Chapter 3050
"Thank you," Nicole expressed her gratitude.
"Let's dig in," Maximillian said with affection.
During dinner, Maximillian turned his attention to Jared, concern etching his features. "I heard you've been quite busy recently. I was thinking of sending someone to help you out." "We don't need it for now," Jared responded calmly, his voice steady and reassuring. "We can still manage."
Maximillian's expression shifted to a slight frown. Despite not venturing out much, he remained well-informed about the happenings beyond his immediate surroundings. The situation, as he understood it, was somewhat complicated, and his concern for them was palpable.
"We already have someone helping US. Don't worry," Nicole reassured Maximillian with a gentle smile.
Seeing both of them insisting, Maximillian could only agree, "Alright then."
Then, looking at Jared, Maximillian hesitated before mentioning Everett, seemingly cautious because of Nicole.
"He has already shown his ambitions. We'll be on our guard against him," Nicole said, her expression turning slightly serious.
She understood the reason behind Maximillian's hesitation, but these concerns were not something new to her.
"Good, as long as you're prepared," Maximillian nodded, his worry evident. He trusted their capabilities and believed they would be fine as long as they were prepared.
After dinner and spending some time playing, Nicole and Jared, along with Nolan and Lana, left the Johnston family manor.
It was quite late, and Nolan and Lana fell asleep on the way.
Looking at her two children, Nicole's eyes softened with affection.
Jared gently held Nicole's hand and whispered, "Everett has started to act, and it's likely going to get even crazier from here." "Got it," Nicole's gaze deepened slightly. "He's already making moves against Ellar. It seems none of the other subsidiaries will be spared."
It appeared that Everett had returned with the intention of ensnaring Riddle Corporation and its subsidiaries in one fell swoop.
"Warn everyone to be cautious." A glint of cold determination flashed in Jared's eyes as he spoke.
