Chapter 3019

Author: Summer
Benjamin realized Nicole had gathered everyone today because Everett had returned.

'These problems don't bother me anymore,' he thought, understanding that everyone needed to own up to their actions.

"Understood," Nicole replied.

"You guys can leave. I want some time alone," Benjamin told Nicole and Jared.

"Grandpa..." Nicole gazed at Benjamin, showing a bit of concern.

"No worries, go ahead," Benjamin reassured her with a wave of his hand.

Nicole hesitated, bit her lip, and then suggested, "I'll ask Alfred to bring up some tea."

Feeling uneasy about leaving Benjamin alone, she thought it would be good to have Alfred keep him company.

Jared patted Nicole's shoulder, "Come on, let's go."

As Nicole exited the study, Jared paused, facing Benjamin. "I'll look out for Nicole. She'll be safe with me."

Benjamin nodded approvingly. "Good, I trust you."

Jared left the study, his eyes showing determination. He sensed Benjamin was more concerned about Nicole.

After leaving the study,

    At the Riddle residence, Jared and Nicole put Nolan and Lana to bed before heading to their own room."You must be tired," Jared observed, seeing Nicole's slightly weary expression."It's okay, just a bit sudden," Nicole sighed."Let's rest for now," Jared suggested, softly stroking Nicole's hair.Nicole gave a faint smile, took a bath, and then lay down.Jared gently kissed her forehead, whispering, "Sleep now.""Aren't you sleeping?" Nicole asked, looking puzzled."I still have some work to finish, but I'll join you soon," Jared replied, patting Nicole's shoulder before sitting down at the desk.Nicole looked at Jared, feeling a warm comfort, and closed her eyes to sleep.The following day was sunny.After leaving Nicole at the Riddle Corporation, Jared told Max, "Drive.""Everett's at a hotel. Doesn't seem like he's house hunting," Max informed."Hmm, he won't stick around San Joto for long," said Jared, his expression darkening a bit. He thought to himself, 'Obviously,

    Everett knew he had to go back and take what was rightfully his. 'There's no way I will give up!' he thought to himself firmly."Mr. Wright, here are the documents you asked for," his assistant said upon entering, handing over a folder."Thanks," Everett replied, dismissing the assistant with a nod. "You can go now.""Yes, sir," the assistant complied and exited the room.Everett glanced through the papers and smirked coldly. "Impressive."Noticing the Riddle Corporation's growth in his absence, he thought, 'Too bad for Nicole, my comeback is set to stir up some trouble for her smooth ride. And those two Crests, I'll get my hands on them no matter what!'As the day ended and the sun set, Nicole and Lulu left the company.When the car arrived, they hopped in and went to Martin's lab.Lulu asked Nicole, "Martin said there's been progress, but I wonder how far they've got? Do you think they might have succeeded already?""We won't know until we try," Nicole replied, secretly hopi

    "Not much different," Patricia replied."Let's give it some more time," Martin suggested carefully.Even though Patricia didn't show any unusual reactions for now, they chose to keep an eye on her a bit longer to be sure."Sure, let's wait a bit," Ellar agreed, understanding that pain was just one part, and the medication's toxicity was even more important.Noticing Patricia seemed okay at the moment, Martin addressed Nicole, "Don't stress too much. We've tweaked the formula based on your suggestions. In theory, everything should be fine.""Yeah, and we've got contingency plans. Patricia will be safe," Cindy assured everyone.Nicole grinned at Cindy. "Thanks. You've been putting in a lot of effort lately." She understood that if Martin was occupied, Cindy wouldn't just sit back and do nothing."It's nothing," Cindy replied with a smile, "It's not hard.""If Patricia ends up okay, how about I take everyone out for dinner?" Lulu suggested, considering everyone's hard work and the

    "Don't mention it, it's just a dinner," Ellar said nonchalantly, urging everyone to eat.You could tell Ellar was genuinely excited, and his mood relaxed everyone else at the table."Then let me thank everyone," Patricia said, holding her glass of juice, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked around at the group.The others, also drinking juice instead of alcohol, raised their glasses with a smile, reassuring Patricia, "No need to thank us, just focus on your treatment. We believe you'll get better.""I will," Patricia nodded firmly, determined to cooperate regardless of the outcome.Then she turned to Ellar, her eyes sincere. "I still want to thank you."She knew Ellar had helped her a lot without her knowing. If she hadn't stumbled upon it by chance, she might never have found out.Ellar let out a simple, hearty laugh. "As long as you're happy."That was all that mattered to him.But after Ellar said that, his expression turned a bit sad. He looked away, prompting ever

    "What?" Patricia turned back, puzzled by his sudden call."If you feel not okay and hesitant to call me, just ring up Charlie instead," Ellar suggested, then hit the gas and drove away.Patricia stood there for a moment, mulling over his words. Without having promised to contact Ellar, he seemed to assume it could be inconvenient for her and recommended reaching out to Charlie instead.As Ellar's car disappeared into the distance, a hint of sadness flickered in Patricia's eyes. She thought, 'I can imagine how difficult it must have been for him to say that.'"He's gone. Come on, let's head back," Charlie's voice came from behind, making Patricia jump. She turned to him, asking, "When did you come down?""Just now," Charlie sighed, "Maybe you should think about leaving this job.""I don't want to retire," Patricia said, biting her lip.Charlie patted her shoulder, "Mr. Johnston has already agreed; this decision won't change.""But—"Patricia started to argue, only to be interru

    As Lulu departed, Nicole's gaze sharpened slightly. She was certain Everett's resurgence was more than just a strike against her. There were deeper layers to unravel.Lost in thought for a brief moment, Nicole then made a call to Preston. "I need a favor," she said succinctly."What's going on?" Preston's voice was edged with gravity."I need someone to shadow Everett. I want a detailed account of his activities," Nicole's tone was tinged with an icy resolve.There was a brief pause on the line before Preston responded, "Understood. I'll handle it.""Good, that's all for now," Nicole was ready to end the call, but then Preston chimed in, "You're holding up okay, right?"Nicole understood that Preston was already clued in about the current predicament. His tardiness in getting back to the Riddle family manor was due to other commitments. "I'm managing," she responded, her voice steady."Good to know," Preston replied, then added a reminder, "Remember, you can reach out to me for

    As Everett made his exit from Lawrence's office, Ian stepped in, his curiosity piqued."Mr. Royce, what's going on?" Ian asked, his eyes following Everett's retreating figure.Lawrence, displaying a flicker of irritation, explained, "It appears I've thrown a wrench in his schemes, much to his displeasure."Ian, taken aback, questioned, "So, he's operating on his own agenda?"Lawrence snorted derisively, "Did you ever think he's straightforward? A man who doesn't hesitate to plot against his own kin is anything but simple."Frowning slightly, Lawrence added, "Check what he's been up to."He had a feeling that Everett's visit was more about showing off than anything else."I'll get on it right away," Ian responded, quickly setting off to investigate.After a while, Ian returned and briefed Lawrence on the situation at Riddle Corporation."Keep an eye on him," Lawrence ordered, his expression growing darker. Everett's return was not going to be low-key, and Lawrence wasn't certai

    Nicole couldn't help but give Steve a playful eye roll. "What kind of brothers are you two?"Steve laughed heartily. "Well, it's not like you're an ordinary little sister.""Alright, we're off to a meeting," Sean said, his mood lightened a bit.After Sean and Steve left, Nicole took a deep breath and a warm smile on her lips. She wasn't going to be affected by the current situation, especially with her family's unwavering support.Returning to her desk, Nicole picked up some documents and got busy until it was time to leave."Nicole, let's go," Lulu called her."Okay," Nicole agreed, standing up from her desk.Together, they headed downstairs and out of the company, where the driver had already brought the car around.Once inside the car, Lulu asked, "I wonder how Patricia is doing?"They hadn't seen her in a few days and hoped for some improvement."Martin thinks there's been some improvement, so he asked me to come over and see if the medication needs adjusting," Nicole rep

    "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
