My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 2907

Chapter 2907

Nicole sighed and in a tone hinting at exasperation, she remarked, "I guess Damien has been putting on a show all these while. He's actually trying to gain the upper hand."

It appeared that Nicole and the rest of her allies had been manipulated and misdirected. Everything Damien had been doing for the past few weeks had all been a smokescreen. Though it seemed that he was leaking information, he was in actuality gaining intel about her.

Initially, Nicole had found his new habits to be rather strange, for he was not the kind of person capable of coming up with elaborate tricks. The reason as to why he had become so shrewd and cunning was stil a mystery to her up until today, but one thing was certain now: his true motives had been revealed. When push came to shove, Damien was a force to be reckoned with.

In an effort to comfort her, Jared gently held Nicole's hands and said, "The truth will be out soon."

"Yeah." Nicole nodded.

After all, Damien had been locked up, so there was no way for him to escape anymore.

Once they had arrived at the headquarters of Riddle Corporation, the car came to a halt, and Nicole got down.

"I'll pick you up after work." Jared said with a gentle look on his face.

Nicole then nodded and turned around to enter the building.

Seeing that Nicole had disappeared into the entrance, Jared smiled and ordered Max to send him to Johnston Group.

"By the way, how are things with Zane?" Jared asked Max.

"They've brought Vaio to the base, but he hasn't said a word. " Max hesitated for a moment. "There's no way he wasn't informed of what his superiors are after. My guess is that the information he carries is classified, so he has decided to remain tight-lipped."

"Let's give it some time." Jared's eyes darkened.

He had faith that Zane would be able to make Vaio spill.

"Alright." Max replied.

Leaning back against his seat, Jared narrowed his eyes, his pupils glinting with cold fury.

The Water Crest had gotten Lawrence and Everett hooked. It had even pulled the Eastern Falcon out of hiding, causing them to risk having their identities exposed to the public and law enforcement. The allure of great power was indeed too overwhelming for them to resist.

As of now, Everett had become a fugitive, the Eastern Falcon's ranks in San Joto had been reduced to Scorpio alone, and then, there was Lawrence. Every single one of them had set their sights on the Water Crest, and all of them wanted to become its bearer, but ultimately, only one would be able to procure it.

Max, get someone to track Everett down." Jared ordered, his voice stern and low.

"Understood," Max replied, his eyes flaring with determination.

Jared then sat back and closed his eyes, drifting further into his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Nicole had just arrived at her office, and it did not take Lulu long to waltz in with a bunch of documents in hand.

"We've got a few rather important documents that'll require your immediate attention. Please go through them." Lulu placed the documents on the table.

"Okay." Nicole replied and looked at Lulu. "Wait, why do you look ill today?"

In response, Lulu furrowed her brows and patted her cheeks a couple of times. "Really?"

"You look a little unwell, but if you're feeling fine, you can stick around."

Judging by the way she was acting, Lulu seemed fine. The paleness on her face must have been a result of overwork.

"I'm fine, but you on the other hand..." Lulu tilted her head and observed Nicole. "Why do you look troubled?"

Indeed, there was a look of anxiety on Nicole's face, as if something major had just happened.

Pursing her lips, Nicole replied, "It's nothing. Perhaps I have just been dealing with a lot on my plate."

Nicole had no plans of telling anyone about the Eastern Falcon's current search for Damien, not wanting them to worry about that which they could do nothing about. Hearing Nicole's response, Lulu nodded and dropped the subject. "If anything happens, you must inform us."

"Alright." Nicole smiled.

Lulu then gave her one last glance, turned around, and exited her office.

For a full minute after that, there was silence, but just as Nicole was about to begin her work, she heard a series of raps on her door again.
