Chapter 2868
Nicole reached out to hug Lana affectionately. "It's your nap time, right? Let's bring you back to your room."
"Okay," Lana nodded, after which she rested her head on Nicole's shoulder and shut her eyes.
Jared placed the storybook and tucked Nolan in. After the boy had fallen asleep, Jared emerged, bumping into
Nicole who had also just exited Lana's room.
Looking at Nicole, Jared smiled and led her back to their own bedroom.
"You must be tired," Jared remarked, having noticed how fatigued Nicole was.
"It's alright. But I do feel like taking a nap," Nicole replied, walking upto her bed.
As Nicole laid herself down on the mattress, Jared flashed her a smile. "Go ahead."
Not wanting to interrupt Nicole's nap, he quietly walked over to his desk and switched his computer on. As for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, knowing that Jared wanted to get back to work.
The moment Jared switched his computer on, an unread email popped up on his screen. Upon opening the email
and reading its contents, his eyes slightly widened in shock.
As it turned out, Max had arrived, and the situation there was more complicated than they had thought. Therefore,
Max might have to stay there for a few more days.
Jared proceeded to read Max's report in detail, send him a reply, and stand up. Then, he walked over to the floor-to-
ceiling window overlooking the courtyard.
The sun outside was dazzling and hot, contrasting Jared's aura, which was frosty and dark. While the situation
abroad appeared peaceful and assuming on the surface, there were undercurrents which they were not prepared
to face. These cases might very well be closely related to whatever was happening at San Joto.
After contemplating for a moment, Jared decided to give Zane a call.
"I'll handle things here in San Joto. Get your men to coordinate with Max," Jared requested.
"Great minds think alike," Zane agreed.
He was aware that now was not the time for either of them to make a public appearance in San Joto, so it was best
for them to steer clear of the events happening back home.
"How's it going with Everett?" Jared asked.
"We're still in the midst of checking on him. According to our latest findings, he seemed to have come to an
agreement with those at Eastern Falcon," Zane paused.
Then, he added, "However, those at Eastern Falcon don't seem to trust him, so they're contacting Lawrence in
secret too."
"Alright then. You should show them something they would like to see," Jared said, his eyes frosty and dark.
"Are you saying that we should...?" Zane hesitated. "That's fine by me. After all, we can't just sit back and watch."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnderstanding Jared's intention, Zane concurred and ended the call.
While hanging up, Jared's gaze landed on the scenery outside the window.
Jared thought, 'Lawrence, Everett, and the members of Eastern Falcon. These few entities who never had dealings
with one another now seem to be working closely. Let's see what they are plotting.'
Time passed by quickly, and another day passed in a jiffy. Everyone had been busy with their respective obligations,
but on the bright side, today was also the day Stanley had promised to treat everyone to dinner.
Early in the morning, Nicole arrived in her office as usual with Lulu following her from behind. "These are the files."
Nicole grabbed the files and handed another to Lulu in exchange. "This one has been sorted. You may have it."
"Alright," Lulu said, and took the file. "By the way, Patricia called me this morning. It was true. Damien wanted to
leave San Joto. However, she had managed to intercept him before he could."
Nicole raised her eyebrows, asking, "Do we have a clue where he was supposed to be heading?"
"The only confirmation we have at the moment is that he was planning to flee the country." Lulu said. "We still have
no idea where he was supposed to be going. Patricia told me Damien was clearly heading to the airport, but they
could not find his boarding details anywhere."
