Chapter 2025
"Get the men to continue watching." Jared gave his order with narrowed eyes.
"Noted." After Max nodded, he left the office.
Jared's eyes darkened a little. The reason he was cautious about Lawrence was not just because he liked Nicole. It
was also because he had an inexplicable sixth sense toward Lawrence. He always felt that Lawrence was hiding a
secret and it was about Nicole.
The sun has set, and night has fallen.
Nicole walked out of the Riddle Corporation and saw Jared's car parked by the roadside waiting. The corners of her
mouth slightly lifted as she walked over slowly.
But before she could reach Jared’s car, two more cars drove over and stopped beside her.
She could tell that those were Samuel and Spencer's cars. She was surprised to see them there. But after the cars
came to a halt, two girls got out and ran toward Nicole.

"Why didn't you contact us? We only found out after we saw the news!"
The two girls who suddenly appeared hugged Nicole tightly. Nicole was a little surprised and almost wanted to push
them aside instinctively.
However, she sensed a familiar feeling and resisted her instincts. She just froze and let those two girls hug her while
bawling.
"That's enough. It's good news that Nicole is back! Why are you girls crying? ■
"That's right. The both of you have been crying to meet her. Isn't she here right now?"
Samuel and Spencer were comforting Lulu and June. It was heartbreaking to see them cry.
The two girls hugged Nicole and cried for a long while before letting go. While sizing Nicole up, they questioned, It
seems like you haven't changed at all. Where have you been over the past five years? Why didn't you contact us?"
Facing a series of questions, Nicole sighed internally and tried to calm herself down. "I ran into some problems but
all that has passed."
Nicole knew that these two girls were Lulu and June, her best friends from Royal Creek Institute. It was mentioned
in the materials which Jared had given Nicole. She knew that these two girls were trustworthy. However, Nicole did
not plan to tell them about her incident.
For one thing, it was better if less people knew about her problem. Another was that Nicole did not want the girls to
worry about her after seeing how nervous they were.
On the other hand, Lulu and June could tell that Nicole did not want to talk about what happened in the past five
years. So, they did not press Nicole with more questions. That was the chemistry they’ve built over the years. When
it came to anything related to Nicole, they would not ask if she did not want to talk about it.
"Since you're back, you won't leave anymore. Right?" Lulu asked the question bluntly.
June glanced at Lulu and said while shaking her head, "She's already taken over the Riddle Corporation. How could
she leave?"
Lulu stuck out her tongue. She was dwelling in the heat of the moment, so she did not think through it. But as soon
as she knew that Nicole would not be leaving, Lulu was genuinely happy about it. She carefully asked, "Then, can

"Why don't we schedule another day?" Nicole replied hesitantly. After all, she had no memory of them. All she knew
were their identities only, and that would make it hard for her to connect with them. Nicole needed more time to
process and accept things.
She was also clear that she could not treat these two girls coldly just as how she did to others. Yet, Nicole could not
force herself to be close with them.
"She must be tired since she had just taken over the company. Why don't the both of you wait till she has adjusted
herself to the environment? Then we'll have a good meal together." Samuel attempted to save Nicole out of that
situation.
The boys were not sure about Nicole's decision on her loss of memory. Therefore, they did not tell June and Lulu
about it. But looking at how Nicole was acting, they roughly guessed that Nicole did not want to reveal it. With that,
the boys could only remain silent about the matter.
It was only then that Lulu and June realized something. They turned to Samuel and Spencer, and said, "The both of
you had already known about Nicole’s return and yet you guys kept it a secret from us?
