"As if you're not scaring them enough,"
Jared said with an innocent look.
‘She gave us a status, but she doesn't want me to call her pet names?"
"Hmph.I'm not talking to you anymore," Nicole frowned.
At that time, their ride was in sight.
Just as Jared's car stopped, another car drove up and parked right behind his.
The door swung open, and a tall man walked out of the car.He immediately rushed over when he saw
Jared.
"Jared, you're back! I was wondering how could you just leave the company, but turns out you were out
fooling around with women! " Murphy said to Jared happily.
However, he stumbled when he noticed Jared's cold gaze, like a sharp knife piercing through him.
"Who's this?" Nicole asked coldly.
Since he was rude to Jared, she did not act nice.
Jared did not care about Murphy.
"Just a piece of trash," he said.
"You go. I'll handle it."
Nicole knew that Jared was capable of handling things himself, so she did not press further.
"Okay, I'll go back and rest. Meet you at your place for coffee tomorrow," Nicole replied.
"Okay,"
Jared nodded and watched Nicole get into the car sent by the Riddle family.
Murphy was furious at Jared for ignoring him while being lovey- dovey with a girl.
"Let's see how long you can keep this up! My eldest brother is back! He and my dad are waiting for you
to return to the company to give them an explanation!" Murphy said with a sinister smile.
Jared had been careful since his return, but they finally caught him in the act; an acting chairman,
leaving the company just to fool around with girls.
‘If he gets caught by Castor, he would definitely be kicked out of the company by dad!' Murphy thought.
"An explanation? Well, I guess it's time to give uncle and brother an explanation," Jared said.
Murphy's face turned pale when he noticed Jared's eyes darkened.
"What do you mean?" Murphy asked.
"You'll find out soon..."
Jared then lowered his head and got into the car.
Murphy was the one who wanted to call him out, but he was the one who got played.
‘He's bluffing.We'll see what he has to say for himself when he returns to the company!' Murphy
thought.
Nicole fell asleep in the car on the way back.She discovered she was brought to the family manor when
she woke up.
After questioning the driver, she found out that Mr.Riddle Sr.heard that she was back and called
everyone to welcome her home.
However, she knew that he wanted to ask her about Mr.Wyance.
' After all, I didn't have time to explain before I left"
Nicole pulled herself together and walked into the manor.She soon felt that the atmosphere was weird.
Daniel and Gloria were tending to guests with Mr.Riddle Sr in the hall at that time.
When Nicole got closer, she saw the people who were sitting on the couch across from them.
On the side was Norah, who had not been back in a while, and a poorly-dressed couple sat up front.
Sean was the first to see Nicole walk in.He quickly went up and said, "Nicole, you're back."
Everyone turned their heads when they heard this.
