Chapter 2759

Nicole then theorized, ‘If Stanley and Tia had gotten together earlier on, perhaps Mom might have a milder reaction as compared to what she’s dealing with now.’ Jared, who remained uninterested, gently caressed Nicole on the shoulder. “It’s getting late. Let’s head to bed.”

Nicole still had a lot on her mind, as she had been worried sick about Stanley. ‘I guess I’ll leave the rest to him.’ After a slight pause, she looked up at Jared and smiled.” You can take a shower first. I have a call to make.”

Jared immediately understood Nicole’s intent and made his way to the bathroom. “Okay, but don’t take too long.”

Nicole took her phone out and dialed a number that was all too familiar to her now.

Then, Zane’s voice blared out from the speaker. “Nicole?”

There was a tone of surprise as he greeted her.

Suddenly, Nicole felt an overwhelming surge of emotions.” Zane?”

Zane issued a massive sigh of relief at once. “Since you’re calling me right now, this must mean that you remember everything.”

Nicole bit her lip, trying to maintain her composure. “Yeah, I remember everything now.”

In a low and solemn voice, Zane replied, “Welcome back Nicole.”

Zane and everyone else had been worried sick about Nicole. They had been trying to discover her whereabouts for the longest time now, and her phone call to Zane finally lifted the weight off everyone’s shoulders.

Nicole frowned. “Welcome back? Is this supposed to be a signal that I am back in the organization?”

Nicole had fully recovered from her amnesia, and now, it was clear that she was once a member of the Zane Spears Organization.

Hearing that, Zane teased, “I was about to remove you from our organization so that you could lead a peaceful life.”

However, this only confused Nicole. “Didn’t I submit a resignation letter before this?”

Zane busted out laughing at that instant. “You didn’t, but I knew you were preparing to submit one after you got married to Jared Johnston. However, we didn’t think you would get into a plane crash and vanish off the grid for such a longtime.”

Despite Nicole having never mentioned it before, Zane knew that Nicole would have persisted in ensuring her resignation was finalized just so that she could put her family first. Even after the accident, her retirement was imminent.

Nicole going off the grid for nearly five years since the plane crash was something that no one was able to foresee, and while a great deal had happened ever since then, none of them had given up on searching for her.

By the time the Zane Spears Organization got word of her whereabouts, Nicole had returned to San Joto, much to their disbelief. But upon learning that Nicole had suffered from a case of severe memory loss, they had decided to distance themselves from Nicole as a gesture of respect. They did not wish to bother her anymore, allowing her to live the rest of her life in peace instead.

Zane was very thankful that Nicole had returned to her family regardless of the fact that she had lost all of her memories. Either way, he knew she would have resigned.

Naturally, his reply took her aback. ‘I think I did have this idea five years ago, but everything that had happened ever since the incident had spiraled out of control.

No one could have seen that coming.’ “I’m sorry I had everyone worried about me for the past five years,” she apologized. ‘I can’t imagine how hard they’ve worked to find me over the past five years.

The amount of efforts they have dedicated to the search effort is just immense.”

“It’s fine. You’re back now, and in one piece too. I think that’s good enough for us.” Zane smiled.

Nicole was suddenly reminded of her friends from the organization, so she asked, “How’s everyone doing?”

In return, Zane assured, “Everyone’s doing fine. Don’t worry about it.”

And after a moment of hesitation, Nicole sighed. “I know I agreed to resign after everything that has happened, so I’ll do so after this.”

Zane paused for a moment before asking, “After this?”

A firm and solemn look crossed Nicole’s face there and then. “I mean, it’s crystal clear at this point that this incident happened because of me. I can’t just sit here and do nothing about it.”

‘Whether I am involved with the Zane Spears Organization or not, one thing is for sure. I can never be left to live in peace!’ She sighed.

Understanding what Nicole meant, Zane asked, “Are you referring to the Eastern Falcon?”
