Chapter 1880


    "Hey! This is a school!"


    Indeed, it was, but Jared had paid it no mind and had gone in for a kiss just like that.


    "So what? You''re going to be my wife soon. Do I have to bother about what other people think when I


    kiss my wife?" Jared asked, feeling unbothered.


    Hearing that, Nicole was almost rendered speechless. "That''s enough. I''m not in the mood to talk to


    you."


    Then, she walked into the school, looking crestfallen. ''This b*stard always acts like that. I''ll have to be


    wary of him next time.''


    Noticing how skittish Nicole was, Jared got into the car happily. "Let''s head to the office."


    "Alright." Max replied and started the car engine.


    Soon, however, Max received a call. "Mr. Johnston, it seems that there''s an issue at the Riddle


    Corporation."


    Jared frowned a little. "Turn around and make our way to the Riddle Corporation."


    Since Max had mentioned to Jared that there was a problem, Jared must not take the matter lightly and


    brush it off.


    "Noted." Max nodded, after which he immediately turned around and went straight to the Riddle


    Corporation.


    That long day consisting of celebrations for the school''s anniversary had finallye to an end. After


    school was dismissed, everyone got busy again. Luckily, Gary and Ryder kept their promise and


    showed up to help. Furthermore, Samuel and Spencer were with Nicole the entire time too. Therefore,


    the job was made a lot easier for Nicole.


    However, it was already past seven by the time they were done with everything. The sun had already


    set when they reached home.


    Samuel massaged his back after he got down from the car. "Today was such a tiring day."


    Spencer heaved a sigh. "It was the same for me too. I do not wish to participate in the school''s


    anniversary celebrations anymore. Not even next year."


    Looking at how tired her two brothers were, Nicole said, "Thank you Samuel and Spencer. I''ll repay the


    both of you properly when I''m back during the weekend."


    Hearing that, Samuel hurriedly replied, "That was not what I meant. You''re the one who worked the


    hardest today. We were just there to assist you."


    Samuel was genuinely worried about Nicole, as she was extremely busy that day.


    Nicole could tell that her brothers were genuinely concerned about her, and so, she smiled. "Don''t


    worry, it''s just one day. You''ll be fine after a resting up for the weekend."


    "Yeah." Spencer nodded.


    However, when he recalled that Nicole and Jared were getting married the next day, his face darkened.


    "But you''ll have to go to Panem this weekend. You''re going to be so tired."


    ''It was all Jared''s fault for rushing everything this time. Did he have to be in such a rush to marry


    Nicole?'' Spencer wondered.


    Whenever Nicole thought of the matter, she would feel a sense of heaviness in her heart. Although she


    really liked Jared, the thought of getting married would give her this strange feeling. This had led her to


    think that she might have a fear of marriage. It seemed to her that something would change after they


    got married.


    "Let''s go and have our dinner first."


    After Nicole had spoken, she brought her two brothers in. But once she entered the house, the vibe in


    the living room felt heavy. Something just felt...off.


    The butler came over and asked, "Ms. Nicole, have you had dinner?"


    In response, Nicole said, "Not yet. You may prepare something."


    "Alright, I''ll get the kitchen to prepare some."


    Nicole nodded. Then, she brought the brothers into the living room.


    "Mom, dad, what happened? Why are the both of you looking so moody?" Nicole approached her


    parents and asked in a low voice.


    Gloria was not in the position to say much, and so, she only replied, "There was an issue at the


    company, and we almost got into trouble today."


    Nicole frowned. "What happened?"


    Daniel sighed and said, "Because of the split, the tax bureau came and went through our ounts.


    Since we''re going through the process of separation, Uncle Dillon''s department ounts were found to


    have not been cleared. So, the head office was affected too."


    An issue with the ounts was not a matter of minor significance. Nicole had already known earlier on


    that Dillon''s ounts had some ring problems. That was the reason as to why she wanted the


    company to split up.

    Yet, she did not expect the tax bureau to pay them a visit before they could split up.


    "Why did they suddenlye over for an inspection?" Nicole asked, confident with her sixth sense that


    something was fishy about this incident.
