Doretta nodded, understanding that Patricia and Charlie had also been through
tough times.
Fortunately, through their own efforts, they had supported each other and made it
to this point.
Emma glanced at the time and suggested, "It's about time; let's talk over dinner."
"Sure," everyone agreed, standing up and heading to the dining room.
After a lively dinner, Patricia and Doretta said their goodbyes and left.
Ellar was a bit sad as he watched Patricia and Doretta walk away together,
refusing his offer to escort them.
He had been happy when Patricia agreed to come with him, but now he
wondered if she only came because of Doretta, which made him feel more alone.
After they left, Patricia and Doretta didn't go their separate ways.
They found a quiet spot.
"Ts there something else?" Doretta checked their surroundings before she spoke.
"It's about Ms.
Riddle..." Patricia then briefly explained the situation that had unfolded earlier in
the day and cautioned, "I know you're investigating Lawrence, but please hurry.

"Okay, I understand.” It seemed Lawrence was indeed becoming impatient, and
they should indeed be more vigilant.
"The safety of Nicole is in my hands; I will do everything I can.
The rest is up to you and Charlie,” Patricia said with a serious tone.
Doretta nodded.
"Don't worry, we will do our best too." After a nod, Patricia looked around before
quickly leaving.

Her identity couldn't be exposed yet, so it was better to be careful.
Doretta waited a moment to ensure no one was watching her before she left.

They were now in the living room, keeping Nolan and Lana company while
watching TV.
"Nicole, why do you seem so preoccupied? Has something happened?" Gloria,
noticing Nicole seemed troubled, couldn't help but express her concern.
"It's nothing, just some work-related matters," Nicole responded with a reassuring
smile, trying to comfort Gloria.
Gloria's brow furrowed slightly.
"Is it that work has been too exhausting? You look a bit pale.
Maybe you should take a few days off." "Really, it's nothing.

Gloria remained somewhat concerned, her expression growing more serious.
"Mom, I'm managing a conglomerate now, so it's normal to have a lot on my
plate.
Plus, some past events have settled down, so I just need to straighten things out.
It'll be fine soon," Nicole reassured her, linking arms with Gloria.
"Sean is there too, and in a few days, Sally will be discharged, and Steve can
return to the company.
I believe they can handle it," Daniel chimed in, offering comfort as well.
