Chapter 1396 The Battle Officially Starts Now
Knock. Knock. Knock. Just then, the sound of someone knocking on the door pulled Chloe back from her memory.
"Chloe, it's me." It was Nicole.
Chloe was taken aback. Could it be something urgent? Wait, her stomach!
She jumped up and opened the door upon thinking about this, only to see Nicole holding a tray with some chowder
and salad.
"What's this, Nicole?" Chloe quickly came to her senses and asked.
"You're pregnant, so you should be resting. You didn't need to cook for me." Although Nicole was already well into
her pregnancy, Chloe felt that she should still be careful as accidents could happen in the kitchen. Just the thought
of it was enough to make Chloe shudder.
"It's just something simple. You've been so busy and tired. It must feel worse to come back to an empty dining
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttable." Nicole shook her head and pulled Chloe into the room. She then placed the food on the table and looked at
her with a smile.
Seeing that, Chloe sat down obediently to eat. Even though she lied to Nicole, saying she had already eaten, that
was not the case.
There was no use insisting otherwise since Nicole had probably seen through her. As such, it would be better for her
to eat.
Nicole was comforted when Chloe ate the food. This was all she could do, for she hadn't expected to feel so weak
with the morning sickness.
Despite knowing that being pregnant wasn't an easy thing, she never knew it could get this bad since she hadn't
experienced it.
"Great. Now, go rest." Nicole nodded with satisfaction as Chloe finished the bowl of chowder. Then, she got up to
take the empty bowl away.
Chloe rushed to grab the bowl from Nicole and disappeared before her eyes after saying, "I'll do the dishes, Nicole.
You should rest."
Nicole stared at the space before her where Chloe was and smiled when she heard the woman. Then, she walked
toward her room.
She decided not to force it. If she did, Chloe would feel bad, and that wasn't what she intended to do.
Compared to the serenity on Nicole's side, Colton's situation was different.
Beryl and Colton sat before a computer, monitoring the situation in the country.
What they didn't expect was Ryan's influence as many parties suddenly appeared to help him.
"No wonder he's so brazen. He has the capital." Beryl stared at the data as he remarked, nodding in silence as
though impressed by Ryan.
Colton turned to look at Beryl and rolled his eyes.
"It's my first time seeing you praise someone, you know," he said mockingly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis is the first time I see you praising someone," he mocked.
However, Beryl gently shook his head without answering. He was smart and knew better than to reply.
"Now that everything is in our hands, can we start?" Beryl changed the topic. He could feel his heart thumping from
the excitement at the mention of this issue.
After all, Ryan's every step was as they expected, and it was imperative for what they were going to do next.
"Yes. It's time to tie up all the loose ends. We can take action on Kendrick's side too."
Colton nodded as he looked at the glaring computer screen. It was time to end things. If things went well, they
could conclude everything before the end of the year.
However, things might not be as easy as they seemed. He couldn't help pursing his lips at the thought of it.
Kendrick was definitely more cunning than they knew him to be; all they saw was what Kendrick wanted them to
see and vice versa.
"We need to be more careful. When necessary, initiate Wolf."
"Understood," Beryl answered seriously. The real battle was about to start.
