Chapter 1557


    Actually, Nicole had already agreed to let him off the hook. However, those otherpanies did not


    wish to risk crossing Nicole and her family. They were afraid that they would be dragged into the dirt


    with the Fishers, so they quickly revoked their partnership with them.


    "Because of you, ourpany is in a crisis. Many projects are now on hold, so we won''t be having any


    ie anymore!"


    Fiore’s father grabbed a tuft of his hair and wrenched it, as he did not know what to do.


    Fiore finally pulled herself together, as she began to grow anxious. "So, that was why my dad was


    being extra nice to Nicole.However, I was foolish enough to go and stand up against Nicole in front of


    everybody...’


    ‘But even if he does sever ties with me, there''s no way we could rebuild ourpany,’ she thought.


    "It''s all Nicole''s fault! She''s definitely picking on us! I''m going to kill her!" Fiore hung up as she went


    on to dere war on Nicole.


    "Hello?! Fiore!" her father yelled, but he realized toote that Fiore had already ended the call.


    He then tried calling her back, but to no avail. ‘’Sh*t! Fiore doesn''t know that Nicole has already


    agreed to let our family go.That is why she''s so set on the idea that Nicole is picking on us! God damn


    it!’’

    As soon as he thought about the things that Fiore was going to do to Nicole, his knees went weak.


    Nicole could forgive their family once, but what about the next time?


    ‘’If Fiore tries to do anything funny again, it''s going to be our family''s undoing!’’ he panicked.


    With no time to think, he rushed out of the house to stop Fiore...However, Fiore had already


    ordered her aide to trace Nicole''s whereabouts.


    The butler, who had heard her call, advised her, "Miss Fiore, I think it''s best if you stop crossing her.


    We can''t afford to piss her off now."


    Fiore rolled her eyes. "Please, do you think she will let my family go even if I was in good terms with


    her? Our family is going bankrupt! She treated us like s*it, and I will not let it slide!”


    ‘She had already taken Jared away, and now she wants to send my family into bankruptcy! How can I


    turn a blind eye to this?!" she fumed.


    After an hour, Nicole and Zeke were finally done with their meal. Then, Nicole followed Zeke, who was


    too full to even walk, out of the restaurant and looked at him.


    "Nicole, how could you eat so little? The food is great here!" Zeke asked as he patted his stomach


    happily.


    Nicole replied, "You can''t eat too much good food. Look at you, you can''t eat dinner anymore, right?”


    Zeke chuckled. "My dad doesn''t let me eat out, so it''s only natural for me to eat as much as I can when


    I''m out here with you."


    Nicole shook her head in defeat. "Why would a rich kid from the military be so pitiful?’


    “Alright, I''m leaving now. You should go home,” she said.


    Zeke nodded before standing up abruptly. "Right, didn''t you drag me out here because you needed my


    help?"


    Nicole remembered the excuse she had used back there, so she waved it off and said, "It''s just an


    excuse to take you out. If you had stayed there after I left, your father and your grandpa would


    definitely have taught you a lesson...”


    After all, she had just embarrassed Mr. Guzman Sr. himself. If she had left Zeke behind, he might be


    using crutches to walk the next time she saw him.


    Zeke''s eyes became teary in an instant.


    "Nicole... You''re too good to be true! You''re a saint!”
