Chapter 2155

Looking at the business card, Iris’s gaze eventually fell on the two words, “Genesis Group”.

‘This…’

Outside the bar.

Lawrence got into the car, whereupon Ian started the engine and drove away.

“Mr. Royce, did she go with it?” Ian asked in a low voice.

“She will,” Lawrence snorted lightly. ‘People are easily persuaded as long as they have desires.’

Hesitating for a moment, Ian asked, “Will she agree to your plan?”

He never expected this to happen. While he was dealing with the follow-up issues of Happiness Trading, Lawrence contacted his former subordinate, and everything was going smoothly. Suddenly, he received news from San Joto, which was where the most important project to Lawrence was taking place, stating that the negotiations had failed, and that the project had fallen into the hands of Jared.

As a result, Lawrence and Ian hurried back, but by then, it was already too late to win the project back.

However, as soon as they got off the plane, they heard that Nolan and Lana’s identities were almost exposed. After some careful investigation, they finally discovered this woman. And while Lawrence believed that Iris could be useful to him, he did not know if she would cooperate with them.

Leaning against the seat, Lawrence’s eyes darkened. He had only been away for a few days, but a major change had occurred in San Joto.

‘Jared is smart, indeed. He intercepted my project while I was away.’

That project was very important to Lawrence as it could have established a name for him in San Joto.

‘Well Jared, I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine,’ he fumed. ‘You think you can beat me like this?

You’ve really underestimated me…’

The next day, the sun shone bright and high.

After getting up early and having breakfast, the entire family scrambled, preparing to leave.

Today, Lana and Nolan would be accompanied by Tia and their chauffeur, who would drive them to school.

“Mommy, goodbye.” Nolan and Lana hugged Nicole and bade her farewell.

After kissing their little cheeks, Nicole comforted them,” Aunt Tia is going to take you to school. Mommy will be back when I’m done with work, and I’ll see the both of you when I come home.”

“Okay,” Nolan and Lana obediently agreed.

“Miss Riddle, Mr. Johnston? I’m leaving with them now.”

After greeting them, Tia took Nolan and Lana with her and got into the car.

Watching as the car receded from view, Nicole felt a sense of loss in her heart, almost as if there was something she did not wish to let go.

Jared then held her soft hand and whispered, “This is for their safety.”

“Yeah,” Nicole responded softly, her tone a little dull.

She was aware of the fact, and that it was her decision to go forward with the plan, but she just missed them.

“I have already gotten Max to investigate the matter. I hope to find that person as soon as possible so that Nolan and Lana won’t need to hide anymore,” Jared said with darkened eyes.

Nicole’s heart was warm. ‘Turns out, Jared has been secretly investigating as well.’

She had also been doing some investigating on her own online, but she had not found any leads. She hoped that he would make some progress on his side.

Then, they got in the car and headed toward the Riddle Corporation.

When they arrived, Nicole was about to get out of the car when Jared suddenly stopped her.

“Yes?” Nicole turned to look at him.

“Did you forget something?” Jared asked, his words hiding an implicit connotation.

“Huh?” Nicole felt a little confused. “What did I forget?’

Jared’s gaze shifted downward and paused on Nicole’s lips. “You didn’t just leave like this when you were saying goodbye to our kids.” ‘Our kids?’
