Chapter 2020
"I’m fine," Nicole muttered, shaking her head. "I just didn't think there'd be such a big crowd. I've only interacted
with some of the collaboration partners. I didn't even have time to greet their plus-ones."
"There's no need forthat. You'll meet the people you need to meet at the end," Jared answered. It was unnecessary
to meet unimportant people.
"Who knew that I had so many connections in San Joto? But how many of my enemies showed up today?" Nicole
slightly narrowed her brows. No one held any hostility toward her today, not any that she could feel.
His eyes darkening, Jared said solemnly, "Don't dwell in the past. From now onwards, you're the Chairman of Riddle
Corporation. Just do things as you please. There are no permanent friends or enemies."

and Nicole suffered heavy injuries five years ago.
As for the case where Nicole got attacked when she came back, Jared had Janus investigate it. However, they did
not find any useful information. It was likely the remnants of power from Nicole's enemy, which had probably
depleted over the past five years.
Understanding Jared's meaning, Nicole raised her brows
and blurted out, "It seems to me you're trying to say that everyone does not matter. Then why would you prepare
so much for me previously?"
Jared could have told her to ignore those who are not important.
"They're indeed unimportant to me. Because in my heart, you're the only one that matters," Jared confessed.
Nicole was the only one Jared really cared for. His eyes would only focus on her, ignoring everyone else.
Nicole's mouth twitched. 'Here we go again. That wasn't what I meant.'
"Everything will fall into place. Even if you can't remember, you'll know who's important and who's not." Jared held
her hand, thinking that he would be the only one Nicole cared for.
Nicole could not help but roll her eyes at Jared, sighing. "I still need to regain my memories."
After all, Nicole still had to remember the past. The feeling of not knowing or remembering anything had her feeling
unpleasant, and even anxious at times.
Jared's eyes were downcast, not commenting on Nicole's response. He wanted Nicole to gain her memories back,
but as soon as her memories recovered a little, Nicole would have a terrible headache.
Therefore, he did not rush to let her interact with people or events from the past, not even going on dates to
familiar places. Jared was fine if Nicole never regained her memories as long as she was fine.

It was late when they got back home. Gloria was waiting for them in the living room while Nolan and Lana had
fallen asleep. Seeing that everyone was back, she asked with concern, "So? How was it? Did everything go
smoothly?"
"Yes, don't worry. Nicole handled the situation very well and exposed nothing." This was the common worry for
everyone, that the news of Nicole's memory loss was spread. If that happened, Nicole would be in a difficult spot.
"That's good." Gloria's heart ached for Nicole while looking at her. "It'll only get harder once you take over the
company."
Nicole sat down next to Gloria. "That's fine. It's better to have something to do. I can't stay at home forever, right?"
"As your mother, I really hope you'll stay at home with me every day." Gloria smiled lovingly and patted Nicole's
hand.
"Mom, Nicole will get bored and unhappy if she stays in the house all day. She should be free outside," Samuel said
with a proud look. Nicole's abilities should be admired by everyone.
