Chapter 2932

After departing from the scene, Seth and his group updated Max about the outcome.

Max then relayed the information to Jared. “Mr. Johnston, everything went as planned. We let Scorpio go,” Max reported over the phone.

Jared, maintaining his usual calm demeanor, hummed in response.

Max continued, “We collaborated with the police to apprehend some of Scorpio’s men. Damien is back in custody and will face trial today.”

Pleased with the outcome, Jared commended, “Good job.”

“It all unfolded just as you predicted,” Max sighed.

From the beginning, Mr. Johnston had anticipated Scorpio’s actions. After strategizing with law enforcement responsible for the case, they set up the trap, and indeed, Scorpio took the bait.

Mr. Johnston, Scorpio might make other moves now,” Max speculated.

Given today’s events, once Scorpio reflected on it, he’d realize he fell into a trap and would not be able to gain any information from Damien. So, he might take matters into his own hands.

Jared narrowed his eyes slightly with a hint of ruthlessness.”

Let’s see what he intends to do.”

“I’ll arrange for surveillance,” Max responded cautiously.

Meanwhile, at Riddle Corporation, Lulu burst into Nicole’s office, excitedly reporting, “Damien’s been taken back to court.”

Nicole arched an eyebrow. “What happened?”

“It seems someone tried to snatch Damien while he was en route, but the authorities were onto their plan beforehand.

They not only apprehended the culprits but also unveiled their hideout…” Lulu briefed Nicole on the situation.

Nicole squinted. ‘Could it be…’ Suddenly, a spark of realization crossed Nicole’s face, a faint smirk forming. She likely understood.

This entire episode was likely orchestrated by Jared through Max. They were already aware of Scorpio’s intentions, so they collaborated with law enforcement to raid Scorpio’s base.

With this failed attempt and the discovery of their hideout, Scorpio must be seething.

“Nicole, do you think there might be any other surprises?” Lulu asked in a hushed tone.

Casting a glance at Lulu, Nicole shook her head, “No, there won’t be.”

Having made thorough arrangements, this matter would undoubtedly be resolved today. Damien had been escorted back for trial, awaiting the judgment of the law.

“Hey, who do you think is behind this? I heard they caught a few henchmen, but their leader got away,”

Lulu speculated.

“Scorpio, the remaining Eastern Falcon’s representative here, ” Nicole’s voice carried a hint ofcoldness.

“You mean the one we purposely let go last time…” Lulu instantly understood.

Nicole nodded, “He’s still useful, so we can’t catch him for now.”

“Oh, so this was deliberate too,” Lulu realized.

Nicole chuckled lightly and shook her head, seeing Lulu finally catching on.

“By the way, how do you know everything so clearly?” Lulu pondered for a moment, looking at Nicole with surprise and suspicion.

They were both in the office and had only learned about Damien’s situation from breaking news. Yet, now it seemed as if Nicole knew everything beforehand.
