Chapter 2895
Dawn arrived eight hours later, with the sun showing its first blossom at seven. After breakfast, Nicole and Jared got into their car and made their way to Riddle Corporation.
However, Lulu was not the only one waiting for Nicole today, as Spencer, Samuel, and June were there as well.
"Have you heard from your men?" they anxiously asked upon spotting the couple.
"Charlie and Patricia are not back yet," Nicole replied. "Let's wait for them in my office."
"Alright." They nodded in agreement, after which they entered Nicole's office together.
After sitting down, Lulu gritted her teeth and asked, "Why have we not received any news from them? Are they in trouble?"
'No way," Nicole shook her head.
If something had occurred while they were on their mission, they would have gotten wind of it by now.
"Let's wait a moment," June advised in an attempt to calm Lulu down.
Though everyone was worried sick, there was little they could do but wait for word to return to them. The ones whose lives were at stake here were Charlie and Patricia, who were still out there, leading the fight. All they could do now was put their faith in the duo and trust that they would return bearing news.
All of a sudden, a series of knocks were heard at the door.
The instant she heard them, Nicole ordered. "Come in."
The door swung open, revealing Max, who walked in and greeted them. "Mr. and Mrs. Johnston. I hope all is well."
"You're back," Jared said. "Was the operation smooth?"
Nicole was a little shocked by Max's sudden appearance, but judging by the look on Jared's face, he had already known about his return.
"Yes, it was. Everything has been settled," Max said, approaching the couch before handing a file to Nicole. "This is for you, Mrs. Johnston. Zane asked me to send this to you.
