Chapter 2415
Nicole's pupils shrunk. It was the first time Lawrence had come to the Riddle family, so how could he have
recognized Steve among all of her older brothers?
While she understood that it did not necessarily mean that Lawrence only recognized Steve, it did imply that he was
extremely familiar with the Riddle family, possibly even more so than she thought.
An unsettling feeling crept into her heart, and Nicole's face grew pale.
According to Jared, they had met Lawrence while searching for the Brave. Then, when she was met with danger,
Lawrence had saved her. Even though he knew about her identity, it still did not seem to warrant such intimate
knowledge of the Riddle family unless Lawrence had done his research.
"We discussed it at the time. Since you had no memories and Lawrence saved you, it wouldn't have made sense to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtburden you with this information. It would only add to your troubles," Steve explained.
Nicole nodded gently and then asked, "What did you find out?"
"That's what Sean and I find strange. After investigating for so long, we haven't found anything. In fact, it's made us
even more suspicious. Everything we wanted to find has been carefully hidden by Lawrence," Steve replied.
Nicole bit her lip. "You and Sean should stop your investigation."
"Why? Do you trust him that much?" Steve asked in concern.
Nicole shook her head. "No. Actually, I've also started to feel that I shouldn't rely on him as much as before. So,
don't worry about me anymore. I'm aware of it now and I'll be cautious."
Steve felt relieved. "Alright, I’m glad you're confident in handling it yourself." Then, he smiled. "Back then, Sean said
you're intelligent. So if there were an issue, you'd probably sense it yourself. It's better than us telling you and
making things difficult for you."
Indeed, Nicole had now realized the problem herself. If she was mentally prepared, she probably would not be
harmed by Lawrence.
"You two certainly have a lot of faith in me." Nicole smiled.
"Of course. You can count on that. You might've lost your memory, but your natural talents are still intact," Steve
replied. That was why they were so at ease handing the Riddle Corporation to her.
After clarifying the situation, Nicole left Steve's office feeling reassured.
Nicole smiled. Both Sean and Steve had done so much for her without her knowing. If Lulu had not accidentally
overheard their conversation, she might have never known.
"Nicole." It was Lulu's voice. She immediately appeared by Nicole's side and whispered, "So, what's going on?
What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. They just thought that since they're not familiar with Lawrence, they wanted to know more about
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim." Nicole downplayed the situation, choosing not to reveal their mistrust towards Lawrence.
Lulu nodded. "Oh, that makes sense. Even though he saved you, he's still essentially a stranger. It's normal for them
to be concerned about you."
As they talked, they left the building and headed to their respective offices.
Nicole sighed as she leaned back against her seat, deep in thought.
She thought about the whole ordeal that started once she regained consciousness, the five years she spent on the
island, and the past few months when she returned to San Joto...
She could not explain why, but her heart felt extremely heavy.
Later that day, the sun was setting, and it was closing time. Everyone started to leave the office.
Nicole and Lulu walked out of the building and immediately saw a car stopping in front of them. A man then walked
out of the car.
"Hey, Spencer." Lulu smiled and ran towards him.
