Chapter 2024
One unique thing about Steve was that he loved money. As long as it was something related to earning money, he
would be interested in it. It was the right move to turn him into the person in charge of the new contract.
Hearing Nicole's words, Sean and Steve widened their eyes in astonishment.
Steve almost became speechless. "W-what did you just say?
You remember everything?"
'It's true, right? She remembers everything, right? Otherwise, why would she have said those words?'
Nicole was also caught by surprise. But after a while she shook her head and regretfully said, "No. I don't
remember anything. It's just that very moment, this sentence crossed my mind, and I said it out loud."
Nicole did not understand what was going on either.

Seeing Nicole's expression, Sean composed himself and comforted her. "Although you don't remember it, the fact
that you had such a reaction proves that your brain is active again. You'll be able to recall everything one day, don’t
rush into it."
Worried that Nicole would be sad about it, Steve echoed," That's right. Don't rush into it. Even if you can't recall it,
it's fine as it wouldn't affect anything."
Nicole forced a smile on her face and said, "Yeah, I understand."
Afterall, no one could force things to happen. All Nicole could do was to wait and hope for a miracle to happen.
Although it seemed like not being able to recall her memory had no effect on her life and work, Nicole still wished to
remember all those things from the past. Especially those memories about Jared and her.
Jared's handsome face appeared in her mind and Nicole could not help but bite her lip. If they really were so in love
as others had described, Nicole would not want to forget those moments from the past.
Nicole took a deep breath and regained her composure.
With a firm tone, she said, "Alright, let's all get back to work."
"Let's go."
Sean and Steve followed Nicole out of the meeting room, and everyone headed back to their own office.
As she returned to her office and sat down, Nicole's gaze turned dark. At some point, she really wondered if she
had actually regained her memory. If she could recall anything from the past, perhaps the way she interacted with
Jared would be different.
Meanwhile, at Johnston Group, Jared was leaning on his office chair while going through the materials which Max
had just sent over.
"Sir, there's still no news about what happened five years ago." Max did not seem to be in good shape. He did not

"Keep searching." When Jared thought about how Nicole had returned once and almost lost her life, his eyes turned
cold.
"Noted," Max replied obediently.
"Have you found anything about the Genesis Group?" Jared asked in a slightly stern tone.
Lawrence had hidden Nicole for five years. And once Nicole returned to San Joto, he had followed as well. On top of
that, he expanded his business to San Joto too. What a tricky man.
Jared had to be wary of Lawrence. Although they used to be friends, Jared just realized that he did not know much
about Lawrence. In fact, one could say that he did not know a thing about Lawrence.
Lawrence's appearance at San Joto this time around seemed fishy to Jared. Jared could not pinpoint what was
wrong.
"I've investigated and it seems like Lawrence is a greedy man. The planning for Genesis Group is clear and there
are some fringe industries on the side. However, their partnership with the Riddle Corporation is formal," Max
replied truthfully.
