Chapter 3232
Doretta seemed convinced that Everett's threat had been effective, forcing
Lawrence into a corner.
Nicole's complexion turned a shade paler. Everett's brief words were a mere
threat, but they clearly indicated the gravity of the past events.
Reflecting on it, Nicole realized how someone had detected her return to San
Joto despite her concealed identity and even her lost memory, managing to
ambush her precisely at the airport.
Everything started to make sense. Lawrence didn't want her back, hence the
elaborate setup. To protect her children, she had stayed away from San Joto,
concealing her whereabouts and living on Crescent Island with Nolan and Lana.
"Is there anything else?" Jared's voice was deep and somber.
"That's all I heard. I thought it was crucial to inform Nicole," Doretta replied.
"Max, escort her back,” Jared instructed, then looked at Nicole, who remained
silent.
After Max took Doretta away, only Nicole and Jared were left in the spacious
living room.
"With the truth revealed, Lawrence can't escape," Jared said softly, wrapping his
arms around Nicole, his voice tinged with a cool edge.
Jared had been investigating for so long, and now it appeared that Lawrence had
orchestrated the entire scheme himself. No wonder Max had been unable to find
any leads; probably Lawrence had been sabotaging their efforts covertly.
"It's just unexpected,” Nicole murmured, slightly biting her lip.
She had never suspected Lawrence, the man she once trusted most, who had
offered her complete protection and support.
"Perhaps we should have suspected him all along," Jared stated, his voice cold.
Lawrence held the Fire Crest, and if Nicole hadn't regained her memory, perhaps
no one would have ever found out. Moreover, had Nicole helped Lawrence
unlock the Fire Crest, it might have ended up in his hands.
Jared thought, “Lawrence staging his own betrayal to gain Nicole's trust and keep
her close was probably his best strategy. But such tactics... Nicole's skills were
unmatched by almost anyone in the world, and now..."
Nicole exhaled deeply, looking up at Jared, "It's a relief, really. It has unraveled a
long-standing mystery and allowed me to see Lawrence for who he truly is."
Standing up, she gazed out the window, "In a way, we have Everett to thank.
Let's see what has become of Everett and Lawrence now."
She was aware that the outcome should be clear by now; Everett had no escape,
but it was uncertain how Lawrence would extricate himself. Surely, he wouldn't
betray Everett at this juncture.
Leaving the estate, Nicole and Jared returned to Riddle residence.
"How did it go at the estate?" Lulu asked anxiously as soon as she saw Nicole
return.
"It's settled,” Nicole replied with a smile.
