Chapter 1736
"Who knows..." Sean took a deep breath. "But it's an honor to have a sister such as herself." "Yeah, that's true.'
Steve smiled and said with a sigh of relief. "I wish to head home and get some rest too. I believe things will go
smoothly from here on out." "Yeah, it will be." Sean smiled as he walked out alongside Steve.
In the meantime, Samuel and Spencer had heard Nicole's voice echoing from upstairs, only to find Sean and Steve
walking out.
"How was it? Sean? Steve?” they asked.
"Nicole should never be underestimated!" The looks on the faces of the brothers were to be expected, as they had
hoped to get the scoop on everything that had happened.
Steve could not help himself from shooting a glance at Sean as he put on a show of deliberate vagueness in front of
both Samuel and Spencer. "She's really brilliant! The problem was a piece of cake. You two don't have to worry
about anything." "How did you solve it? Tell me everything about it!" Samuel bombarded, as he really wanted to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthear about the details.
"It was nothing, you won't even understand what we did even if we tell you about it. Let's go." Steve said while
hooking his arm around Samuel's shoulders, leading them toward their rooms.
"No! I want to hear it!" Samuel yelled, struggling under Steve's grasp.
Meanwhile, Spencer looked at Sean. "Sean...are you also planning not to tell me?"
Sean smiled, "There's really nothing much to tell, honestly."
Nicole herself had not talked much about her own identity, and thus, she had not truly given Sean the right to tell
others about it, especially to Samuel and Spencer, who were known to gossip around, and who might leak valuable
information to others.
"Alright then, I won't waste my time. I'll ask her myself." As soon as the words had left his mouth, Spencer walked
away with a look of disappointment.
Sean then returned back to his room with a smile on his face. Nicole, on the other hand, was already back in her
room, ready to take a shower.
Soon after, Nicole stepped out of the shower, whereupon her phone beeped. It was a text message from Anna.
[The crew has found out some hints, they are due to return tomorrow.] [OK.] Nicole replied, but before she was
able to put her phone down, her phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Lloyd.
"Nicole, how...urn, have you been resting well?" Lloyd was surprised for a moment there when Nicole answered his
call.
He did not expect Nicole to answer his call so instantaneously.
"I'm great, have you found out much about the matter?" Nicole raised her eyebrows.
Lloyd nodded his head. "Yeah, we've discovered the truth. I'll bring that perpetrator over when you come back
tomorrow, so that they can apologize to you in person." "Okay." Nicole nodded. 'It was good that things played out
the way I wanted them to be. I don't want Jared to get all worried about me.'
The phone call dropped into a dead silence with Lloyd not uttering a word.
This prompted Nicole to speak up. "Is there anything else you need?" "No... I'm just worried about you. Don't worry
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabout the follow up scenes. I will definitely conduct an on-site inspection," Lloyd said in an attempt to reassure
Nicole.
"No worries. I'm not some princess who can't handle some hiccups here and there. There are things that we can
and cannot control," she replied.
Nicole was clear about her motives when she asserted that she did not require anyone's protection or owe anyone
favors.
"Okay then...l get it. Good night." Lloyd said.
He was reluctant to hang up, but he could not think of any other topic about which he could converse anymore.
"Yeah, you too." Nicole nodded and hung up.
She then laid down on her bed and sent Jared a message.
'He seems to be very busy today. He hasn't gotten back to me even after I've sent him two texts in a row...' Nicole
thought, after which she turned her phone off and went to sleep.
Meanwhile, the party had come to an end as Jared walked out of it to see that Nicole had sent him texts that left
him grinning from ear to ear.
'Wow, now this is progress. Her taking the initiative to speak to me.'
Without thinking twice, he then called Nicole.
