Chapter 2896

Author: Summer
Soon, a group of bloodied and battered operatives descended from the ridge, carrying with them a bunch of men whose hands and feet were bound with iron leashes. The latter were none other than Damien and his contacts.

"Cap, will they be fine?" someone asked in concern.

"They will be," another replied firmly, though his words sounded as if they were said in an effort to reassure oneself.

It was an accident, one that they could never have anticipated. They, too, were praying that an ill-fate did not await them.

Nicole and Jared soon received the news, causing the air in the office to become even gloomier and more suffocating.

"You can relax a little now that we've captured them. You guys should leave and get on with your day," Nicole said to the others.

"Okay, but you should check on them in the hospital." The others nodded, knowing that there was much to be done without them getting in the way.

"I'm coming with you," Lulu said, standing up.

Nicole turned to Lulu and nodded. Afte

    After gaining a complete grasp of the dynamic between the two operatives, Nicole raised her brows and asked, "So you've decided to let Patricia go because of Charlie?"Looking at Nicole, Jared said meaningfully, "Charlie was the one who relieved Patricia of her duties, but he didn't do it because of Ellar."Nicole bit her lips and tilted her head. "So Charlie doesn't approve of Ellar?""That's a possibility," Jared said, indifferent to the personal lives of others as always.Whatever the case was, Charlie was not the sort of person who would approve of anyone dating his sister.Looking at the door to the operating theater, Nicole mumbled, "I hope Charlie will get through this."If Charlie ended up crippled or worse, dead, it would be a double whammy for Patricia. Even after a long wait, during which Patricia was done treating her wounds, Charlie's rescue was still ongoing."Is he not out yet?" Lulu asked, after which she turned to look at Patricia, who was pale and disheveled. "

    "Thank you," Patricia nodded.She knew Nicole was now privy to their relationship, while Lulu was not. In fact, Lulu had promised her that she would take care of Charlie because she wanted Patricia to rest easy."Oh, don't mention it. Now, go ahead and get some rest," Lulu urged.Once Patricia had walked off and disappeared into her ward, Lulu sighed. "She's pretty damn stubborn, isn't she?""Lulu, are you sure you can stay back? We still have a few loose ends to tie up," Nicole asked."Oh, yeah, sure." Lulu promised. "Go ahead. I'll be here. You don't need to worry about me."Nicole and Jared nodded and left the building, not in the least worried about Lulu being there with Charlie and Patricia. She was more than capable of taking care of herself anyway.After the couple had stepped out of the foyer, they noticed that Max had already arrived, so they got into the car right away."Mr. and Mrs. Johnston?" Max called out. "Things turned out exactly like what Zane had discovered.

    Max paused for a moment before hazarding a guess. "By that, you mean they might continue contacting Lawrence?""Even if they are not doing so, we must still keep an eye on Lawrence," Nicole said, though her attention was more focused on the Water Crest itself rather than Lawrence."Yes, I will." Max nodded in acknowledgment.Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, dusk arrived. The good news of the day had finally arrived too: Charlie had finally regained his consciousness in the hospital.Lulu proceeded to call Patricia, who rushed over and knelt before Charlie, her eyes wet with tears. "You shouldn't have saved me! What should I do if something happens to you?""Oh you silly girl," Charlie forced a smile, not regretting what he had done, for he was ready to give his life to ensure her safety."Erm, I-I'll go buy you guys dinner," Lulu informed and left the room in a hurry, as she could not stomach the awkwardness there.Once outside, Lulu began to frown in confusion. She could

    It was Ellar, who had witnessed everything that had happened in the ward.With his heart crumbling in his chest, he asked himself. 'Why is Patricia so hard up about taking care of Charlie? Are they just colleagues? Or...?'A maelstrom of emotions began engulfing Ellar's heart, but he could not bear to leave. He had gotten wind of Patricia's injuries, which she had sustained while she was out on her mission, and that was he had come over.With that, Ellar continued to stay there, waiting for her until she got up to leave the ward Charlie was in.The moment she stepped out of the ward, her eyes widened in shock. "Why are you here?""I heard you got injured, so I'm here to pay you a visit," Ellar said, trying to maintain his composure.He did not want to talk to her about what he had just witnessed, no matter how strong and intrusive his impulses were. In fact, he was trying to hold it all in as his heart was withering from within.Biting her lips, Patricia barked, "I'm fine. You s

    Patricia frowned, having a hunch that Ellar was not being truthful about what he had really said moments ago. However, she did not push it as she did not want to talk about it."Go home now, will you!? I'm going to sleep. The doctor told me I needed my rest," she said in a bid to shoo him away."Oh yes. You shall rest. I'll just be here to accompany you. If anything happens, I'll take care of you," Ellar said.He then sat down, hinting at Patricia to go to sleep while he watched her.Patricia's lips began to twitch in irritation. There was no way she could fall asleep with him here watching her like a prison warden. Patricia figured that Ellar must have stuck around on purpose, as she really did not need anyone to look after her while she was sleeping.Meanwhile, Ellar continued sitting by the bedside, frowning as he noticed that Patricia was still awake. "You said you needed rest, but why aren't you sleeping?"Those words made Patricia fume. 'Don't play dumb, Captain Obvious. Go

    "Stay down and don't move around," Nicole sternly said, stopping Charlie before he could get up..Dismayed by the fact that Charlie was trying to move around, Patricia reprimanded, "Don't simply move around. Have you forgotten the stab wound in your abdomen?"Nicole and Jared could not blame him, however. If he had torn the stitch in his wound and ruptured the incision, it would just cause them to break out in a panic over his condition."I'm fine, it's just..." Charlie paused and hesitated after noticing Ellar was there too."You're going to ask us about Damien and Scorpio, aren't you?" Nicole said, having called Charlie's intentions right from the start.Knowing that he need not conceal the details of this subject from Ellar anymore, he raised his head and replied, "Yes. Has everything been settled?""Max has settled it. Just take care of yourself now. Don't worry about anything," Nicole said.At present, Charlie's recovery was priority number one."Understood," Charlie nodde

    The lingering variable was that Scorpio might not place his complete trust in their operative, so now was not a good time for them to liaise with their men. Currently, all they had was a bead on Scorpio's movements and current whereabouts. There were many preparations that were yet to be made in advance.Nicole nodded in agreement to their analysis. "Scorpio knows Charlie is in the hospital. There's a huge possibility that he'll send someone over to finish the job. We should keep our wits about us.""I will arrange it. Don't worry," Max said.They had to do this not just for Charlie's safety, but for Patricia's as well."Okay," Nicole replied in acknowledgment before turning to Jared. "Zane has already taken care of Valo, and Scorpio has just escaped. There should be no further activity for the next few days."Jared then turned to Max and ordered, "Get someone to track him.""Yes," Max responded.Raising an eyebrow, Nicole smiled. "That's not a bad idea."At this point, Scorpio

    On an unknown island somеwhеrе abroad, and within a mansion by the beach, Everett's face turned ashen and pale upon receiving the nеws about everything that had happened in San Joto."How did he get himself busted? Aren't you all supposed to be competent enough to do your jobs? Why the hell did you fail?" Everett bellowed, his fury reaching its peak."Slow down there. I haven't gotten to the part where you were to blame. His greed was what got us all into this predicament in the first place, and you know what's the cherry on top? He got Valo busted. Fortunately, Scorpio managed to escape. Otherwise, all of my men would have perished in San Joto," a man in a black half-mask retorted."He just wanted to eliminate Nicole, which would have benefited you too. Now you're trying to pin all the blame on him? It's not like you weren't going to do the same!" Everett shot back, his teeth gritted in indignance.To Everett, those men had clearly failed to use their brains while they were on 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
