Chapter 2385

“Alright,” Nicole agreed.

“I’ll walk you out,” Tia offered as soon as Nicole had said the word.

Lawrence flashed them a light smile and said, “It’s fine. You stay with her. I’ve been here a few times. I can find my way out.”

“Okay,” Tia stayed, not thinking much about it.

After Lawrence had left the room, Tia placed the fruit plate in front of Nicole and said, “Miss Nicole, please have some.”

“Come on. You should have some too,” Nicole handed her a piece.

The two continued chatting casually. However, neither of them was aware that Lawrence had not made his way downstairs after leaving the room.

In the hallway, Lawrence paused for a moment, after which he made a beeline for Nolan’s room.

Seeing that no one was around, he swiftly entered the room and closed the door behind him.

He stood still, carefully listening for any movements outside. Once he was sure that no one was out there, he scanned the room before his gaze fell on Nolan’s computer.

He was fairly certain that the encrypted messages from Nicole had been sent from this computer. He knew the messages had been sent out, but he could not trace them. So, he decided to try and unlock this particular computer.

Lawrence approached the computer and pressed the power button. The computer booted after a moment, but just as the screen brightened, it suddenly dimmed, taking Lawrence aback.

‘What’s happening?’

Lawrence typed away on the keyboard to key some commands in. Then, the screen lit up again.

However, when he saw what was displayed on the screen, Lawrence’s face blanched.

A large mischievous grin appeared on the screen, playfully sticking its tongue out.

Lawrence narrowed his eyes as he murmured with a hint of confusion, “Even the home computer is protected too?”

This made him even more convinced that the information he needed was definitely on this computer.

But he just could not figure out how to unlock it.

“Alfred, you’re still here. Has Mr. Lawrence left?” Tia’s voice emanated from the outside.

“Mr. Lawrence? I just came up, and I haven’t seen him,” Alfred replied, puzzled.

“That’s strange. He just left.” Tia was confused too.

‘If the butler had come up just now, he should have met Lawrence. What’s going on?’ she asked herself.

“I’ll go back down and check again,” Alfred said and turned around to make his way downstairs, thinking that he should not neglect the guest.

After looking around outside, Tia returned to Nicole’s room.

“What’s wrong?” Nicole asked after seeing how Tia had returned right after leaving.

“I bumped into Alfred, and he said he didn’t see Lawrence. I find it a bit strange,” Tia furrowed her brows, feeling even more puzzled as she thought about it.

Nicole was also surprised to hear that. “How could that be?”

“I’m not sure,” Tia shook her head. “Alfred has already gone downstairs to check again. He said that he was probably not looking properly.”

Although she felt that it was unlikely, it seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.

“Oh,” Nicole responded flatly, not thinking much about it.

As Tia looked at the empty cup in her hand, she suddenly said, “Oh no, I forgot to get more water for you.”

After that, Tia left the room again, intending to head downstairs to get some water for Nicole.

As she reached the staircase, she saw a figure passing by, but she could not make out who it was.

However, judging from the clothing, it seemed to be Lawrence, who she remembered had worn a gray suit. Besides, there was no one else at home, so it could not possibly be Samuel.

‘Did Lawrence just leave? Where did he go moments ago, then?’ she wondered.

Tia turned back and went to the other end of the hallway, shaking her head as she thought, ‘No one’s at home now. Why would Lawrence come from that direction?’

Tia felt strange as she hurried off downstairs.

However, she could not see Lawrence anywhere, and this shocked her. ‘Where is he? I’m sure that I just saw him.’

She shook her head in disbelief before going into the kitchen with her brows furrowed. Then, she poured Nicole a cup of water and headed back upstairs.
