Chapter 2683

After a while, Lawrence roared, “You have three more days. If you can’t crack it by then, you can all get the hell out of here!”

“Yes.” Once they responded, the sound of keyboard tapping filled the room once again.

Lawrence stormed out of the room and went upstairs.

The lights in the base gradually went out, leaving only one room still illuminated.

The next day, the weather was gloomy.

After Nicole and Jared dropped off the children at the kindergarten, they arrived at Riddle Corporation.

Jared did not leave and followed Nicole into her office.

Soon, Sean and Steve also joined them.

“Max, tell them.” Nicole’s expression was somewhat grim.

“Yes, Mrs. Johnston,” Max responded and then carefully reported the findings of the investigation.

“According to her deduction, Charlie went to investigate near the scene. Sure enough, suspicious individuals were found. After their kidnapping attempt failed, they disguised themselves as nearby residents, planning to quietly leave after the situation calmed down.”

Though the situation was now clear and the people were apprehended, the truth of the matter still shocked them greatly.

“Who ordered it?” Sean’s voice was chilling.

Since the person was caught, the mastermind behind the scenes would inevitably be revealed.

Max’s face turned slightly pale as he said, “Chloe.”

“What?!” Steve’s voice involuntarily raised several degrees.’ Had Chloe gone mad?’ “They don’t know Chloe, and we determined this based on their testimony, which all linked to her. Unfortunately, we don’t have any substantial evidence,”

Max said with frustration.

Chloe had indeed become smarter. Although she did this, she did not leave any incriminating evidence against herself.

“What should we do?” Steve exclaimed angrily. “Just let her go like this?”

“She wanted to kidnap my kids just to threaten me.” Nicole’s eyes flashed with coldness. She looked at Patricia and said, “Have someone investigate what she’s planning.”

“Yes,” Patricia agreed and left.

Nicole snorted coldly with an icy gaze. The more Chloe wanted something, the less Nicole would give it to her.

“Is that all?” Steve was fuming as he thought, ‘Chloe is getting off too lightly.’ He had sort of understood Nicole’s intention, Sean glanced lightly at Steve and said, “This is already good enough.”

Without evidence, they could not do anything to Chloe. It was better to let her experience the pain. Not being able to obtain what she wanted was the most frustrating.

Steve sighed helplessly as there really was no other way.

“It’s alright, you all can go back to work now.” Nicole looked calmly at Sean and Steve.

They had come over after hearing the news, and now that they knew the result, it was more important for them to attend to their own important matters.

Chloe’s matter was not that important. At least for now, it would not affect the Riddle family, and Sean and Steve’s work should not be delayed.

Understanding Nicole’s intention, Sean said, “Let me know if there’s anything you need.”

“Yes, just tell us what we need to do,” Steve added.

“Don’t worry. We can handle it.” Nicole smiled. After Sean and Steve left, she looked at Jared. “I really didn’t expect it to be Chloe.”

If it was Chloe, it seemed like the heavy feeling had dissipated. She was not particularly concerned if it was just Chloe alone. With Chloe’s current abilities, she could not really cause a big stir.

Jared’s eyes turned dark. “It is rather unexpected, indeed.” But that did not mean he would forgive her.
