Chapter 2469
"I'll come with you," Lulu said, eager to accompany Nicole, who raised her brows right away.
Noting Nicole's hesitation, Lulu quickly added, "I can help, you know."
Hearing this, Nicole replied, "Alright. Well head there tomorrow."
"Great." Lulu smiled in relief.
The elevator reached the first floor, and the three of them stepped out.
"If anything happens, let Sean and I know," Steve said.
"Don't worry," Nicole replied with a confident edge to her voice.
'Even though Everett has lost his mind, I doubt he'll dare to mess with me,' she thought.
Outside the company building, Lulu noticed that Spencer had not shown up yet, and that was when she stated, "You
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshould go ahead. Don't keep Mr. Johnston waiting."
"Alright, I'll see you later."
After saying goodbye to Lulu, Nicole walked over to Jared’s car, and once she was seated, she leaned back and
issued a quiet sigh.
Jared glanced her way and asked, "Tired?"
"Not really. Steve said Everett is targeting DillCorp. They just eluded bankruptcy and are starting to stabilize, but
they're not back on track yet," Nicole replied, her face creased with worry.
"Thinking of checking it out?" Jared asked, catching on to her concerns.
Nicole nodded. "Lulu and I are heading there tomorrow."
"I'll send some backup," Jared offered, recognizing her resolve.
Nicole considered refusing, but after she met Jared's gaze, her words escaped her.
She hesitated for a moment, biting her lip, and then she nodded. "Alright."
Having recognized his concerns, she decided to accept his aid. With that, Jared's eyes lit up, and he gave her hand
a reassuring squeeze.
Smiling, Nicole told him, "Rest assured, I won't let Everett just waltz in and take DillCorp. He'll be sorely disappointed
if he tries."
After picking Nolan and Lana up, Nicole and Jared headed back to the Riddle residence.
As Stanley was coming in, Gloria announced, "Time for dinner. Samuel and Spencer won't be joining tonight.
They're out again."
"Another date?" Stanley remarked as he made his way to the dining room.
Gloria playfully retorted, "Yep, and when's the last time you went on one?"
Exasperated by the comment, Stanley shot back, "Mom, haven't you had enough planning for their wedding
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmalready? Can we take a breather before diving into my love life?
Besides, what about Nicole?"
Knowing what his brother was trying to do, Nicole teased," Trying to shift the spotlight to me? We're talking about
you!"
She had been dreading this conversation, and of course, Stanley just had to mention it and throw her under the
bus.
After hearing Stanley's remark, Gloria turned to Nicole. "You two need to think about settling down as well."
"Alright, Mom," Nicole replied, using her past experiences to navigate the conversation. But as for the timeline and
specifics, those were her decisions to make.
Gloria sighed. "You might brush off what I have to say, but think about Nolan and Lana. People will soon know about
them. Isn't it time to make things official?"
"We've already made it official, Mom. Even if we didn't hold a grand ceremony, we're still legally married. Nolan and
Lana are very much a part of our recognized family," Nicole retorted, her frustration evident.
'Why does she make it sound like I've let Nolan and Lana down?' she wondered.
