Chapter 1768


    He was facing the window, but his eyes were fixated on his own reflection…


    His charming face now had a bandage over it, and he looked utterly disheveled.


    “Just wait and see. I will return these wounds to you.” ‘Just you wait, Jared Johnston.’


    And thus, it was now a battle between Jared, the bold lion, and Everett, the cunning fox.


    Everything hade to light, and so, Nicole had been living happily for the past few days.


    She did not have any problems with her schoolwork and would show up to film after sses. The


    recent scenes Nicole had shot rarely involved Lloyd, and so, she was mainly working with the other


    actors. All of it ran smoothly and the production pace increased tremendously.


    It was said that Chloe still refused to back down, and wanted to file awsuit against the Holder family’s


    crew. However, with the surveince footage firmly in their hands, winning was an impossibility for her.


    Chloe had not been discharged from the hospital yet, but she was already going around asking for


    money to fund herpany.


    While all of that was in motion, Nicole was just waiting for Jared and Lloyd’s investigation to be


    completed, so that she could sit back and reap the benefits.


    She fell deep into her thoughts after talking to Zane on the phone.


    On the other end, things were running smoothly for Jared as well. He had already found the key person


    and could already gain a rough estimation of where the Brave was located. When all of the locations


    were finalized, he would contact Zane andmence his operation.


    If they seeded, they might even be able to retrieve all of the Braves.


    When Nicole had figured it out, she went downstairs for breakfast. It was the weekend, and so, her


    family was at home. Nicole had gotten the weekends off because she had sped through the shooting of


    all of her scenes for the past few days.


    Samuel and Spencer were stunned when they saw Nicole walking down the stairs in carefree fashion.


    “Don’t you need to film today?”


    Nicole shook her head. “Nah, I’m done with the scenes that were scheduled on the weekends, so I can


    rest.” “Damn… You’re such a pro! I heard it’s hard to be an actress, and many of them tend to drag the


    production on. You’re awesome!” “Yeah, they shot my scenes first because they did not want to take


    more of my time. So, my scenes are back-to-back, and it’s more convenient for me since I’m the one


    who’s in control,” she exined, as it was obvious that the production process would be quicker if there


    were no mistakes on her part.


    “I’ll be working with other actorster, so I probably won’t be able to keep this pace anymore,” she


    added.


    She would not even know whether she would have free time to spare on the weekends.


    “That’s great. We’ve missed you.” Samuel looked at Nicole with deep longing in his eyes. “Ever since


    Mr. Johnston started taking you to and back from school, we’ve rarely seen you.”


    Nicole always got home after 10 pm, when they were already fast asleep.


    “Me too,” Nicole lied. She did not miss the noisy twins at all.


    Spencer chuckled and pulled out a seat next to him for Nicole. “Take a seat. Let’s have breakfast


    together.”


    The trio continued conversing as Stanley came downstairs, scratching his head. His hair was in a


    mess, and it seemed that he had been working untilte at night. He had probably even gone to bed


    without taking a shower.


    “Stanley, your dark eye circles are bing even more prominent,” Spencermented as he


    thought that Stanley looked ghoulish.

    Samuel too saw how disheveled he looked and with a sigh, he teased,” Yeah. You’re still at a healthy


    age, so don’t push yourself too hard. I fear that you might damage your kidneys.” “Shut up! Even if


    they’re damaged, they still won’t be as bad as yours.” Stanley barked back after Samuel had ribbed


    him.


    “Pfft! Want to duke it out? I’m the basketball team captain. What makes you think I’ll lose to a nerd such


    as yourself?” Samuel said, looking unconvinced.


    Seeing this, Spencer added fuel to the fire. “Good idea, but how are you going topare your


    kidneys? Only your girlfriends can do that for you.”


    Suddenly, Samuel and Stanley threw stare daggers at him as they bellowed, in unison, “Keep your


    mouth shut!”


    He was rubbing salt into the wound, as none of them had girlfriends, and Spencer wasughing so


    hard that he began tearing up.


    Samuel and Stanley’s faces turned red when they realized that Nicole was there too.


    Unable to stand it any longer, Samuel got up and smacked Spencer on the back of the head. “Shut up!


    I’ll beat you up!”
