Chapter 2095
Nicole was at a loss on how to respond and so, she said," Don't sweat it. I feel much better now."
She was too focused on cracking the system during the evening and had forgotten to catch a break. However, she
was all good now.
"You must rest, or I will make you," Jared threatened, noticing that Nicole had no intentions of resting.
Nicole froze, smoothed her hair awkwardly, and averted her gaze. In all her shrewdness, Nicole did not ask Jared
about the methods he would employ to make her rest. She could already feel that his answer would put her in an
awkward position.
Helpless, Nicole did as she was told; she laid down and began to get some shuteye. This was the safest option for
her. Seeing that Nicole had settled down, Jared nodded in satisfaction and pulled the blanket over her.
"Just stay here. I'll be back soon."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Jared had left, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. 'Why do I feel so nervous when Jared comes near me?'
Staring at the ceiling, Nicole got lost in her thoughts.
When Jared arrived downstairs, Daniel and Gloria asked with concern, "How's Nicole?"
"She's a little tired from work. She'll be fine after some rest,"
Jared briefly explained.
"Ah well, Nicole has always been self-sufficient," Gloria said, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Don't worry, Gloria. It's just that Dillion has been up to no good recently. That's why she was a little stressed out,"
Jared reassured. "She'll be fine soon."
"What about Dillion?" Daniel furrowed his brows, his expression turning grim.
"Not much. He's just interested in the inheritance and assets of the Riddle family," Jared snorted coldly and walked
toward the kitchen.
Jared knew about the meeting Nicole had with Mr. Harmon today. When he saw Nicole in a bad mood after work, he
had figured that it was probably because of that.
Noting Jared's reluctance to discuss the matter any further, Daniel and Gloria exchanged glances and stopped
asking.
"Oh well," Gloria sighed, feeling speechless and helpless in the face of Dillion and Damien's actions.
"I'll inform Sean to take better care of Nicole," Daniel said, placing his hopes on Sean.
After all, in terms of skill and competence, Sean was miles ahead of everyone else.
"Don't forget Steve. He's in the company too. Let them take care of their sister," Gloria added.
"Mom, Dad? Don't worry too much. If Nicole didn't possess the capabilities, how could she possibly secure the
position of chairman? She's just probably still not used to it," Stanley said, having entered the room and overheard
the conversation.
"That's easy for you to say. You don't even care about your sister," Gloria glared at Stanley with dismay written all
over her face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing that, Stanley immediately felt aggrieved. "How can I not worry about her? With everything we're capable
of, Nicole will have no worries if she stays at home all day, doing nothing. But do you think she would be happy with
that?”
If they were worried about Nicole, the best way was to not let her work. However, they all understood that was not
the life Nicole wanted. After all, Nicole had taken over the company without any reluctance, even though she had
not regained her memories yet. It meant that, deep down, she was still the same Nicole as before.
Daniel and Gloria exchanged glances, feeling even more heartbroken for Nicole because they knew what Stanley
said made sense. At that moment, Jared walked out of the kitchen with a tray of light but nutritious dishes. He then
went upstairs, taking big steps along the way.
"I'm back," Spencer, who entered the house, announced.
Then, when he saw Jared going upstairs, he curiously asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Johnston? Why'd he take his
dinner upstairs?"
"Nicole's not feeling well," Gloria explained the situation briefly.
Hearing that, Spencer expressed his concern. "Can she handle eating?"
"Mr. Johnston said she just needed some rest," Stanley explained.
