Chapter 2946

Chapter 2946Chapter 2946
The Riddles were far from an average family. Their life was anything but simple, with a family business
and the Riddle Corporation to oversee, among countless other responsibilities.
Gloria let out a sigh. "I believe they can handle it."
Despite her confidence in her children, Gloria, like any parent, couldn't help but worry a bit more than
necessary.
On their way to the Riddle Corporation, Nicole glanced at Jared. "Do you think your grandpa knows
what's going on? Should we go back and tell him?"
Jared shook his head. "No need. Grandpa already called." "Oh." Nicole was taken aback by
Maximillian's swift reaction. Jared's face clouded over. 'Grandpa's call wasn't just about the
Water Crest. He also reminded me to keep Nicole safe. Now that she's even more in the spotlight, I
can't let her be in any danger.'
As they reached the Riddle Corporation, Nicole caught sight of Lawrence. Her eyes narrowed slightly.
'He's here.'
As she started to get out of the car, she noticed Jared doing the same. She stopped him.
"Don't worry, I can handle this."
Jared frowned, clearly not entirely on board with her decision.
"Just trust me, I can deal with this on my own." For Nicole, this was a personal matter withLawrence, something she needed to sort out herself.
Seeing her resolve, Jared finally gave in. "Alright."
"Thank you," Nicole said, giving him a smile before stepping out of the car.
Jared watched her approach Lawrence, his eyes filled with worry.
"Mr. Johnston, should we wait here?" Max asked, his voice tinged with unease.
"Let's go," Jared said, pulling his gaze away.
He wanted to give Nicole the space she asked for to deal with Lawrence.
He trusted that Lawrence, even if upset, wouldn't dare to harm her openly, at least not today.
Nicole approached Lawrence with a calm smile. "Let's talk upstairs."
"Alright," Lawrence replied, surprisingly calm.
They headed to Nicole's office. Soon, Lulu arrived with two cups of coffee. Nicole noticed
Lulu's worry and reassured her with a gesture.
Lulu shook her head, not wanting to leave, but Nicole gently insisted, "I'll be fine, go ahead with your
work."
"Okay." Despite her reluctance, Lulu left, looking back a few times.
Lawrence watched this and commented with a touch of disdain, "She seems really worried about you."
Inside, he thought, 'If I really wanted to do anything, what could she do to stop me?'Nicole just glanced at him briefly. "She's just worried."
Then, she got straight to the point. "I know everything."
"From the very start?" Lawrence was caught off guard, then laughed at himself. "And here I was,
thinking I hadeverything under control."
He realized she knew everything from when Everett was taken. 'No wonder she figured out
novelbinI was behind the game and its real purpose, and how she turned my plan around, making me lose the
Water Crest,' he thought.
"I'm not surprised by these events, but I didn't expect it to be you," Nicole said, her eyes cold as she
stared at Lawrence.
What really hurt was realizing his betrayal. Their five-year friendship, where they both claimed to be
inseparable, made the betrayal feel even worse.
