Chapter 3123
Nicole gently patted Nolan's head and said softly, "You don't need to worry about this."
The situation with Doretta was indeed complicated. Nicole was grateful that she had
managed to persuade Gloria to rethink her approach, at least temporarily. She hoped that
after Gloria talked to Emma, some of the pressure on Ellar would ease.
However, Nicole knew that Doretta’s matter couldn't wait any longer. It needed to be
investigated thoroughly and soon.
When Nolan noticed Nicole's serious expression, he frowned slightly, becoming more
curious about Doretta.
After putting Nolan and Lana to bed, Nicole and Jared returned to their room.
Jared gently stroked Nicole's hair, his voice soft as he reassured her, "Don't worry,
everything will be alright."

She understood Jared's confidence that the situation would be resolved, but she couldn't
shake her anxiety. With Everett pressing hard and Emma unaware of the situation, wanting
Doretta as Ellar's wife, Nicole felt it was necessary to inform Patricia so she could be
prepared.
Seeing Nicole lost in thought again, Jared took her hand. "It's late, let's go to sleep."
Nicole snapped back to reality and smiled at Jared.
Jared shook his head, his eyes full of affection. 'She's consumed because she cares deeply
for the people around her, but does she realize how much it pains me to see her worry?'
Lightly tapping Nicole's nose, Jared then scooped her into his arms.
Nicole wrapped her arms around Jared's neck, resting her head on his shoulder, her eyes
brimming with contentment and happiness.
Returning to the bedside, Jared gently laid Nicole down and smoothed her hair away from
her forehead. He then tenderly kissed her there.
Nicole smiled and reached up to wrap her arms around his neck, pulling him closer for a
kiss on his lips. Her laughter was soft and teasing as she gazed at him.
Jared's eyes darkened slightly, and he felt a warmth in his throat, which he swallowed.
Leaning in slowly, he gently kissed her lips, and Nicole responded instinctively.
The temperature in the room climbed steadily, and the air was filled with an intimate
warmth.

The next day dawned bright and sunny, marking the beginning of another busy day for
Nicole and Jared.
After breakfast, they left home together. Jared dropped Nicole off at Riddle Corporation
and watched her enter the building. He then turned to Max and asked, "What have you
found?"

"Doretta has been acting strangely lately, so Nicole suspects something might be off with
her and is investigating. Also, it seems like Everett is up to something big in the shadows,
but we don't have any concrete leads yet, " Max reported, his expression somber.
A cold flicker crossed Jared's eyes, and the temperature in the car seemed to drop.
Seeing Jared silent, Max cautiously asked, "Mr. Johnston, do we need to do anything?"
"Just keep an eye on things," Jared said after a moment of thought.
He understood that without a clear evidence, Nicole hadn't shared everything with him.
For now, he decided to let her continue her investigation while his people focused on
ensuring her safety.
"Yes, sir," Max acknowledged, then hesitated before adding, "The leader of the Eastern
Falcon might be under Everett's control. Perhaps we could use that to our advantage."
Jared's gaze narrowed, shrouded in darkness, and after a pause, he instructed, "Send
someone to probe."
"Yes," Max agreed.
