"Do you think Mr. Ellison would be in trouble if Harvey comes to his senses?" After all, Nicole did cause Harvey to be suspicious of her recent visits."There won't be any trouble. Mr. Ellison doesn't have anything left that's worth it to Harvey." No matter how insane Harvey was, he would not kill his biological grandfather."Actually, I just feel like Mr. Ellison doesn't deserve all this."Mr. Ellison was extremely kind to Harvey. Who would expect Harvey to hide such resentment towards him?Jared comforted Nicole. "Mr. Ellison leaves Harvey alone because of the guilt he feels for what happened last time.""And it was because of this that Mr. Ellison pent up a lot of things and fell sick," Nicole said sadly. "If Mr. Ellison refuses to recover on his own, he'd only get weaker.""This is up to Mr. Ellison himself." Jared's eyes darkened. 'If Mr. Ellison never forgives himself, no one can help him.'"We should visit him more often." Perhaps, it would be helpful if they could lighte
As the sun set, Nicole and Lulu stepped out of DillCorp together.Lulu looked around and muttered, "Why hasn't June come yet?""You're just excited to try on your wedding dress, right?" Nicole teased.Lulu began to blush and replied shyly, "I'm not the only one who's trying out the dresses.""Calm down. She's here." As soon as she finished speaking, Nicole smiled and waved at June, who was approaching them."Sorry, I'm late," June explained, standing in front of the two girls. "The traffic was quite bad on the way here.""Don't worry. We just came out as well." Nicole smiled. "Let's go! Don't make them wait for you."June and Lulu replied, "Let's go!"The girls got into the car and headed to the styling room which they had chosen.They had decided on that styling room a while back. Since their wedding dresses had arrived that day, the girls set a date to try it out together.When they arrived, Spencer was already there, waiting for them. The only person missing was Samuel."
Nicole could tell that Lulu was still bothered by the matter. That was why Lulu talked about cherishing the present moment. Perhaps, Lulu felt that if she really could defend herself from slander, she would not be able to complete the wedding with Spencer."How is it? Are you guys done?" Samuel's voice sounded from outside.June and Lulu looked at each other and said, "Let's go outside.""June? Where—" Samuel called out to June again when he did not get a response. However, the moment he saw June walk out, he stopped talking.Looking at June, who was holding up her dress and slowly walking towards him, Samuel's eyes became focused, and he could not look away.June started to grow shy from Samuel's gaze. She could not help but blush. "Don't just stare at me. Is this dress okay?"Samuel came back to his senses and nodded vigorously. "Fine. Perfectly fine."It looked really good and was a good fit for June.In turn, Spencer stared at Lulu. With a wide smile, he said, "It's very pr
Spencer still insisted on keeping things to himself. Just as he was about to say something, he held himself back. He hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "It's Icyln. She said that she has feelings for me, but I've rejected her."Spencer did not expect Icyln to pretend as if nothing had happened even after his rejection. She still called him on the phone as usual. In fact, her calls were getting more and more frequent.Nicole narrowed her gaze and questioned, "Spencer, do you really want Icyln to stay at San Joto?""Uh... I actually don't want her here." However, it was not up to Spencer to decide whether she could stay or leave.Initially, he was fine with taking care of Icyln upon his teacher's request. Now that he understood Icyln's intentions, he would not want Icyln to stay. Or else, she might create more trouble in the future."That's good." Nicole seemed satisfied."What?" Spencer asked in confusion. He did not understand what Nicole meant.After giving it some t
June smirked. "I dare you not to eat anything later.""You haven't even entered the family, and you're already safeguarding Samuel's wallet!""Don't forget, we're both entering the same family. The Riddle family."As the two girls joked around, they did not seem to be that hungry anymore. The time seemed to pass by really slowly as well.After a while, dinner was served. Just as they were about to dig in, a shadow appeared beside their table. In fact, the shadow covered the entire table.Nicole frowned and looked up. Seeing that it was Harvey, her eyes darkened."What a coincidence! You're having dinner here as well." Harvey smiled."I don't think so." Nicole's eyes were cold and distant."Exactly. Don't you see that there's a lot of us here? Nicole isn't alone," Lulu said fiercely.Harvey glanced at Lulu angrily. Then, he softened his gaze as he turned to look at Nicole. His voice was also gentler as he said, "I'm not eating either. I'll join you.""No way," their voices sou
After finishing their dinner, Nicole and the others walked out of the restaurant."Nicole, come with me. I'll go home with you after dropping June off.""You can come with us too if you want."Just as Samuel spoke, Lulu's voice rang out too. However, both of them stopped talking as soon as they saw Jared.Nicole was a little surprised by Jared's unexpected appearance. "Why are you here?""To pick you up," Jared said. He wrapped his arm around Nicole's skinny waist and led her toward his car.June and Lulu exchanged glances after watching the two of them leave. They could not help but say, "Well, I guess we don't have to worry about her anymore.""Let's go."Knowing that Nicole was going to leave with Jared, everyone stopped worrying about her. Then, Samuel and Spencer left with June and Lulu respectively.In the car, Nicole leaned on the seat and smiled faintly. "Actually, I could've gone home myself.""What's wrong with me picking you up?" Jared asked her back."It feels...
Nicole did not even have breakfast and headed straight to the office.She grabbed some coffee and a small pastry on her way there and entered her office while carrying the bag."What took you so long? You came to work so late, and you haven't even had breakfast." Lulu pushed the door open and peeked in with a teasing smile.Nicole shot her a glance. "It seems like Spencer didn't come home last night."Lulu's face immediately turned red as she said shyly, "I sprained my ankle on my way home last night, so he didn't want to leave me alone and stayed with me.""Sure." Nicole shrugged as if it was none of her business.Lulu felt her cheeks getting warmer as she continued to explain, "Trust me! Have a look at it yourself."She entered the room as she spoke. She showed Nicole that she indeed could not walk properly.Nicole could not help but laugh. "Why do you want to explain it to me so badly? At this point, it's perfectly normal for Spencer not to come home.""But that's not the c
They did their work respectively and it was already lunchtime before they realized it.After having lunch, the head of the Legal Department returned as Nicole and Lulu were taking a break from work."Ms. Riddle, it's been taken care of." Lester Jensen heaved a sigh of relief."Good." Nicole seemed satisfied. "Thank you so much. We'll leave the rest to Ms. Wyatt.""I'll let her know about it," Lester said, nodding.Nicole paused momentarily before saying, "That'll do too."She had initially planned for her secretary to convey the message but having Lester do it would be fine too."I'll take my leave then." Jensen turned around and left after not receiving any more orders. His mission was completed, and it was up to the Public Relations Department. He believed that Ms. Wyatt would handle it very well."What did Mr. Jensen take care of?" Lulu asked curiously. She knew that it must be related to her."Snow's assistant contacted the siblings again. She wanted the sister to pretend
