Chapter 1999
"Let's just do as Nicole said," Sean quickly decided.
There were more important things waiting for them to do, so they did not wish to waste any more effort on this
matter, especially after considering the things that had happened to Nicole. Even as of now, they were yet to
unravel the mystery and neutralize the threats around Nicole. As such, they had to be very cautious.
"Sure," Steve said before proceeding to remind his sister." Nicole, the reunion banquet will be held soon. After that,
you'll officially be back in the company. Don't shoulder everything on your own. You can always come to me and
Sean when you have any problems."
"Okay." Nicole nodded lightly as her heart was filled with warmth. 'It feels so good to be back with my family."
"Alright, carry on with your work. We'll leave now."
"Let's have lunch together."
"Sure."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing that Nicole would be joining them for lunch, Sean and Steve turned around and left.
Now alone in the office, Nicole sighed quietly. 'San Joto is indeed full of dangers everywhere. Fortunately, I have my
family, who has given me the courage and strength to face everything.'
Her gaze fell on the documents on her desk as a hint of soft light flickered in her eyes. Then, she thought of Jared.
Her legal husband had appeared out of nowhere, shocking her and leaving her utterly perplexed, and yet, she
realized that she had stopped resisting him after she had gotten to know him better. She had even started to
accept him.
She slowly opened the documents Jared had handed her. Indeed, it was something she needed very much at that
time. She had to know more about the background and other information about the various enterprises and
families in San Joto, especially those who had formed partnerships with the Riddle Corporation. She had to
understand them better because they would still be working together in the future.
On the other side, Steve had followed Sean to his office after leaving.
"Bro, did you see what documents Nicole was holding?" Steve's gaze darkened.
"Yeah." Sean nodded, as the documents were too glaring for him to not notice.
"Lawrence is really efficient. The company has just been established, and he has already delivered the letter to
Nicole," Steve said eloquently.
Steve's eyes became even darker. "How’s the investigation on Lawrence going? Any new progress?"
"Nope. Like what we've discovered before, we still can't find anything wrong with him."
Although they did not have anything substantial enough to prove their assumptions, they still could not fully trust
Lawrence.
"It's just strange that he possesses such a perfect record. Also, all of us had been trying to find Nicole as soon as
she went missing. There's just no way we couldn't find a single trace of her if there wasn't anyone standing in our
way."
They figured that if Lawrence was able to erase all of Nicole's information and give her a new identity so
seamlessly, it would not be easy forthem to glean anything particularly suspicious about him.
"I guess he has genuine feelings for Nicole, but his methods..." Steve scoffed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven though Lawrence had painted a beautiful picture, Steve was not entirely convinced. Instead, he felt that what
Lawrence had done was done in order to mislead and deceive others.
"Regardless, he was the one who had rescued Nicole and taken care of her for five years. We must keep an eye on
him. As long as he doesn't do anything to harm Nicole, we can leave the rest to her."
They figured that it would be inappropriate for them to get in the way of their personal relationship, and as Nicole's
brothers, they should support every decision she made.
"Understood. I'll do that."
Although they were going to cease their investigation of him, it did not mean that they would let their guard down.
After all, Lawrence was simply too mysterious.
As the sun set, Nicole left the office to see that Jared had already been waiting for her outside. It seemed that he
had been there for a while.
The setting sun cast a golden glow on Jared, providing a warm contrast to his frosty and haughty presence.
Jared put on a gentle smile when he saw her coming out. Seeing that, Nicole was stunned, finding herself lost in his
smile.
'How could this guy be so enchanting? A single smile of his is enough to make me feel so vulnerable.'
