Chapter 2802

"He's very intelligent, so it's not unnatural for him to be able to figure it out." Jared looked at Nicole with a smile.

Nicole bit her lip and hesitated for a moment. "He suspects that it's Lawrence."

Jared narrowed his eyes, not surprised to hear that Lawrence might be the one behind this again.

"But what does Lawrence want exactly?" Nicole muttered, unable to pinpoint the end game he had in mind this time.

Even if he wanted to get Nolan to do something for him through a game, the question as to why he specifically enlisted Nolan still remained. The boy was ultimately still a five-year-old child, even though he was a genius for one.

In the same vein, there were many other prolific hackers who were far more skilled and capable than Nolan, and with them around, Lawrence had no reason to seek Nolan out for help. Apart from his interest and aptitude in hacking, Nolan was not very different from other children.

At this age where they were supposed to be playful and mischievous, they should be precluded from getting involved in more serious matters such as those the adults had to deal with.

"We'll find out eventually," Jared comforted Nicole.

"I'm just worried. Lawrence wouldn't harm Nolan, right?"

Nicole asked in concern.

If Lawrence was reckless enough to get Nolan involved in his affairs, she would never forgive him.

"He won't," Jared reassured as he gently patted her on the shoulder.

He understood that Lawrence would not intentionally put Nolan in harm's way, even though he had motives that could best be described as nefarious.

"I would've said that in the past too, but now, I can't be sure anymore." Nicole sighed.

She realized that she and Lawrence were growing more distant. Or to put it bluntly, to call what they had a friendship at this rate would be a misnomer.

"It's very late. Let's go to sleep," Jared said, leading her to the bed.

To him, it would be pointless to mull over certain things now. After all, they would eventually find out who the person responsible was and what their true intentions were.

After lying down, Nicole felt a sense of lethargy washing over her, and she drifted off to sleep in no time.

All of a sudden, Jared opened his eyes as Nicole's gentle breathing filled his ears. His eyes darkened as he glanced at Nicole. He then took his phone out and tiptoed his way to the balcony. Once he had dialed Max's number, he whispered, "Get someone to watch Lawrence 24/7."

"Understood," Max replied. "Did something happen, Mr. Johnston?"

"The game Nolan's playing... It's probably created by Lawrence," Jared replied coldly.

Although he believed Lawrence would not harm Nolan, he was also certain that Lawrence's actual target was Nicole. And as far as Nicole was concerned, Jared would never allow Lawrence to get anything from her.

"Okay, understood." Max's tone became serious. "I'll assign the most capable in our midst to handle this."

"Don't spread the word about this for now," Jared cautioned.

"Got it," Max responded.

Then, Jared hung up and glanced at Nicole again. His gaze softened once he saw that she was still fast asleep as he ambled back into the room.

However, he remained seated on the edge of the bed as soon as he came in, not wanting to lie down yet. He had just returned from the balcony and was worried that the coldness of his body might disturb her sleep.

After about a five minute wait, when he felt that his skin was not as cold anymore, he lifted the blanket and laid down next to Nicole.
