Chapter 2055
"Forget it, then. She has already made a move against us, so we can't just sit back and do nothing. From now on,
let's just focus on managing the company," Damien said.
Damien believed that if there was no evidence, it meant that there was nothing wrong. In the end of the day, the
conclusion was still the same - they could not allow Nicole and her family to be the ones with the upper hand. All of
them had the right to inherit the Riddle family's wealth and power.
Damien squinted as he thought about the inheritance, revealing a sinister glint in his eyes. They were so close to
succeeding when Mr. Riddle Sr. was at his limits, but Nicole just had to return and treat him.
'How infuriating!'

However, he did not wish to give up. He had a feeling that Nicole was shrouded in a veil of mystery, and whatever it
was that lied behind that veil was crucial for them and their success.
Leaving the office, Everett ordered his assistant, "Continue the investigation. As for Harmon Trading, just let them
take care of it themselves. They shouldn't be coming to me anymore. I don't need idiots."
"Yes, sir," the assistant responded respectfully.
Everett then strode into his own office with an eerily gloomy expression on his face.
The sun was bright in the afternoon, and Nicole was taking a power nap on the couch in her office after eating her
lunch.
It was then that two knocks on the door were heard, prompting her to lazily respond by saying, "Come in."
The door opened, and her secretary appeared standing at the door. "Miss Nicole, Mr. Lawrence is here.”
"Leo?" Nicole snapped out of her thoughts as she was surprised to see Lawrence there all of a sudden.
"Sorry to disturb your rest." Lawrence entered with a smile.
"Not at all. Please have a seat," Nicole replied as she gestured for her secretary to prepare some coffee.
Lawrence took a seat, whereupon a curious Nicole asked," What brings you here all of a sudden?"
"I'm afraid you will never invite me over if I didn't come," Lawrence playfully said.
Feeling a little awkward, Nicole tried to explain herself, "Our collaboration has been going smoothly, so there really
isn't anything in particular for us to discuss."
She also thought they were rather busy with their lives, so the act of reaching out without a specific reason might
only serve to disrupt or affect Lawrence's work.

There was a slight hint of darkness in Lawrence's eyes as he paused for a second. "I remember you said that we're
friends. Is work all we have to talk about, and nothing else?"
"Of course, we're friends." Nicole smiled as she knew that this was a fact that would never change.
"Your coffee. Miss Nicole." The secretary placed the coffee on the table before exiting the room.
Nicole gestured for Lawrence to have his coffee and in a casual tone of voice, she asked, ' Did you really just come
for a chat?"
"Not really." Lawrence smiled. "I'm interested in a project by Interstellar International. However, they have stated
that they want a third company to collaborate with us."
"Why?" Nicole asked, puzzled. Interstellar International was powerful, and it was safe to say that Lawrence was no
slouch himself, in spite of the fact that he had only been in San Joto for a short amount of time. Therefore, she
could not help but wonder why they would want a third company to collaborate with them.
