Chapter 2574
Jared and Nicole got into the car, and right away, he noticed that something was off.
That was when he quickly brought her into a comforting hug. "Consider this a good ending.”
Nicole having to find the Fire Crest the way she did indicated that her 'friendship' with Lawrence was nothing but a
sham and that they were not really 'friends' to begin with.
'I guess discovering the problem now is better than finding out about it later, when it has mushroomed into
something bigger,' Nicole thought to herself, somewhat trying to make herself feel better about the situation.
In response to Jared, she nodded. "I know."
Nicole had always been one who needed time to process all that was going on around her, and this time, it was the
deception and betrayal of her 'good friend'.
Jared took Nicole into his arms and gently held her. “Let's just go with the flow."
Nicole bit her lips, contemplating for a while before asking," Did you find anything?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hanwick was under Lawrence's payroll just as you've figured. They had plotted to prevent you from recovering
your memories," Jared informed, knowing that Nicole would ask about him.
"There's nothing else to it?" Nicole asked, her eyes narrowing.
How can he be this petty?' she fumed.
"For now, that's all the info I can provide you with," Jared said with a reassuring look on his face.
"Where is he now?" Nicole asked, her voice icy cold.
Jared then glanced down at Nicole. "We've set him free."
Nicole raised her eyebrows, understanding that Jared's intent was to track the person after setting them free to see
if they would make a move.
"Okay."
With her questions answered, Nicole fell silent, and it was not long before they arrived at the Riddle residence. By
then, everyone had already arrived and were waiting for Jared and Nicole to come home.
"Everyone, let's dig in," Daniel said as Jared and Nicole sauntered into the dining room.
Gloria looked around the table as Jared and Nicole settled in. "Alright everyone, the big day is tomorrow. I hope that
everyone has gotten their schedules cleared and has made arrangements accordingly."
"Yes, all has been well sorted," Nicole replied.
"Don't worry, Mom. We have double and triple confirmed. There won't be an issue," Spencer reassured.
Hearing that, Gloria nodded in satisfaction. "That's great!"
As soon as Gloria had spoken, she shifted her attention to Stanley, "Don't forget to invite Regina to the wedding with
you."
"No, I don't think that's necessary. It's such an important event. We should be focusing on the newlyweds, not me,"
Stanley protested.
He did not wish to mingle with anyone, let alone someone he had met through his blind date.
"What are you afraid of? The entirety of the Wynn family will be attending." Gloria grinned.
Stanley could not help but roll his eyes upon hearing that." It's none of my business whether they come or not. Just
forget about playing matchmaker..."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You...!" stuttered Gloria.
Then, Nicole suddenly stepped in and cut Gloria off. "Mom, let's make sure their wedding runs smoothly and
everything goes according to plan first."
Gloria frowned, for she had assumed that playing the matchmaker with Stanley at the wedding would be like killing
two birds with a stone.
Interrupting Gloria, Stanley pointed out, "Mom, I have a role to play. It would be in bad taste if I neglect the guests
during the wedding."
Gloria nodded along, figuring that Stanley had made a fair point. "Okay, I shall wait until after the wedding before I
continue with all that matchmaking for you."
With that said, Stanley flashed Nicole a look of gratitude. 'If it wasn't for her, I would have refused to show up at my
own brother's wedding to avoid my mother's awful cupid-like antics.'
A headache struck Stanley as he thought about the possible outcomes that would have unfolded had Nicole not
intervened.
Concurrently, Nicole smirked as she turned to look at Gloria.
"Mom, are your dresses ready?"
