Chapter 2604
"Then all of our hard work was all in vain," said Ian, sounding dejected.
Lawrence's eyes darkened. Then he said in a low voice, "So we have to think of other ways now."
Things had reached a new point now with the Fire Crest being almost impossible to steal. Lawrence had no thoughts
of giving up his plan, even if Nicole regained her identity and reinstated her ownership of the Fire Crest. Whether
everyone around her had told her everything or she did not know anything, Lawrence was determined to fight for
the chance to get the Fire Crest in his hands.
Lawrence looked at Ian with determination. "Go and get ready, I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir." Ian quickly went to pack Lawrence's bags for his trip.
Meanwhile, Lawrence laid on the sofa, staring out the window, consumed in his thoughts.

DillCorp were running smoothly once more.
As Nicole got out of the elevator, she was met with Sean and Steve who were making their way to the conference
room.
Noticing Nicole, Sean and Steve stopped in their tracks." Nicole, you're here!"
"Yes, I am. What's going on?" replied Nicole.
"Next quarter's business meeting. Want to join?" asked Steve.
Nicole shook her head. She was not prepared for the meeting as she had just returned to the head office of Riddle
Corporation. 'Til pass. Just have the secretary pass the meeting minutes to me, along with the decision."
Sean and Steve agreed before excusing themselves and entering the meeting.
Nicole brought Patricia to her office.
"Ms. Riddle, the Ellison family has seemed to have abandoned the electrical component manufacturing factory, "
Patricia reported, handing a document over to Nicole.
"So soon?!" Nicole exclaimed. She did not expect to hear this so soon.
"He had probably anticipated and foreseen this coming. So he gave up competing with us entirely," Patricia
summarized.
'I didn't expect he'd give up so fast. The factory might not be able to sustain on their own for very long,' Nicole
thought to herself.
"Get someone to acquire that factory as soon as possible," she ordered.
'Since he gave up, I should take over it as the factory itself is
still in good condition. I have to thank him for leaving me with such a good opportunity. I also have to get Steve to
go acquire it as soon as possible. We have to act fast to get it off the market.'

Nicole picked up the document and started humming to herself as she began to work, feeling in a good mood.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed. Nicole picked up the device and saw that she had received a message from Lulu. She
quickly tapped open the message and was immediately brought into a group chat with Lulu, June, and Nicole in it.
Lulu: [Why didn't you inform me that you announced Nolan and Lana to the world?]
June: [I'm away on my honeymoon. I don't want to be bothered.]
Lulu sent a crying emoji: [It seems that we're not true friends after all.]
Nicole: [I'll buy you guys dinner once you get back from your honeymoon!]
Lulu: [You're not invited. Only the twins are invited.]
June sent a playful emoji as a response to her reconsideration.
Nicole: [Okay, then I guess I'll split my half of the bill for what I eat.]
The three of them chatted happily. Nicole was glad that their honeymoon was smooth sailing and were not affected
by what happened during their wedding. Nicole felt at ease as she told them to have fun.
