Chapter 2703

Okay!” Before Nicole could respond, both Nolan and Lana were already cheering and jumping up and down in excitement.

“Hey Tia. We’re done eating. Let’s go!” Lana ran over and grabbed Tia’s hand.

“Let’s go.” Tia said, and proceeded to walk out of the house with Nolan and Lana.

Nicole stared at Tia with her eyes narrowed.

Then she looked at Stanley, confirming her assumptions.’ Something’s going on between these two.’

“Let’s go,” Jared said, whereupon Nicole averted her gaze and left with him.

“I’m done eating. I’m going to work.” Stanley also got up, preparing to leave.

However, Gloria was a little worried. “Shouldn’t you rest for a few more days?”

Stanley had just gotten discharged from the hospital. His injuries had not fully recovered yet, so she wondered if it would be advisable for him to leave.

“It’s fine. I’ve already rested for a few days,” Stanley replied.

The seminar was nearing its end, and he had already delayed it for a few days, so he had to be present for the final part of the task.

“Okay, but can you at least not take the wheel? Let the chauffeur take you,”

Daniel said.

“Okay,” Stanley agreed.

It would be less cumbersome for him if he had someone to drive him around.

Although his injuries had almost healed, he had not slept well last night, so he did feel a little fatigued as of now.

Gloria let out a sigh once Stanley had exited the room. She had also lost her appetite as she looked at her unfinished breakfast.

All of her children had left, and the house had in it the sense of an abandoned home once more. Today, it was obvious that there was something strange about the atmosphere.

Upon noticing that Gloria was in a bad mood, he began to feel sorry for her. “If you’re feeling bored, why don’t you come with me and pay Dad a visit in the family manor?”

“Okay,” Gloria agreed, feeling that she should step out and unwind.

Meanwhile, Nicole saw that Lulu was already there upon arrival at the headquarters of Riddle Corporation.

“Hey, why do you look so troubled?” Lulu turned and looked at Nicole.

“It’s nothing. I just think Tia and Stanley were acting a little strange this morning, but never mind that.

Let’s just focus on our work.”

Regardless of what Stanley and Tia had in mind, Nicole had no choice but to respect their decision.

“Ah, so it’s because of them,” Lulu responded.

It seemed to her that the issue between Stanley and Tia was a complicated one.

Other than showing their concern, there was nothing they could do for the both of them.

Lulu handed the files over when she saw Nicole picking the documents up. “You should take a look at this first.”

“What is it?” Nicole grabbed the file and opened it, just to frown when she had seen what the contents were about.

“It’s about our partnership with Harvey. He’s always trying to expand the scope of our partnership, and I’m worried that if we cooperate with him on more than one front, it’ll affect us negatively. In addition, the fact that he keeps pushing the cooperation unilaterally and aggressively is an indication that he might have ulterior motives,” Lulu angrily stated.

She had always been on guard against Harvey. However, Harvey had been very persistent in regard to sending the contract over. She dared not ease up at all, as she was afraid that she would fall into his trap upon making the slightest mistake.

“Don’t worry, as this has always been his plan,” Nicole said before flashing her a faint smile. “You should just play along with him.”

“Play along with him?” Lulu frowned, not quite sure if she understood what Nicole meant.

In return, Nicole patted Lulu’s hand. “Go ahead and just do it.

She believed that Lulu understood what she was implying. It was just that she did not know what to do and to what extent it had to be done for the time being.
