Chapter 2216


    ‘Oh no. Why do I get the feeling that Jared could see through me?’


    Watching the interaction between father and son, Nicole felt frustrated. She noticed that Nn inherited


    his cunning behavior from his father, and it was not because of his early intelligence. She was afraid his


    deviousness might rival Jared’s when he grew up.


    With a sigh, Nicole rolled her eyes at Jared. ‘Who would get so calcting with his son.’


    Jared remained calm because he felt Nn deserved the lesson. ‘Let’s see if Nn would dare to y


    these little tricks again next time. He actually wanted to steal my wife away and matchmake her with


    someone else. This kid needs a good beating.’


    Meanwhile, Nicole could not really argue with Jared, knowing his intentions. She could only sigh and


    turn her gaze toward Nn. “So, Mommy is here to pick you up. Do you want to go home?”


    “Of course, I want to go home,” Nn said in a huff. ‘If I don’t go back now, who knows where this


    meanie is going to take Mommy again?’


    Gritting his teeth, Nn waved at Lawrence. “I’m going home, Godpa.”


    Lawrence smiled faintly. “It’s gettingte. Hurry home and rest.”


    “Yep,” Nn replied and went over to hold Nicole’s hand.” Let’s go, Mommy.”


    Nn intentionally did not mention Jared. He pulled Nicole to walk in big strides as if he wanted to


    leave Jared behind.


    Jared chuckled at Nn’s actions. He turned to Lawrence, pretending to be polite. “Thank you for


    taking care of Nn on behalf of us. We’ll take him back now.”


    Immediately, Lawrence’s expression became dark. That was a backhanded remark. Although it


    sounded normal, he clearly understood the hidden message. Jared was not only scheming, but his


    sharp tongue also often left people defenseless.


    “No worries, Mr. Johnston,” Lawrence responded, holding on to hisst shred of sanity.


    Jared smirked and left, only this time, his expression cold the moment he turned away.


    From the investigation, they had gotten their findings.


    Although there was no direct evidence, Max found out Iris contacted Lawrence when she left the


    company. Besides that, Iris had even been to Genesis Group before. The two did not seem to have any


    interactions after that, but everything seemed to fall into ce if the both of them were working


    together.


    Iris had made a deal with Lawrence, doing things that were detrimental to Johnston Group. ‘Did she


    really think my tolerance had no limits?’

    “Max, make adjustments to all the unfinished projects that Iris has handled,” Jared said with an icy


    tone.


    “Why… Mr. Johnston, she wouldn’t possibly dare!” Max eximed. He believed if Iris had not gone


    insane, she should not have done anything so excessive.


    “She’s already done it,” Jared said coldly.


    Max was too stunned to speak. He lowered his head in agreement. “Alright.”


    Indeed, Iris had already done it. Even though she did not seed this time, it did not mean Iris would


    stop there.


    They had to be on guard.


    Back in the car, the group headed to the Riddle family manor. Meanwhile, inside the mansion,


    Lawrence’s gaze darkened as the car drove away.


    Gritting his teeth, Lawrence said with malice, “Jared Johnston, do you think you’ve won?”


    There were things that were still yet to be revealed, no one can be certain of the final result.


    “Mr. Leo,” Ian whispered. “This matter had not caused any substantial damage to Johnston Group.


    Should we think of other ways?”
