My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 3228

Watching Lulu's anxious expression, Nicole couldn't help but shake her head with a light chuckle, "Don't worry, it'll be alright.' After all the preparation, she was confident that they could bring things to a successful conclusion.

"How can I not be anxious? Everett has managed to escape unscathed so many times; I won't be sure of the outcome until the very end," Lulu said, puffing her cheeks slightly in frustration. She was genuinely puzzled by Everett's uncanny ability to survive against the odds time and again.

Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of darkness flashing through them. This time, Lawrence had rescued Everett, but she couldn't fathom why Lawrence would choose to help Everett at this time. She wondered, 'Could it be that Lawrence has some vulnerability that Everett is exploiting?'

Frowning, Nicole felt increasingly skeptical. She knew Lawrence was extremely cautious; if he was aware that Everett had something on him, she doubted Lawrence would be coerced into helping. She suspected Lawrence would rather eliminate Everett than be manipulated by him.

"Nicole, what are you thinking?" Lulu asked, noting Nicole's serious expression.

Snapping back to the moment, Nicole shared her thoughts: "I just find it strange that Lawrence would help Everett." "It is indeed strange. But who can make sense of those two?" Lulu remarked, implying their history of exploiting Nicole.

"Wait a minute." A thought suddenly struck Lulu. "They aren't still plotting to go after your emblem, are they?" "They might think about it, but they are unlikely to act on it," Nicole speculated, raising an eyebrow. At this point, even though Lawrence had saved Everett, it was doubtful they would trust each other enough to collaborate.

"If that's the case, then there's probably only one reason Lawrence saved Everett," Lulu shrugged. "He wants to use Everett."

She suspected that Lawrence might want Everett to do his dirty work, use him as a scapegoat, or, if necessary, sacrifice Everett in his stead.

Nicole nodded in agreement, "You make a good point."

It seemed the only plausible explanation, as Lawrence was not the type to help someone like Everett without seeking some benefit in return.

"Regardless, it doesn't matter. Once we catch Everett today, whatever plans Lawrence has will fall through," Lulu said with a hint of satisfaction, her head tilting slightly in triumph. Once Everett was captured, Lawrence's schemes would crumble.

Nicole looked up at Lulu and offered a calm smile, "It's fine, you can go back to your tasks." "Alright, call me if you need anything," Lulu said before leaving the office.

Leaning back in her chair, Nicole took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, steadying her nerves before picking up the documents next to her. With Jared having directed Max to deploy their team, and with Zane's people ready to assist, all she needed to do was await the outcome.

Meanwhile, in the penthouse suite of a luxurious hotel, Aquila checked his surroundings before entering Everett's room.

"Sir," Aquila greeted, nodding to Everett.

Everett glanced at Aquila and asked in a deep tone, "Are our men still outside?" "Yes, and it seems like there are even more people around now," Aquila said, frowning.

They were aware that the crowd was part of Lawrence's elaborate deception to hide their presence in the hotel, but the sudden increase in numbers was suspicious.

Everett clenched his teeth internally and snorted coldly, "Hmph, he thinks he can use me, but that only works if I agree." "What do you mean, sir?" Aquila was puzzled. What else could Lawrence possibly use them for?

"It's clear Lawrence is getting impatient and planning to make a move against Nicole and Jared. But if I fall, Jared will undoubtedly target him next, so he still needs me as a shield," Everett scoffed dismissively. "Does he really think I'm a fool?" "So, you're saying Lawrence saved US only to divert attention to US, possibly making US take the fall for him?" Aquila asked, his tone laced with indignation.
