Chapter 2051
"Mr. Johnston's investigating him|? Did something happen?" Sean's eyes widened.
In an instant, he had figured that things were not as simple as Nicole had described.
"Can you not be so astute?" Nicole flashed him a helpless smile.
All she had given him was a vague reminder, and yet, he had managed to intuit the complexity of this case.
However, she really did not want to burden her brother by getting him tangled in her own issues. Jared being on the
case was good enough.
"I'm right, then. But since you don't want to talk about it, I'm going to stop asking. Still, I must ask that you do not
hide it from us if you ever find yourself in danger," Sean offered, understanding Nicole's intentions.
"Sure." Nicole replied as she felt the warmth in her heart.
"Well then, let's start according to the plan," Sean said affirmatively.

Once they were outside, Steve gave Nicole a reassuring look and stated, "Don't worry. Things will go smoothly if we
follow your plan. Our uncles won't gain anything, no matter how hard they try to take advantage of us."
Nicole's lips lifted with confidence as she nodded. "Yeah."
Following the division of the Riddle family into multiple factions, all of her brothers had been managing their own
businesses each, allowing the Riddle Corporation to remain a legitimate entity to this day. For that reason, Nicole
would never allow anyone to jeopardize the foundation of the Riddle family, not even her uncles.
After parting ways, Nicole and Steve returned to their respective offices.
Knowing that Sean and Steve were busy resolving the issue concerning their uncles, Nicole relaxed, took some of
her documents out, and tended to those other tasks.
Hours passed in a blink, and with evening upon them, it was time for her to leave.
The second Nicole stepped out of the company building, she saw Jared's car. She quickly strode over to it and got
in.
"Come on, Lana's waiting for us."
Nolan was not in school with her today, so they could not help but wonder if Lana felt awkward being alone.
By the time they arrived, class had ended, and the kids were all lining up already.
"Mommy!" Lana ran to Nicole when she saw her.
Nicole lifted her up and asked, "Nolan wasn't with you today. Were you afraid?"
"Nope." Lana shook her head. "My best friend, Nona, was with me the entire day today."
Nicole was relieved when she heard that. She was glad that Lana had made herself a good friend even though she
had just started her classes here.
After Nicole had gotten into the car with her, Lana leaped into Jared's arms and greeted, "Daddy!"
"Good girl." Jared brushed her hair lovingly as he eyed her with a gentle gaze.
"Let's go home. Your brother is waiting for you." Nicole sat down, completely relieved when she saw that Lana was

"When did Nolan go home?" Lana asked as she widened her eyes.
"This afternoon," Nicole responded.
Lana was shocked. "He went to see our godfather. Why is he back so early?"
Lana thought Nolan would still be with Lawrence at this hour.
"How did you know?” Nicole was surprised. 'How did Lana know that Nolan went to see Lawrence?'
"Nolan said his tummy hurt, so our teacher brought him to the office to call our parents. After that, I saw our
godfather taking Nolan away, so I know he definitely called him," she replied.
Then, Lana continued in a matter-of-fact tone. "Obviously, Nolan just wanted to see our godfather."
'Otherwise, why would Nolan call him? He could've called Daddy and Mommy, or even Grandpa and Grandma!' she
thought.
Nicole's smile twitched when she realized how level-headed Lana was. 'These two are cheeky rascals. They're giving
me a headache.'
