Chapter 2991
"Let's get going," Nicole said decisively.
Setting down her water bottle, she looked toward the person closest to her. In a sudden change of
expression, she stood up abruptly and headed off.
Those men must've realized Nicole had spotted them. They all rushed at once, someone yelling,
"Catch her!"
"Ah!" Paige screamed, holding her head with both hands, feigning terror.
Nicole kept running, attempting to escape.

Nicole halted and turned back, irritated. "Leave her out of this."
Seeing it worked, the leader smugly said, "Come quietly, or you know what will happen."
"Release her, and I'll go with you," Nicole said, though she didn't budge.

Nicole had done her part, and now it was their turn to act.
"Adolph," Jared said slowly.
"Got it," Adolph replied, leading his team into action.
Zane looked at Jared. "My men are on it too. Let's go."
Jared stood up, his gaze cold and determined, and walked out. Zane followed him.

"Is this the place?" Zane asked, double-checking the signal and glancing up at the factory.

"Let's go," Zane ordered, adding, "Make sure Nicole's safe."
Adolph nodded resolutely. "Absolutely."
Their top priority, no matter the plan, was to keep Nicole safe.
Adolph returned to the factory's entrance, signaled his team, and they climbed over the wall, moving
quietly to take down each adversary one by one, aiming to resolve the situation swiftly and silently.
They knew every minute they delayed increased Nicole's danger. Even though she was protected, she
was still at risk. Only when she was genuinely safe could they relax.
