Chapter 2216
'Oh no. Why do I get the feeling that Jared could see through me?'
Watching the interaction between father and son, Nicole felt frustrated. She noticed that Nolan inherited his
cunning behavior from his father, and it was not because of his early intelligence. She was afraid his deviousness
might rival Jared's when he grew up.
With a sigh, Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared. 'Who would get so calculating with his son.'
Jared remained calm because he felt Nolan deserved the lesson. 'Let's see if Nolan would dare to play these little
tricks again next time. He actually wanted to steal my wife away and matchmake her with someone else. This kid
needs a good beating.’
Meanwhile, Nicole could not really argue with Jared, knowing his intentions. She could only sigh and turn her gaze

"Of course, I want to go home," Nolan said in a huff. 'If I don't go back now, who knows where this meanie is going
to take Mommy again?'
Gritting his teeth, Nolan waved at Lawrence. "I'm going home, Godpa."
Lawrence smiled faintly. "It's getting late. Hurry home and rest."
"Yep," Nolan replied and went over to hold Nicole's hand." Let's go, Mommy."
Nolan intentionally did not mention Jared. He pulled Nicole to walk in big strides as if he wanted to leave Jared
behind.
Jared chuckled at Nolan's actions. He turned to Lawrence, pretending to be polite. "Thank you for taking care of
Nolan on behalf of us. We'll take him back now."
Immediately, Lawrence's expression became dark. That was a backhanded remark. Although it sounded normal, he
clearly understood the hidden message. Jared was not only scheming, but his sharp tongue also often left people
defenseless.
"No worries, Mr. Johnston," Lawrence responded, holding on to his last shred of sanity.
Jared smirked and left, only this time, his expression cold the moment he turned away.
From the investigation, they had gotten their findings.
Although there was no direct evidence, Max found out Iris contacted Lawrence when she left the company. Besides
that, Iris had even been to Genesis Group before. The two did not seem to have any interactions after that, but
everything seemed to fall into place if the both of them were working together.
Iris had made a deal with Lawrence, doing things that were detrimental to Johnston Group. 'Did she really think my
tolerance had no limits?'
"Max, make adjustments to all the unfinished projects that Iris has handled," Jared said with an icy tone.

should not have done anything so excessive.
"She's already done it," Jared said coldly.
Max was too stunned to speak. He lowered his head in agreement. "Alright."
Indeed, Iris had already done it. Even though she did not succeed this time, it did not mean Iris would stop there.
They had to be on guard.
Back in the car, the group headed to the Riddle family manor. Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Lawrence's gaze
darkened as the car drove away.
Gritting his teeth, Lawrence said with malice, "Jared Johnston, do you think you've won?"
There were things that were still yet to be revealed, no one can be certain of the final result.
"Mr. Leo," Ian whispered. "This matter had not caused any substantial damage to Johnston Group. Should we think
of other ways?"
