"You have been given more shares than our father..." Spencer and Samuel were so surprised that they started to tell Nicole things she was not aware of.Hearing that, a headache began to set in for Nicole. 'Why did you give me so many unwarranted shares? I'm not short on cash. This is drawing so much unwanted attention to myself!'Deep down, she wanted to reach out by signaling to Mr. Riddle Sr. that she had something to say to him, but unfortunately for her, he seemed to have known her thoughts, and so, he added, "However, since she's still in school, so she will not be participating in the company affairs for the time being. As for now, all company affairs will be managed by Daniel and Sean. She'll join us once she reaches 20 years of age."Nicole could not even muster up a single word to voice her refusal.Mr. Riddle Sr. understood very well that he had not given Nicole any chance to decline, and once again, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause. As for Daniel, he had never

Harvey's eyes flickered with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth. Then, he reached out and wiped the blood away from his mouth."It seems that Mr. Johnston knows me well," he said.The social circle in San Joto was very small, and Harvey had avoided him as he knew that Jared could see right through him.With that out of the way, Harvey did not even bother to fake it anymore. "Or should I say that we're of the same breed?"His smile was sinister and smug, making Nicole fidget in a state of discomfort. She had a hunch before that Harvey had only helped her to make her forget that he had such a side to him."Ignore him, let's go." Jared said, not wanting to waste his time on him.Similarly, Nicole frowned and was prepared to leave when Harvey stopped her."Nicole, what do you even like about him?" Harvey asked.Nicole paused, it was only then she understood the reason for Harvey's current breakdown and his state of madness. 'Turns out that he hasn't figured it out yet.'Nico

' This idiot, Jared Johnston. It's just a minor injury, and he had to call Martin. He's really making a fuss out of nothing!' Nicole thought."You are well versed in medicine, but have you taken care of the wound yourself? You just simply cleaned it and went to attend the banquet," Jared retorted.He had hugged Nicole several times that night, and during that few times, he felt that her body was stiff. Now that he thought about it, his touch must have caused her a lot of pain."I cleaned it using the Beacon. The swelling will definitely subside tomorrow. There's no need to go to the hospital. I'm exhausted now. If you really care about me, just send me home so that I can get some rest." Nicole frowned and stared at Jared.Jared gazed into her eyes, but after being glared at by Nicole for a few good seconds, Jared could not help but take a deep breath. "Send her home.""Understood." Max nodded, after which he made a U-turn.Seeing that, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief.Jared felt

Nicole nodded, as she felt touched. "Okay."With Jared by her side, she felt safe.After he had dressed her wound and bandaged it carefully, Jared glanced at the time.Realizing that it was quite late already, he got up and said, "You should get some rest. I'll go home now."Due to the fact that she was injured, Jared did not wish to keep her from getting the rest she needed."Alright, let me walk you out," she offered.In response, Jared teased, "It's fine. If you really want to send me off, give me a kiss."Those flirtatious words immediately prompted the butler and the other servants to look away.Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "What a joke. Quick, go home! I don't want to send you off anymore."Jared was teasing, but it was then that he threw himself forward, quickly stole a kiss from her lips, and moved away at once.Nicole's face instantly became bright red, and she quickly shot the butler a glance.Luckily, they had turned away and were not looking at the couple.See

And indeed, Nicole immediately went offline after she had gotten what she wanted. Because she had gotten the evidence she was after, she did not wish to waste any more time.It was rather late already, and Nicole could also hear the voices of her parents and elder brothers downstairs. They were back.Then, she laid down and got some shuteye.She had a good sleep, but for Gary, he had a sleepless night as he was busy combating the system. He only managed to breach the wall once the sun was beginning to rise.Seeing that the security system had reverted to its usual state, Gary heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was thoroughly exhausted and dizzy by that point.'Who on earth is this talented b*stard? He could produce so many walls that are incredibly difficult to breach,' he thought.After Gary had dealt with the system, he looked at the coding interface again. Then, he suddenly realized that a sentence had appeared on the interface itself: [Congratulations.]Gary's face turned
