Chapter 2760
Nicole was dead serious. "Yeah, I can't back out now."
Zane pondered for a moment, whereupon he agreed, "Since we can't avoid this, we might as well work together
once more. However, you don't need to come over to HQ to do any field work. You can stay where you are now and
provide us with intel. Don't hesitate to let us know what you need help with."
'As long as she doesn't put herself in danger, there shouldn't be a problem,' he thought.
Nicole nodded. "Sure, no problem. I'll handle the side of things here at San Joto and leave the rest to you."
To that, Zane sternly replied, "Okay."
'If the Eastern Falcon is thinking of making a return, we won't hold ourselves back this time around,' Zane thought,
determined to bring his adversaries down.
Nicole sighed as she hung up and she reminisced about the days when she was still an active member of the
organization. Near-death encounters were commonplace back in those days.

Nicole tilted her head and looked at Jared with a smile on her face, "Yeah, I just called."
Jared gently ran his fingers through Nicole's hair. "He must've pulled all of his hair out worrying about you."
Nicole nodded in response, "Yeah, I know."
She could not imagine how terrible Zane must have felt upon learning that she had crashed.
After that, Nicole bit her lip and mumbled, "He said that I can officially resign from my post after we have dealt with
the Eastern Falcon."
Jared saw a flash of reluctance in Nicole's face, and so, he offered, "You know, if you don't want to resign, you don't
have to. You don't need to abandon what you love just because of us. You can keep doing what you enjoy."
However, Nicole shook her head. "I know I'm reluctant to resign, but sometimes, tough decisions must be made."
Nicole resonated to herself mentally, 'I've been missing for the past five years, and now, I have a family of my own.
I can't be running around with the organization battling criminals and mercenaries all the time. I guess my exit is
the best solution for both parties.'
Jared immediately caught onto what Nicole was trying to tell him, and gave her a back rub. "I want you to know that
I'll be here supporting you every step of the way."
"Thank you," she said, her heart skipping a beat.
Jared then looked at Nicole with a soft smile on his face." Go take a shower and join me in bed."
Agreeing with Jared's suggestion, she got up and made her way to the bathroom.
Shortly after, Nicole climbed into bed, wrapped herself in Jared's arm, and fell asleep with a smile of contentment
on her face.
The next day, the sun shone warm and bright as Nicole entered the headquarters of Riddle Corporation.
The instant she placed her belongings down, Lulu came walking into Nicole's office with a serious look on her face."
Take a look at this."
Nicole frowned as she grabbed the documents. Lulu's face, on the other hand, was scrunched up into a sour
grimace.
She was completely bewildered by Harvey's shameless behavior, "Like, what on earth is he doing? Is he dumb or

Nicole furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head. "I think it's because Thomas has rejected his proposal, and it's
driving him nuts."
"And so?" Lulu snorted.
'If Thomas has refused to help him, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that he'll go that far to screw with Nicole,' Lulu
thought.
With a sneer on her face, Nicole said, "He really believes that strengthening our ties together will benefit both
companies. However, he has not taken into account that it'll be much harder for us to separate what's ours and
what isn't.
Lulu blinked and gave Nicole a blank stare before the truth dawned upon her. "So what you mean is that he's doing
this on purpose to bind both companies together so that you'll never be separable!"
This made Lulu fuming mad. 'I do have to give it to him. Such a brilliant idea riddled with so much wishful thinking.
He really should know that we aren't mindless puppets which he could manipulate however he likes.'
"Yeah, I guess you can put it that way." Nicole sighed. 'This dude is becoming more juvenile with each passing day.'
Lulu looked at Nicole with a look of impatience written all over her face and asked, "What's the plan? Are we going
to take the upper hand in this situation or?"
