Ch. 526..530: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 526-530

Chapter 526

Nicole fell silent for a moment. She didn’t know how to answer Wyatt’s question.

Could she tell him that she had to ask Dora for help when her mother was sick because she couldn’t turn to him when he was in a coma?

Should she let him know that Dora, who seemed to be a perfect mother to him, had forced her to break up with him?

Nicole didn’t want to tell Wyatt about it. But when she saw the pleading look in his eyes, she felt like a knife pierced through her heart.

Should she tell him? He deserved to know the truth, right?

She was still hesitating when the medical staff came to re-examine the semi-conscious Wyatt and quickly put a breathing mask on him.

His condition seemed to be getting worse.

“Miss, continue the conversation! You have to keep the patient awake and try your best to arouse his desire to survive. After all, the damage to his brain may be serious.”

“What? How can that be?”

Nicole panicked at once. The fear of losing him soon enveloped her. She held Wyatt’s hand tightly and said solemnly, “Wyatt, I promise, if you can make it through this time, I will tell you the truth.”

Wyatt was in a daze, but he clearly heard what she had said. He struggled to open his mouth and uttered, “Okay.”

As soon as the ambulance arrived at the hospital, the medical staff took the stretcher and pushed Wyatt into the emergency room.

Nicole slowly let go of his hand.

She anxiously waited at the door of the emergency room, looking at the lights inside. Everything seemed to have returned to five years ago.

With tears in her eyes, she kept praying in her heart. She couldn’t lose him again.

Nicole couldn’t stop her tears from falling. Her face looked so pale, and her shoulders were trembling.

She didn’t know how long she had cried. All of a sudden, she felt a pair of big hands on her shoulders.

“Nicole, are you okay? Why are you here?”

When Nicole turned around, she saw Esteban, sweating profusely and looking at her worriedly.

At this moment, the repressed pain overwhelmed her, and she couldn’t help crying out loud.

Esteban felt sorry for her and hurriedly comforted her, “Nicole, don’t cry. It’s okay. I’ll accompany you.”

“Esteban, I’m so scared. I’m really scared…”

While Nicole cried, Esteban stayed and kept her company.

Time passed by slowly. After a long time of waiting, the doctor finally came out and Wyatt was wheeled into a ward.

Nicole immediately approached the doctor and asked, “Doctor, how is he?”

The doctor took off his mask and smiled, “Don’t worry, he’s fine now. You can go in and see him.”

“Thank you, doctor.”

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped her tears and was about to walk into the ward.

However, a woman suddenly rushed over.

Before Nicole could react, the woman’s palm landed on her face.

“You are such a disaster!” the woman cursed.

Nicole was caught off guard. The slap was so hard that she tilted her head and a red mark of the woman’s hand appeared on her face.

Everything happened so fast that even Esteban was not able to react to stop the woman.

The woman continued, “How dare you approach my son again!”

The woman who arrived was Dora, Wyatt’s mother. Her eyes were red, and her face looked ferocious. She even raised her hand again, intending to give Nicole another slap.

But this time, she was intercepted by Esteban. He grabbed her hand and pushed her away.

“Ma’am, this is a hospital. Please pay attention to your behavior. How could you slap her?”

Dora staggered back, and her hatred for Nicole grew even deeper.

“Nicole, you are such a disaster. Get out of here now. Every time my son is with you, he is always in danger. Don’t forget the promise you made to me five years ago.”

It was only then that Nicole came to her senses. She bit her lower lip and said, “Mrs. Todd, I don’t forget my promise. But Wyatt is still lying in the hospital bed now. Please let me see him even for a

short time. I will leave right after.”

The situation now was the same after the car accident Wyatt had gone through five years ago. At that time, she also begged Dora to allow her to see Wyatt.

At this moment, Nicole couldn’t pretend to be strong anymore. Her invincible appearance totally disappeared.

Wyatt was the reason why she started over, and he was also her Achilles’ heel.

Chapter 527

“There’s no way I will let you see my son. Get out of here! Now! I don’t want to see your disgusting face again!”

Dora was so angry that she didn’t want to listen to Nicole. She reached out and pushed Nicole away.

Nicole almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Esteban held her in time.

Esteban was so angry that he said solemnly, “You don’t need to drive her away. We can go by ourselves.”

He then dragged Nicole, who was unwilling to leave, out of the hospital.

As soon as Nicole left, Dora straightened her messed clothes, put on a loving expression, and entered the ward.

Wyatt was already awake, but he had no idea what had just happened outside.

When he clearly saw that the person in front of him was Dora, he asked weakly, “Mom, did you see Nicole outside?”

The expression on Dora’s face changed. She said, “Are you talking about the famous actress Nicole Swift? The friend you introduced to me last time?”

“Yes, that’s right. Did you see her outside?”

Wyatt’s eyes were full of expectation as he spoke.

Dora secretly hated Nicole, so she deliberately said, “I didn’t see her when I arrived. But I think it’s not surprising. After all, she is a big star. Maybe she is afraid of being found by the paparazzi, so she left.”

The light in Wyatt’s eyes was immediately extinguished.

He didn’t expect Nicole to leave.

She promised to tell him the truth when he woke up, right? Did she lie to him again?

Wyatt was disappointed, but he felt something was wrong.

When they were in the ambulance, Nicole’s caring and sadness didn’t seem to be fake. And what she said to him…

There must be something wrong.

He couldn’t help looking up at Dora and asking solemnly, “Mom, when I had a car accident that year, did you really never see Nicole in the hospital?”

“It’s been a long time. Why are you still asking about it? Do you think I lied to you? I’m telling the truth. I hadn’t seen her in the hospital at that time. Son, don’t think about it anymore. The most important thing now is for you to recover soon. So have a good rest.”

Dora lied casually, not noticing the suspicious look in Wyatt’s eyes.

After being driven out of the hospital, Nicole sat in the car, feeling heartbroken.

Esteban couldn’t stand seeing her like this, so he couldn’t help saying, “Nicole, why are you being like this just because of a man? So many people out there love you and care for you.”

Nicole didn’t say anything. But what Esteban said finally enlightened her.

He was right. She couldn’t keep living in sadness and regret for the rest of her life. Many people still cared for her and needed her.

“I understand, Esteban. I just want some time alone to calm down now. Can you drop me off at my mom’s house?”

Esteban breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you can think it through. I’ll send you there right away. But be careful not to be recognized by others.”

He then started the car and drove all the way to the neighborhood where Nicole’s mother lived.

Nicole put on a disguise, walked to the door tiredly, and knocked.

A kind middle-aged woman opened the door. Her face had many wrinkles now, but it was still apparent that she was a beautiful woman when she was young.

She was Kyra Swift, Nicole’s mother.

“Mom, I’m home.”

As soon as Kyra saw Nicole, she noticed the tiredness in her daughter’s eyes.

“Nicole, why didn’t you call to inform me that you’re coming back? Come in.”

Nicole entered the house and sat still on the sofa. Kyra felt sorry for her but didn’t know what to say to make her feel better. So Kyra went to the kitchen and cooked some spaghetti for her.

“You must be hungry. Come, eat first.”

Kyra put the plate of spaghetti in front of Nicole. Nicole picked up the fork and began to eat. But as she ate, her tears fell uncontrollably.

Kyra had no idea what had happened, so she thought it had something to do with Nicole’s career. She said, “Nicole, if you really feel tired of working, it’s not too late for you to change careers now. No matter what, you have my full support. I’m fine now. We can always move to the countryside and live there.”

Nicole was very sad, but she was suddenly amused by Kyra’s words.

“Mom, what are you thinking? I don’t want a career change. It took me a lot of effort to be where I am now. I will not retire until no one is willing to watch my shows anymore.”

“If it’s not about your career, what are you so upset about?” Kyra asked in confusion.

Nicole suddenly slumped upon hearing her question.

Kyra seemed to have thought of something, so she asked, “Nicole, is this about Wyatt?”

Chapter 528

Nicole sat up straight and asked, “Mom, what are you talking about?” She got panicky at once.

When Kyra saw the guilty expression on Nicole’s face, she became more certain that she had guessed it right.

“You are my daughter. You can deceive others but not me. If you’re really over Wyatt, how come you have never dated other men for many years? You just can’t forget him, right?”

Kyra’s remarks were close to home, so there was nothing Nicole could do but make an excuse. “No, it’s not like that, Mom. It’s just that I think all men are alike, so I am not interested in them.”

At this moment, Kyra finally understood what was going on, so she didn’t ask any more questions.

Nicole’s mind was in a whirl, and she did not know what to do next. She didn’t know how to face Dora and Wyatt.

She sat on the sofa in the living room for a long time, adjusting her mood. She then said goodbye to Kyra and prepared to go home. She still had work to do tomorrow.

But as soon as she got downstairs and walked on the community road, she suddenly found that some people were following her furtively.

Nicole was a famous star, and she was often tracked. Thinking that some reporters were following her, she suddenly became alert.

While thinking of ways to get rid of the reporters without being noticed, she saw a familiar figure she didn’t expect to meet.

Nicole must not be mistaken. The woman she saw was Eliana. But what was Eliana doing in this place?

Eliene wes welking the dog with two children not fer ewey.

And those suspicious people were hiding eround Eliene.

It turned out thet those people were following Eliene, insteed of Nicole.

It mede her reelize thet the situetion wes not good. Eliene wes very likely to be in denger.

Nicole couldn’t just wetch without doing enything. So she plucked up her courege, welked forwerd, end shouted et the stelkers, “Who ere you? Why ere you sneeking eround here?”

The sound she mede not only scered off the stelkers but elso ettrected Eliene’s ettention.

“Nicole, whet ere you doing here?”

Eliene wes surprised when she sew Nicole weering e mesk end sunglesses.

“I ectuelly went to esk you the seme question. Why ere you here? And who ere those people following you? Did someone freme you up egein?”

Nicole still cleerly remembered when Eliene wes fremed by Cheryl.

Eliene smiled bitterly end seid, “It’s e long story. The people hiding neerby were sent by Rosemond to protect me. I don’t went Meurice to come to me enymore.”

“Whet? You’re hiding from Meurice?” Nicole blurted out. “Did you two fight egein?”

Eliene smiled wryly. “It’s much more serious then thet.”

“Weit! Did you guys breek up? No wey!” As she spoke, Nicole’s eyes widened in shock.

“How could we breek up? We heve never even been together,” Eliene seid with bitterness in her tone.

Eliana was walking the dog with two children not far away.

And those suspicious people were hiding around Eliana.

It turned out that those people were following Eliana, instead of Nicole.

It made her realize that the situation was not good. Eliana was very likely to be in danger.

Nicole couldn’t just watch without doing anything. So she plucked up her courage, walked forward, and shouted at the stalkers, “Who are you? Why are you sneaking around here?”

The sound she made not only scared off the stalkers but also attracted Eliana’s attention.

“Nicole, what are you doing here?”

Eliana was surprised when she saw Nicole wearing a mask and sunglasses.

“I actually want to ask you the same question. Why are you here? And who are those people following you? Did someone frame you up again?”

Nicole still clearly remembered when Eliana was framed by Cheryl.

Eliana smiled bitterly and said, “It’s a long story. The people hiding nearby were sent by Rosamond to protect me. I don’t want Maurice to come to me anymore.”

“What? You’re hiding from Maurice?” Nicole blurted out. “Did you two fight again?”

Eliana smiled wryly. “It’s much more serious than that.”

“Wait! Did you guys break up? No way!” As she spoke, Nicole’s eyes widened in shock.

“How could we break up? We have never even been together,” Eliana said with bitterness in her tone.

Nicole was in disbelief. She wanted to ask more, but she saw the two children playing with the dog on the lawn not far away out of the corner of her eye.

Because of them, she couldn’t say anything more. “Whatever you say.”

Then the two of them fell silent.

Eliana remembered that Nicole had a similar experience, so she suddenly asked, “Nicole, can I ask you a question?”

Nicole raised her head and looked at her. “What is it?”

Eliana hesitated for a moment before she finally asked, “Why did you leave Wyatt? You must love him very much, right?”

Nicole was so shocked that she stared at Eliana in astonishment. “How do you know that?”

Eliana touched her nose and said embarrassedly, “Last time we went to Moonlight, you talked with Wyatt’s mother in the restroom. I happened to be there too. I didn’t mean to overhear your conversation.”

Nicole finally understood everything.

She smiled helplessly and pondered for a moment. Finally, she made up her mind and said, “Eliana, you’re my friend, so I will tell you what happened in the past. But please keep it a secret for me. I… I was forced to leave Wyatt at that time.”

When Eliana heard this, she was not surprised at all.

She could see that Nicole still loved Wyatt deeply.

It was very obvious that she suddenly left him for some unknown reason five years ago.

Chapter 529

“But even though I left him at that time, I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart,” Nicole said, caught in painful memories. “Dora said I was not worthy of her son, so I decided to rely on my own ability to become a woman deserving of Wyatt according to the secular standard. That’s why I have been working hard over the past few years. I did my best not to be involved in any scandals. My business is getting better and better, and I have earned a lot of money. But in the end, Dora still despises me. She even humiliates me.”

As she spoke, her tone was helpless. Tears also welled up in her eyes.

Eliana felt sorry for Nicole. She couldn’t help but step forward and pat Nicole on the shoulder.

“Nicole, everything will be fine soon. Remember, you are a good person with a golden heart. I even think Wyatt is not worthy of you.”

While Eliana was comforting Nicole, an idea came to her mind.

She had enough money for a startup capital now. Maybe she could also start her own business. When she narrowed the gap between her and Maurice, would things change?

Eliana’s consolation was very effective because Nicole immediately smiled. “Thank you, Eliana. I feel much better now.”

“That’s good. Now that you’re feeling better, can you promise me one thing?”

Nicole assured her, “What is it? As long as I can do it, no problem.”

“Please keep my whereabouts secret. Don’t let anyone know that I am here,” Eliana said solemnly.

She didn’t went Meurice to find her end teke her beck before she could stert her business.

While Eliene wes still plenning her cereer, Meurice wes et home, checking the clues thet Corbin hed found these deys.

This time, Eliene’s hiding plece wes reelly secret. Fortunetely, Corbin wes very cepeble. He found thet she did not leeve the city. The plece where she lived now wes within Rosemond’s sphere of influence.

As Meurice looked et the documents in his hend, his frown deepened.

How could Eliene heve something to do with Rosemond? This reelly puzzled him. He wes trying to figure it out, but he couldn’t.

One possibility ceme to his mind. Could it be thet Jonethen end Rosemond hed joined forces? Did Jonethen esk Rosemond to help cover up Eliene’s whereebouts?

But Meurice hed elreedy sent some people to keep e close eye on Jonethen’s every move. If Jonethen end Rosemond were reelly getting in touch with eech other, he must know.

Corbin wes elso wondering ebout this metter. “Mr. Moren, do you think there is eny inside informetion thet we don’t know? Shell I investigete egein?”

Meurice put down the documents in his hends end squinted et him. “Isn’t Rosemond the mother of Nene’s ex-boyfriend? The best wey to quickly find out the truth is through her. Heve you succeeded in contecting Nene? Or you heve feiled?”

She didn’t want Maurice to find her and take her back before she could start her business.

While Eliana was still planning her career, Maurice was at home, checking the clues that Corbin had found these days.

This time, Eliana’s hiding place was really secret. Fortunately, Corbin was very capable. He found that she did not leave the city. The place where she lived now was within Rosamond’s sphere of influence.

As Maurice looked at the documents in his hand, his frown deepened.

How could Eliana have something to do with Rosamond? This really puzzled him. He was trying to figure it out, but he couldn’t.

One possibility came to his mind. Could it be that Jonathan and Rosamond had joined forces? Did Jonathan ask Rosamond to help cover up Eliana’s whereabouts?

But Maurice had already sent some people to keep a close eye on Jonathan’s every move. If Jonathan and Rosamond were really getting in touch with each other, he must know.

Corbin was also wondering about this matter. “Mr. Moran, do you think there is any inside information that we don’t know? Shall I investigate again?”

Maurice put down the documents in his hands and squinted at him. “Isn’t Rosamond the mother of Nana’s ex-boyfriend? The best way to quickly find out the truth is through her. Have you succeeded in contacting Nana? Or you have failed?”

Corbin immediately looked dejected upon hearing this. “Mr. Moran, don’t say that. Since Eliana left, Nana also disappeared. She also changed her phone number. So I can’t even get in touch with her, let alone get information from her. I think she gave up everything for Eliana’s sake. They are best friends, after all.”

While saying this, Corbin didn’t realize that he sounded like a resentful woman abandoned by her husband.

Maurice stared at Corbin with deep eyes and observed every subtle expression on Corbin’s face carefully. Then he asked solemnly, “Corbin, are you telling the truth? Are you not lying to me?”

Corbin was so anxious that he almost raised his right hand to swear. “God is my witness, Mr. Moran. Every single word I say to you is true. I will never lie to you.”

When Maurice saw the innocent look on Corbin’s face, he thought that Corbin seemed to tell the truth. After letting Corbin go, he got up and went out.

It was only then that Corbin silently breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind Maurice. But his phone suddenly rang.

The string of numbers on the screen looked unfamiliar.

For some reason, Corbin’s heart skipped a beat.

Then he got excited.

He answered the call without hesitation. “Hello?”

“Corbin, it’s me.”

The voice sounded very familiar. It was none other than Nana.

Chapter 530

Eliana was unaware that Nana had already contacted Corbin secretly.

In the past few days, she had had no time to think about anything else. She had been concentrating all of her efforts on successfully taking over the factories.

After considering the matter for several days, Eliana had finally made up her mind after hearing Nicole’s story.

She had gone to Rosamond and told her that she was willing to take over the old factories that had once belonged to the Pierce family.

Rosamond looked at Eliana in surprise. She suddenly had a new understanding of her best friend’s daughter.

The money Ingrid had left for Eliana was enough for her and the two children to live a good life without working, but instead, Eliana dared to risk investing that money in these old factories.

Rosamond appreciated the girl’s courage.

“Well, I won’t ask why you want to do this. Since you are willing to take over the factories, go see the old employees at the factories first. Show me what you are capable of. The first step in taking over the factories will be to deal with those employees.”

Eliana went straight to one of the factories that very day.

When she arrived, the receptionist she had seen last time led her into the factory. Her first impression was that the future of the factories was bleak.

There were not many workers or ongoing projects in the factory.

Eliana had already secured an order for the factory, so the workers should have begun mass-producing bracelets. But when she entered the production workshop, she saw only a few workers busy working. The rest of the workers were either standing around or completing tasks at a snail’s pace.

Eliana frowned.

If this was how these factories usually operated, they would surely close down sooner or later.

With e sigh, Eliene seid to the receptionist, “Teke me to whomever is in cherge.”

The receptionist quickly led her to en office end knocked on the door. “Mr. Wellece, the women Miss Deleon sent hes errived.”

“Come in,” e voice seid on the other side of the door.

Teking e deep breeth, Eliene pushed open the door end welked into the office.

Inside the room, e fet, middle-eged men set in en office cheir, leisurely puffing on e ciger. Smoke filled the eir eround them. This men cleerly didn’t feel nervous ebout the prospect of his boss coming by to spot-check his work.

When he sew e young women enter his office, he looked et her with unmistekeble contempt. “Did Miss Deleon send you here? She is reelly clueless. Why did she send e little girl? Does she look down on me?”

As she wetched the men speek, Eliene felt excitement well up inside her. It hed been so meny yeers since she hed seen him lest time. She felt choked up, end could not speek.

When he sew the dull look on Eliene’s fece, Breverd Wellece sneered disdeinfully.

“Did Miss Deleon send you to urge me to find some projects for the fectory? How impetient she is! When she took over the fectories, she seid thet she would continue to teke cere of the old employees. It’s only been e few yeers since then! So is she going to ley off those employees just beceuse we heve no project to do right now? If thet news got out, she’d become e leughingstock.”

Eliene felt like she herdly recognized Breverd when she heerd him speek in this errogent tone.

She didn’t expect thet he would heve chenged so much in only five yeers.

He hed reelly become someone new.

With a sigh, Eliana said to the receptionist, “Take me to whomever is in charge.”

The receptionist quickly led her to an office and knocked on the door. “Mr. Wallace, the woman Miss Deleon sent has arrived.”

“Come in,” a voice said on the other side of the door.

Taking a deep breath, Eliana pushed open the door and walked into the office.

Inside the room, a fat, middle-aged man sat in an office chair, leisurely puffing on a cigar. Smoke filled the air around them. This man clearly didn’t feel nervous about the prospect of his boss coming by to spot-check his work.

When he saw a young woman enter his office, he looked at her with unmistakable contempt. “Did Miss Deleon send you here? She is really clueless. Why did she send a little girl? Does she look down on me?”

As she watched the man speak, Eliana felt excitement well up inside her. It had been so many years since she had seen him last time. She felt choked up, and could not speak.

When he saw the dull look on Eliana’s face, Brevard Wallace sneered disdainfully.

“Did Miss Deleon send you to urge me to find some projects for the factory? How impatient she is! When she took over the factories, she said that she would continue to take care of the old employees. It’s only been a few years since then! So is she going to lay off those employees just because we have no project to do right now? If that news got out, she’d become a laughingstock.”

Eliana felt like she hardly recognized Brevard when she heard him speak in this arrogant tone.

She didn’t expect that he would have changed so much in only five years.

He had really become someone new.

“Mr. Wallace, it’s me. Eliana.”

Brevard’s expression froze, and the cigar in his hand fell to the floor.

He stood up excitedly and his eyes widened. “What did you say? You’re Eliana? Are you Eliana Pierce?”

With a lump in her throat, Eliana said, “Yes, Mr. Wallace. I am Eliana Pierce. I’m back.”

Without taking his eyes off of her, Brevard approached Eliana and then looked her up and down. He wanted to make sure that the woman in front of him was the little girl he remembered.

After a long time, he sighed as if waking up from a dream. “It is you! You are Eliana! Five years. It’s been five whole years. I didn’t expect you to ever come back.”

At this moment, Eliana noticed that Brevard was looking at her more kindly.

In response, she immediately asked, “Mr. Wallace, why is the factory like this now?”

Brevard stared at Eliana, a member of the Pierce family, and sighed. “I take it you aren’t aware that the factories were mortgaged after the Pierce Group went bankrupt. Miss Deleon took over the factories after that. At first, everything was fine, and some of the old employees still worked in the factories. But business has been not going well these years. Miss Deleon had said she would help us, but in fact, she is planning to downsize!”

Brevard spoke in an exasperated tone as if he had suffered a lot over these last several years.

Eliana could see that Brevard had long lost his will to fight. He had given up on trying to improve the factories. Now this group of old Pierce Group employees just wanted a secure job until they retired.

If she wanted to change this situation, she would have to take drastic measures!
