Meanwhile, Nicole returned home and drifted into a peaceful slumber.

The situation required considerable time to unravel, with no immediate resolution in sight. However, Brett was now vigilant, and it was only a matter of time before he was apprehended.

The only perplexing aspect for Nicole was her persistent drowsiness.

She overslept until 10 a.m., awakening to dizziness and nausea.

Nearly stumbling, she managed to grasp the edge of the table for support.

After a brief respite, Nicole gingerly poured herself a glass of honey-infused water in an attempt to soothe her queasy stomach.

Just then, the phone rang. It was Raegan calling.

“Hello, Nicole, I attempted to reach you earlier, but you were unavailable," Raegan stated.

“I was asleep. Just woke up," Nicole clarified.

“Fantastic! You managed to sleep until 10 a.m.!" Knowing Nicole's struggles with insomnia, Raegan wasn't surprised Nicole had overslept.

However, this extended rest was unusual.

Nicole felt she had slept deeply, yet her body remained fatigued.

“I'm unsure why. Nonetheless, I was asleep."

Raegan smiled. “Well, it's a positive sign. Your body's getting better!"

"What's on your mind?" Nicole inquired.

"Recall the situation involving Roscoe? I relayed it to Mitchel, and he found merit in Roscoe's project plan, prompting his investment. I felt it necessary to inform you, alleviating any concerns," Raegan informed.

This development proved promising. With the Dixon Group's investment, it promised not only financial support but also safeguarded the Watts Group's reputation.

Moreover, it would deter other investors and partners from hastily terminating their agreements with Roscoe, opting instead to observe the outcomes. This would effectively address the Watts Group's cash flow challenges while affording Roscoe more time to secure funding.

“Thank you, Raegan," Nicole expressed gratitude.

"No need to thank me, Mitchel is impartial, and his support wasn't merely based on my recommendation. Roscoe's project holds merit."
