Chapter 1768
He was facing the window, but his eyes were fixated on his own reflection...
His charming face now had a bandage over it, and he looked utterly disheveled.
"Just wait and see. I will return these wounds to you." 'Just you wait, Jared Johnston.'
And thus, it was now a battle between Jared, the bold lion, and Everett, the cunning fox.
Everything had come to light, and so, Nicole had been living happily for the past few days.
She did not have any problems with her schoolwork and would show up to film after classes. The recent scenes
Nicole had shot rarely involved Lloyd, and so, she was mainly working with the other actors. All of it ran smoothly
and the production pace increased tremendously.
It was said that Chloe still refused to back down, and wanted to file a lawsuit against the Holder family's crew.
However, with the surveillance footage firmly in their hands, winning was an impossibility for her. Chloe had not
been discharged from the hospital yet, but she was already going around asking for money to fund her company.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile all of that was in motion, Nicole was just waiting for Jared and Lloyd's investigation to be completed, so that
she could sit back and reap the benefits.
She fell deep into her thoughts after talking to Zane on the phone.
On the other end, things were running smoothly for Jared as well. He had already found the key person and could
already gain a rough estimation of where the Brave was located. When all of the locations were finalized, he would
contact Zane and commence his operation.
If they succeeded, they might even be able to retrieve all of the Braves.
When Nicole had figured it out, she went downstairs for breakfast. It was the weekend, and so, her family was at
home. Nicole had gotten the weekends off because she had sped through the shooting of all of her scenes for the
past few days.
Samuel and Spencer were stunned when they saw Nicole walking down the stairs in carefree fashion. "Don't you
need to film today?"
Nicole shook her head. "Nah, I'm done with the scenes that were scheduled on the weekends, so I can rest."
"Damn... You're such a pro! I heard it’s hard to be an actress, and many of them tend to drag the production on.
You're awesome!" "Yeah, they shot my scenes first because they did not want to take more of my time. So, my
scenes are back-to-back, and it's more convenient for me since I'm the one who's in control," she explained, as it
was obvious that the production process would be quicker if there were no mistakes on her part.
"I'll be working with other actors later, so I probably won't be able to keep this pace anymore," she added.
She would not even know whether she would have free time to spare on the weekends.
"That's great. We’ve missed you." Samuel looked at Nicole with deep longing in his eyes. "Ever since Mr. Johnston
started taking you to and back from school, we've rarely seen you."
Nicole always got home after 10 pm, when they were already fast asleep.
"Me too," Nicole lied. She did not miss the noisy twins at all.
Spencer chuckled and pulled out a seat next to him for Nicole. "Take a seat. Let's have breakfast together."
The trio continued conversing as Stanley came downstairs, scratching his head. His hair was in a mess, and it
seemed that he had been working until late at night. He had probably even gone to bed without taking a shower.

Stanley looked ghoulish.
Samuel too saw how disheveled he looked and with a sigh, he teased," Yeah. You're still at a healthy age, so don't
push yourself too hard. I fear that you might damage your kidneys." "Shut up! Even if they're damaged, they still
won't be as bad as yours." Stanley barked back after Samuel had ribbed him.
"Pfft! Want to duke it out? I'm the basketball team captain. What makes you think I'll lose to a nerd such as
yourself?" Samuel said, looking unconvinced.
Seeing this, Spencer added fuel to the fire. "Good idea, but how are you going to compare your kidneys? Only your
girlfriends can do that for you."
Suddenly, Samuel and Stanley threw stare daggers at him as they bellowed, in unison, "Keep your mouth shut!"
He was rubbing salt into the wound, as none of them had girlfriends, and Spencer was laughing so hard that he
began tearing up.
Samuel and Stanley's faces turned red when they realized that Nicole was there too.
Unable to stand it any longer, Samuel got up and smacked Spencer on the back of the head. "Shut up! I'll beat you
up!"
