Once they heard that there were people who had their eyes on the technology, Sean and Steve's faces darkened. "How is Jared? Did he get hurt?"
Nicole shook her head, "He's fine too. It's just that the technology has been stolen by those people."
"What?" Samuel and Spencer were shocked. "It really got stolen!?"
"Who are they? They had actually caused such a massive scene just to steal something?" Spencer said, terrified as he had never witnessed such a scenario before.
"I guess they are from The Raven, but we're still in the midst of verifying that."
Although Nicole knew very well that it was The Raven's doings, she did not confirm it.
Daniel breathed a sigh of relief. "Regardless, what matters the most is that all of you are safe. We'll try our best to retrieve it."
"Yeah, Jared will find a way." Nicole said confidently.
When the family saw that Nicole was unbothered, they did not continue asking.
At that instant, Nicole saw how bad Samuel and Spencer looked and proceeded to question them. "Why are you guys looking like that? And also, how did you guys know that I was in trouble?"
The case was still under investigation by the police so there should not be any news about it yet. That was why it puzzled her as to how they had found out.
Samuel and Spencer froze for a moment, after which they awkwardly replied, "Actually, we wanted to have a look at the technology of the manned flying car but the guards did not let us in no matter what."
"Then, I heard the shootout and quickly ran away."
As Spencer was explaining himself, he was still terrified by the incident.
Nicole had no idea that those two had followed her there without gaining entry to the place. They had almost gotten involved in a gunfight. How perilous would it be if they were truly caught in the crossfire?
With that in mind, Nicole became furious. "Spencer, Samuel, if you guys wanted to go, why didn't you inform me? I could've brought the both of you in. But with today's situation, do you know how dangerous it is?"
Spencer and Samuel instantly felt guilty. "We did not expect things to turn out this way...Nicole, please don't get mad at us."
Stanley saw how terrified the two boys were, and that was when he interfered and begged, "Nicole, they are already in shock by the incident. Please, let it slide."
Nicole sighed. "I'll just take this as a lesson for the both of you. I will let it slide this time around. Do not follow me ever again."
"Okay," they said, as they had expected to get into trouble of this scale during their first time tailing her.
Nicole then remained quiet, during which Tia wheeled Mrs. Wallace Sr. out of her room.
Seeing that the whole family was surrounding Nicole, Mrs. Wallace Sr. could not help but ask, "What happened?"
Everyone looked at Nicole, who immediately caught on with a smile, "Grandma, there's nothing going on. I'm taking a break today, so we were discussing what to eat for dinner tonight."
"Really?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. smiled, "In that case, I won't join the discussion. I want Tia to bring me out for a walk.
"Alright." Nicole heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Mrs. Wallace Sr. had settled into the Riddle family manor, Nicole had been busy throughout the entire time. During the day, she had no time to spend with her grandmother, and at night, Mrs. Wallace Sr. would sleep early.
After that, Gloria pulled Nicole over and caressed her cheeks. "Nicole, you can't get into any more trouble. You must protect yourself."
"Don't worry, Mom. I will," Nicole comforted.
Then, the whole family decided to let Nicole off so that she could get some rest in her room. In the meantime, Spencer and Samuel were still in shock, so they returned to their rooms as well.
After Nicole had showered, she received a message on her phone. As it turned out, Howdy Corporation had finally transferred the money to her.
Nicole could not help but laugh, as she really did not expect that she would be able to scam Howdy of their money with such ease. All she had to do was to give them some information, and they had already sent the money to Nicole. In truth, they would probably crumble into tears once they realized how useless that information was.
