Chapter 3231
Doretta's pupils contracted slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she decided
to stay put. She figured there was no need to follow; Everett wasn't likely to
escape today. By threatening Lawrence, Everett had sealed his fate-if Lawrence
managed to take him, the odds would not be in Everett's favor.
Everett knew this as well; his earlier outburst was a desperate measure. He still
planned to find a way to escape; being captured or returning with Lawrence
wasn't an option, as it would likely lead to his death.
Seth, leading his team, glanced at Doretta. She subtly gestured toward the back
door, and understanding her hint, Seth directed his team to pursue.
Ten minutes later, the operation inside the factory concluded.
The captured men from Lawrence's group were sent to the police station by
Max's team.
As for Lawrence and Everett, Seth and his team pursued them, determined not to
let Everett get away.
Once everything settled down and quieted, Doretta slowly approached
Jared's car and said, "Mr. Johnston, I wish to see Mrs. Johnston."
Jared frowned, aware that Doretta was one of Zane’s people. Yet, her immediate
desire wasn't to meet Zane after escaping danger but to speak with Nicole, which
was intriguing.
"I have something important to discuss with Mrs. Johnston," Doretta said, biting
her lip. "It's about something that happened years ago."
A flash of cold light passed through Jared's eyes, and he said sternly, "Get in."
Doretta opened the passenger door, got into the car, and settled in.
Max started the car, driving toward Riddle residence.
Whatever Doretta was hinting at wasn't entirely clear, but it seemed they all had a
guess about the nature of the matter.
Upon reaching Riddle residence, Max drove into the estate.
Jared had already sent a message to Nicole, who was waiting at the estate. They
entered the living room, where Nicole looked up at Doretta, offering a gentle,
welcoming smile, "You've had a hard time." "Mrs. Johnston," Doretta greeted
Nicole with respect as she approached.
Nicole responded with a light laugh, "No need to be so formal, you can consider
me a senior of sorts. Just call me Nicole."
Given that Nicole had once been part of Zane's organization and Doretta was
currently with them, there was a sort of kinship.
"Nicole," Doretta responded with a pleased smile. "But I must say, my
achievements can't compare to yours." "People from Zane's team aren't known to
sell themselves short,” Nicole teased.
Doretta’s laughter lightened the atmosphere, easing some of the tension from her
recent ordeals of hiding and fleeing with Everett.
Interrupting timidly, Max said, "'Doretta, you mentioned you had something
important to discuss with Mrs. Johnston..."

Doretta frowned slightly and said, "That's all I heard. But after Everett mentioned
this, Lawrence indeed fled with him."
