However, Everett believed it was better if Doretta had a condition. As long as someone
had a weakness, they were easier to control. "Alright, agree to her terms," he responded.
Jerry hesitated. 'Are you sure you want to agree?"
"We need to make her feel secure enough to work for US." Whether Everett would fulfill
the promise later was Still up to him.
Jerry seemed to understand and nodded immediately. "Okay. I'll pass on the message to
her.'
"Mhm," Everett hummed in satisfaction, a shadow crossing his eyes.
By setting this ticking time bomb next to Ellar, he doubted Ellar could easily escape
unscathed. 'Nicole, let's see what you'll do when the time comes.*

After a busy day, Nicole left work to find Jared already waiting for her.
Getting into the car, Nicole smiled. "Have you been waiting long?"
A softness flashed in Jared's eyes. "If you hadn't come down soon, I was actually planning
to go up and see what had kept you."
"Just had to deal with some last-minute documents,’ Nicole explained.
"As long as you're okay." Jared gently took Nicole's hand, pulling her into his embrace.
Resting against his shoulder, Nicole took a deep breath. "Today did bring more
challenges."
She briefly outlined the situation, then sighed. "Even though everything is currently within
our expectations, I know we can't let our guard down.”
"Mhm, with Everett controlling the leader of the Eastern Falcon, their members will

Nicole bit her lip slightly and nodded. "I understand. Zane mentioned he'd arrange for
someone to handle the situation with the Eastern Falcon's headquarters and would contact
us with any updates."
Gently squeezing Nicole's hand, Jared spoke softly, "Relax, everything will be resolved."
"Mhm," Nicole agreed, closing her eyes to rest.
After a while, they arrived home.
"Mom, Dad," Nicole greeted Daniel and Gloria upon seeing them.
Sitting down next to the couch, Nicole asked somewhat puzzled, "Where are Nolan and

"They saw you hadn't come back yet and went to Tia's place with Stanley," Gloria
explained with a smile.
Nicole couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle. "Those two little rascals."

Knowing they had gone to the backyard, Nicole decided to join them instead of calling
them back.
"Stanley probably had dinner there; No need to wait for them. Let's eat," Gloria suggested.
"Alright," they agreed, and the family moved to the dining room.
"Jared, Nicole, I heard you've been dealing with some problems lately. Is everything okay?"
Daniel inquired.
Jared responded calmly, "It's manageable."
"What's going on?" Gloria's expression became worried, as it was rare for work matters to
be discussed at the dinner table.
"Mom, it's just some work-related stuff," Nicole quickly reassured Gloria.
"Yes, I was just asking," Daniel added, echoing the reassurance.
