My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2888

"Yeah." Nicole nodded. "There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Jared asked in a low voice.

Nicole proceeded to brief Jared on Patricia's findings and then looked at him, saying, "I don't think we should capture those two individuals for now. We should comb through the entire mountain without actually apprehending them."

"So, you're trying to lull them into a false sense of security and capture them once they've left the pass?" Jared raised his hand to tidy her hair, having guessed what she was up to.

Knowing that he had called it, Nicole smiled. "Yes, let's trick them into thinking it's safe to proceed so that they'll make a move."

If Nicole stormed in and captured Damien as well as his associate now, they might alter their plans, making their efforts next to fruitless.

"Alright." Jared agreed and turned to Charlie. "Take care of it. n

"Yes." Charlie nodded.

Once that was settled, Patricia stepped in and said, "Our people are still lying over there, and we've also captured one of them. Let's take them back together."

Charlie glanced over at Patricia, and after he was certain that they were all okay, he led them away.

"Let's head home." Jared said, before grabbing her hand and leading her away from the mountain.

Back in the car now, Nicole leaned her head on Jared's shoulder. "Sorry for making you worry."

Unable to fault her for what she had done, Jared caressed her hair and replied, "Don't go around risking your safety anymore, alright?"

Nicole sighed, knowing that she should not be running off on her own. "I know I'm not as agile as before. I was just trying my luck. I wasn't planning to put myself in danger."

She also understood that if something happened to her, everyone would be in a huge mess since she was the prime target of her enemies.

Lowering his gaze, Jared stared at her, his eyes brimming with affection.

Nicole then smiled and said, "Well, I guess I was lucky."

Jared shook his head in defeat and gently tapped Nicole on the forehead. "Luck won't always be on your side."

In a gesture of defiance, Nicole stuck her tongue out at him. "This is a special case."

Soon after, the car stopped, and Nicole looked outside. That was when she noticed they had arrived at Riddle Corporation.

"Are you going in with me?" Nicole frowned, feeling a little conflicted about whether Jared should show up in public with her or not.

There was no secret passage through which Jared could enter here. If someone spotted Jared as he was entering the building, his entire ruse would be exposed for what it was.

Unbothered by the possibility of being discovered, Jared pulled Nicole out of the car. "It's okay. Max should be wrapping up over there now."

"Okay." Nicole reversed her grip, her fingers interlocking with Jared's.

Since there was little sense in her worrying about Jared being discovered anymore, she could now walk with him in public.

Patricia then got out of the car and followed the two into the headquarters of Riddle Corporation.

Lulu, as expected, was on the brink of tears when she saw them all returning in one piece. "It's good that everyone is back safely!"

They had been worried sick while Nicole was gone, and every minute in their wait felt like an eternity.

When Ellar saw Patricia coming in, he leaped to his feet and lumbered toward Patricia before giving her a hug. "Can you not do something as risky as this anymore? I was really worried!" Patricia froze, completely taken aback by what Ellar had just done, but when she eventually came to, she pushed him

away and warned him, "Just talk if you have something to say. Don't get all touchy with me."

However, Ellar was undeterred; he proceeded to hold her hand as he scanned her from head to toe. "Are you okay? Where were you all night...?"
