Chapter 1016

"It is a little tough."

Nicole could not help but sigh when she could not level up.

"I have tried this level countless times and haven't gotten past it yet.Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you
try," Samuel said sarcastically.

Their laughter could be heard downstairs.

Norah was upset that they were so happy when Nicole arrived, so she said to Gloria, "I'm going
upstairs to see what they're doing."

"Go ahead."

Gloria was happy to see them all in one place and get along harmoniously.

Norah ran upstairs and saw three of them staring at a computer with bated breath.

"What are you guys playing?"

Norah's sudden voice startled them, and Nicole failed the level again.

"I'm not playing again.What is this game?"

Nicole sighed and got up to leave.

"Don't leave.You could level up in just a couple of tries."

Samuel called out to Nicole to stay.



"You guys have fun.I'm leaving."

Nicole walked downstairs.

Samuel gave Norah a reproachful look.

Had Norah not made a sudden noise, maybe Nicole would have leveled up.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"It was downstairs and heard that you guys seemed to have a lot of fun here, so I came up to take a
look.Are you all playing a game?" Norah asked as she glanced at the computer.

"Yeah."

Samuel did not feel like talking to her.

"I saw Nicole didn't get past the level earlier.Can I try?"

Norah wanted to join them.

"Forget it.This kind of game is not for you.You'd better just play mobile games," Samuel said
sarcastically.

After getting snubbed, Norah left with exasperation.

Downstairs, Nicole would not stay and talk any longer.

After having a short chat with Daniel and Gloria, she was ready to head out.

It was at that moment she saw Norah coming back downstairs, and she reminded Norah, saying,
"Tomorrow, if you need any help at the hospital, feel free to call me."



She was saying this on purpose.

"Okay."

Norah squeezed an awkward smile at Nicole.

Meanwhile, at Mr.Johnston Sr"s residence, Henry was sitting next to his father.

"Dad, there's something I don't know if I should talk about."

Henry looked at Mr.Johnston Sr.in a predicament.

"You're old enough that you should know what should and should not be said.So just say it."

Mr.Johnston Sr.shot a glance at him.

"The raw materials prices have gone up recently, and our branch is cash-strapped.I went to the
headquarters a few days ago to ask Jared for help.If we can get through this difficult time, the branch's
revenue will definitely double.But Jared not only did not help but also lectured me about this and
that.He did not charge a penny when he delivered raw materials to Martin.Now that his own family
needs help, he stood by.What Jared has done is too much.If there is no more capital injection, our
branch will be ina dangerous situation."

Henry told of all his displeasure at once.

"You said that Jared gave Martin raw materials.Was it Sebastian's son, the doctor?"

Mr.Johnston Sr.looked at Henry.

"Yes, it is Sebastian's son.I heard he is developing a medical device and seems to be ready for mass
production.Dad, that's not the point; the point is that Jared would rather help outsiders than his own



family.Don't you have to take care of that?"

Henry looked at Mr.Johnston Sr.with anxiety.

"I will find out the situation.If it is true that he did something wrong, I will order him to transfer funds to
you right away."

"Dad, you have to help me out quickly.I can't wait much longer."Henry looked at Mr.Johnston Sr.with an
anxious face.
