Chapter 3082

"Then we'll keep at it," Jared said, undeterred by the lack of evidence.

"What's your plan?" Benjamin asked, curious.

"I wanted a permanent solution, but if that's not possible, I'll keep playing the game with him," Jared said, determination in his eyes. He wouldn't let Everett win easily. "Do what you have to. I..." Benjamin paused, his tone firm. "I've cut ties with that bastard. The Riddle family doesn't need him."

To Benjamin, Everett didn't deserve to be part of the family, and cutting him off was the right choice.

"Got it," Jared said, his expression serious.

"Jared, thanks for looking after Nicole," Benjamin said, sighing. "I know she's not as agile as she used to be, probably because of everything she's been through." "Grandpa, it's my job," Jared replied. Protecting Nicole was important to him.

But Jared couldn't shake the feeling. Even though he hadn't told Benjamin everything, he'd noticed the changes in Nicole.

Seeing Jared's contemplation, Benjamin spoke frankly. "I may not know the details, but I can tell she's not the same as before."

Since Nicole's return, Benjamin had noticed the changes after everything she'd been through.

Jared didn't hide anything. "She faced some dangers. She survived, but there were consequences. Her physical abilities have taken a hit."

Even though Nicole could still hold her own, she wasn't as strong as she used to be, and facing tough opponents was harder.

"These years haven't been easy on her," Benjamin said sadly.

Jared comforted him. "She's been through a lot, but Nolan and Lana have been there for her. They've brought her a lot of joy."

Talking about his great-grandchildren made Benjamin smile, relieved and happy.

As the night grew darker, Nicole rested her head on Jared's shoulder, their arms intertwined. She whispered, "What did you and Grandpa talk about?" "We talked about Everett," Jared said, not keeping anything from Nicole.

"What did he say?" Nicole raised her eyebrows, curious.

Jared shook his head, holding her hand. "Nothing specific about Everett."

"Oh," Nicole said casually. If there wasn't anything new, it didn't bother her. They'd find another way to handle Everett.

Jared smiled at her. "Is that all?"

"That's all we can do for now. And there's no need to be disappointed; we won't let him off easy," Nicole said, her demeanor calm.

"Okay, we won't," Jared replied, looking at her with affection, his smile growing wider.

The next day was sunny and bright.

As Nicole stepped out of the car to go into the office, Lulu arrived.

"Hey, Lulu," Nicole called.

"Hey there," Lulu jogged over to her, and they went in together.

"It's probably going smoothly at BayCorp by now," Nicole said. "Hopefully," Lulu agreed.

"It should be fine," Lulu said, smiling a little.

Looking at Nicole, Lulu added, "Let's wait for her good news, then."
