Chapter 2328
Lowering his head, Jared kissed Nicole’s lips without giving her a window of escape.
The next day, Nicole arrived at the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation as usual.
"Here are today’s documents," Lulu entered and placed the files on the desk.
As Nicole's gaze swept over the documents, her eyes were immediately drawn to the ring on Lulu's hand.
"The ring! What’s going on?" Nicole immediately questioned, sensing that something significant must have
happened last night.
Glancing at the ring, Lulu's cheeks flushed, and she coyly said, "Oh, uh, we've decided to get married."
"More like you've finally decided to marry Spencer," Nicole teased.
In response, Lulu bit her lip and nodded. "I've figured it out, so I proposed to him."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole's eyes widened in surprise. She was amazed that Spencer had acted so quickly this time, but she was taken
aback by the fact that it was Lulu who had proposed.
Caressing the ring, Lulu explained, "He prepared this ring when he proposed to me months ago. I just wasn't sure at
the time, so I've been keeping it. Now that I've made up my mind, I proposed to him."
"Nicely done," Nicole beamed.
Then, she lifted her gaze and suggested, "Shouldn't we celebrate? Let's all have a good time together."
This prompted Lulu to bite her lip again and reply, "Samuel can't go out yet, so I'll talk to June later. How about we
head to her apartment later? Dinner is on me."
"Alright then. Tonight it is," Nicole gladly agreed.
"I'll make a call," Lulu took a few steps to the exit, before she paused and turned around again. "How did things go
at the Riddle family manor yesterday?"
"All is well. Don't worry about it," Nicole replied, sparing Lulu the details.
She thought that the issue was in the past, so there was no need for Lulu to concern herself with it.
"Good to hear." Lulu smiled and strode away.
A slight smile tugged at the corner of Nicole's lips, feeling genuine joy for Spencer and Lulu.
Before long, three knocks were heard on the door, and Steve came sauntering into the room.
Noticing the folder in Steve's hands, Nicole raised an eyebrow, "You got the property deed back."
"Yes," Steve said, and placed it down on her desk. "Last night, Everett made a move, and the two people who
disappeared from the family manor have already left San
Joto. No one knows where they've gone."
"Finding them doesn't matter anymore. Let it be," Nicole said calmly.
Steve nodded in agreement before advising, "Make your way to Grandpa's place early today. They'd surely have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdiscovered that those people are missing by the morning already. They had probably also suspected that it's related
to the property deed."
Agreeing with Steve's suggestion, Nicole shot him a glance and replied, "Alright, I'll process these two documents
and head over."
"I'll leave it to you, then. If there's any new information about Everett, I'll let you know," Steve reassured.
He knew that as long as Nicole could clear the air by offering a succinct explanation, things should be fine on Mr.
Riddle Sr.'s end.
After handling the documents, Nicole jetted off, arriving at the Riddle family manor soon after.
Indeed, the atmosphere in the family manor was tense; everyone must have gotten wind of what had happened.
"Grandpa," Nicole softly greeted as she approached the couch where Mr. Riddle Sr. was sitting, lost in thought.
He looked up in surprise when he saw Nicole. "Why are you here?"
Nicole shot the housekeepers in the living room a glance, and that was when the old man realized why she had
shown up. "You can all head downstairs for now."
