"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

"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.
"Yes, all have been notified," Nicole responded.
Jared tightened his grip on her hand, a silent message of support and shared resolve passing between
them.
Nicole couldn't help but smile at Jared's concern, her mood lightening." Don't be like that. I think our life
right now is pretty good."
Indeed, with him by her side, surrounded by family and friends, the present complexities seemed trivial
compared to the isolation and challenges she faced on Crescent Island.
"You deserve an even better life," Jared insisted, pulling Nicole close in a comforting embrace.
"It will happen, and soon," Nicole said, raising her eyebrows at Jared with confidence in her eyes.
After all, it was just Everett; even with the support of the Eastern Falcon, he couldn't do whatever he
wanted in San Joto.
Some time later, they made their way back to the Riddle residence.
Most of the lights in the mansion were off, leaving only the living room and hallway lights on for them.
Nicole and Jared, carrying the sleeping Nolan and Lana, took them to their rooms before going to rest
themselves.
The next day was sunny and bright.
After Jared dropped Nicole off at the company, he left.
Watching his car drive away, Nicole turned and entered the building.
"Ms. Riddle," Patricia approached, reporting in a low voice, "I've informed
Ellar." "Good," Nicole nodded, pleased.
"I wonder how Lulu is doing?" Patricia asked, slightly hesitant.
Lulu's voice then followed, "Don't worry, everything went smoothly on my end." "There she is," Nicole
turned to see Lulu approaching with a triumphant look on her face.
