At this thought, Janus lowered his head and did not dare to continue looking.
Meanwhile, the Turmann family sat across the two and gaped at the two.
For some reason, they felt like they were intruding.
"Why are they acting like we're not here?' they wondered.
Nicole glanced at Jared.
"Did you already know about the Thorne family and the Intercontinental Party joining forces to bring
down the Turmann family?" she asked resignedly.
Many from the Turmann family were stunned to hear Nicole's words.They widened their eyes and
stared at her incredulously.
‘How could the Thorne family and the government possibly bring harm to us? What is Nicole talking
about?!' they wondered.
Simon's eyes flashed with slight panic; he seemed like he did not expect Nicole to say such a thing.
While Elijah did not doubt Nicole's words, Eber asked hesitantly, "How's that possible? The
Intercontinental Party is also a victim in this incident..."
Eber's pupils constricted in shock as he spoke.
'We're getting blamed for being unable to provide the Intercontinental Party equipment.They think we're
providing weapons to the enemies, so they're attempting to accuse us of treason.They refuse to back
down no matter what we say, which is precisely why we're scrambling to find a way to replicate the
Mobile Armor.Nicole warned me not to tell anyone beforehand about her finding the Thorne family, so
why is she suddenly saying such a thing now? ‘ Eber wondered.
Merry also looked at Nicole.She sneered and said in evident disdain, "You're full of nonsense and
making things up.What proof do you have?"
Nicole ignored her and turned to Simon with an icy look.
"The Intercontinental Party never suffered from any real damage, and that's because they never even
released the Mobile Armors during the war.Instead, they traveled south and bombed a developing
chrome ore while they were at it!"
‘The Intercontinental Party is in cahoots with the Thorne family.This way, not only would Simon get rid
of the Turmann family for refusing to hand over their family's Mobile Armor blueprint, but he'd also get a
hold of the JJ Johnston Group resources he desperately wanted.He's killing two birds with one stone!'
she thought.
Jared stared at Nicole.He did not look confused as to how she knew about the incident.He merely
smiled and said cooperatively, "That's right, that's why I'm here.The next batch of goods will be
delayed."
‘Jared isn't the type who would joke about his company's reputation.Since he's indirectly acknowledged
the bombing of chrome ore, then what Nicole has said is very likely true!' At this thought, an icy look
appeared on Elijah's usually calm demeanor.
‘If it weren't for Nicole's return, the sanctimonious Intercontinental Party would've fooled me and falsely
accused me!' he thought.
Meanwhile, Merry's expression changed slightly.She stared at Jared, who was standing beside Nicole.
He was unbelievably focused on her; his gaze never left her ever since she appeared.
‘Did Nicole cast a spell on Jared to make him fall so madly in love with her?!” she thought.
Merry clenched her first at the thought of how Nicole effortlessly resolved the things she said.
At this point, she was no longer thinking about her family's survival but about how to deal with Nicole.
Nicole gazed at Elijah and said calmly, "I saw yesterday.The Intercontinental Party must've sent him to
handle the matter, so we need to prepare ourselves beforehand."
Elijah nodded; he fully trusted Nicole.
"In your opinion, what should we do?" he asked without missing a beat.
Carl lifted his head and met both Nicole and Jared's gaze.
"Work with me."
"Work with him."
