Chapter 3081
"Okay/ they all said together, heading to the dining room.
Once they were seated, June asked Nicole about the company stuff. "Is everything sorted out now?"
"Yeah, all good," Nicole confirmed.
"That's a relief," June said, feeling better.
She had heard about the problems at Riddle Corporation and had planned to talk to Nicole and Lulu
after work. When she found out they were going to the Riddle family manor, she decided to go with
them.
"Today was crazy. Patricia helped with BayCorp, Nicole and I went to NandoCorp... DillCorp was the
trickiest, but Dillon saved US," Lulu told June about their day.
"It's surprising how much of a difference it made," June said, surprised. Everett had been quiet for a

"I just hope we can catch him this time," Lulu said, thinking hard. 'If we have proof, we can get him in
trouble.'
"He's sneaky; he might not leave any proof," spencer said, looking serious.
Samuel added, "We need to be careful."
"We know," Lulu said.
Nicole looked at Spencer and Samuel. "Yeah, if he's too quiet, it's a problem."
"Agreed," Spencer said, realizing Everett's silence might mean trouble.
"I get it, but with how dangerous he is, I just want to make sure we're all careful," Samuel said.
"Jared, keep an eye out," Benjamin said, his voice serious.
"Don't worry, I've got it covered," Jared said calmly.
He knew Benjamin was worried about Nicole's safety and was reminding him to protect her. Jared had
already made sure Nicole would be safe.
"That's good," Benjamin said, feeling relieved. He trusted Jared to handle it.
After dinner, Jared said to Benjamin, "Can we talk in the study?"
"Sure," Benjamin said, getting up and leading Jared to the study.
"Let's go," Benjamin said, leading Jared to the study.
"What's going on?" June and Lulu looked at Nicole, confused.
Nicole shrugged, just as puzzled about Jared’s meeting with Benjamin.
"Here, have some fruit," Karen said, bringing over a fruit platter for everyone.
"Thanks," they all said.
"Don't be so formal; this is home," Karen said, a little embarrassed.
"Yeah, relax," Dillon said, joining in. "And come over more often. Your grandpa loves it when people

"We will," they all agreed.
"Did you hear Stanley and Tia are talking about their wedding?" Karen asked.
"Not yet, but my mom’s getting ready," Nicole said.
"Looks like it's happening soon," Karen laughed.
While the living room buzzed with casual conversation, Jared was in the study with Benjamin, asking,
"Is there really no evidence?"
"None," Benjamin said, shaking his head. "No birthmark or anything on Everett."
Without Everett's confession and with his fake identity, they lacked solid evidence to prove to the
authorities that he was Everett. They needed to convince the authorities before they could get Everett's
DNA tested.
