"Mr. Royce, as expected, Nicole has leveraged the power of the Crests, enlisting the aid of several
families to navigate through this crisis," Ian said softly.
"Mm," Lawrence responded nonchalantly, seemingly unsurprised.
"Everett has been very quiet. I wonder what he's planning. Should we make our move?" Ian inquired.
Leaning against the couch, Lawrence replied calmly, "No rush, the real show hasn't started yet."
"What do you mean, sir?" Ian was somewhat puzzled.
"Do you really think Nicole would ignore the matter with Ellar?" Lawrence countered.
Ian furrowed his brows. "Patricia has been at BayCorp, and if she hasn't found anything, it must be
because Doretta has hidden it too well."
He felt that Nicole wasn't ignoring the issue; it was just that Doretta had hidden it too deeply.
"No, Patricia's capabilities aren't that weak. More importantly, they should know that the seal is missing,
yet they've kept it quiet. That indicates there's a problem."
"Should we warn Everett?" Ian was somewhat concerned.
Lawrence waved his hand dismissively. "No need." He was merely speculating and couldn't be sure of
anything. So, he just wanted to see what Nicole was really up to.
"But what if..." Ian was genuinely worried. If this was truly Nicole's maneuver, then Everett might be in
for a disastrous defeat. If they didn’t warn Everett now and Everett ended up failing, they would be
exposed."As long as Everett isn't beyond redemption, we shouldn't intervene." Lawrence had already helped
Everett in the shadows last time, and Nicole must have noticed. He couldn't act rashly again.
Lawrence thought to himself, Everett still seemed capable, so he decided to let him face his challenges
alone. If Everett truly started to fail, Lawrence might step in to help. As long as Everett was safe, that
was sufficient.
For Lawrence, preserving Everett was crucial to continuing his schemes in the shadows without
attracting attention.
"Yes, sir," Ian responded, understanding Lawrence's concerns and plans.
The next day dawned bright and sunny, and Nicole arrived at the company as usual.
"How's it going? Still no movement from Everett?" Lulu asked Nicole.
With a slight smile, Nicole replied, "It should be soon."
Everett no longer had any other way out. Having received the seal from Doretta, he was probably
eager to use it to threaten Ellar by now.
"Can Patricia and the others handle it?" Lulu was a bit worried, unsure if they should seek additional
help.
"They can." Moreover, they absolutely couldn't show themselves now. If she went to BayCorp at this
moment, Everett might become aware of their actions.
"That's good then," Lulu nodded.
Nicole looked up at Lulu. "How about on your end?""Oh, the issues with several companies have been resolved, and I've already arranged for project
managers to discuss further. Everything
should be back to normal in the next few days," Lulu responded with a bit more seriousness.
"Mm," Nicole nodded in satisfaction, glad everything was going smoothly.
"I'll get back to my work then," Lulu said, seeing there were no further instructions from Nicole.
"Sure, let's have lunch together," Nicole smiled, knowing Lulu had been overwhelmed with work lately
and letting her go ahead with her tasks.
novelbin'TH come find you for lunch," Lulu nodded, then turned and left.
Nicole leaned back in her chair, her gaze deepened. 'Everett must be aware of yesterday's events by
now, and Doretta should have given him the seal. He will likely take action soon...'
