Harvey's expression was icy cold as he darted his eyes at Everett. "What are you doing here?""Mr. Ellison, I had no idea James was such a cunning one. I underestimated him, not knowing that he has been playing dumb all along," Everett fumed, choked with rage and frustration.Everett was convinced that he would have bagged DillCorp had it not been for James.With his eyes trained on Everett, Harvey replied, "This has nothing to do with me. Regardless of whether you win or lose, it doesn't affect me."Everett suddenly felt a pang of guilt, but then, he continued in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ellison, I don't understand what you're saying.""It doesn't matter anymore. But remember, don't come to me in the future any longer. I want nothing to do with someone who has proven time and again to be a thorn in my side," Harvey finished and turned to his assistant."Walk him out, and don't ever let him in ever again," he said.Initially, Harvey had thought that Everett was just the right amo
Hearing that, Everett's expression softened. "Go sort out the arrangements.""Yes, Mr. Riddle." The assistant breathed a sigh of relief.Everett leaned against his seat with a leer on his face. 'Just they wait. When I get my hands on DillCorp, they won't have the guts to look at me funny anymore.'In a blink of an eye, three days went by, and on the morning of the third day, Nicole received a call from Lulu."Nicole, James has made a move," she reported.A frosty glint flashed across Nicole's eyes as soon as she heard that. "He couldn't wait, could he?""I know, we should make our move too," Lulu said with a hint of excitement in her voice.Nicole smiled. "Sure.""I'll update you when there's news.""Okay." Nicole hung up and shook her head as she chuckled. 'Lulu must've been super anxious.'Then, the twins came in and curiously asked Nicole, "Mommy, what are you laughing at?"Nicole caressed their heads gently as she said, "It's nothing. Let's head downstairs, shall we?""
A look of determination flashed across Nicole's face as she replied, "Dad, things will be fine as long as you know what's going on. You have us three. We will do everything we can to ensure that DillCorp doesn't fall into the hands of James."If anything, Nicole had prepared herself for this moment for the longest time now. 'Dillcorp shall not fall into the hands of James or Everett. Everything will go according to my plan.'Hearing that, Daniel issued a huge sigh. "Alright, I trust you guys."Daniel knew that he had no influence over anything that was happening. To him, all that mattered was that none of his loved ones were harmed."I want you guys to be careful, okay," Daniel warned as he looked each and every one of his children in the eye."Relax, dad. I will," Nicole assured with a comforting smile on her face."Right. Let's eat. Better not keep your mom waiting," Daniel said as Stanley came running down the flight of stairs.He too had overheard the conversation.Nicole n
"It's all because Everett has failed again. On top of that, Everett had his own plans which is why Harvey ditched him," Max replied."Everett got ditched?" Jared narrowed his eyes, 'Is it possible that Harvey is planning something big?'"Yeah, it seems to me that Everett isn't going to quit either. He seems to be up to no good, and has been pestering Raine for the past few days. However, the good news is that he has failed to do so and the assets of DillCorp have been transferred away by Raine."A smile crossed Jared's face, and that was when he realized where Nicole's confidence had originated from.Max was stunned when he noticed the smile on Jared's face. He lost grip on the steering wheel, careening the car into the left lane. Alarmed, Max quickly swerved back to the right.'Why is Mr. Johnston smiling like that? Did something ridiculous happen to Everett?' thought Max to himself.Meanwhile, Jared quickly regained his composure. "Don't worry about Everett for now. We can sit
"I did it for our sake. Had I been capable, I would have been the inheritor of the Riddle family's fortunes and everything in the company would have belonged to us," Raine said.It was obvious to everyone that Mr. Riddle Sr. favored Daniel and his children over everyone else in the family. At this point, Raine had no choice but to come to terms with the reality of it all.Hearing his daughter's words, Dillion gritted his teeth and bellowed, "You planned to seize Riddle Corporation?! With that brain of yours?! Don't make me laugh. Think about it, you gave DillCorp to James. Had you taken Riddle Corporation, you would've given James the entire company!"Raine was rendered speechless, and her face turned pale green. 'How could I have known that James, a man so sweet and kind, would turn out to be such a scum?'Raine gritted her teeth as she stood up. "I will go find him. I'm going to reclaim what's mine."Then, Raine quickly ran out of the house after she had spoken.Dillion became
"I just find it strange that Raine suddenly rushed back to DillCorp," Nicole thought aloud."Yeah, I find that strange too. She left shortly after arriving at the scene," Lulu echoed.After a few seconds, Nicole frowned. "Get someone to check and see what she is up to.""Okay," Lulu replied."As for Dillion's family, you should also pay close attention to them," Nicole added.With eyes as cold as frost, Nicole thought, 'If these people can't play by the rules, they can't blame me for being cruel to them either.'"Okay, but do you think they're trying to pull another d**k move?" Lulu asked.Nodding, Nicole replied, "That possibility can't be ruled out. That much is true."As everyone knew that James had taken DillCorp, the notion of Raine going to DillCorp meant that there was still a chance for them to get a second wind.Lulu sneered. "They're just like gnats we can't seem to get rid of."Meanwhile at Dillon's residence, everyone around the room was tense. Everyone present wa
"Of course. Consider it karma for all the crap he had pulled," said Lulu as she thought, 'It would be understandable if he did this to gain power, but ultimately, his act of betraying his loved one is a step too far.'Nicole chuckled and shook her head. "Alright, that's enough. Everyone must be responsible for their actions and be held accountable for whatever they have done. With that said, he will pay for what he has done."Not wanting to waste any time, Lulu said, "What should we do next? Announce it?"Lulu wanted to know what Nicole's next move was, as James's affairs were rather significant in relation to the business of the Riddle Corporation.Nicole narrowed her eyes. "Yes, we can announce it.""Okay," Lulu agreed in high spirits.'As soon as the news is out, everything will be over once and for all. Dillon's family will be having the shock of their lives as they hear this piece of news,' Lulu thought."Then I shall go and make all necessary arrangements for the news to b
Jared gradually looked down and gently kissed her in the lips. Nicole, in return, closed her eyes and reacted out involuntarily.The next morning, the crisp and clear chirpings of the bird woke them up from their slumber.Nicole opened her eyes to the sight of Jared who had just woken up as well.Looking at each other, Nicole bit her lips and gave him a coy smile. "You're up.""Yeah." Jared gently stroked her hair and handed her a shirt, causing her to blush.After they had gotten out of bed and washed up, they headed downstairs.During breakfast, Lana and Nolan went on to bug Jared and Nicole into sending them to school. Due to how persistent they were, Nicole could not help but to agree to their request.And so, after they had their breakfast, Jared and Nicole proceeded to send the little cuties to school."Mommy, do you have any secrets? Would you mind telling us about them first?" Nolan lifted his head and asked with a curious look on his face."Secrets?" Nicole was a litt
