Chapter 2975


    Nicole gazed out the window, lost in thought. She was aware of the security measures Jared had put in


    ce for her, yet the car that had been trailing her from BayCorp was an anomaly. It was a vehicle she


    didn’t recognize, with upants she couldn''t identify.


    She was fairly sure it wasn''t connected to Scorpio. Her mind then drifted to Lawrence. In San Joto, he


    was one of the few who might have a reason to follow her.


    Time seemed to fly, and before she knew it, the workday was over.


    As Nicole left the building, she instinctively nced at the spot where the mysterious car had been


    parked earlier. A different car upied the space now.


    Without lingering, Nicole made her way to Jared''s car and got in.


    "Let''s go," she said to Max, settling into the seat.


    As they drove off, Max reported, "Mrs. Johnston, there was no trace of that car you mentioned."


    Nothing at all?" Nicole''s frown deepened. Were they dealing with someone highly skilled?


    "Correct. Our team arrived, but the car had already left, leaving no clues. They''re quite professional,"


    Max added.


    Jared, sitting beside Nicole, squeezed her hand reassuringly. "Arrange a driver for Riddle Corporation,"


    he directed Max.


    He then turned to Nicole, "You should have the driver with you whenever you''re alone."


    "Okay," Nicole responded quietly, touched by Jared''s concern and understanding the need for extra


    precautions.


    Jared instructed Max further, "Keep a watch, but don''t go too near."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Max nodded, grasping Jared''s strategy. They needed to appear less alert to coax the follower into the


    open.


    Nicole realized the subtlety of Jared''s n. She knew she had to act normally to avoid tipping off their


    tail. The game of cat and mouse had just begun, and they needed to be patient to draw out their


    mysterious follower.


    Upon their arrival at the kindergarten, Nicole and Jared picked up Nn and Lana, heading back to the


    Riddle residence.


    In the living room, Daniel and Gloria were present, along with Stanley and Tia.


    '' Nicole, Jared," Tia greeted them warmly as they entered.


    Nn and Lana, beaming with joy, rushed over to Tia. "Tia!" they eximed, embracing her.


    Tia affectionately ruffled their hair. "Have you two been behaving yourselves?"


    The children nodded eagerly. "Yes, we''ve been very good."


    "That''s my superstars," Tia said, her smile bright and genuine.


    Gloria, her eyes full of warmth, invited everyone to sit." Come, let''s all have a seat and catch up."


    They all settled downfortably.


    Nicole turned to Tia with a concerned but friendly gaze." How have you been? Everything alright?"


    Tia responded with a gentle shake of her head. "I''m fine. I just really missed Nn and Lana," she


    confessed.


    Realizing her words might have sounded too intense, Tia quickly amended, "I mean, I missed spending


    time with them."


    Gloria, who initially looked a bit puzzled, chuckled at Tia''s rification. "You''re always wee here.


    Feel free to visit whenever you like."


    "I''ll make sure to do that," Tia replied, her relief evident.


    Nicole offered a warm smile. "That''s great to hear. And if you''re feeling up to it, you can start picking


    Nn and Lana up from kindergarten again starting tomorrow."
