After Mr. Wyance bade farewell to Mr. Ellison, he then followed Harvey out of the principal's office.Outside, Snow's eyes lit up the moment she saw Harvey coming out. "Harvey!"Mr. Wyance immediately recognized Snow at a glance. When he saw her walking quickly over here, a trace of rejection appeared in his eyes.The two bodyguards saw this too and were about to stop her when Mr. Wyance made a motion for them to stand down, and they did not touch her.Snow noticed Mr. Wyance standing by Harvey's side. Little wonder there were bodyguards by the door. Only the Wyance family would be so high-profile.She adjusted her expression and maintained her smile as she came to Harvey. Her entire person was graceful, and she looked like she was a lady of a noble house.Knowing that Snow was here for Harvey, Mr. Wyance smiled at him and said, "You youngsters can talk. I'll head off first."Harvey did not insist on him staying as he nodded. "Goodbye, Mr. Wyance."When Snow saw Mr. Wyance and
An elusive look appeared in his eyes as he said gently to Snow, "Snow."Snow turned toward Harvey and, for some reason, felt a hint of an oncoming storm from his gentle eyes.Looking at Harvey like that, she could not muster up a single word.Harvey's expression only lasted a second before he lowered his head and handed a box that appeared out of nowhere to Snow. His tone was very gentle. "This is the present I got for you in Nottingbrook."He smiled as he looked at Snow, yet his words seemed to be bereft of power and were flighty."You've got to take good care of it."Snow received the gift ecstatically. Harvey had given her many presents in the past, and every one of them was valuable. It would not be an exception this time either.After all, with Harvey's net worth, he would not even blink when buying things that Snow considered precious.Even when she knew that the gift would be extraordinary, Snow was still stunned when she opened the box.She let out a shocked gasp as sh
He called her Snow. An inexplicable fear suddenly surged within her. 'Does that not mean that I'm like any other person in Harvey's eyes?' That I can no longer claim any special relationship with him?' When she thought of this, Snow's face turned pale as she quickly took out the diamond and took a good look at it. She comforted herself, "It's okay. Harvey's just probably in a bad mood. He even gave me such a precious diamond; how can he give up on me..." After that, she forced out a smile on her face.Harvey could not be bothered with what Snow was thinking as he drove all the way out of the city. He kept accelerating and accelerating, and very quickly, he was already at San Joto's speed limit. Yet, he did not care about it. A traffic police officer tried to stop him but was, in turn, stopped by someone beside him.The older policeman sighed, and he said, "Should've asked you to train your eyesight. Luxury cars in San Joto are probably nothing, but that car just now..."The younger
Thinking that she would settle her score with Nicole sooner or later, Chloe felt much better.The two got back to the hotel, and just as they were about to rest, the concierge told them that their room card had been frozen, and their items were soon taken out of the room and arranged neatly in the lobby.Chloe's face was blue with anger as she yelled. "Is it because of your manager? Let me tell you, I know Mr. Jared..."Before she could finish, she was mercilessly interrupted by the concierge staff by the side as he politely responded. "It is not that hotel is discriminating against you, ma'am. It's just that Nachelle Holder had already checked out from all of the reserved rooms and left. Thankfully you returned today. Otherwise, your items will be tossed away if they remain unclaimed for more than 24 hours."Chloe was both shocked and angry when she heard that. "Nonsense! We are still filming here! How can Nachelle Holder check out from all of the rooms? It must be your doing!"S
Luka went to pick up the luggage dejectedly as a trace of resentment appeared on his face. 'If it weren't for Chloe, I would not have ended up like this.' However, none of these mattered anymore. Both of them were on the same boat now, and their interests tightly bound together. It was far too late to leave now.A sliver of resentment toward Nicole then appeared in his eyes. 'It's all that damned Nicole's fault that I end up like this. If I ever run into you in this country again, just see how I do you in!'Chloe walked out of the hotel door and hailed a taxi as she headed straight to the airport. Sitting at the boarding gate, she angrily gave Miley a call. Upon receiving the call, Miley was surprised as she asked, "Chloe, aren't you filming now? Why do you have time to call mommy?"Chloe's voice was chilly. "Mom, where's Uncle Daniel's daughter, Nicole, now?"Miley asked her quizzically, "Nicole? Why are you asking for her? She isn't even a member of the Riddle family. You are a m
When Damien heard Chloe, he frowned. His daughter was competitive by nature, and no matter what she did, she would strive for the best. It was because of this she got the recognition of the Rogers branch family, but it was since then that she began to lose patience and refuse to bow her head in everything.'How can she achieve grander things like this?'Damien shook his head, and his voice bore a tinge of resoluteness. "It's decided. Open your eyes, don't be fooled by the illusions before you."'Wasn't she always clear on what she wanted?''For those things, she needs to ignore the rest.'When Chloe heard Damien's words, she slowly calmed down as she carefully pondered her father's words. A moment later, seemingly realizing something, she responded softly. "Alright."Seeing that Chloe knew what he meant, he told her a few more things with great satisfaction before hanging up.He looked at his watch and was about to leave the office. He then saw Everett standing by the door with
"B0-2, Three times a day."Rowan pulled the medicine into his chest pocket, and just as he was about to ask something, Nicole had already turned around and walked to Mr. Riddle Sr.'s ward.Rowan was taken aback and asked, "The operation is complete. Why don't you take a break?"Nicole waved him off. She wanted to check and ensure nothing was wrong.Rowan knew her nature, and when she was responsible for something, she would be terrifyingly serious. Now that Mr. Riddle Sr. was her responsibility, how could she take a break just like that?He shook his head and said somewhat oddly. "I'll go make the medicine then."Nicole did not look back at him as a smile appeared on her lips.By the time Rowan was done mixing the infusion and returned to the ward, he noticed a medium-sized book in front of Nicole. He deftly did the infusion and hung the drip bag, and walked over to her side to see what she was up to.When he saw what was before her, Rowan's eyes widened."Eh, Nicole, what's w
Rowan immediately shrank back as he laughed. "Let's talk like civilized people. I'll leave myself."He remembered the one time he interrupted Nicole's experiment, and she gave him the same kind of gaze. The next second, she tossed him out of the lab.He was not exaggerating. She really did toss him out.Rowan fell outside the door, his entire person in a daze. He pinched his muscles in disbelief, and when he looked at Nicole's slender arm, he started to doubt himself.However, he had the awareness to never challenge Nicole's patience.A long separation somewhat dulled that pain as Rowan walked out of the ward with an impassive look on his face.He had not slept for a whole day and night. He was not a monster like Nicole.He still needed his sleep.Nicole ignored Rowan as she slowly twirled her pen and quickly went through the exercise. She did not have much time left and needed to learn the cumbersome algorithms used by the common folk to calculate these things.After all, the
"Let's go, it's time to head down. The ceremony will start soon."The group laughed and talked as they left the bridal suite. Jared and his friends, Spencer and Preston, were also guided out by everyone.Now, only the family of four remained in the bridal suite, getting ready for their big entrance."Mommy, it's almost time. 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. Lifting her gaze, she caught Jared in a moment of elegance, his charm unmistakable. A smile bloomed on her face as she placed her hand in his.With a gentle tug, Jared drew her up, his touch tender against her palm.In a swift move, he pulled Nicole into his arms, his other hand circling her waist to pull her close.As Jared looked at Nicole, admiration shimmered in his eyes. "You look truly beautiful today," he remarked."Daddy, Mommy is beautiful every day," Lana chimed in, til
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. Lulu remembered her own wedding jitters.Nicole bit her lip, a hint of nerves showing. "I'm more excited than anything," she admitted.She had been looking forward to this day, ready to face the future with Jared with hope and joy."Just finished," the stylist announced, stepping back to adm
"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
