"That's good." Gloria issued a sigh of relief. "I can't believe they're capable of doing such things. It

seems like they've lost their minds. You've got to be more careful in the future."

"Don't worry, Mom," Nicole assured her. "I know."

She did not want Gloria to worry about her. Deep down, however, she knew that Chloe would not stop

there since she had gone to such lengths to defraud them. Though Miley had taken the blame for her

this time, there was no telling what would come next. As such, Nicole would find a way to corner Chloe,

to make her face the punishment she rightfully deserved.

And now that Everett was still abroad, the only person who might have remained in contact with him

was Chloe. If they arrested Chloe now, they might sever the only lead they had to him.

Nicole's eyes darkened when she thought about Everett. Ever since Lawrence had rescued a fleeing

Everett from San Joto, he had not shown up at all. This led her to wonder what sort of deal the two of

them had made, and what Lawrence would stand to gain out of it. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Not only did he take Everett away; he had also hidden him, sparing him further public and legal

scrutiny. Her first school of thought was that Lawrence had not gotten what he wanted yet, and that

Everett could help him out with it.

All of a sudden, Jared's gentle voice snapped her out of it. ’ Eat up."

In return, she looked at Jared and nodded. "Yup."

After dinner, Nicole and Jared went upstairs together.

Daniel, however, was concerned as he watched her leave. " Is she really okay?"

"She should be." Gloria said, having nothing but faith in Nicole.

Whenever Nicole said she was fine, she would usually be, and then there was also Jared. Besides, if

something really happened, Jared would never sit idly by.

"That's good." Daniel shook his head in defeat.

Initially, they thought they had caught Chloe in the act. But now that someone had willingly taken the

blame on her behalf, it had become a bitter pill for them to swallow.

Miley really is cruel to herself." Gloria sighed.

"Or perhaps Damien and Chloe are just ruthless." Daniel's gaze darkened slightly.

Among the three of them, the father and daughter duo were the worst. Relatively speaking, it would

make more sense for Damien and Chloe to retain their autonomy. As for Miley, she had to face the

consequences regardless of whether she had done what she did voluntarily or under duress.

"Chloe has always hated Nicole and on multiple occasions, has even set her up. Now... well, forget it.

It's been so many years, so it's sort of pointless to talk about it. I just hope that Nicole will remain safe."

Gloria began praying, hoping that everything would turn out well for Nicole.

"She will be." Daniel comforted her with a gentle pat on the shoulder.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared had just entered Nolan's room.

Nolan and Lana were sitting in front of the computer, while the former seemed to be operating

something on an interface.

Upon hearing the door open, Lana spun around.

Spotting her parents, she immediately ran over with a beaming smile. "Daddy, Mommy, you're back!"

Jared picked Lana up and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Nolan is chatting with Godpa," Lana said, pointing to the computer screen.

Nicole's gaze followed Lana's finger, and when she saw Nolan, she asked, "Leo is online?"

"Yeah, Godpa said he is pretty free today and that he misses us, so he sent us a message." Nolan

stated. "He also said he's busy over there and might not be able to come back anytime soon."
