Chapter 2952
"Lulu, when those helpers arrive, can you please get everything organized?" Nicole
instructed Lulu.
"Sure thing," Lulu agreed, "I'll start preparing right away."
Lulu wanted to get things sorted in advance to avoid any last -minute rush when the
others arrived. It would save effort once they showed up.
"Nicole, we understand things have been hectic lately. If you're feeling overwhelmed, take
some time off," Sean suggested, concern evident in his eyes as he advised Nicole.
Nicole smiled, "I'm good, no need to fret."
Despite the increased workload, she didn't feel overwhelmed. Plus, Sean and Steve had
their own tasks to manage. Besides, Steve had to look after Sally, so Nicole decided not to
take a break.
Frowning slightly, Steve asked, "You beat Lawrence and acquired the Water Crest, but he

He found it odd for Lawrence to stay silent.
"No matter what his next move is, I'll handle it," Nicole's expression turned serious. She
looked at Sean and Steve with a slightly intense gaze. "You guys and your wives need to
be careful now."
The office fell silent for a moment before Steve responded," Got it."
"Just stay cautious," Nicole sighed. She couldn't shake the feeling that Lawrence might
have his sights set on her.
Yet, she couldn't dismiss the possibility that he might resort to threatening her family if he
found himself cornered.
Therefore, she needed to carefully consider all possibilities and take precautions in
advance to safeguard her family's safety.
"We'll be vigilant," Sean responded with a serious tone.
They understood Nicole's concern for their safety and were equally determined not to put
her at risk because of them. Nicole felt touched by their consideration. This was the
essence of family love.
After addressing some work issues, Sean and Steve departed.
Nicole reclined in her chair, observing the files on her desk with a narrowed gaze. While
she could manage the recent workload, Lawrence's lack of action made her suspicious.
Additionally, she had to watch out for Scorpio.

In the afternoon, Nicole and Lulu were deep in work discussions after having lunch.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Nicole glanced at the screen displaying 'Tia.' She felt
puzzled. 'Why is Tia calling me now?'
"Nicole, the kids are missing!" Tia's voice was full of concern.
Nicole sprang up swiftly. "What's happened?"

"A while ago, their teacher called, asking if I'd brought the kids home, but I hadn't. I don't
know what's going on exactly. What do we do?" Tia was close to tears, feeling really
worried.
Nicole was the first person Tia thought to call.
"Got it. I'll come over immediately," Nicole assured Tia before ending the call.
As Nicole prepared to leave, Lulu hurried over. "What's happening?"
Noticing Nicole's deep concern, Lulu realized this was serious.
"Tia mentioned Nolan and Lana are missing. I'm going to see what's happening," Nicole
explained while walking, and Lulu walked alongside her.
As they rode the elevator, Lulu's face lost its color. "How did this happen? Could it be...?"
She halted abruptly, leaving her sentence unfinished, and stole a glance at Nicole. She
refrained from voicing or even entertaining the remaining thoughts.
Nicole's heart tightened. This was her worst fear.
'Could Lawrence have taken the kids?'
"Let's find out," Nicole said, trying to keep herself collected. Even amidst her tangled
thoughts, she recognized the significance of maintaining a calm facade.
