Chapter 2789

Samuel looked at Spencer, his face as white as a sheet. "Are they talking about us?"

"Looks like it," Spencer replied as shivers ran down his spine.

They were fortunate to have had Patricia on their side, or they would have been in big trouble.

Lulu, looking equally worried, turned to Nicole. "Who are these people, Nicole?"

Nicole's expression grew tense, and her eyes narrowed into a slit. She had hoped to keep them safe by not getting them involved, thinking that ignorance would protect them. But now, they were in just as much danger as she was.

"They're after Ms. Riddle." Patricia chimed in, deciding to fill others in on it after she had seen how troubled Nicole looked.

June gasped, her voice filled with fear. "So, Nicole is their main target?"

The thought that they were almost used as pawns to manipulate Nicole chilled her to the core. They owed their safety to Patricia and Charlie; otherwise, they could have been kidnapped and tortured as means to coerce Nicole into submitting.

Patricia nodded solemnly, her face brimming with concern.' These people are relentless. Since they couldn't reach Ellar, they've decided to focus on Samuel, Spencer, and the rest of us.' Unable to stomach more, Nicole quickly steered the conversation away. "How is Ellar doing?"

She did not want to linger on the dangerous topic. They had limited information about the group, and there was no point in getting everyone even more worried than they already were. "Ellar sustained an injury in his arm. It's serious but not lifethreatening. It's going to make work and daily activities difficult for him," Patricia quietly said.

After nodding, Nicole looked around at her friends and offered them a comforting smile. "You can all head home now. It's alright."

Samuel and the rest hesitated, their concern evident." Maybe we should stick around a little longer."

"No, you should get some rest. I'll stay here until he's out of the ward." Nicole insisted, understanding that the recent scare had taken a toll on them. Then, Lulu looked at Nicole and said, "Okay, we'll leave now."

She understood that they should go home. Besides, they all needed to rest up for the challenges and dangers they might face soon.

"And Lulu? Try to get some sleep. I need you to handle the situation with Harvey quickly," Nicole said with a sense of urgency in her voice.

In response, Lulu nodded. "I understand."

She realized that they had no time to spare. Their issue with Harvey had to be settled as quickly as possible due to the fact that Nicole had bigger problems on her plate now. "Alright, we're leaving. But call us if you need us, okay?" June said.

Nicole's family were all in agreement with each other. If they could not be of help, it was best that they did not get in the way.

"Be careful out there," Samuel and Spencer said to Nicole out of concern.

"I promise to keep her safe," Jared confidently stated.

Feeling reassured, Samuel and Spencer nodded at Jared, trusting him to protect Nicole.

Right after the others had left, Jared gave Max a meaningful look.

"I'll get the security detail ready," Max responded, understanding Jared's concern for their safety.

Charlie, with a serious expression, then told Jared, "I have to leave, Mr. Johnston."

Jared, sensing that Charlie might have found something important, nodded. "Alright, go ahead."
