Chapter 815

Author: Summer
Daniel glanced at Sean. "We will figure it out ourselves."

Sean, who was hopeful a moment ago, was instantly dejected upon hearing what Daniel said.

Nicole looked at the despondent two and asked, "Dad, is there something happening to the company?"

Daniel glanced at Nicole and sighed, "Alas."

"Don't sigh, Dad. Tell me what happened. Let's figure it out together." Nicole was distressed to find his father, who had always been smiling, looking so tired today.

Knowing that Daniel was too embarrassed to ask, Sean said, "The Riddle family is now bidding on a project of an international company.

"The size of the project is so large that it is difficult to manage without enough capital, and the Riddle family's financial standing is still not adequate. But it is not completely impossible.

"The only problem is the Riddle family has a fifty-fifty chance of winning the project on its own. Besides, there are a lot of companies out there that are eyeing this project.

"Whoever wins this projec

    Nicole suddenly thought of the project Sean had just mentioned. "Isn't the McCarthy Corporation also bidding? Maybe I can find something useful for Sean here."Her fair fingers swiftly typed on the keyboard. "Not this. Not this, either.""The records of the McCarthy Corporation are a mess; they are all over the place." All Nicole searched frustratedly. She told herself to be patient and searched again, then an encrypted file popped up in front of her eyes."This file is encrypted. It must be a very important document." Nicole pondered for half a second and decided to crack the encryption.Sure enough, it was a half-completed draft tender document. "Could this be the project Sean was talking about?"She picked up her phone and called Sean. It rang for a while before he picked up."Hello, Nicole?" Sean's voice came from the earpiece."The project you just talked about, which company is it, and what is its name?" Nicole wanted to check if it was a company."Aegis Corporation. Why

    Sean hesitantly took the USB stick and looked at Daniel."Okay, I'll check it out." With that, Sean left."Be careful and drive safe," Gloria said with concern."Got it.""What's the McCarthy Corporation information in the USB stick all about?" Daniel asked after Sean left."Nothing special. Just a usual background check." Nicole could not explain it too clearly."Don't do anything illegal." Daniel reminded her."Don't worry, Dad.""By the way, Mom, your birthday is coming up in just a few days, right?" Nicole suddenly remembered that Gloria's birthday fell this month.Daniel came to his senses and said, "Oh yeah. If it weren't for Nicole, I would have forgotten." Daniel immediately flipped through the calendar. "My memory failed me. It turns out that this Saturday is your mom's birthday. How would you like to spend your birthday this year, Gloria?""As in previous years, our family will spend two days together." Gloria did not have any special plan. Her greatest happiness wa

    Seeing Nicole's face, the noisy classroom became instantly quiet."Class is about to start. Everyone go back to your seats." All of them sat down neatly and orderly at hearing Nicole's words, waiting for the bell to ring.Ms. Emerson walked into the classroom as usual. "Why is everyone so quiet?"Everyone was already sitting in their seats, on their best behavior.While Ms. Emerson was still wondering, she saw Nicole the next second and understood instantly. "Welcome back, Nicole.""Thank you."Ms. Emerson smiled at Nicole and then stepped onto the podium. "Before the lesson starts, I'll first talk about something else.""While Nicole was not here, the assistant class monitor and the committee members didn't play a good leading role. Now our training is lagging behind other classes." Ms. Emerson narrated with a disappointed look on her face."Now that Nicole has returned, all students are to obey and cooperate with Nicole's arrangements unconditionally. You all have to strive t

    "Is no one among you, all big men, useful?" Nicole's eyes glowed with coldness as she scanned everyone under the podium."That's not quite right, Nicole. I didn't say anything," said Gary."You'd better not.""May I ask when we will start training?" Jack asked timidly in a whisper."Starting from the next session." Nicole glanced at her watch."Next session? Isn't the next session PE class?""I've talked to the PE teacher; he is very supportive of our class.""There goes the PE class.""You guys have five minutes to rest. After five minutes, whoever signed up for the sports day must assemble at the sports field." Nicole looked fearlessly at them."Make the best of these five minutes." With that, Nicole left the classroom.Backchat started in the classroom as soon as Nicole left."What can we do about this? She is killing us all.""Nicole is so barbarous. Probably she just wants to show us who is the boss." A classmate stood up and condemned Nicole."Exactly. Why didn't I s

    "All of you, run." Gary ran in front of the team and led everyone to run in circles around the sports field.The others saw Gary had taken the lead and ran, and they secretly groused. They did not dare to say anything but could only follow closely at the rear of the team."High jump, long jump, triple jump, step out of the line. You go to the other side and train. Those who have signed up for the relay race practice relay running around the sports field. Your speed must exceed half a lap of the 100-meter team. Shot put and discus throw, do push-ups in place, a set of thirty reps, five sets to start with."Participants of all regular games have been assigned into groups. I will train with you all and hope that everyone can monitor each other. If you find anyone slacking, tell me, and you will be rewarded. Now, let's get moving." With that, Nicole glanced at Gary's 100-meter training."Gary, haven't you eaten? Run faster."Gary heard Nicole's taunts and gradually picked up speed."

    "It's the time of the month. My stomach hurts so much. I'm afraid I can't continue." Vivian made a pained expression as she spoke.Several others immediately echoed. Nicole looked at their bad acting and sneered."You all seem really in pain. I have an idea. I have studied acupuncture, and I have a unique set of skills to relieve menstrual pain. A few needles will do the trick." Nicole suddenly took a box of shiny silver needles out of nowhere.These female classmates gasped in fear at seeing the needles and looked at Vivian.Vivian gritted her teeth. She looked at Nicole and then sat up reluctantly. "It's okay. We're much better now and can continue training again.""You all do look better now. But don't force yourself to train if the cramp still lingers. I have really learned acupuncture." Nicole looked at her classmates with concern.Vivian immediately got to her feet and did some stretches. "My stomach doesn't seem to hurt anymore. So let's keep training."Nicole looked at t

    No one dared to speak."Why does no one speak? Or do you all want me to do the roll call? Vivian, Tony, Caleb..." Nicole mentioned several names in a row, getting no response."Very good. There are already people skipping the training right after the morning session. As I said before, if there is a single person absent, everyone will be punished.""Don't do it, please." Someone in the group wailed."Blame those who didn't come.""A few of you go to the sports room to look for Mr. Antolovic and take some sandbags and other weight-bearing gear."After a while, they returned with the gear."Everybody, tie a sandbag on your body and run circling the sports field." This time, Nicole led the group in front. After ten laps, some people began to fall behind."Keep going. There are only nine more laps left." This was actually another form of training in the disguise of punishment."Huh? Nine more laps?"By the last few laps, some people really could not keep on and lay on the sports f

    "What do you know? Boss sweats a lot by nature.""Gary, is this what you have got? If you are not going faster, I will." With that, Nicole shot out like an arrow and left Gary in the dust in just a few seconds.Gary was stupefied, wondering if this was still the same Nicole he knew."Did you see? I told you Nicole was holding back.""Go, Nicole." Gradually, someone in the group shouted Nicole's name.Soon Nicole finished two laps. She looked on and gave Gary a gesture of encouragement as Gary still had half a lap to go.Finally, Gary also crossed the finishing line, followed by the other classmates. They had all completed serving the punishment. Nicole waited for Gary to catch his breath before speaking. "It is time to deliver on your promise, Gary.""Sure. Jack, you and Wayne give everyone a leg massage.""Did I hear you correctly, Boss? You want us to give many people a leg massage?" Jack and Wayne looked at Gary, dumbfounded."Yes, is there any problem?" Gary stared at 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.

    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
