"She's been in her room since she got back, seemingly behaving herself for
now," Aquila reported.
Everett's gaze darkened slightly as he instructed, "Keep an eye on her." "Sir, if
we manage to escape this time, are we taking her with US?" Aquila asked,
somewhat perplexed. In his view, it would have been simpler to deal with Doretta
immediately, eliminating any further concerns.
"Keep her for now. She might still serve as a bargaining chip if we can't escape
smoothly," Everett responded with a snort.
Aquila was taken aback. "They would be willing to negotiate for Doretta? Really?"
He doubted the others would compromise for Doretta's sake, considering they'd
likely prefer to see her brought to justice.
"They might not, but Emma would," Everett stated confidently.
He vividly remembered how Emma had earnestly tried to persuade Doretta to
reconsider her path, even casting a concerned look back at Doretta when
leaving, a look filled with distress. That expression alone indicated Emma cared
about Doretta.
Aquila, unaware of the full situation, expressed his doubt. "Sir, even after Doretta
orchestrated Emma's capture, would she still be willing to help her?
"Follow my orders," Everett said firmly, ending the discussion with a stern look at
Aquila.
Aquila bowed respectfully. "Understood." He understood that Everett was no
longer interested in discussing the matter.
"You may leave now," Everett said, leaning back on the couch, his eyes revealing
a depth of unspoken thoughts.
Aquila exited quietly, carefully closing the door behind him.
Everett's gaze narrowed as he sat back, his eyes staring into the distance, deep
in thought.
He knew Lawrence wouldn't have rescued him out of pure kindness; there had to
be a hidden agenda. However, with his current lack of power, Everett couldn't
understand what he could possibly offer that Lawrence might want.
'If it's about controlling the Eastern Falcon, Lawrence already has more power
than I do; he wouldn't care about such a small force.
Despite this, he couldn't think of anything else, as he had nothing left to offer.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the hotel, lan voiced his concerns. "Sir, do you think
he'll stay?" "If he was the type to stay put, he wouldn't be Everett," Lawrence
scoffed.” Have some people pretend to be plainclothes officers to make it seem
like there's a secret manhunt in the area.” "Understood," lan replied,
understanding that this tactic would likely keep Everett in check.
"Any updates from Nicole's side?" Lawrence asked, his gaze sharp.
"We have people discreetly gathering information, but there haven't been any
major findings yet, sir. You can be confident in our efforts," lan reported.
"Good, make sure our information is secure; they shouldn't have any idea about
our operations,” Lawrence instructed.
“Til take care of it," lan assured carefully.
"Hmm," Lawrence hummed, leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed.
lan started the car, and they left the hotel.
The next day was bright and sunny.
After Nicole and Jared woke up, they went downstairs.
