillon as well."This time around, he wanted to make Dillon and Everett pay. In fact, Jared wanted the both of them, with their own two eyes, to watch him destroy the very thing which they had been trying so hard to get."Understood," Max replied.As the car sped across the highway, Jared leaned back against his seat. His eyes were so dark and abyssal that nobody could tell what he was thinking about.Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Ellison Group, Harvey seemed crossed when he saw Everett.When Harvey saw him, he yelled, "What the hell are you doing here?!""It's an emergency. Oh, and also, you don't get to have a say here. There's nothing you should be worried about," Everett retorted, seemingly not fazed at all.Harvey then looked at Everett coldly and asked, "What's going on?"Harvey was not worried about anything. He just felt that it was best for those beneath him to know their place."You know that Snow
It was extremely merry while the entire family was gathered together."Nicole, what happened this time was a close call. Don't take such risks anymore. There are multiple ways to deal with people like them, so why put yourself in danger? It's not worth it, especially for someone like Snow," June said, still feeling afraid on the behalf of Nicole.In response, Nicole chuckled. "Don't worry. Everything has been planned. We're just luring them out now.""But what if something unexpected happens?" June shook her head in disagreement."I know you're concerned about me, but trust me, we've made our arrangements, so you really don't need to worry. And look, I'm fine now, am I not?" she argued.June wanted to persuade Nicole further, but before she could, Samuel stopped her. "Don't worry, Mr. Johnston is with us. He won't let anything happen to Nicole."He believed that since it was a planned operation, it must have been approved by Jared, which definitely meant that the plan was well th
"These little rascals really gave me a hard time worrying about them, but thank God, they're all grown up now," Gloria said as she looked at her sons, her gaze finally falling on Stanley.'Sean and Steve have already gotten married, and now Spencer and Samuel are about to start their families as well. Stanley is the only one left. Why hasn't he found a girlfriend yet? Is it possible that he has neglected his love life because he has been too focused on his work?' she wondered.Sensing that his mother was scrutinizing him, Stanley felt a sense of pressure weighing down on him at once. He subconsciously avoided her gaze and lowered his head as he continued eating in an attempt to minimize his presence in the dining hall.He knew very well that he had Spencer and Samuel to face the music with him in the past, but now, he was all alone. This meant that he would be the only one left to deal with the pressure of getting soon. This had been foreseen long ago."Mom, Stanley will find happi
She knew that Jared had scooped those dishes for her.She looked at him with a smile in her eyes and said, "You too.""Yeah, let's dig in," Jared replied with a gentle gleam in his eyes."How's the arrangement going?" Nicole asked Jared in a hushed voice while eating."What do you think?" Jared's gaze narrowed.He could tell that Nicole had her own thoughts on this matter as well. So, he needed to consider whether their plans should be integrated.Nicole shook her head. "I was just asking."This prompted a frown out of him as he asked, "Really?"Feeling a little guilty under his gaze, Nicole chuckled awkwardly. "I really don't have much to say about your plan. But I just want to add a little something to uproot the problem entirely."After a brief pause, Jared said in a low voice, "James.""Yes. That guy is no slouch. He's pretty rapacious too."Unfortunately for James, Nicole had caught him with his guard down. It would be a waste if they did not make use of this opportunit
June shot her a look of displeasure. 'Can't she just not talk to me in such an awkward situation?'Lulu raised an eyebrow and gave June a meaningful look without uttering another word."Alright, remember to call me when you get home." Samuel reluctantly agreed, reminding June to give him a call once she's home.Then, Lulu linked arms with June as she teased him, "Don't worry, I won't lose your wife. I'll make sure she gets home safely.""Fine. Thanks, Spencer's wife," Samuel retorted playfully.This made Lulu blush at an instant, while June suppressed a laugh."Alright, we're leaving now," Spencer said, and warned Samuel with a glare.Samuel shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. "Thanks, Spencer.""Just thank me by talking less," Spencer said with a look of disdain before leaving with June and Lulu.After June and Lulu had bidden farewell to the Riddle family, they left the house with Spencer."Mom and Dad? We're also heading back now," Sean announced, about to take Jane home
After bidding them goodbye, Sean brought Jane into the car, and they drove away.Watching the departing car, Steve grumbled in discontentment, "You're the eldest anyway. You can't escape."Sally's heavy heart eased after she had heard the banter between the two brothers. "Sean and Jane are working so hard for the company. Why are you still arguing with him?""I'm busy too. Even though he's busy, he can still see his wife all the time...unlike me." Steve complained while he wrapped his arm around Sally's shoulder and leaned his head on her shoulder with a pitiful look on his face. "I can only see mine when I return home."Steve's antics amused Sally, who went into a fit of uncontrollable chuckles.Then, she patted him in the shoulder and said, "That's enough. Let's go home."Seeing that Sally's mood had improved, Steve smiled in relief, after which he effortlessly lifted her up and said, "Alright, let's go home.""Hey, slow down," Sally exclaimed in surprise, instinctively holdin
