Chapter 2815

It was already nine in the morning when Nicole woke up.

She opened her eyes, and upon sensing the silence in the room, she instinctively glanced at the clock beside her.’ Damn it. It’s already late.’

Pursing her lips, she could not help but blame Jared for the exhaustion he had inflicted her. Then, she got out of bed.

After Nicole was done washing and dressing up, she headed downstairs to see that there was no one there. At that moment, she realized that everyone must have left the house and gotten busy with their agendas for the day.

“Damn it! Jared didn’t even wake me up!” Nicole muttered.

Then, she ordered the house butler, “Get the chauffeur ready. I’m heading to the office.”

“Understood,” the butler replied, after which he went ahead and made the arrangements for Nicole.

Soon, the driver came around, picked Nicole up, and sent her to the headquarters of Riddle Corporation. Upon arrival, she rushed into her office at once.

Lulu, who had spotted Nicole, immediately followed after her and questioned, “Why are you so late today? Did you get drunk last night?”

In Nicole’s memory, she did not imbibe heavily the night before. As such, she should not have been hammered.

Feeling a little shy, Nicole looked away. “I had to take care of something.”

She had to find an excuse to get Lulu off her heels. There was no way she could admit that she woke up late because she was exhausted after what Jared had done to her.

“Was there anything at home for you to deal with?” Lulu frowned and muttered.

Nicole did not want to continue addressing that particular topic, so she waved it off and finessed her way out of the tough spot she was in by asking, “You seemed to be in a hurry when you came over. Is there anything wrong?”

“Oh.” Lulu nodded. “Yes, there is.”

Nicole had an inkling that whatever Lulu was going to talk about would be serious, so she lowered her voice and asked, “What happened?”

“So, here’s the scoop. It has only been a day, but Ellison Group has stumbled into a financial crisis already. I’ve always felt that something is wrong.” Lulu frowned while she explained.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“What is it?” Nicole creased her forehead.

That made no sense, as Ellison Group was solid and formidable enough to withstand a hiccup for a certain period of time.

“I’m not sure about the details, but I’ve assigned someone to look into it.” Lulu explained. “I just heard about it this morning. Harvey has been transferring huge sums of money to nurse the damage, but nothing seems to have worked.”

In order to learn the truth about what was actually happening, Lulu would have to wait for the men to complete the investigation.

“Yeah, let’s just wait for the news.” Nicole nodded.

Lulu then took a seat across Nicole, and her chin propped up on her hand, she asked, “Oh yeah, how’s Tia and Stanley?”

“Tia injured her leg when she returned home yesterday. Other than that, there’s nothing else of interest to note.” Nicole shrugged her shoulders.

But to Lulu, it seemed as if Nicole was saying, ‘I could not do much. I’m sorry. I know nothing.’

“As the saying goes, all good things come to those who wait. ” Lulu sighed.

Judging from the situation from the night before, Lulu felt that Tia and Stanley could have confessed to each other. However, no one had made any moves.

“You’re right.” Nicole smiled, believing that Lulu was right.

Then, Lulu raised her eyebrows and in a tone of concern, she added, “We’ve gotten a rough idea of what the consequences are going to be, but if things don’t go the way Cherry predicted, what are we going to do?”

Knowing that Lulu was worried about what the Jean family would do, Nicole calmly replied, “We’ll have to wait till Cherry is gone. As for the fallout, I’m sure Stanley is prepared for it.”

Even if the worst case scenario unfolded, and the Jean family refused to forgive him for conspiring with their daughter against them, there was nothing else they could do. After all, the one who had consciously decided to flee the country was their daughter. They would have no choice but to admit that nobody else was at fault but her.

After pausing for a moment, Nicole candidly expressed, “To be honest, this doesn’t concern me much at all. I’m actually more worried if Cherry will be able to find true happiness.”

If Cherry managed to secure true happiness, everything she had done thus far would be meaningful.

Otherwise, none of anything she and Stanley had done would matter regardless of what the end result was.

To that, Lulu nodded in agreement. “Yeah, that’s true. But I’d like to think there won’t be any problems.”
