Chapter 1984


    There was a hint of skepticism when Lawrence deliberately refused Nicole returning to the country. The


    excuse of him not having enough power and influence in San Joto was suspicious enough.

    ''Lawrence was a very cautious person to begin with. He never does things he''s unsure of.'' Nicole took


    a deep breath, as if to organize her thoughts. She stretched out her hand to Lawrence.


    "Thank you so much for always being considerate of me. But don''t you worry. Now that I''m home,


    you''re still my friend and it won''t ever change. I must congratte you for getting into Hustuaburg


    though if there''s anything you need help with. Don''t be afraid to ask me for help."


    novelebookNicole smiled brightly. Her face was filled with sincerity.


    Lawrence''s mood somewhat eased a little after listening to Nicole''s words.


    ''It seems like she believes me, which is enough for me.'' Lawrence reached out his hand to shake


    Nicole''s, smiling. "Alright, I should congratte you too, CEO of the Riddle Corporation."


    Nicole was taken aback. She blinked before replying, "How did you find out about this?"


    Lawrence smiled calmly. "It''s no secret actually. Your grandfather gave you all his shares. Everyone


    knows that the moment you''re back, you are to fulfill his wishes."


    Nicole sighed. ''Everyone seems to have epted this as reality. I guess it''s only me who feels like the


    responsibility is a huge burden.''


    "I''ve never managed apany before, so I''m not sure if I''m the right fit. This is such a huge


    responsibility for me."


    Nicole just wants to take care of her children without having to deal with suchplicated affairs.


    "Don''t worry about it. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime." Lawrence''s gentle look and


    reassurance made Nicole feel more at ease.


    "Okay."


    The two of them chatted for a little while more before Nicole saw Lawrence out. Sean and Steve had


    been watching both Lawrence and Nicole from the balcony since earlier.


    Steve smiled and asked, "Sean, what kind of person do you think he is?"


    "I don''t want toment on that. I have to check him out." Sean''s expression was serious. He felt like


    he should run a background check on Lawrence.


    "How much do you think you can trust his words?" Steve was still recalling the perfectly curated words


    Lawrence had said earlier. Steve was concerned if he had any ulterior motives.


    "It''s toote for nothing. I only believe half of his words," Sean said mercilessly.


    Steve looked at Nicole''s back and said, "But looking at Nicole. It seems like she really believed him."


    Sean smiled. "Don''t worry about it. She''s a smart person. You can''t hide the truth. It''s bound to be


    revealed sooner orter."


    Steve nodded, agreeing with Sean. Knowing Nicole''s intelligence, even if she temporarily believed him


    as she was the benefactor, it would not be long until she notices a problem.


    After Nicole had sent Lawrence off, Lana rushed to hug Nicole''s leg. "Mommy, is Daddy upset? He


    looked so sad when he left..."


    Nicole nced at her daughter pitifully before carrying her in her arms. "It''s okay. There''s nothing to


    worry about. Your dad is thick-skinned and wille back in no time."


    "Really?" Lana was a little skeptical.


    At the side, Noah joined in coaxing her. "Of course it''s true. He definitely won''t give up on Mommy like


    this."


    After Nn finished speaking, he could not help but to feel a little regretful. "Ugh... I don''t hope he''ll


    come back... Godpa is better than him."


    Nicole watched as her two children expressed their different opinions. She could not help but to feel a


    little dizzy.


    "You two. If you sputter anymore nonsense, I''ll ignore you both."
