"Yeah, it''s not that we don''t want to help; it''s just that we can''t do much," June agreed, knowing that


    adding to theplications wouldn''t help. Getting too involved might make things worse, especially


    with Everett being so ruthless, as seen with Emma.


    "Let''s not talk about these sad things right now. Everything''s okay for the moment, so let''s be happy,"


    Samuel suggested, raising his ss, "Come on, let''s drink." "Cheers," everyone said, taking a sip from


    their sses.


    "Mr. Johnston, Zane mentioned he''s leaving soon, and the matter you arranged with him is about to


    conclude," Lulu said. "Is it rted to Everett? " She was curious.


    "No," Jared replied calmly.


    "Oh," Lulu dropped the subject, thinking it was about Everett. Since it wasn''t, she decided not to ask


    more, considering it might be something she shouldn''t inquire about.


    "Let''s focus on the meal," Spencer suggested, noticing Lulu''s slightly uneasy look.


    Nicole, noticing this exchange, nced at Jared. "What''s going on with you and Zane?" She had also


    thought it was about Everett but now realized it wasn''t the case.


    "Sambawe," Jared mentioned a name.


    Nicole''s brow furrowed, and after a moment, she remembered the name."

    Isn''t that the leader of the Eastern Falcon?" "That''s him," Jared confirmed.


    The revtion shifted the atmosphere slightly as the group processed this information. The Eastern


    Falcon''s leader, Sambawe, was a significant figure, and his involvement implied the matter was of


    considerable importance.


    Nicole blinked in surprise. "What did you do to him?"


    She thought, ''Wasn''t he under Everett''s control?'' She knew Everett''s current power was partly due to


    holding Sambawe.


    "We just rescued him," Jared softly exined, looking at Nicole. "Zane has confirmed the situation, and


    the rescue operation is set tomence today." "Oh," Nicole nodded in understanding, realizing this


    was why Zane mentioned he would be leaving-it was all for this operation.


    After rescuing Sambawe, Zane would likely need his cooperation to thoroughly undermine Everett.


    The others, though they heard the conversation, understood the sensitivity of the topic. Jared''s


    decision to share such confidential information, treating them like family, was appreciated, but they


    knew better than to make unnecessaryments.


    Seeing everyone''s cautious expressions, Jared reassured, "I believe things will go smoothly. There''s no


    need to worry; let''s focus on our meal." "Okay, let''s eat," everyone chorused, returning to their dinner.


    After dinner, when Daniel and Gloria returned, Spencer, Samuel, and the others lingered a bit longer,


    inquiring about Benjamin''s condition.


    "Grandpa is fine. Our visit today was just to discuss some future matters," Daniel exined.


    "Future matters?" Spencer queried, puzzled, "Does Grandpa have other ns?"


    Daniel chuckled, "No, it''s about the session of the Riddle family. Grandpa intends for Sean to


    handle all matters concerning the Riddle family from now on." "That means Sean''s responsibilities just


    got heavier," Samuel remarked thoughtfully.


    "I believe Sean has been prepared for this for a long time. All we need to do is support him," Stanley


    added.


    Spencer nodded in agreement, "Right, Sean can definitely handle it."


    Daniel then turned to Nicole with a smile, "Grandpa also has a wish for your wedding with Jared."


    "We''re already arranging it," Nicole replied with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Our affair


    seems to have caused quite a fuss for everyone."


    The family''s support and interest in Nicole and Jared''s uing wedding were evident, reflecting their


    close-knit bonds and the shared joy in their collective anticipation of the celebration.
