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 sd.


    "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 idents 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 toe back to an empty


    dining table." Nicole shook her head and pulled Chloe into the room. She then ced 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 wasforted 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 aputer, 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.


    This 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 ringputer 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.
