Chapter 2029
"Daddy, Mommy, remember to pick us up after school." Lana waved to them before walking in with
Nona.
"Wow, both of your parents came to drop you off. You''re so lucky! Only my mom came with me," Nona
said in jealousy and admiration.
Lana puffed up her chest smugly and responded, "Yeah, they''reing to pick us upter too!"
Seeing this, Nicole was left feeling really amused by Lana''s behavior. ''So this is how she is when she
gets what she wants. She just wants to rub it in everyone''s face. She''s just a little kid, after all.''
"Let''s go," Jared said.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
And after they had dropped the kids off, they left the ce for work.
When they arrived at the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation, Nicole strode into her office and the
secretary left after handing Nicole a file.
Her gaze darkened and she frowned when she looked at the documents.
As expected, Mr. Walker was restless for a reason. He had secretly been in contact with Damien, but
Nicole should have thought about it sooner, nheless. Damien was previously the one who was in
charge of thepany, so it was only natural for him to have his people around. Though Nicole''s
uncles each had their ownpanies to run, they might still deploy some of their personnel to keep an
eye on the headquarters.
During her absence in the past few years, Mr. Walker had been rather well-behaved, but now that she
was back, and with the fact that she had acquired both her grandfather''s shares and position as the
CEO of the Riddle Corporation had definitely ced him on edge.
Unfortunately, though Damien had hidden his agendas and intentions well, tucking them where nobody
would suspect anything, he had gotten himself a useless ally.
''It was just too obvious. Were they not expecting me to get all suspicious?'' she wondered.
Nicole smiled coldly as she closed the file. Both Damien and Dillion were suspected of harming Mr.
Riddle Sr. Though the doctor was nowhere to be found, Nicole still believed that both her uncles would
eventually unveil their true colors, and now was a good time for her to give them a nudge.
''Let''s put this Mr. Walker to good use,'' she thought.
In the evening.
Nicole and Jared went to the kindergarten to pick their kids up, but it was then that they discovered
someone else had taken both Nn and Lana.
At the same time, Lawrence was standing by the road with both of the little ones. Nn was looking up
and saying something to Lawrence. Judging by the smile on his face, he was probably talking about
something good that had happened in the kindergarten on that day.
"Nn, Lana." Nicole got down from the car and called out to her children as she made her way toward
them.
"Mommy!" Lana opened her arms, as though asking for a hug, and ran up to Nicole.
Jared was walking behind Nicole, and after Lana had hugged Nicole, she leaped into Jared''s arms at
once. "Daddy!"
Jared held her up and stared at Lawrence. At that moment, the warm love in his eyes froze over. It was
Nn and Lana''s first day at preschool today, but Lawrence had already picked them up after they
were done with their sses. It seemed that he was pretty well-informed about Nicole and her kids.
Lawrence shrugged when he noted Jared''s gaze. "I heard the kids were going to preschool, so I paid
them a visit."
"It seems to me that you''re not busy with your Genesis Group, Mr. Royce. That exins why you''re so
free to show up anytime, eh?" Jared remarked, sounding as though he was warning Lawrence.
Though Lawrence had imed that he was just Nicole''s friend, there were still boundaries that should
not be crossed.
He did not have the right to pay this much attention to Nicole. In fact, it could even be argued that he
was monitoring them. If no one was watching Nicole every day, it would be impossible for Lawrence to
get such detailed information about her and the children.
Lawrence knew what Jared was trying to say, but he ignored it anyway. He was adamant about getting
his hands on Nicole, and for that reason, he was not going to back down.
