“It’s nothing.” Nicole grabbed the glass of juice. “Let’s eat.” “Okay.” Lawrence did not pursue further, though he was still looking at Nicole sentimentally.
Nicole seemed to be oblivious to the peculiar expressions on Lawrence’s face, as she was focused on taking care of Nolan and Lana while they were eating. However, deep down, Nicole felt that Lawrence had been acting strangely.
In the afternoon, Jared came to pick Nicole and the children up-
After bidding farewell to Lawrence, Nicole left Lawrence’s mansion with Nolan and Lana, before following him into the vehicle. Watching as the car drove away, Lawrence’s gaze grew even darker and colder.
Jared and Nicole were about to get married, and this news had done nothing but driven him crazy. Besides, Nicole’s obvious infatuation with Jared had made it even harder for him to accept this. With that in mind, he could absolutely not allow such a thing to happen. To him, Nicole must never be allowed to marry Jared.
“Mr. Royce, they’ve already left. You should go back.” Ian reminded him in a low voice.
Lawrence shot a glance at Ian and gritted his teeth, his voice cold and deep. “Tell Iris to act swiftly, or else she’ll have to attend Jared and Nicole’s wedding.”
“Yes, sir,” Ian respectfully agreed.
Lawrence then turned around and entered the mansion, while Ian followed his instructions and messaged Iris.
To that. Iris replied, [We’ll have results soon.]
He then pocketed his phone and strode into the mansion to report the situation…
On the other side, Jared was on a steady journey home.
“Is there something on your mind?” Jared asked softly as he noticed that Nicole seemed to be contemplating something.
“No.” Nicole shook her head, not mentioning her doubts about Lawrence.
She felt that she had not figured things out for herself just yet, so she should not throw this topic around casually for now.
Jared’s eyes narrowed a little. He had a gut feeling that something was bothering Nicole, but she did not seem inclined to talk about it.
Lowering his gaze to her, Jared’s eyes glinted with solemness. What is it that she does not want to say? Is it about Lawrence?’
Suddenly, Max’s phone rang.
He answered it via Bluetooth, and after a moment, Max’s expression became grave. After hanging up, he shot a bullet of a glance at Jared through the rearview mirror. Without saying anything, he gritted his teeth and floored the accelerator.
Jared squinted a little as he observed Max’s actions, and before long, they arrived at the Riddle residence.
After Nicole and the children had gotten out of the car, Jared remained still and told Nicole, “There are some matters at the company that I need to tend to. I’ll go to HQ first.”
Feeling a strange heaviness in the air, Nicole did not inquire further and simply agreed.
“Alright, go ahead.”
After a slight nod, Jared instructed Max, “Drive.”
“Yes, sir.” Max acknowledged and brought the engine to life.
After passing through the gate, Max’s expression became grim. “Mr. Johnston, there’s a problem with the project we were discussing. Mr. Dalton said that the data we provided was incorrect, leading to significant errors in their subsequent operations. The losses this time are pretty bad, and Mr. Dalton wants an explanation from us.”
“How could the data be incorrect?” A cold gleam flashed in Jared’s eyes.
“I’m not sure. Normally, the data would not have been wrong. We’ve already verified it on our end,” Max replied, expressing his confusion.
He was familiar with the data and genuinely believed that there should not be any issues.
“Get someone to investigate and find out.” Jared ordered in an icy tone of voice.
If Max was certain that there could not be any issues, yet problems still arose, it could only mean one thing – something must have happened in between.
“I’ve already assigned people to investigate, but we have not received any results yet,” Max replied.
