Chapter 2895
Dawn arrived eight hours later, with the sun showing its first blossom at seven. After breakfast, Nicole and Jared got
into their car and made their way to Riddle Corporation.
However, Lulu was not the only one waiting for Nicole today, as Spencer, Samuel, and June were there as well.
"Have you heard from your men?" they anxiously asked upon spotting the couple.
"Charlie and Patricia are not back yet," Nicole replied. "Let's wait for them in my office."
"Alright." They nodded in agreement, after which they entered Nicole's office together.
After sitting down, Lulu gritted her teeth and asked, "Why have we not received any news from them? Are they in

'No way," Nicole shook her head.
If something had occurred while they were on their mission, they would have gotten wind of it by now.
"Let's wait a moment," June advised in an attempt to calm Lulu down.
Though everyone was worried sick, there was little they could do but wait for word to return to them. The ones
whose lives were at stake here were Charlie and Patricia, who were still out there, leading the fight. All they could
do now was put their faith in the duo and trust that they would return bearing news.
All of a sudden, a series of knocks were heard at the door.
The instant she heard them, Nicole ordered. "Come in."
The door swung open, revealing Max, who walked in and greeted them. "Mr. and Mrs. Johnston. I hope all is well."
"You're back," Jared said. "Was the operation smooth?"
Nicole was a little shocked by Max's sudden appearance, but judging by the look on Jared's face, he had already
known about his return.
"Yes, it was. Everything has been settled," Max said, approaching the couch before handing a file to Nicole. "This is
for you, Mrs. Johnston. Zane asked me to send this to you.

Surprised, Nicole grabbed the file, and upon reading its contents, she looked up, gritted her teeth, and sighed.
"I knew it," Nicole said, handing the file to Jared.
Jared took the file from her, looked at her, and asked, "Is it about the Water Crest?"

"Yes." Nicole nodded. "You called it."
"The Eastern Falcon had withdrawn from society for years following the failure of their last mission. For them to
take on a new mission requires more than a simple monetary reward. Everett must have ignited their ambitions
with a grand promise of some sort," Jared theorized.
In that same line of thought, the Water Crest was undoubtedly something that could do the job, as it represented
guaranteed prospects of extreme wealth and unchallenged power.
"Let's not forget about Lawrence. They have contacted Lawrence too. Perhaps they were looking for confirmation,"
Nicole said, her gaze icy and dark.
However, the question as to whether Lawrence and the Eastern Falcon had arrived at some kind of agreement was
still something they could not answer.
