Chapter 2879

With a smile on her face, Nicole replied, “Don’t worry, we’ll just go along with Stanley and Tia’s arrangements.”

Hearing this, Gloria calmed down. “Alright, I just want to make sure that Tia doesn’t feel as if she is lesser than US or anything. That’s my only concern.”

Indeed, this was Gloria’s only concern. Nothing else would be a problem for her.

“You should just relax and prepare for their wedding, I’m sure they won’t be able to wait for too long.”

Nicole smiled and advised.

Then, she held Jared’s hand and walked out of the house with him.

Though Gloria was stunned at first, she quickly came to her senses and beamed. “The wedding is happening really soon, right?” “I guess so.” Daniel returned her smile.

“Well, since Stanley and Tia will be staying with US, I think we should clean the house up, especially Stanley’s room. We must renovate the couple’s room and refurbish everything. Let’s give them a new set of furniture and decorations.”

Gloria began to plan.

“If you’re going to renovate the room, where is Stanley going to stay?” Daniel asked.

“He can sleep in Samuel or Spencer’s room for the time being as long as he isn’t going to step foot in that room of his before the wedding. That room of his will be renovated and reserved for the wedding.

We must clean it up, ” she replied.

Seeing how excited Gloria was, Daniel smiled and patted her on the back in support. “Alright, we’ll go according to your plan.”

Gloria then beamed and began planning on ways to renovate Stanley’s room.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared, who had long since left the house, were on the road en route to their workplaces.

“Preston told me he just arrived at the headquarters of Finley Group. He’s discussing the plan with Ryder and Gary,” Nicole said in a low voice after she had caught a glimpse of the message on her screen.

“Yeah, with the three of them working together, the process should be quick.”

Jared replied, calm and collected.

Nicole bit her lips and sighed. “I don’t know why. I can’t help but feel that the more we progress, the more stressed out I am.”

Knowing how Nicole must be feeling, Jared wrapped his hand around hers.

If you give in now, you’ll just be doing yourself a disservice.” “I’m not giving in. I just feel a little sorry for the way things are now.” Nicole shook her head.

For her relationship with Lawrence to deteriorate to the point that they could not even be friends anymore was something she had neither expected nor wanted.

It’s human nature to only care about one’s personal gains and interests. There’s nothing new about it.

That’s the reality of the world we live in.” Jared offered, his face drooping in profound sadness, for he too had experienced his share of betrayals, from his own uncle no less.

“Yeah.” Nicole nodded.

She had resolved that if there was nothing she could do to remedy the situation, the only option left for her was to face her adversaries head on.

As the car continued plodding ahead. Nicole fixed her gaze on the scenery outside, and from her deep-

set eyes, she got lost in thought. All Jared could do at that moment was hold her hands in an effort to comfort her.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Finley Group, Ryder and Gary were left in a state of shock and disbelief.

With serious looks on each of their faces, they asked, “Are you being real?” “Do I look like I’m joking?”

Preston rolled his eyes at both of them.

The idea that he would travel all the way there early in the morning just to pull a prank on them was ludicrous at best.

“It’s not that. I’m just shocked.” Gary shrugged his shoulders, his eyes wild and wide.

“But all of these are just our guesses. It’s down to US to search for solid answers.” Preston reminded the Finley brothers.

“Alright. We’ll do our very best, as Nicole truly needs our help.” Gary promised, his eyes burning with determination.

Ryder nodded in tandem. “If this is something that concerns Nicole, we must lend her a helping hand.”

“It’s great to have you guys as friends.” Preston sighed, happy and grateful to have them around.

Then, the three of them began to discuss how they were going to create the application. Once they had gotten a rough direction of what their next step was going to be, they began to delegate the tasks to everyone.

Once everything had been settled, the three of them looked at each other, their eyes shining with confidence. “Alright, we’ll proceed with this.” “One more thing.”

Ryder paused for a moment and suggested. “We can consider baiting and switching.”

Frowning, Preston asked, “You mean…” “Yes. Since they were the ones who started this, why don’t we use what they have developed to the fullest extent and hide the actual results?” Ryder clarified.

By handing their adversaries a set of false results, the latter would not be able to make use of it to crack the code and gain access to the Water Crest.
