Chapter 3133

“Alright,” everyone agreed and made their way to their rooms.

After making sure Nolan and Lana were asleep, Nicole and Jared returned to their own room.

Following a warm bath, Nicole changed into her pajamas and approached the bed.

As he gently smoothed her hair, Jared spoke softly, “If you’re tired, rest early.”

“Mhm,” Nicole agreed, lying down.

Soon, Nicole fell asleep.

Observing her peaceful face, Jared’s gaze deepened slightly before he stepped out to the balcony.

He dialed a number, and Zane’s voice came through, “Calling this late, is it urgent?” “Are you investigating the leader of the Eastern Falcon?” Jared asked, his voice grave.

“Yes, I’ve discussed it with Nicole.

If we can find that person, we might be able to dismantle Everett’s force,” Zane responded.

“Max has found some leads.

I’ll have him send them to you tomorrow, hoping it’ll aid your investigation,”

Jared said, his tone serious.

Zane sounded surprised, “So, you’ve been looking into it too!” Though Jared hadn’t said much, he had pinpointed the crux of the matter and acted even quicker than him.

“Everett’s target is likely not just Nicole but the entire Riddle family.

Being ambitious is fine, but if we take away his means to support that ambition, he’ll naturally become desperate and expose his flaws,” Jared stated coldly.

A slip-up from Everett would mean his end.

“Right, if we can rescue that person, the Eastern Falcon won’t obey him anymore,” Zane agreed, which was why he and Nicole decided to allocate more resources to this investigation.

“T’ll leave this matter to you.

As for things in San Joto, I’ll have Max and Charlie keep an eye on them,”

Jared’s voice carried a chill.

“Okay,” Zane agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Jared turned his gaze back to the room.

Nicole was still sleeping soundly on the bed.

The sight softened his expression instantly, and a slight smile formed on his lips.

ORE The next day was sunny and bright.

After breakfast, Nicole and Jared left the Riddle residence.

On the way, Nicole received a call from Preston.

“So, you’re saying Jerry wants Doretta to find a way to steal BayCorp’s official seal?” Nicole’s brow furrowed slightly, realizing Everett truly intended to take control of BayCorp.

“Yes, | overheard a conversation on his subordinate’s phone; he was instructing them to do just that,”

Preston confirmed.

Nicole laughed.

“You actually eavesdropped on his subordinate’s phone call.” “His vigilance is too high, and he’s also a hacking expert.

The slightest carelessness could alert him, so I decided to focus on his subordinates instead,” Preston explained.

“That’s a clever approach, indeed less likely to expose you,” Nicole commended.

Preston reminded, “You should warn Ellar about this, tell him to be extra vigilant.” “Alright, I will,” Nicole assured before ending the call.

Putting away her phone, Nicole shook her head with a smile.

” Leave it to Preston to come up with such a strategy.” “Are you ready to tell Ellar about Doretta?” Jared asked, his expression slightly serious.

Taking a deep breath, Nicole replied, “It’s time to tell Ellar.

I think he’ll find a way to handle it without raising Uncle Dexter and Emma’s suspicions.” Jared gave Nicole a look but didn’t say anything further, trusting that Nicole had considered all possible outcomes.

After dropping Nicole off at Riddle Corporation, Jared left.
