Chapter 2150

Able to see the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation when the car halted, Nicole got down from the car.

She watched as Jared left and made a turn for the office before walking in with a stern look on her face.

“What happened, Nicole?” Lulu was concerned as she sensed that Nicole was upset.

“Nothing.” Nicole forced out a smile and acted like nothing had happened.

Still, Lulu felt bad for her. “Nothing? You’re stressed out about the news huh? Ignore the comments.

Besides, I couldn’t find those pictures anymore.”

Nicole had just returned to San Joto, but people had already started speaking ill about her and Jared.

Therefore, it was only natural for her to be upset.

“Nah, I’m just a little tired. That issue is going to be resolved very soon anyway,” Nicole explained, not wanting Lulu to be upset as well.

It was then that Lulu became curious. “But why did you and Mr. Johnston go to that pre-school?”

She had already found it strange when she saw the news. She would have already believed the news if she was not Nicole’s friend.

“We were actually going to sponsor some teaching supplies to that school, and it just so happened that they had an event today, so they invited us. I found the kids rather cute, so I just played with them,”

Nicole briefly explained, having agreed upon this with Jared.

Although Lulu was not an outsider, she did not tell her as they were still in the office. Til just wait for the banquet. Lulu and June will be there, so I’ll tell them then.’

“There’s nothing serious about it anyway. It’s not illegal to go to pre-schools. In fact, I think this news is really weird. It’s like the perpetrator was targeting you and the kids. They were even saying things like you’re a single mother. I think they were just trying to say that you don’t go well with Mr. Johnston.” Lulu poked her tongue out with disdain.

“This paparazzi is probably an idiot. You and Mr. Johnston are legally married. How could you be incompatible?” she continued.

In her opinion, no couple complimented each other the way Nicole and Jared did.

Upon hearing what Lulu had said, Nicole squinted her eyes.’ Hm… Iris came to the event today.’

With Jared’s degree of competency, it was impossible for this piece of news to spread to the public if he had made the necessary arrangements. Thus, it made little sense as to how the pictures had been taken and disseminated online at such a pace.

That thought flashed in her head as her eyes turned cold. ‘If it really is Iris, Jared will probably take care of it…’

In the evening, Jared picked Nicole up and headed home.

As they were on the way, Nicole leaned her back against the seat and frowned. “You found out what happened?”

“It was pretty straightforward,” Jared responded coldly, his gaze chilling.

“What are you going to do about it? Nicole smirked. ‘Turns out, it really is Iris’s doing. I wonder what Jared is planning to do.’

“She has already left the company.” Jared’s eyes glinted with iciness.

He would never allow someone of such character to stay in his company.

Nicole shrugged, seemingly very satisfied with the way he had handled it. “I’m glad you don’t miss her.”

This prompted Jared to bow his head and look at her.

“Why would I miss her?” he asked, intrigued.
