Chapter 2293
Judging by their appearances, people would think that Icy In and Spencer were a good match. But Nicole and Lulu
knew very well that a scheming woman like Icyln was not, and would never be a good match for Spencer.
Lulu bit her lip and fell silent, lost in her thoughts.
Nicole did not disrupt her train of thought. Earlier today, she thought it was best to respect Lulu's wishes and
believed that she would come to terms with it eventually. However, she suddenly felt like it might be a good idea to
give them a little push, which would at least catalyze a new, much needed change in their relationship.
The car returned to the headquarters, and they both got off to busy themselves with their own tasks.
Soon after, night fell, and the birds returned to their nests.
The living room of the Riddle residence was lively as everyone was busy chatting away while they waited for their
dinner to be ready.
But when Spencer stepped into the entrance, the living room suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were on him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What's going on?" Spencer raised his brows in confusion, wondering if something was wrong with him.
"Weren't you supposed to go to Lulu's place?" Nicole became puzzled, wondering why he had come back.
Finally understanding why they were surprised by his return, Spencer explained, "She left me a message saying she
had something to do tonight. I went to her apartment, but she wasn't there, and I couldn't reach her on her phone,
so I came back."
"Did she tell you what she was going to do?" Nicole frowned. 'Didn't she say that there would be a candlelit dinner?'
Spencer shook his head, "She just told me not to worry and that she had some personal matters to tend to."
Although he did not know what Lulu was up to, he was used to respecting her decisions. Besides, he was not able to
reach her, so he could only wait and ask her about it tomorrow.
"It's about time for dinner. Since you're back, let's have dinner together," Gloria said.
"Okay." They all agreed, and the family headed toward the dining room.
After dinner, Spencer and Stanley went upstairs.
But Gloria and Daniel stopped Nicole as they had something to discuss with her. In the meantime, Jared took Nolan
and Lana upto their rooms.
"Mom? Dad? What's going on?" Nicole became puzzled as she looked at the solemn looks on her parents' faces.
"We went back to the family manor and your Grandpa said that the Ellison family has gotten themselves involved
with our subsidiary company. Is that true?" Daniel said, stern and unsmiling.
For Harvey to cause trouble for Jared and the Riddle family was old news by now. However, he had stopped doing
so during the years in which Nicole had gone missing. But now that Nicole had returned, he had apparently
resumed with his antics.
Nicole sighed and truthfully told them everything since they were already aware of the issue. "Everett is working
together with Harvey to target DillCorp."
Nicole did not want either Harvey or Everett to take over DillCorp, so she was going to do everything in her power
to stop them.
"It sounds like you already knew about it. Why didn't you tell us?" Daniel said with a hint of distress.
In turn, Nicole smiled and assured, "Dad, there's nothing to worry about. Sean, Steve, and I are all working together
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmin the company. You should just focus on spending more time with Mom. Do you want me to book a trip for the both
of you?"
She did not want her parents to worry about the company anymore as she and her siblings would handle
everything.
"It's fine." Daniel shook his head, knowing that his daughter had good intentions. "I believe in you all. Okay then, I
won't ask about it anymore and wait for your good news."
It was impossible for him to enjoy a trip at a time like this, so he figured that he should just sit back and wait, since
his daughter had made it clear to him that she did not want him to be worried.
With that, he offered some advice to Nicole, who went on to give him more reassurance. Then, both Daniel and
Gloria stopped with their queries.
Nolan and Lana were already asleep by the time Nicole went upstairs, and Jared was already waiting for her in the
hallway.
She ambled over toward him, and together, they went back into their room.
"You haven't taken any action in regard to what's happening to DillCorp yet. What are you waiting for?" Jared
casually asked.
Nicole was a little taken aback by the question. "How did you know that my parents asked me about DillCorp?"
