Chapter 2120

If it were someone else, that person would already be freaking out by now. But Nicole being so calm just did not sit right with Karen.

“It’s obviously because she has Grandpa on her side. That’s why she isn’t worried at all. I’m just going to sit back and watch how Grandpa will favor her after the police are done with the investigation,” Raine said through her teeth bitterly.

“Yeah, I’m not going to let her off the hook so easily this time.” Dillon’s gaze turned dark. ‘I finally got this chance, and I’m not going to blow it.’

“Dad, are you going to send someone to keep an eye on them?” Raine asked softly, slightly concerned.

Dillon squinted as he nodded. “You’re right, I’ll send someone to do that.”

“Okay, we didn’t get to eat anything even though we went to the Riddle residence. Let’s eat now,”

Karen said gloomily.

“Let’s eat,” Dillon agreed.

They then went to a restaurant without Snow. The determined look she had on her face was nowhere to be seen. Her smile turned to a scheming smirk as she thought,1 Nicole, it’s finally your turn to be unlucky.’

Time flew by and three days had passed.

The police had no success in Nicole’s case, and the rumors about her were always being shut down by someone.

Jared and Nicole lived normally. They worked and went home as usual, as if nothing had happened.

“It’s about time now, huh?” Nicole leaned against her seat, looking intrigued.

“They probably can’t wait any longer,” Jared’s gaze was dark.

Nicole nodded in agreement as she thought, ‘Unlike what Dillon expected, he didn’t get any reaction from us. They’re probably going insane from their anxiousness by now, so they’re probably taking action anytime now.’

Jared looked down at her with a smile.

Nicole looked up and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I just think you look even more like a chairman now,” Jared responded with a smile.

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. “Are you poking fun at me?”

“Nope.” Jared’s eyes darkened. Little did Nicole know she was simply irresistible to Jared when she acted coquettish.

He slowly inched closer to her as he said deviously, “I’m being sincere.”

Nicole started to panic as she held her breath when she could feel Jared’s breath against her cheeks.

‘Why do I feel like there’s another meaning behind those three words?’ Nicole’s heart pounded against her chest. Unexpectedly, Jared just kept getting closer until he finally pressed her against the seat. In the very next second, a gentle kiss fell on Nicole’s lips, locking in whatever she was about to say.

The car stopped, and Nicole finally pulled herself back into reality. She realized that they were in front of the Riddle Corporation, so she quickly pushed Jared away, her cheeks flushed.

“I-I’m going down.” Nicole brushed her hair and fixed her clothes before getting down from the car, disoriented.

Jared smiled unknowingly as he watched how shy she was. However, he felt helpless as he thought, ‘We’re lawfully married…’

He watched as she went into her office and left after she disappeared from the entrance.

The tender gaze in his eyes was gone as soon as the car drove away, and the air turned cold.

“Mr. Johnston, Radiance Commerce’s goods have successfully reached Mecrounia and have taken the lead in capturing the market share. Contrastingly, Happiness Trading was just a little too late, and their profits were significantly lower than what they had expected,” Max reported.
