Nicole's calmness took Chloe aback, surprising her."Yeah, if you weren't the one who submitted the information, how did it get there? Did it submit itself?" Karen smirked, the resentment in her heart causing her to make things worse for both Miley and Chloe.In the context of registering their own company and getting treatment for a chronic illness, neither of these were issues in of themselves. However, they had chosen to enlist a fake doctor to help them with the registration process, and that was a different story altogether."Dad, I think there must've been some sort of misunderstanding between us. Can't we go through this together. After all, we can't just listen to one side of the story," Miley begged."Miley, are you saying that Nicole is framing both you and your daughter? I mean I don't even listen to the one-sided stories of others, so why should I listen to yours?" Karen sneered."Everyone, shut the f*ck up!" Damien shouted, startling Karen.Then, Karen shot back, "Wh
Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses who were stationed outside the operation theater heard the commotion and busted inside."She suddenly vomited blood and then fainted. Her vitals are stable, we might need a further examination to find out the cause...," Martin instructed from his deductions following the examination.As Martin had no proper equipment in his disposal, he had no choice but to diagnose her based on his experiences and leave the rest to the hospital for more accurate results."Okay," the doctor replied as he and his nurses rushed to push Chloe to the Emergency Room.Miley followed closely from behind, and the operation theater soon fell silent once more."Dad, what should we do with this person?" Karen asked, as she pointed at, 'Ghost Hand,' the imposter."Leave him to the police. We'll wait until Chloe wakes up before we proceed with anything else." Mr. Riddle Sr. sighed.Dillion knew that it was useless to refute, instead he soothed Mr. Riddle Sr., "Why don't you
"How can we allow her to weasel her way out of this so easily, Miss Riddle? Especially now that we have compiled so much evidence to use against her...," Patricia complained with a frown on her face.'Perhaps she wouldn't have to explain herself if she never regained consciousness,' Patricia thought.After a moment of consideration, Nicole furrowed her brows. "I think she's doing this to stall for some time for herself."'What else could she hope to do? Her fake doctor was caught red handed, and the investigation has been handed over to the police. Everyone knows about the registration of her company now, so what more does she think she could do?'Noticing that Nicole was deep in thought, Martin asked, "What are you thinking about?"Nicole shook her head. "It's nothing."She did not want to trouble Martin anymore as he had been of great help in today's affairs.And as Martin noticed that Nicole was unwilling to share, he decided to leave it and stop pressing her with more questi
It was common knowledge that the collaboration was definitely going to happen, but it left her questioning if there really was a need for a ribbon-cutting ceremony."Should we attend?" Patricia hesitantly asked.It was evident that Nicole disliked attending such events, but since Harvey had already spread the news and invited a multitude of business magnates from all over San Joto, they had no choice but to go."Let's go," Nicole's gaze darkened slightly.At this point, they had little choice but to show up."Then I'll get ready," Patricia replied.Nicole nodded in agreement, and then, Patricia strode out of the office.Leaning back against his chair, Nicole looked at the documents Harvey had sent her as she became lost in thought.Soon after, night fell, and the city lights began to glow.As usual, everyone in the Riddle residence gathered together for dinner at the dining hall.Everyone had already heard about Chloe's situation, but they were neither worried nor curious abo
Besides, taking Nolan and Lana out to play was better than going on a blind date, at least to him.Gloria hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, "Fine, Ms. Jean loves children too. Taking Nolan and Lana with you might offer you some common topics."Stanley's smile immediately froze, as he began feeling that something was off."Then it's settled. Take us with you tomorrow, Uncle Stanley!" Lana instantly grinned in satisfaction.Her task was done, and all they had to do was to watch things unfold tomorrow. Meanwhile, Nicole chuckled as she watched her kids exchanging smiles. She could tell that Nolan and Lana were planning to disrupt Stanley's blind dates."Mommy, I'm tired. Let's go upstairs and get some sleep." Lana tugged on Nicole's shirt.She intended to sleep now so they could wake up early the next day."Okay." Nicole stroked Lana's hair and went upstairs with both Nolan and Lana in tow.Stanley had a complicated frown on his face. All of a sudden, he began to
"But, will Stanley be okay by himself?" Gloria frowned, thinking that Nicole would follow them around to keep the kids under control at least."He should be fine," Nicole reassured Gloria. "Nolan and Lana are quite well-behaved."Gloria acknowledged this, but she was still worried that things would go south if Nolan and Lana did not like the girl they were meeting for the blind date."It's okay. If it doesn't work out, it's probably just not meant to be," Daniel comforted Gloria, understanding her concerns.Gloria sighed and nodded her head, realizing that all she could do was respect their wishes for the time being.Meanwhile, Stanley had arrived at the designated cafe with Nolan and Lana. However, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Tia looking around at the cafe entrance.'Why is she here?' he wondered.Tia's face lit up with joy when she finally saw Nolan and Lana. However, her smile instantly froze when she saw Stanley.'Mr. Riddle?' She stood, petrified."Tia!" Lana
"Stanley raised his brow a little upon hearing that. "Do you go on blind dates a lot?""Yeah, I have no choice. My family just gets anxious. It's like, if I don't get married now, I'll never get married," Cherry said in defeat."Don't you object to any of it?" Stanley asked, surprised. 'So she just allows her family to arrange dates for her?'Cherry looked at Stanley for a while and smiled. "Well, what would come out of it? I'll just end up like you, Mr. Riddle."They were obligated to come even if they did not want to.Stanley was taken aback for a moment, but in a moment considered rare for a situation like this, he smiled. "Touché."That was what came of their resistance."Mr. Riddle, you haven't been on many blind dates, have you?" Cherry looked at Stanley, her eyes brimming with curiosity."Four times. Is that a lot or a little?" Stanley admitted."Not bad. That's still fewer than me, at least." Cherry laughed.It was rare that the two of them got along well, so they cha
"Well then, just call me Cherry too," Cherry happily agreed.Soon, the group left the cafe and headed to the amusement park.In the car, Tia was sandwiched between Nolan and Lana at the back, while Cherry took the passenger seat.Nolan and Lana both exchanged glances, feeling increasingly anxious as they were sensing that this person was about to become their third uncle's wife. Although they did not dislike Cherry, they still preferred Tia over her."Nolan, what should we do?" Lana asked Nolan softly."Go with the flow," Nolan whispered to Lana.Curious, Tia looked at the muttering kids. "What are you talking about?""It's nothing." Nolan and Lana smiled.This was something they could certainly not tell Tia.Meanwhile, Cherry chattered all the way to the park from the front seat. "I haven't been in one of these places for so long. It was fine when I was abroad, but after I came back, my family was strict with me. They wanted a refined lady. You know, someone who is elegant an
