Chapter 2181

“Damien made his move?”

Steve’s expression was very stern and somber. The project with Sky Corporation was very dear to him, and he was at the brink of questioning his entire existence to figure out how Damien had acquired their project.

“I think so.” Nicole shrugged, not aware of what was happening.

“You think so?” Steve was at loss due to Nicole’s response.1 What does she even mean?’

Steve bit his lip before hesitating for a moment.

Then, Nicole looked Steve in the eye and said, “It just feels a little strange.”

‘Even if Damien has what it takes to stand against us, this wouldn’t be the time he has shown us how capable he is. One thing is clear for sure. They were being way too obvious. On top of that, how could Everett come to be this calm in this, out of all situations? They landed themselves this major project.

How could they be this calm?’ she pondered.

Steve, on the other hand, was unable to remain calm, so he muttered, “Do you think someone deliberately set this up to pit the head office against NandoCorp?”

“I can’t rule this possibility out.” Nicole’s mind singled one particular individual out at once, a mischievous look crossing her face.

‘Since when has Raine gotten so smart, or was it James’ idea?’

Steve noticed the smirk on Nicole’s face and asked, “You have an idea, don’t you?”

“We can give up on this project with Sky Corporation. I would like to see what Everett can do.” Nicole’s eyes glinted with mischief, as she hoped to see if the person messing with them was Raine or not.

“Okay, then we shall follow your plan. I too want to see what good Everett can do. Besides, you’re the one holding the Fire Crest,” Steve said with a sneer.

“The Fire Crest?” Nicole looked at Steve blankly. “What is that?’

Steve looked at Nicole and patted her on the head. “I got too excited for a while there and forgot you don’t have all your memories back.”

“Steve, did you just say I’m the owner of the Fire Crest?” Nicole frowned a little.

‘I don’t even know what the Fire Crest is and now I’m the owner?’ she wondered.

“Back in the day…”

Steve then carefully told Nicole about the legend of the Fire Crest, with Nicole nodding hesitantly as she listened on.

‘Oh, so I happen to own a century-old crest that’s powerful enough to rally everyone to my cause. It’s a pity that I can’t remember any of this. Besides, I can’t even recall where my crest is now. It would be useless now, I’m afraid,’ she thought.

“Well, it doesn’t matter if you have the crest or not. I believe that Everett is no match for you,” Steve assured.

Nicole could not help but smile upon hearing that. “Thanks Steve. It wouldn’t be any better even if we possessed the crest.”

“That’s true. We can’t force things. Perhaps one day you’ll be able to recall all your memories and retrace your footsteps.” Steve stated, being of the opinion that there was no need to discourage Nicole from regaining her memories.

Nicole nodded and agreed, “Yeah.”

Still, Nicole was unable to brush aside the fact that she was unable to regain her memories, a predicament which left her frustrated. “Perhaps I can get someone to investigate the Fire Crest itself?’

“Well, in this case, if there’s any updates, I’ll share it with you and Sean,” she said.

“Alright, I’ll wait for your good news.”

“Okay.” Nicole smiled, with Steve nodding and leaving thereafter.

Nicole bit her lip as she frowned in confusion at not being able to wrap her head around where to begin her investigation on the Fire Crest.

‘Where should I even start investigating? If I seek for Jared’s help, it would just be a bother, as he could be too busy…,’ Nicole thought to herself, before deciding to forget about it until she had thoroughly made her mind up about it.
