Chapter 2095
Nicole was at a loss on how to respond and so, she said,” Don’t sweat it. I feel much better now.”
She was too focused on cracking the system during the evening and had forgotten to catch a break.
However, she was all good now.
“You must rest, or I will make you,” Jared threatened, noticing that Nicole had no intentions of resting.
Nicole froze, smoothed her hair awkwardly, and averted her gaze. In all her shrewdness, Nicole did not
ask Jared about the methods he would employ to make her rest. She could already feel that his answer
would put her in an awkward position.
Helpless, Nicole did as she was told; sheid down and began to get some shuteye. This was the
safest option for her. Seeing that Nicole had settled down, Jared nodded in satisfaction and pulled the
nket over her.
“Just stay here. I’ll be back soon.”
After Jared had left, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. ‘Why do I feel so nervous when Jaredes near
me?’
Staring at the ceiling, Nicole got lost in her thoughts.
When Jared arrived downstairs, Daniel and Gloria asked with concern, “How’s Nicole?”
“She’s a little tired from work. She’ll be fine after some rest,”
Jared briefly exined.
“Ah well, Nicole has always been self-sufficient,” Gloria said, her eyes welling up with tears.
“Don’t worry, Gloria. It’s just that Dillion has been up to no good recently. That’s why she was a little
stressed out,” Jared reassured. “She’ll be fine soon.”
“What about Dillion?” Daniel furrowed his brows, his expression turning grim.
“Not much. He’s just interested in the inheritance and assets of the Riddle family,” Jared snorted coldly
and walked toward the kitchen.

Jared knew about the meeting Nicole had with Mr. Harmon today. When he saw Nicole in a bad mood
after work, he had figured that it was probably because of that.
Noting Jared’s reluctance to discuss the matter any further, Daniel and Gloria exchanged nces and
stopped asking.
“Oh well,” Gloria sighed, feeling speechless and helpless in the face of Dillion and Damien’s actions.
“I’ll inform Sean to take better care of Nicole,” Daniel said, cing his hopes on Sean.
After all, in terms of skill andpetence, Sean was miles ahead of everyone else.
“Don’t forget Steve. He’s in thepany too. Let them take care of their sister,” Gloria added.
“Mom, Dad? Don’t worry too much. If Nicole didn’t possess the capabilities, how could she possibly
secure the position of chairman? She’s just probably still not used to it,” Stanley said, having entered
the room and overheard the conversation.
“That’s easy for you to say. You don’t even care about your sister,” Gloria red at Stanley with dismay
written all over her face.
Hearing that, Stanley immediately felt aggrieved. “How can I not worry about her? With everything
we’re capable of, Nicole will have no worries if she stays at home all day, doing nothing. But do you
think she would be happy with that?”
If they were worried about Nicole, the best way was to not let her work. However, they all understood
that was not the life Nicole wanted. After all, Nicole had taken over thepany without any
reluctance, even though she had not regained her memories yet. It meant that, deep down, she was
still the same Nicole as before.
Daniel and Gloria exchanged nces, feeling even more heartbroken for Nicole because they knew
what Stanley said made sense. At that moment, Jared walked out of the kitchen with a tray of light but
nutritious dishes. He then went upstairs, taking big steps along the way.
“I’m back,” Spencer, who entered the house, announced.
Then, when he saw Jared going upstairs, he curiously asked, “What’s wrong with Mr. Johnston? Why’d
he take his dinner upstairs?”
“Nicole’s not feeling well,” Gloria exined the situation briefly.
Hearing that, Spencer expressed his concern. “Can she handle eating?”
“Mr. Johnston said she just needed some rest,” Stanley exined.
