Chapter 2055


    "Forget it, then. She has already made a move against us, so we can''t just sit back and do nothing.


    From now on, let''s just focus on managing thepany," Damien said.


    Damien believed that if there was no evidence, it meant that there was nothing wrong. In the end of the


    day, the conclusion was still the same – they could not allow Nicole and her family to be the ones with


    the upper hand. All of them had the right to inherit the Riddle family''s wealth and power.


    Damien squinted as he thought about the inheritance, revealing a sinister glint in his eyes. They were


    so close to seeding when Mr. Riddle Sr. was at his limits, but Nicole just had to return and treat him.


    ''How infuriating!''


    "Got it," Everett responded.


    However, he did not wish to give up. He had a feeling that Nicole was shrouded in a veil of mystery,


    and whatever it was that lied behind that veil was crucial for them and their sess.


    Leaving the office, Everett ordered his assistant, "Continue the investigation. As for Harmon Trading,


    just let them take care of it themselves. They shouldn''t being to me anymore. I don''t need idiots."


    "Yes, sir," the assistant responded respectfully.


    Everett then strode into his own office with an eerily gloomy expression on his face.


    The sun was bright in the afternoon, and Nicole was taking a power nap on the couch in her office after


    eating her lunch.


    It was then that two knocks on the door were heard, prompting her tozily respond by saying, "Come


    in."


    The door opened, and her secretary appeared standing at the door. "Miss Nicole, Mr. Lawrence is


    here."


    "Leo?" Nicole snapped out of her thoughts as she was surprised to see Lawrence there all of a sudden.


    "Sorry to disturb your rest." Lawrence entered with a smile.


    "Not at all. Please have a seat," Nicole replied as she gestured for her secretary to prepare some


    coffee.

    Lawrence took a seat, whereupon a curious Nicole asked, "What brings you here all of a sudden?"


    "I''m afraid you will never invite me over if I didn''te," Lawrence yfully said.


    Feeling a little awkward, Nicole tried to exin herself, "Our coboration has been going smoothly, so


    there really isn''t anything in particr for us to discuss."


    She also thought they were rather busy with their lives, so the act of reaching out without a specific


    reason might only serve to disrupt or affect Lawrence''s work.


    There was a slight hint of darkness in Lawrence''s eyes as he paused for a second. "I remember you


    said that we''re friends. Is work all we have to talk about, and nothing else?"


    "Of course, we''re friends." Nicole smiled as she knew that this was a fact that would never change.


    "Your coffee, Miss Nicole." The secretary ced the coffee on the table before exiting the room.


    Nicole gestured for Lawrence to have his coffee and in a casual tone of voice, she asked, "Did you


    really juste for a chat?"


    "Not really." Lawrence smiled. "I''m interested in a project by Interster International. However, they


    have stated that they want a thirdpany to coborate with us."


    "Why?" Nicole asked, puzzled. Interster International was powerful, and it was safe to say that


    Lawrence was no slouch himself, in spite of the fact that he had only been in San Joto for a short


    amount of time. Therefore, she could not help but wonder why they would want a thirdpany to


    coborate with them.
