Chapter 2475

Author: Summer
'Is Lawrence the key to all this? Does he know something?' Jared thought.

Meanwhile, Nicole strode into DillCorp's CEO's office, and when she arrived, she looked around the refurbished room with a satisfied smile.

"Nicole, you made it!" Lulu exclaimed, entering the room with several people in tow, each holding a folder.

"Ms. Riddle," they greeted with a nod, and lined up before her.

Nicole took her seat, briefly met their eyes, and began, "Fill me in."

"Due to poor management, DillCorp has gotten itself embroiled in financial troubles, making it hard for it to achieve significant progress soon," one of them stated.

"We've noticed discrepancies in our accounts and are looking into them."

"I also believe we should reconsider the employment of some of our staff. Some might not fit into our vision."

Hearing the reports, Nicole massaged her temples. She knew DillCorp had its share of issues, but she had not realized the extent of them.

Taking a deep breath, Nicole replied, "I get i

    "I'll make sure he backs off," Nicole said, her eyes showing determination. "With DillCorp now under my control, everyone will know not to mess with it.""Do you think he'll actually back down? He's not one to give up easily," Lulu said, concerned."We'll see if Everett's got what it takes," Nicole replied coolly. "I'd love to see him try to pull anything off without my say-so." She then looked intently at Lulu. "Tell everyone to keep things under wraps. We can't let any company secrets leak out."Lulu nodded in understanding. "Got it," she replied. She had also thought about telling everyone to stay quiet and maybe even spreading a few fake stories.Seeing Lulu's sly smile, Nicole chuckled and shook her head. 'Lulu's getting cleverer each day.'Once Lulu left, Nicole started reading a file in front of her.Over at NandoCorp's manager's office, Everett leaned back in his chair, looking annoyed. "You're sure Nicole's at DillCorp now?"His assistant nodded. "Yes, she went there fi

    "She sure has a lot of nerve, taking over DillCorp like that!" Damien's voice rose sharply."Well, Grandpa's aware, and Preston doesn't seem to care," Everett replied, sounding indifferent.Hearing this, Damien grew more irritated. "Doesn't anyone object? Have they all lost their minds?!"Everett lowered his head, silent for a moment. He knew Damien was just venting. 'If Grandpa doesn't oppose what's happening now, maybe he won't oppose my future actions either. Do others' opinions even matter? This might just work in my favor.'"No way, we can't let this go. Wasn't it Nicole who first brought up the idea of splitting up the company? And now she's simply taking over DillCorp?" Damien's face darkened. "If Dillon and his team didn't manage well, that doesn't mean Nicole should get it all. We all have a stake in this.""So, you're thinking of talking to Grandpa?" Everett asked casually.Damien took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. 'Is there any point in going to him? I mean, i

    "Alright, let's meet there after work," Nicole said."Sounds good. I'll tell Spencer he doesn't have to pick me up," Lulu replied. She then sent Spencer a quick message.Similarly, Nicole informed Jared she would be having pizza with June and Lulu after work and suggested he go home first."Alright, I need to get going. See you later," Lulu said.As she stood up and left Nicole's office, Nicole went back to her work.When it was time to leave, Nicole and Lulu left DillCorp, caught a cab, and headed to the Royal Creek Institute."You know, the three of us haven't hung out there in about five years," Lulu said. "After you went missing, Nicole, it was just June and me visiting from time to time.""It's hard to believe it's been five years." Nicole sighed. 'So much has changed, but at least we're still best friends.'When they arrived at the restaurant, June was already there, motioning for them to join her. "Come sit here!""You're early," Lulu said, guiding Nicole to sit down.

    "It's been five years, and you two haven't changed," Nicole said, smiling at the pair. "Even when you both become part of the family, I bet you'll still tease each other."Lulu started to say, "We're used to it. We've always been..." She paused, her eyes widening. "Nicole, do you remember now?""Just some stuff from school," Nicole said with a casual smile. Though she still struggled with gaps in her memory, recalling her school days was a hopeful sign."That's great!" June and Lulu exclaimed. Memories from school were a start, and they were hopeful more would return."Let's toast to Nicole's memory of school days!" June exclaimed, preparing the drinks. As the night went on, they chatted, ate, and felt the buzz from the drinks."One more round!" June declared, refilling her friends' glasses. But before they could even sip, someone swiftly took their glasses away.June reached out in the direction her glass had vanished, but caught nothing. "Hey! Give it back!" she exclaimed."Yo

    Nicole snuggled close to Jared, murmuring, "When people are happy, they drink more. And guess what? I'm starting to remember stuff from school."Jared looked at her. Lately, she had been remembering a lot from her childhood and her time at Royal Creek Institute. "What about that cafe?" Jared asked her softly, remembering it was from her school days."Cafe?" Nicole frowned and then shook her head. "I don't remember."Jared smiled affectionately at her. "Let's go home.""Mhm, home," Nicole replied, nestling her head on Jared's shoulder. She smiled in contentment.They soon returned to the Riddle family manor. Though everyone had gone to bed, the lights in the living room remained on, likely for those not yet home. As Jared carried Nicole inside, the butler, still up, was waiting for them."Mr. Johnston," the butler began, his gaze lingering on Nicole who seemed a bit unsteady. "Should I prepare something to help her sober up?""No need," Jared responded quickly. "She's a little ti

    Jared's gaze darkened, and his kiss became firmer and more aggressive.Meanwhile, June was all worn out after Samuel sent her back to her apartment.While pouring a glass of water, Samuel turned his head to find June already collapsed on the carpet, desperately crawling to get on the couch. She failed multiple times, always sliding back down to the ground.Putting the glass, Samuel went to June's side and helped her get onto the sofa.June then made a gagging noise. Her face turned an ugly shade and her cheeks puffed up."Hold up!" Samuel cried. He rushed to grab the trash can, but it was already too late.With a retching sound, June threw up. Her puke was everywhere—on the carpet, the couch, her clothes, and even on Samuel.Looking at the mess around him, Samuel fumed. "June, I swear I'll never let you drink again."Frustration aside, Samuel had no choice but to start cleaning up the mess.The next day, the sun shone brightly. Nicole arrived at the company, looking like she u

    "I'm meeting with a client nearby, around noon. The meeting should be quick. How about having lunch together?" Lawrence suggested, not noticing Nicole's change in demeanor.Nicole frowned and rejected, "I'm afraid not today. I have things to take care of. Maybe next time."Disappointed, Lawrence said, "Alright then, I'll ask you out another day.""Sure thing," Nicole agreed with a faint smile."Speaking of which, it's been a while since I last saw Nolan and Lana. Why don't we take them out for a day when they're free?" Lawrence tried.Nicole bit her lip and hesitated to refuse directly. So she replied, "I'll check with them first.""Fine by me. Let me know when you've set a date." Lawrence smiled, thinking Nicole was accepting his invitation."Yeah." Nicole faked a smile and remained silent. Her current feelings toward Lawrence were complicated, and she was unsure of how to approach Lawrence. She could only wait for the final results of the investigation. She did not even know w

    "Mr. Royce, should we let Hanwick leave?" Ian asked. After all, it was fake. Ian was afraid people might question if Hanwick continued to stay."Not now. We might still need him." Lawrence's gaze darkened. Nicole had yet to suspect anything, so he felt like keeping Hanwick around was still necessary."Yes, sir." Ian did not dare to interfere with Lawrence's decision."Tell Hanwick to lay low these days. I can't protect him if his identity is exposed." Determination flashed in Lawrence's eyes. If Hanwick's identity raised suspicions, Lawrence could not guarantee his safety as he had to protect himself."Got it," Ian replied.Lawrence's sight focused outside the car window, his deep gaze revealing nothing about his thoughts as the car slowly left DillCorp.The scorching afternoon sunlight made everyone feel drowsy.After lunch, Nicole leaned against the sofa resting. She was half asleep, unable to distinguish her dream and reality. There was a string of letters that kept appearing

    "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.

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.

    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
