Chapter 215 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• That probably meant that Riddle Corporation could lose the tender. “What will happen if we lose?” Gloria did not want to hide things from her daughter, so she said in a whisper, “If we lose, we will lose everything that we have invested in that land.” Of course, that was not all. The substantial sums spent on lubricating the machinery would also disappear. Therefore, losing the tender meant hollowing out the cash flow and increasing Riddle Corporation's debts.
• Gloria was afraid of putting too much pressure on her daughter, so what she told her was an understatement. But Nicole could easily hear the worry and nervousness she implied in her words. After all, this was the biggest investment that Riddle Corporation had bet on in years. Nicole did not go on asking but looked knowingly at Gloria’s somewhat tired face. “You have a good rest, Mom. I will go first.” “You’re leaving so quick?” Gloria asked eagerly. “I have to study for my monthly exam, which is coming soon.” Nicole said it with a nod.

I will ask your brother to send you home.” Nicole shook her head and gazed at the black car in front of her with a faint smile on her face. “It’s okay, Mom. Go back inside,” she said. Gloria watched in surprise as Nicole walked toward the black car; she could not tell what model it was. Nicole opened the car door, turned to look at Gloria, who was still standing in the doorway, and frowned. She walked back again, bringing Gloria into the house before turning around and leaving.
