My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 3099

Glancing at Nicole, Jared awkwardly excused himself. "I'm going to take a shower," he said.

Nicole chuckled softly, amused by his clear devotion as a doting father. She could only imagine the long road ahead for any boy who fancied Lana, wondering just how exceptional they would have to be to earr Jared's approval.

The next day dawned bright and sunny.

Nicole arrived at the office as usual. Despite a day's worth of work pressing down, thanks to Nicole and Lulu's efforts, the workload left for Nicole wasn't overwhelming.

"Ms. Riddle, it's unusually quiet on Everett's end. Could there be something amiss?" Patricia whispered cautiously.

Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly. Her voice turned cold as she said, "Keep an eye on him."

It seemed out of character for Everett to stay quiet; Nicole felt there had to be something brewing. After the recent events, Everett would likely be more cautious, making him harder to deal with. "Got it," Patricia replied.

"Nicole, do you think Everett will target our company directly next?" Lulu asked, frowning. They had already dealt with issues at several Riddle Corporation subsidiaries, so it seemed unlikely he would go after them again.

Nicole shook her head. "It's hard to say at this point."

"He's such a troublemaker," Lulu muttered, clearly frustrated.

Patricia tried to reassure her. "Don't worry, he's not someone we should be afraid of."

She thought to herself, 'Besides, as Ms. Riddle said, the more restless Everett gets, the better our chances of catching him in the act, hopefully leading to his capture soon.'

"It's just frustrating that he's always causing problems. I'm tired of dealing with him, but we have to stay vigilant," Lulu complained, gritting her teeth.

Nicole couldn't help but chuckle at Lulu's words. "Then let's not think about it and focus on our own tasks."

"Ms. Riddle, I'll be heading out then," Patricia nodded.

"Alright," Nicole responded.

Lulu excused herself as well and followed Patricia out.

"Why didn't you go yesterday?" Lulu asked Patricia, referring to Nolan and Lana's birthday party.

Understanding Lulu meant the birthday party, Patricia explained, "It was a family gathering, and it wouldn't have been appropriate for me to attend. But I did send gifts." "Oh, come on, you're practically family to US," Lulu said, patting Patricia on the shoulder with a smile.

Patricia just smiled back instead of commenting further.

"It was quite lively yesterday. The unmarried ones got the marriage talk again, especially Ellar. It seems his mother is really desperate," Lulu said, glancing at Patricia. Patricia's expression stiffened for a moment before she tried to appear calm. "That's good to hear."

"We also think it's about time for Ellar to settle down." Lulu lamented dramatically, "It's such a pity."

"A pity about what?" Patricia looked at Lulu, puzzled and a bit concerned.

Lulu secretly snickered inside but put on a worried face. "It's a pity Ellar himself isn't willing."

"Not willing to do what?" Patricia was confused, prompting further explanation. She wondered, 'Is it about his parents trying to find a girlfriend for him, and he isn't interested?' Lulu shook her head as if resigned. "Ellar is not interested in finding a girlfriend right now."

After saying that, Lulu blinked her eyes at Patricia, who was momentarily stunned before realizing she had been teased by Lulu.
