All of a sudden, Harvey's eyes glinted with hatred. It was the hatred of being unable to kill him. He flung the man back onto the metal bed.His face was hidden in the shadows, so the constant changes in his expressions could not be seen clearly.He started chuckling; it sounded refined and pleasant. However, when it fell into the ears of the man, it sounded like the whisper of a devil.He covered his ears in fear. It was as though their exchange just now had used up his lifetime's worth of courage.Harvey turned around. Under the sunlight, his face seemed gentle and handsome. He was like the graceful son from a noble family, which seemed a little out of tune with this filthy place.Harvey turned around and left the ward. As he left, the door was secured with a heavy lock.He said gently, "I'll visit you again."The man behind the door trembled in fear upon hearing his words. A look of panic appeared on his face.He then curled up into a ball. His eyes were filled with pain.I
He had only speculated that from Rowan's words yesterday, and now he wanted to get a clear answer from Nicole.Nicole responded with a faint "Mhmm." There was no need for her to hide anything from these people.A look of 'I knew it' appeared on Victor's face as he looked at her, the reverence in his eye was unmissable.Her excellence caused a little doubt to appear in him. 'Is this person a medical researcher from the HQ? Otherwise, how is she so talented, so much so that even Rowan respects her a lot.'However, he dared not probe too much. After the injection, he softly asked, "By some chance, you know the production methods of B0-2?"The folks from Team B have gotten a newly developed special drug from HQ and had started various studies, yet there were no results insofar.Nicole glanced at him and said with a very flat tone, "I do. If you want to learn, I can teach you."Victor's eyes widened as a touch of joy appeared on his face.He then felt a little remorseful for trying
However, since the day she left the hospital, neither her parents nor her brothers contacted her at all.'They really forgot about me after getting to know their real sister!'The more she thought about it, the more bitter she got. Norah really wished she could make Nicole disappear!However, Nicole had not come to school for the past two days. Even when she wanted to find someone to deal with Nicole, she could not.So, she could only talk behind Nicole's back with Snow and Raine.At this moment, the three of them were in the cafeteria having a meal together, and Norah was chattering about Nicole.Snow finally could not bear it."Can you shut up for a bit?" She had had enough, and she really did not want to hear Nicole's name.Norah was taken aback. 'Didn't Snow and Raine hate Nicole the most? What's happening?'However, seeing Snow's rather odd mood, she quickly pretended. "What's the matter, Snow? The reason I'm doing this is that you're upset as well, no? Nicole had gone to
As the three Riddle family girls were discussing how to deal with Nicole, Chloe, who had returned to the country, was racking her brain trying to find a way to contact Nachelle and get her character back.After all of her ideas ran into a wall, she could only give her grandmother a call. After all, the branch family of the Rogers family was still capable.The call quickly connected as Chloe said, "Grandma, it's me, Chloe.""You must have heard about that matter, and Nachelle Holder seemed to have some misunderstanding. Can you find an opportunity so that I can have a meal with her?"When her grandmother heard that, she immediately agreed.Chloe's expression immediately turned brighter as her face became bright and beautiful as she said, "I know you love me the most, Grandma. I'll come over to visit you in two days!"Finally, something went her way, and Chloe finally found the courage to go on Twitter to have a look.She originally thought that what happened at Nottingbrook would
The person was terrified by his imposing presence and could only manage a "Wait." before running back into the manor to inform Damien and the others.A few minutes later, Damien and Dexter appeared at the gate of the Riddle family manor, and when they saw the scene at the gate, they too were flabbergasted.They have never seen such a high-level military unit before!Damien still managed to calmly ask Nicole. "These people are..."He, too, wanted to use this opportunity to get to know some people from the military.Nicole ignored him, her expression cold. "You want to let grandpa catch a cold outside?"As she said that, she ignored Damien's expression as she motioned to the few special forces behind her, and very quickly, Mr. Riddle Sr. was escorted into the house.No one dared to stop her.From behind, Nicole and the special force's pace and demeanor were almost alike.Seeing him being ignored, Damien was so angry his chest heaved, but he quickly recomposed himself as he took
Karen wanted to say something, but seeing the powerful-looking soldiers behind Nicole, she said nothing as she hid in her room in a panic and called Dillon."That Nicole seemed to have really cured the old man! Damn it all!"Dillon was lying on the executive chair in the office doing nothing and almost jumped up in shock as he heard that. "What did you say?"Karen immediately told Dillon what she saw, and after hearing that, Dillon's heart was beating wildly as he grabbed his coat and rushed home.'How could that be?''That Nicole actually managed to cure the old man even when the best surgeons in San Joto only have a fifty percent assurance. Who did she call?'Along the way, countless thoughts appeared in Dillon's head. He suddenly remembered the people who took Mr. Riddle Sr. away. That mixed-blooded doctor did not look like some pushover, but Nicole said that they were actors she hired.'Could it be that Nicole was lying to me?'After realizing it, Dillon was flushed red as
The leading special force soldier could only ask respectfully. "Miss Riddle, is there anything else that you need?"Nicole shook her head. Seeing that, the soldiers immediately snapped into a salute as he spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Second squad mission complete. Withdraw!"The soldiers left the room in huge strides when they saw Damien standing outside the room. The few of them stopped and looked at him for a few seconds before letting out a solemn smile."Mr. Riddle, please take good care of Miss Riddle. If we find out that anyone dares to bully her. We will definitely pay San Joto a visit."At this moment, Damien's expression got even more serious.He had originally thought that they were just acquaintances. He did not expect those people to be so protective of her.He really started to wonder who this Nicole was who came back from the countryside.At the same moment, the few special forces saluted Daniel and Gloria before leaving.Seeing that Daniel and his wife were bei
Mr. Riddle Sr., who had been lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and saw the anxious Damien by his side. He stretched his hand out and patted the latter's hand to comfort him. After that, his gaze trailed away, seemingly looking for something.He then saw Daniel standing behind Mr. Riddle. Sr, with the ventilation tubes on his face, let out a faint smile.He waved at Daniel as if trying to beckon this silent son over.Daniel was taken aback and walked over with some hesitation.Mr. Riddle Sr. had never liked him much. He thought that his father would have preferred to see Damien first, so he did not rush forward.When Damien saw Mr. Riddle Sr. grasping Daniel's hand with a look of relief in his eyes, an imperceptible cold glint appeared in his eyes.'This was a mistake in the choice I made. Otherwise, Daniel would not have gotten this advantage!'As he thought of this, Damien seemingly stared daggers at Daniel.Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Daniel, the son he had somewhat negle
"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
