Chapter 2652
"That's good." Gloria issued a sigh of relief. "I can't believe they're capable of doing such things. It seems like they've lost their minds. You've got to be more careful in the future."
"Don't worry, Mom," Nicole assured her. "I know."
She did not want Gloria to worry about her. Deep down, however, she knew that Chloe would not stop there since she had gone to such lengths to defraud them. Though Miley had taken the blame for her this time, there was no telling what would come next. As such, Nicole would find a way to corner Chloe, to make her face the punishment she rightfully deserved.
And now that Everett was still abroad, the only person who might have remained in contact with him was Chloe. If they arrested Chloe now, they might sever the only lead they had to him.
Nicole's eyes darkened when she thought about Everett. Ever since Lawrence had rescued a fleeing Everett from San Joto, he had not shown up at all. This led her to wonder what sort of deal the two of them had made, and what Lawrence would stand to gain out of it.
Not only did he take Everett away; he had also hidden him, sparing him further public and legal scrutiny. Her first school of thought was that Lawrence had not gotten what he wanted yet, and that Everett could help him out with it.
All of a sudden, Jared's gentle voice snapped her out of it. ’ Eat up."
In return, she looked at Jared and nodded. "Yup."
After dinner, Nicole and Jared went upstairs together.
Daniel, however, was concerned as he watched her leave. " Is she really okay?"
"She should be." Gloria said, having nothing but faith in Nicole.
Whenever Nicole said she was fine, she would usually be, and then there was also Jared. Besides, if something really happened, Jared would never sit idly by.
"That's good." Daniel shook his head in defeat.
