My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2887

They did not anticipate that Vaio would attempt to pull a dirty trick on them. If Nicole had not intercepted the last hit, Patricia would have joined the rest of her team members in the pile. "It's all right." Nicole said, relieved after knowing that temporary unconsciousness was all Patricia's team had sustained.

"But Damien still managed to escape," Patricia spat in annoyance.

"They can't get away. When I came around the clearing, I encountered them, and that was how I knew you were here," Nicole explained.

In fact, that was how she had managed to get to Patricia in time.

Upon hearing this, Patricia nodded and replied, "That's good. I'll go after them now."

"Leave a mark for Charlie first. I'll accompany you after that," Nicole said, leaving a mark on one of the tree trunks before following Patricia to one of the caves in pursuit of Damien.

While they were on their way, Patricia proceeded to detail to Nicole everything that had happened last night.

"Initially, our plan was to let them fall into our trap. We've even disseminated the news, but unfortunately, our enemies

didn't fall for it, so they never ended up entering the yard," Patricia said, before sighing in defeat.

"Pretty clever of them, huh?" Nicole scoffed.

"Yeah, we were left with no choice. We'd be damned if we missed such a good opportunity to get them, so we've loosened Damien's bonds and allowed him to escape. After that, we followed him and his band of jackasses into the mountains and into their lair," Patricia continued.

Nicole nodded. "So they didn't actually discover you. They were simply on guard from the beginning."

"Yes, and because of that, we had to be extra cautious along the way too. Even though there were a few windows of opportunity for us to act, we did not seize them. The goal was to have our enemies let their guards down. We wanted them to think we've lost track of them."

If they had acted from the very beginning, Vaio would have caught them there, thwarted their attempts to get to Damien, and beaten them to a pulp, ending their mission there and then.

Nodding, Nicole narrowed her eyes. "They will hole up in the mountains and prepare for their escape after the trail has gone cold. If Damien manages to escape this time, it's possible that he won't ever be coming back."

"And that's why we mustn't let him go. There are two individuals who have come all the way here to assist him, and they are definitely not people we should take lightly." Patricia gritted her teeth.

Her objective now was to capture and bring these two individuals back alive. Whatever it was that Damien had been keeping to himself, these two men would be more willing to let slip.

"Let's go and take a look." Nicole nodded and continued following Patricia.

Nicole and Patricia were not worried about Vaio at all. The dosage in that baton was probably sufficient to put a full grown elephant to sleep for a good few hours.

After a short trek, the duo quickly arrived at the path where Damien and the man had taken off to. The deeper into the woods they were, the denser the vegetation became, making it difficult for them to see what was ahead of them clearly.

"They are hiding here? Aren't they afraid of bears and other people coming after them at night?" Patricia snorted in annoyance.

"It's probably not ideal for them to make their escape now. Otherwise, they should be trying to find a way to leave as soon as possible," Nicole inferred.

Patricia frowned. "Now that you mention it, I remember that they seemed to be discussing something as they were heading into the caves last night. They were planning to make one last deal or something." However, she did not manage to get a grasp of the details of their conversation. She swore they were definitely planning something, but she could not figure out what it was to be exact. Furrowing her brows, Nicole asked, "One last deal?"

"Yes, I think they're up to something much bigger in scale, but I can't figure out what it is for crying out loud. I have a feeling that something is in the works." Patricia narrowed her eyes, serious and grim. Whatever it was, it would not bode well if they succeeded.

After a moment of hesitation, Nicole grabbed Patricia by the shoulder and said, "Wait a minute."

"What?" Patricia looked around warily.

"Let's not rush in trying to find them." Nicole paused and pondered for a moment. "If they're really up to something, finding them and getting to them at this moment will be meaningless." "Are you letting them go?" Patricia asked, her brows furrowed in concern.

Nicole shook her head. "No. What I'm suggesting is that we should wait for a while longer. Jared and the others should be here soon."

She thought it would be better for them to discuss with Jared on how to proceed next, and so, they waited.

After about an hour, Jared arrived as she had anticipated, putting a smile on her face. "I knew you would come."

Jared's eyes softened when he noticed that she was unharmed and unscathed.

He walked over to her, wrapped his hands around hers, and said, "You've been waiting for me, haven't you?"
