Chapter 870
Sean was ttered and hastened to humble himself and praise Nicole.
“It’s mainly because Nicole knows Mr. Harmon. Otherwise , we wouldn’t necessarily have won the
tender, no matter how beautifully done the bid documents were."
"You know Mr.Harmon?" Jared asked , looking over at Nicole in surprise.
"Do you remember when I saved an old gentleman in the hospital earlier?” Nicole helped Jared recall
what had happened.
“I remember that.”
“That old gentleman is Mr.Harmon’s father.”
After Nicole exined this, Jared immediately understood.
"Looks like you weren''t wasting your time that day." Jared joked.
"What are you talking about? I didn''t even know about the old gentleman’s rtionship with
Mr.Harmon.Besides, I didn’t save him because of Mr.Harmon." Nicole hurriedly exined herself, afraid
that Jared would think it was a premeditated act.
“I know.I was just teasing you on purpose." https://novelebook/home1
"Aegis Corporation is still quite demanding, project wise.If you need any help, just let me know." Jared
looked at Daniel and Sean.
“Thanks a lot, Mr.Johnston.”
“The meal is ready.Come and eat." Gloria came into the living room to tell everyone.

"Jared, I didn''t know what you like to eat, so I picked something Nicole likes and made some.Nicole is
always with you, so I thought perhaps what she likes, you might like too.”Gloria smiled and exined,
worried that Jared would think too much.
“You’re right.Whatever Nicole likes to eat, I like too." Jared inadvertently acted lovey-dovey in front of
the elders.
Nicole hurriedly fetched him some food to hide her bashfulness.
“Try it.My mom’s cooking is delicious.” Jared took a bite.
"It tastes great, better than what a five star chef cooks.”
“Eat a little more if you like it.I can tell you have lost some weighttely." Gloria''s face beamed when
she heard Jaredpliment her on the delicious cooking.
After the meal, Jared sat for a while before leaving.Daniel and Gloria saw him out and invited him to
come again when he was not busy.
The family sat around the couch talking.After seeing Jared out, Daniel was nowhere to be seen.
Nicole guessed he was in his room.She came in front of the room and gave it a knock.
"Come in."
"Dad, why aren''t you in the hall chatting with us? What are you doing here alone?” Nicole walked in
and saw a preupied father sitting in his chair in deep thought.
"Nicole, there''s something you may not know yet; recently your mother and Norah have been in contact
frequently.Norah''s parents met with a car ident, and both are now hospitalized.So no one is taking
care of Norah." Daniel hesitated for a long time but decided that he should tell her.
Once Nicole heard this, and after associating it with Gloria''s strange behavior on thest two
asions, it all made sense.
"How are they?" "They are injured, but the good thing is, it’s not life threatening.”
“Your mom is too soft-hearted.When Norah had hysterics, your mom gave her half a million dors
privately.At first, she kept that from me.But when I found out, she told me she could not bring herself
not to help Norah because she had raised Norah for over ten years." Daniel sighed helplessly.
“Norah is too much.Didn''t you give her half a million before? Why is she stilling for money?” Nicole
said in anger.
"I am also angry about this, but your mom said that the money has been given out, and there is no
point in talking about it now.Do you think she is unaware of what she is doing?”
“But I made her promise that this was thest time she would give Norah money,and she agreed.For
the time being, we will just have to watch and see.” Daniel felt better after telling what was bottled up
inside him.He had been upset since he knew about it.
“In that case, you shouldn’t get upset anymore.I will not live on campus for the next few days.I will
return to stay with mom more often." Nicole had a n in mind.
Daniel nodded.
“Please pretend you don’t know about this.”
