Chapter 2414
"Sure. Just let me know if you need anything," Lulu said before leaving the office.
Nicole leaned back on the sofa, her gaze gradually darkening. 'What could Sean and Steve be investigating
Lawrence for, and for such a long time? What were they suspicious of?’
After some thought, Nicole decided to ask Steve to find out what was going on.
With a determined expression, she got up and left her office.
Downstairs, Lawrence got into his car after leaving the building.
"Mr. Lawrence, how did it go?" Ian asked softly.
"She hasn't recovered her memory yet," Lawrence replied, histone heavy.

Lawrence had visited the Riddle residence and accessed Nolan's computer, so they could not possibly be unaware
of it. 'How did they react?' Ian wondered.
"She didn't mention it. However, Nolan has been using the computer as usual these days, and everything seems
normal."
Nolan continued to use his computer as if nothing had happened. He had also shared the way to unlock the second
protection stage of his laptop with Lawrence. It seemed like even though they might know he had accessed the
computer, there was no suspicion directed at him.
However, the more this was the case, the less he could afford to touch Nolan's computer again. His previous
actions could be dismissed as unintentional, but if he tried again and failed, he would have no chances left.
"Mr. Lawrence, do you feel that... they've become somewhat distant from you?" Ian paused to find a gentler way to
phrase it. "They're not as close to you as before."
Ian even felt that since their return to San Joto, it wasn't just Nicole, but even Nolan and Lana seemed more distant
from Lawrence. Though it was not evident on the surface, he just could not fight this feeling.
Lawrence shot Ian a cold glance. Ian turned pale and refrained from saying anything further.
Looking away, Lawrence's eyes darkened. He was well aware of the change in Nicole's attitude towards him. But
that was not important. What mattered more was Nicole's feelings for Jared.
Even though Nicole had not recovered her memory, it was evident that she had once again accepted Jared.
Then there was the issue regarding the Five Crests tasks on the Hunter. He had tried to hire someone to probe into
it but the person who posted the task was too cautious, so he had not managed to discover who was behind it.

However, he suspected it was Nicole. He worried that she might have regained her memories and might know
about everything.
Eyes growing even darker, Lawrence then made a phone call. "Hey, are you done with the arrangements?"
"It's ready. She can come in anytime," the other person replied.
"Remember, I don't want her to recover her memories," Lawrence stated. Then, he hung up.
At the moment, what mattered most to him was preventing Nicole from regaining her memories. The expert he
had brought in would help him achieve that.
Meanwhile, in Steve's office, Steve sighed when he saw Nicole's serious expression. "We didn't intend to keep this
from you. After all, he saved you. We suspected him, but we didn't want to trouble you. That's why we investigated
him in secret."
"When did you start suspecting him?" Nicole was not angry, of course. She knew her two brothers were looking out
for her.
"From the moment he arrived at the Riddle family and directly called out my name," Steve admitted candidly. Since
that day, he had felt that there was something off about Lawrence.
