Chapter 3166-we will update soon..

Chapter 3167

"Mr. Royce, as expected, Nicole has leveraged the power of the Crests, enlisting the aid of several families to navigate through this crisis," lan said softly.

"Mm," Lawrence responded nonchalantly, seemingly unsurprised.

“Everett has been very quiet. | wonder what he's planning. Should we make our move?" lan inquired. Leaning against the couch, Lawrence replied calmly, "No rush, the real show hasn't started yet." “What do you mean, sir?" lan was somewhat puzzled.

"Do you really think Nicole would ignore the matter with Ellar?" Lawrence countered.

lan furrowed his brows. "Patricia has been at BayCorp, and if she hasn't found anything, it must be because Doretta has hidden it too well."

He felt that Nicole wasn't ignoring the issue; it was just that Doretta had hidden it too deeply.

"No, Patricia's capabilities aren't that weak. More importantly, they should know that the seal is missing, yet they've kept it quiet. That indicates there's a problem."

"Should we warn Everett?" lan was somewhat concerned.

Lawrence waved his hand dismissively. "No need." He was merely speculating and couldn't be sure of anything. So, he just wanted to see what Nicole was really up to.

“But what if..." lan was genuinely worried. If this was truly Nicole's maneuver, then Everett might be in for a disastrous defeat. If they didn’t warn Everett now and Everett ended up failing, they would be exposed.

“As long as Everett isn't beyond redemption, we shouldn't intervene." Lawrence had already helped Everett in the shadows last time, and Nicole must have noticed. He couldn't act rashly again.

Lawrence thought to himself, Everett still seemed capable, so he decided to let him face his challenges alone. If Everett truly started to fail, Lawrence might step in to help. As long as Everett was safe, that was sufficient.

For Lawrence, preserving Everett was crucial to continuing his schemes in the shadows without attracting attention. "Yes, sir," lan responded, understanding Lawrence's concerns and plans.

The next day dawned bright and sunny, and Nicole arrived at the company as usual.

"How's it going? Still no movement from Everett?" Lulu asked Nicole.

With a slight smile, Nicole replied, "It should be soon."

Everett no longer had any other way out. Having received the seal from Doretta, he was probably eager to use it to threaten Ellar by now.

"Can Patricia and the others handle it?" Lulu was a bit worried, unsure if they should seek additional help.

"They can." Moreover, they absolutely couldn't show themselves now. If she went to BayCorp at this moment, Everett might become aware of their actions.

"That's good then," Lulu nodded.

Nicole looked up at Lulu. "How about on your end?"

"Oh, the issues with several companies have been resolved, and I've already arranged for project managers to discuss further. Everything

should be back to normal in the next few days," Lulu responded with a bit more seriousness. "Mm," Nicole nodded in satisfaction, glad everything was going smoothly. "I'll get back to my work then," Lulu said, seeing there were no further instructions from Nicole.

"Sure, let's have lunch together," Nicole smiled, knowing Lulu had been overwhelmed with work lately and letting her go ahead with her tasks.

'TH come find you for lunch," Lulu nodded, then turned and left.

Nicole leaned back in her chair, her gaze deepened. ‘Everett must be aware of yesterday's events by now, and Doretta should have given him the seal. He will likely take action soon...’

 

Chapter 3168

Meanwhile, at BayCorp, Ellar noticed Doretta arriving at work as usual, looking relaxed as if nothing had happened, which made him feel uneasy.

He stood up and went to Patricia's office, asking her, "Do you think something might be wrong?" "What kind of problem could there be?" Patricia raised an eyebrow in inquiry.

The seal was commissioned by him, and he was more than clear about that. Moreover, he was now certain that Doretta had taken it, and by this point, it was likely already in Everett's hands.

Understanding Patricia's implication, Ellar sighed. "I get it, but Doretta's behavior is just too odd."

That's why he was feeling unsettled. Could it be that Doretta discovered something and didn't hand over the seal to Everett? Patricia couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "Acting like this is more likely to make her suspicious, you know."

"| haven't done anything though?" Ellar claimed innocently.

With a sigh, Patricia advised, "That's exactly why you should go back to work and act normal.”

Even though Doretta seemed calm on the surface after such an incident, there was no way she could be truly at peace. Therefore, they needed to be even more cautious and composed than Doretta.

Seeing Patricia's firm stance, Eliar could only sigh and agree. "Alright then, I'll go back."

"It's your company, after all," Patricia thought to herself with an inward eye roll, reminding him to work as if she were forcing him into servitude.

Biting his lip, Ellar made a determined request. "Patricia, if we succeed this time, could you stay and not go back to Riddle Corporation?"

Patricia was momentarily stiffened by his unexpected request, realizing that she would soon leave to return to Riddle Corporation. Surprisingly, she felt a tinge of reluctance.

Taking a deep breath, Patricia suppressed her feelings of reluctance and responded pragmatically, "Once things here are wrapped up, | naturally have to go back."

Ellar opened his mouth to speak but eventually looked somewhat dejected as he said, "Oh."

Without adding anything more, Ellar turned and walked away.

Watching his somewhat forlorn figure, Patricia unconsciously bit her lip, feeling a faint ache in her heart. Back in his office, El la r sat down and stared blankly at the documents on his desk.

"Ellar, what's wrong?" Doretta's voice rang out.

Ellar glanced up at her and said, "I'm fine. How did you come in?"

"Oh, | knocked, but you didn't answer. | was a bit worried, so | came in," Doretta immediately explained.

"Is there something you need?" Ellar asked indifferently.

"| brought a document for you." Doretta placed the document down. "It's somewhat urgent, so it needs your immediate attention." Ellar glanced at the document and said, "Leave it. I'll let you know when I've reviewed it.”

"Okay, then I'll leave for now." After saying this, Doretta looked at Ellar again. "Ellar, are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine, you can go,” Ellar responded and then picked up the document.

Seeing this, Doretta bit her lip and lowered her head as she left.

When Ellar heard the door close, his grip on the document tightened slightly, and his eyes narrowed a bit.

Doretta had already succeeded, and her coming to the office could also be understood as not wanting to expose herself too early. He wondered, ‘But is there really a need for her to continue showing concern for me? Or is she here to monitor me?’

Indeed, as Patricia had said, they needed to be more composed and not let Doretta detect any flaws. Ellartook a deep breath, his gaze fell on the document, and he started immersing himself in work.

Regardless, the company's affairs couldn't be neglected. They had to deal with Everett, but the company also needed to continue its operations.

Chapter 3169

At lunchtime, Lulu came to invite Nicole out for a meal.

After a busy morning, their stomachs were growling with hunger.

“Nicole, let's go,’ Lulu called out as she opened the door.

"Okay," Nicole agreed, putting down the document she was holding and getting up from her desk. As the two prepared to leave for lunch, they suddenly heard someone calling them.

Nicole turned around to see Sean and Steve. "Hey guys, what's up?"

"Going out for lunch?" Sean glanced at Nicole and Lulu.

"Yeah, wanna join us?" Nicole asked, noticing they were also planning to grab lunch.

"| can't, |need to head home for a bit. Sally has a prenatal checkup this afternoon," Steve replied. "What about you, Sean?" Nicole turned to Sean.

"Wait a sec, Jane will be here soon, and we'll all go together," Sean said, looking toward the office direction. Sure enough, Jane was coming their way and soon joined the group.

"Jane," Nicole and Lulu greeted.

Jane nodded in acknowledgment, standing next to Sean.

Sean held her hand and said, "They're also heading out for lunch; let's go together."

"Sure," Jane agreed.

The group quickly left the company, and after Steve said his goodbyes, he drove off.

The others got into a car and headed to a nearby restaurant.

Once seated and their orders placed, Nicole asked Sean, Everything's going smoothly, right?" “All's well," Sean replied, then looked at Jane.

Jane added, "Yes, the companies have all resumed operations, and they've shown great interest in the new plans we've recently proposed. Follow-up discussions will be arranged."

"You've all been working hard lately,’ Nicole noted.

She was aware that the handling of both significant and minor company matters had been primarily up to Sean, Jane, and Lulu lately. Except for documents requiring her signature, Lulu would not bother her unnecessarily.

With Steve needing to care for Sally, Sean's responsibilities had increased significantly, naturally involving Jane in the busyness as well.

"You've been working hard too," Lulu said with a smile. "We handle internal matters, and you take care of the external ones." Although Nicole’s involvement in company operations had decreased, she was not entirely relaxed and, moreover, had more critical issues to address.

“Exactly, our work is routine, but what you're dealing with is much more important," Jane said, looking at Nicole with empathy.

After being inexplicably absent for five years and now facing so many challenges upon her return, Nicole's situation was indeed pitiable.

"Things will conclude soon," Nicole reassured, noticing Jane's concern, with a comforting smile.

Jane chuckled softly, shaking her head. Initially wanting to comfort Nicole, she found Nicole comforting her instead. “Alright, let's eat," Sean changed the subject.

Given the circumstances, all they needed to do was what was expected of them.

"Okay." The group enjoyed their meal, engaging in light conversation.

Since they were out for a lunch break to relax, they decided to talk about pleasant and uplifting topics.

After lunch, they returned to the company.

"Patricia!" Seeing Patricia, Lulu was somewhat surprised. "What brings you back?"

Wasn't Patricia supposed to be keeping an eye on things at BayCorp at this time? Could it be...

Chapter 3170

Lulu's expression turned complex as if she had realized something. It must be Everett making his move!

"Let's talk inside," Nicole suggested after glancing at Patricia.

"Yes," Patricia agreed, following Nicole into the office with Lulu close behind.

"Should we go have a look?" Jane quietly asked Sean.

Sean's gaze darkened slightly. "Let's trust Nicole to handle it. We should focus on our tasks."

This way, Nicole wouldn't have to be distracted and could concentrate on her own matters.

"Understood," Jane acknowledged Sean's intent and left with him.

Inside the office.

Patricia reported to Nicole, "Everything was quiet this morning, but during lunch, Everett showed up and took Ellar away."

"He couldn't resist making a move, then," Lulu commented with a grimace.

"What happened next?” Nicole asked in a serious tone.

"I was secretly following them, but I was discovered and had to return here, " Patricia continued.

"You were discovered! Do they have someone that skilled?" Lulu expressed incredulously.

"I've never seen this person before, but they were indeed very capable," Patricia admitted with some frustration. "It was my carelessness."

Nicole reassured Patricia, "If Everett had been intentionally hiding such a person, it would indeed be difficult for US to detect them."

It's likely that Everett brought this person back from San Joto and kept them hidden, which is why they were unaware of their existence.

"Ms. Riddle, what concerns me is..." Patricia bit her lip, her expression turning grim.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Nicole then said, "You're worried that it's not just one person, but a group."

"Yes," Patricia nodded, the possibility that Everett could hide such a person made her suspect there might not be just one. A single individual like this was able to expose and stop her; if there was a group of such people, it would indeed be troublesome.

Lulu's reaction was one of dawning realization, and she turned pale. "If there really is a group like that, then all our efforts so far might have been in vain."

Capturing a few of Everett's people only to find he had more capable ones was indeed frustrating.

"Let Charlie investigate," Nicole said, her gaze darkening.

Now that someone had shown themselves, there must be a trail to follow.

Whether it was one person or a group, there should be traces left behind.

Importantly, now that Everett had let this person come forward, he might no longer be planning to hide them. Or perhaps, at this point, Everett saw no need to hide them anymore.

"Yes, I'll inform him of the situation," Patricia responded.

"What do we do now?" Lulu worried, "Could Ellar be in danger?" She thought, 'With someone so capable standing with Everett, and Ellar being

taken away alone, could they be planning to harm him?'

"Not for the moment," Patricia shook her head. "Currently, Everett doesn't know that the BayCorp's seal he has is fake, so he will definitely threaten Ellar. He won't harm Ellar before achieving his goal."

Considering this, she had returned to report the situation to Nicole.

She believed Ellar would soon return to the company and start an extensive internal investigation about the seal.

This was part of their initial plan; showing desperation and concern would make Everett believe he had succeeded.

Nicole pondered for a moment before saying, "You go back to BayCorp and work with Ellar."

"Okay," Patricia agreed.

"Everett is so cunning, please be very careful," Lulu warned Patricia.

Feeling a touch of warmth, Patricia replied, "We will."

Watching Patricia leave, Lulu sighed. "Everett is indeed too cunning."
