Chapter 979

Author: Summer
"Okay, but I'm looking forward to seeing you in the R&D group. Bye." Ike could see that Nicole did not want to have much interaction with him and could only leave discreetly, but he admired her.

After Ike left, Harvey came over to Nicole. "You know that guy?"

"Nope."

"How come he came over to talk to you if you don't know him?" Harvey shot a look toward where Ike had left.

"Is it any of your business who I talk to? Are you done chatting with them?" Nicole glanced at the bigwigs who were still networking in the venue.

"We have talked. I feel pretty good about it and should be able to get deals for Ellison Group." Harvey was happy with his performance just now.

Scott walked over to Nicole. "Miss Riddle, are you interested in this project?"

"Do you mean the manned flying car program?" Nicole looked at him with surprise, wondering why he had asked her that.

"Yes. I'm putting together an R&D team soon. If you have time, I hope you can join." Scott just wanted Nicole to feel involved

    "Miss Riddle, please." Ike gestured with his hand.Nicole shot a look at Harvey and then walked forward while Harvey and Ike followed closely behind.Inside Ike's car, Nicole was listening to music in the back. Harvey was sitting in the front passenger seat as Ike was driving the car off into the distance.After twenty minutes, the car stopped in front of an experience center. Nicole looked out of the car. "The Octopus Experience Center?""Yes, it's a gaming experience. I'm told it's a must-visit place," Ike said."Then let's check it out." Nicole took the lead. She got out of the car and headed inside, coming to the door and being stopped by the staff."Please show your number tag."Ike came up quickly. "Here it is."The staff checked the three number tags before letting them in."An experience center with a ticket check? It's not like it's a movie theater." Harvey complained."It is said that this place only accepts two hundred visitors a day, so it is entry by number only.

    "Maybe there will be a reminder at a certain point in time. There might be an answer on these stars," Nicole said.Ike and Harvey looked upward to study it carefully."Look, there's the Big Dipper in the Milky Way." Ike pointed with his finger."The answer should be in the Big Dipper," Nicole said with confidence. "As far as I know, ancient people determine the seasons according to the position of the seven stars of the Big Dipper with the bucket handle east pointing, indicating the arrival of spring, the bucket handle south pointing, the arrival of summer, the bucket handle west pointing, fall harvest, the bucket handle north pointing, all things hide in the winter. It is likely that this level was made using this theory because few people abroad know about it, and it is evident that the owner of this experience center is a local.""Makes sense. Let's study it." Harvey looked up with a serious face.The Milky Way disappeared all of a sudden, and the time compass reappeared. Ten m

    "Miss Riddle has a point. Some things just can't be seen, but that doesn't mean they don't exist." Ike agreed with what Nicole said."Feel the surrounding walls," Nicole said.The three split up and felt the walls. As the wall was also white, it was impossible to tell what was in the walls by just looking with the naked eye. So they could find clues by touching them.Nicole gently pressed the wall, and a layer of stairs appeared out of thin air in front of her. She stepped on it and pressed again at the top. Then there was another layer of stairs. She had found the pattern and continued doing it. Before long, she had reached a height of about one and a half floors.Meanwhile, Ike also found on his side the same stairs that Nicole had found."You're all up there. What can I do?" Harvey looked up at the two of them above."You keep looking for clues down there," Nicole said.Nicole reached up and came into contact with a square brick that sank in. She looked inside and saw a glowi

    "Ike, how many floors do you have over there?" Nicole asked."My side has eight floors.""Harvey, how many stone pillars do you have over there in total?""Fifteen.""Try 6815," Nicole said, looking at Harvey.Harvey keyed the numbers in and pressed, then the door lock opened with a click. "The door is open. Come on down."Harvey pushed open the door and walked out first while Nicole and Ike followed in tandem."This experience center is really kind of fun. I'm liking it here." Harvey suddenly got excited and walked in front eagerly.They had arrived at the third level, with paintball guns placed on both sides and a voice announcement ringing out all of a sudden. "Welcome to the third level, 'Shoot or Die.' Players need to wear protective equipment and carry weapons before entering."Nicole looked at the equipment and weaponry, skillfully put them on, and took up the weapon. She then looked at the two of them, who were struggling to put on the protective gear."You guys take

    "We've gone about ten meters. This is an indoor game; this place shouldn't be very large. I reckon the other side's base camp is another twenty meters or so up ahead." Nicole said as she looked back.Thanks to Nicole, Harvey and Ike could make it this far, which was something they definitely could not achieve by themselves."You guys continue to fire down there while I'm going to find a high ground." Nicole left at once."Hey, where are you going?" Harvey called out as Nicole went, but it was to no avail.Nicole came to slightly higher ground with a good view of the entire area under the opponent's fire. To her surprise, there was a large area up ahead. Because there was a fog made of dry ice, it was not possible to see the exact situation. Her paintball gun could not snipe, so she could only shoot at the nearby enemies, then return to the ground.Just as she was about to push forward again, Nicole heard the sound of footsteps. "Why did they come up so fast?"As the footsteps got

    Another figure blocked their way, reaching for Harvey. Having learned some self-defense techniques, Harvey swiftly dodged the opponent's grabbing hand.But the opponent did not stop his attack. After missing his target, the opponent continued to charge at him.Harvey quickly raised his paintball gun and shot at the man. As the assassin was hit and screamed in pain, Ike dragged Harvey back and ran.Nicole came from behind just in time to meet them. "Are you guys okay?""We're fine. Just that one opponent was hit but didn't die. Instead, he continued to attack us."Nicole immediately knew what had happened and pointed to the way they came. "You guys go back to the second level and call the staff to take you out."The two men looked at Nicole in puzzlement, wondering why they needed to call the staff while they were still in the game.Nicole saw the bewilderment on Harvey's face, but there was no time to explain, as the assassin was catching up. "Don't ask. Just do as I say." She pu

    Harvey and Ike ran to the second level. After alerting the staff, he felt they could not leave Nicole behind, so they found some steel rods and ran back toward Nicole. By the time they came back to the scene, the assassins had been knocked to the ground.Nicole looked back at Harvey and Ike, tossed the steel rod in her hand, and walked over to them. "Why are you guys back again?"The two of them had not yet come out of their startlement, so Nicole waved her hand in front of their eyes."We were worried about you. But it looks like it is over." Harvey looked at the men on the floor behind Nicole.At this point, a staff member rushed over and was shocked to see the unknown man injured on the floor. "Who are they?""Just leave them to the police." Nicole looked at the staff and explained."Let's go." She then brought Harvey and Ike out of The Octopus Experience Center.On the way back, Harvey had a lot of questions in his mind. He had known Nicole for so long, yet he did not know t

    "Yeah." Nicole took out an unopened bottle of red wine and handed it to him.Harvey got up and poured himself a glass, then looked over at Nicole. "You want some?""Drink yourself."Harvey took a sip of the wine."What did you mean just now?" Nicole looked at him with a serious face, figuring that Harvey must have discovered something. Otherwise, he would not have asked like that."Did it not bother you that Ike approached you unsolicited at the seminar?" Harvey asked."Why should I be bothered? Wasn't everyone talking to each other there?" Nicole detected nothing suspicious or unnatural about Ike at the time."Maybe you were really looking at the scenery outside and did not notice those people in the venue.""I had noticed Ike for a long time. He didn't talk to anyone but you. Why do you think that is?" Harvey looked meaningfully at Nicole?"He was neatly dressed, with not a bit of dust on his leather shoes, so he could be mysophobic, and not talking with others is also part

    "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
