Chapter 2221

Nicole and Gloria arrived in the front yard of the living room. Nicole looked at the time and said, “Mom, it’s still early, so I’m going to the company.”

“Go ahead. Remember not to overwork yourself. You look pale,” Gloria advised.

Nicole’s cheeks instantly blushed. “Got it.”

With that, Nicole left the house and had the driver send her to Riddle Corporation.

Meanwhile, Jared stood facing the company’s French window, his expression cold.

“Is the news accurate?” Jared asked. It had been such a long time since they started the investigation.

So long that he thought there was nothing left to be found, but now there was actually a clue.

“Positive,” Max said with a grave expression. “That year when Mrs. Johnston came back to San Joto, there was indeed a mysterious entity that followed her. We suspect that group of people was the one who harmed Mrs.

Johnston. As for their identity, we’re still working on finding that out.”

“Give this information to Zane. Get him to find a way to investigate this group,” Jared said solemnly with an icy tone. He not only wanted to find this mysterious group, but he also knew Zane could use his organization’s connections and power to investigate. That way, they might get to the bottom of this quicker.

“Yes, sir,” Max replied and left.

Jared’s gaze moved towards the window as his expression darkened.

‘Five years ago, Nicole was targeted by this group, and she even almost lost her life when she came back to San Joto. The person responsible forthat incident is already buried at the bottom of the sea, so he wouldn’t be the one who attacked Nicole. But if it wasn’t him, who? Who were the ones who wanted to kill Nicole? And for what?’ Jared was lost in his thoughts, feeling confused.

He had no idea how to solve this puzzle and could only wait for the investigation’s result.

Jared exuded a chilling aura. No matter what, Jared was determined to find out who attacked Nicole.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

The secretary knocked on the door and came in to put down a document. “Mr. Johnston, the new work plan has been modified according to your instructions.”

“Leave it there.” Jared turned around and returned to his desk. Then his secretary left his office.

Looking at the documents on his desk, Jared’s expression became darker, it would send shivers down one’s spine.

Midday, during lunch break, Lulu and Nicole ordered food and ate lunch in the office.

“Woah, this looks so good. I’m so blessed,” Lulu said with a look of anticipation.

Nicole smiled wryly. “As if I’ve been torturing you all this while.”

“That’s not it! With this weather, to just sit in the office and enjoy the food with the air conditioning on, no sun. It’s pure luxury.” Lulu stuck her tongue out and then laughed.

“Fine, enjoy it then.” Nicole laughed and handed Lulu the cutleries.

“You too.” Lulu took the cutleries. She waited for Nicole to settle down before they both started eating.

“Nicole, I heard Snow is clamoring to get into DillCorp now. I really can’t understand her. Didn’t she always want to marry into a wealthy family? Why is she suddenly interested in her career?” Lulu gossiped while eating.

Nicole asked back curiously, “How did you know?”

“The person who kept an eye on Snow found out.” Lulu pursed her lips. “They say Dillion has yet to make up his mind, though Snow has already entered the company and doesn’t own any position yet.”
