Chapter 2861

If he decided to make his escape tomorrow, the chances of him succeeding were very high.

"That makes sense, but why would he want to run?" Nicole pondered.

If Everett was planning something sinister, it would be helpful for Damien to stick around in San Joto and keep an eye on the rest of the Riddles.

"Well..." Lulu trailed off, caught off guard by Nicole's question.

While she did not have the right words to explain her case, she could not help but feel that Damien's actions were suspicious.

Narrowing her eyes, Nicole assured, "Don't worry. If he has got a plan up his sleeve, you can take my word that it will be discovered."

Tomorrow, the Riddle family would not care enough to keep their eyes on Damien, but what he would fail to take into account was that Patricia had tasked someone to keep an eye on him. Therefore, none of his actions would go unnoticed.

"What if he is really planning to escape?" Lulu asked.

"If that's what he's trying to do..." Nicole's eyes glinted with cold fury. "Patricia will take care of it."

She believed that Patricia would know what to do, and that she would make the best decision in regard to Damien.

"I see. Well, I guess we'll have to leave the rest to her, then." Lulu nodded.

While they were in the midst of their discussion, the secretary brought Nicole's breakfast in, prompting the duo to stop talking.

Then, as Nicole began to eat, Lulu stood up and said, "I'll get back to work now."

"Okay," Nicole replied, whereupon Lulu got out of the office.

Nicole continued eating as she contemplated whether Damien's sudden, unusual change in behavior was somewhat related to everything surrounding Jared and Johnston Group.

After giving it some thought, Nicole sent a message to Jared to inform him about the most recent development. At the very least, she wanted Jared to be aware of the sudden turn of events to prevent any errors in judgment. They could not be too careful in case there might be things Jared had overlooked.

After she had received Jared's reply, Nicole smirked and placed the phone away.

Her mind was now on Emery's wedding tomorrow. Both she and Lulu had to show up for the ceremony, so they had to take care of their work for the day as soon as possible...

Just like that, the next day arrived in a jiffy.

It was about seven in the morning, but everyone at home had already gotten up, dressed to the nines, and were prepared to attend the wedding.

"Daddy! Mommy! Another uncle is getting married!" Lana shouted as she looked up at Nicole, her eyes lighting up.

"Yeah," Nicole smiled.

However, the glimmer of light in Lana's eyes vanished as soon as she realized that Nicole did not understand what she was trying to tell her. "What about you and Daddy? When are you getting married?" Nicole could not help but chuckle and shake her head when the question was posed. 'So this little girl is worried about us now, huh?'

She then patted the little one in the head. "After all of your uncles have gotten married, Daddy and I will have our wedding." "Why?" Lana tilted her head in puzzlement.

Frowning, Nolan butted in, "But Uncle Ellar doesn't even have a girlfriend."

This prompted another chuckle out of Nicole, who replied," Yeah, and that is why we need Uncle Ellar to double his efforts now."

"This is unfair. Why does Mommy have to wait for all of our uncles to get married first?" Lana pouted.

'If this is what it's come to, I'll have to wait for a long time,' she thought.

"Maybe it's because Mommy is not in a hurry." Nicole smiled.

In reality, they had decided to hold off on the wedding because she and Jared still had much to take care of, and the unexpected turn of events as of late had only forced them to postpone the wedding once more. If none of these factors had come into play, they might have already gotten the wedding over with.

However, she did not plan to tell Nolan and Lana about this. The little ones deserved a peaceful, carefree life, in which they were not roped into the complexities and dangers Nicole had been braving. "Alright, we should leave now," Gloria reminded everyone after she had caught a glimpse of the time.

The family members moved out one by one, and that was when Nicole glanced over at Stanley and asked in serious tone, "You're going alone?"

Stanley knew that she was actually asking him why Tia was not around to accompany him, so he sighed and explained," Grandma isn't feeling well, so Tia is staying with her."
