My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

"Perhaps," lan muttered, his head drooping. He genuinely didn't know how he'd been detected, but it seemed a plausible explanation now.

Lawrence sighed and said, "It seems we need to be more cautious in our future endeavors."

He was well aware that Jared was not an easy adversary, especially with Zane's support. Even though Nicole wasn't as physically formidable as before, her other capabilities remained intact, not to mention her possession of the Fire Crest and Water Crest.

"Sir, about the matter Everett mentioned..." Ian began hesitantly, his unease palpable, "if he were to reveal it..."

The threat Everett held over Lawrence could severely compromise him if made public.

"Eliminate the threat. The dead don't talk," Lawrence stated coldly, his eyes harboring a ruthless glint.

Even though Everett had blackmailed him, Lawrence never intended to spare him. Those who knew more than they should weren't worth keeping alive.

"Understood," lan responded quietly.

With a final nod to Lawrence, lan turned and exited the room.

Leaning back against the couch, Lawrence's eyes were shadowed with dark thoughts.

He couldn't fathom how Everett had learned about the past incident, but dwelling on that wasn't the priority. The secrecy of that matter was paramount; its exposure would make his future precarious.

Though his past actions had already hurt Nicole, she still regarded him as her savior, not holding him in complete contempt. However, if the truth were to come out, the only relationship left between them would be that of irreconcilable enemies.

The next day dawned bright and sunny.

After breakfast, Nicole and Jared dropped Nolan and Lana off at the kindergarten and then headed to Riddle Corporation.

As Nicole stepped out of the car, Lulu approached her eagerly, "Nicole, what brings you here? Didn't Sean suggest you take a few days off?" "I don't find work tiring, and being here feels like rest during the quiet moments," Nicole replied with a smile.

"Oh, then let's go up," Lulu responded.

After bidding Jared goodbye, Nicole entered the company building with Lulu.

Once the car was moving again, Jared spoke in a low voice, "After wrapping up Everett's case, coordinate with Zane to investigate Lawrence." "Understood," Max replied respectfully.

While they were talking, Max's phone rang. He answered it, and his reaction was one of sheer astonishment. "How could such a thing happen?" "Alright, I understand," he said, hanging up, his complexion turning pale, still seemingly struggling to grasp the news.

"What is it?" Jared asked in a subdued tone.

Max collected himself before replying, "Everett is dead."

Jared's eyes narrowed, his expression darkening. "What happened?" "Charlie isn't sure; he's sent people to investigate," Max informed.

"And what about Zane's side?" Jared inquired further.

"They're looking into it too, but there's no outcome yet," Max replied.

Leaning back in his seat, Jared exuded a chilling aura. Although he remained silent, his demeanor was unnervingly formidable.
