Chapter 1984
There was a hint of skepticism when Lawrence deliberately refused Nicole returning to the country. The excuse of
him not having enough power and influence in San Joto was suspicious enough.
'Lawrence was a very cautious person to begin with. He never does things he’s unsure of.' Nicole took a deep
breath, as if to organize her thoughts. She stretched out her hand to Lawrence.
"Thank you so much for always being considerate of me. But don't you worry. Now that I'm home, you're still my
friend and it won't ever change. I must congratulate you for getting into Hustuaburg though if there's anything you
need help with. Don't be afraid to ask me for help." Nicole smiled brightly. Her face was filled with sincerity.
Lawrence's mood somewhat eased a little after listening to Nicole's words.
'It seems like she believes me, which is enough for me.' Lawrence reached out his hand to shake Nicole's, smiling."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlright, I should congratulate you too, CEO of the Riddle Corporation."
Nicole was taken aback. She blinked before replying, "How did you find out about this?"
Lawrence smiled calmly. "It's no secret actually. Your grandfather gave you all his shares. Everyone knows that
the moment you're back, you are to fulfill his wishes."
Nicole sighed. 'Everyone seems to have accepted this as reality. I guess it’s only me who feels like the responsibility
is a huge burden.'
"I've never managed a company before, so I'm not sure if I'm the right fit. This is such a huge responsibility for me."
Nicole just wants to take care of her children without having to deal with such complicated affairs.
"Don't worry about it. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime." Lawrence's gentle look and reassurance
made Nicole feel more at ease.
"Okay."
The two of them chatted for a little while more before Nicole saw Lawrence out. Sean and Steve had been watching
both Lawrence and Nicole from the balcony since earlier.
Steve smiled and asked, "Sean, what kind of person do you think he is?"
"I don't want to comment on that. I have to check him out." Sean's expression was serious. He felt like he should
run a background check on Lawrence.
"How much do you think you can trust his words?" Steve was still recalling the perfectly curated words Lawrence
had said earlier. Steve was concerned if he had any ulterior motives.
"It's too late for nothing. I only believe half of his words,"
Sean said mercilessly.
Steve looked at Nicole's back and said, "But looking at Nicole. It seems like she really believed him."
Sean smiled. "Don't worry about it. She's a smart person. You can't hide the truth. It's bound to be revealed sooner
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmor later."
Steve nodded, agreeing with Sean. Knowing Nicole's intelligence, even if she temporarily believed him as she was
the benefactor, it would not be long until she notices a problem.
After Nicole had sent Lawrence off, Lana rushed to hug Nicole's leg. "Mommy, is Daddy upset? He looked so sad
when he left..."
Nicole glanced at her daughter pitifully before carrying her in her arms. "It's okay. There's nothing to worry about.
Your dad is thick-skinned and will come back in no time."
"Really?" Lana was a little skeptical.
At the side, Noah joined in coaxing her. "Of course it's true. He definitely won't give up on Mommy like this."
After Nolan finished speaking, he could not help but to feel a little regretful. "Ugh... I don't hope he'll come back...
Godpa is better than him."
Nicole watched as her two children expressed their different opinions. She could not help but to feel a little dizzy.
"You two. If you sputter anymore nonsense, I'll ignore you both."
