Chapter 2244
Jared's eyes glimmered with amusement as he nodded.
Once Nicole had entered the company building, Jared withdrew his gaze and ordered, "Drive, Max."
And after he had begun driving, Max said, "Mr. Johnston? We have gotten a lock on Iris."
"Good," Jared uttered, his voice cold and deep.
"Meanwhile, the funds on Mrs. Johnston's side look like they've been transferred, but the transaction won't go
through," Max added.
Jared narrowed his eyes, "How long till we can finalize all of this?"
"If everything goes well, tomorrow," Max said with utmost certainty.

Meanwhile, Nicole had just arrived at her office.
"The money has been transferred, and the bank has responded," Lulu informed Nicole in a whisper.
"Thank God," Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.
She was glad she could help Lawrence this time instead of the other way around.
"Oh, by the way," Lulu looked around, before she came closer to Nicole. "I heard Genesis Group seems to be hitting
a bump. Will this affect you?"
"It doesn't matter," Nicole responded nonchalantly. "Leo is indeed in trouble, but I'm helping him in my personal
capacity. Consider it a repayment of my debt. It'll be great if I've helped him, but even if things don't work out, I
won't be bothered about the trade-offs."
"You've got a point. But of course, there'll hopefully be no losses," Lulu shrugged her shoulders.
In response, Nicole teased, "Well then, you better pray on that."
"Oh, don't worry. I will," Lulu said, taking it seriously.
Nicole could not help but laugh at Lulu's sincerity as she herself was just joking.
Tilting her head in curiosity, Lulu asked, "Honestly, with what Lawrence is capable of, he usually doesn't need help.
What trouble could he be in that he needs to seek your help?"
Lulu always felt that people like Leo did not need help from anyone. If anything, he ought to be as strong as Jared,
and that nothing could ever trouble them. Lulu even recalled that she had never seen Jared being bogged down by
anything, not for a long time at least.
Hearing Lulu's words, a thought came to mind, and a flash of doubt crossed Nicole. She had not inquired much
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrom Leo about his situation. But Lulu's suspicions reminded her that Leo's strength was indeed not to be
underestimated. For him to seek her help this time meant that the situation must be quite dire.
Nicole frowned, her expression becoming solemn. She felt conflicted, unsure as to whether she should ask
Lawrence about his situation or if more help was needed from her to solve it.
Seeing that Nicole had become silent, Lulu tilted her head and asked, "What's up with you? Have you thought of
something?"
"No, it's nothing," Nicole came back to her senses and brushed the idea away. Since Lawrence had not made
anything clear and had only stated that it was a break in funds, it could only mean that things were not as serious
as she had thought.
Believing that he could sort his own issues out, Nicole then shifted the topic by saying, "Leo will deal with his own
problems. It's none of our business. How are things going with Snow?"
Hearing this, Lulu sneered. "Well, she's obviously hitting roadblocks everywhere."
Nicole's eyes widened as she imagined Snow hitting snags. And upon noting Nicole's expression, Lulu excitedly
spilled everything to her.
