But without Lawrence's confession, there wouldn't be any concrete evidence, would there?" Nicole thought
"Sambawe must have disclosed something," Jared hinted vaguely, not going into detail but guessing that Zane's
sudden decision to capture Lawrence was probably linked to Sambawe.
"I get it," Nicole acknowledged, her eyes narrowing slightly. After Zane rescued her, Sambawe had agreed to
cooperate and likely spill a lot of information.
Nicole had an inkling about Lawrence's influence in Mecrounia and his possible involvement in illegal activities.
Those in his inner circle, like Sambawe, would have a better idea.
Jared gave Nicole's hand a gentle squeeze, hinting, "It might not be long now." Now, they were now just waiting
for Lawrence to slip up so they could bring him to justice.

"Got it," Nicole nodded slightly, realizing that Lawrence must be feeling the pressure.
The car cto a stop, and they had arrived at Riddle Corporation.
As they got out of the car, Nicole entered the building only to find Doretta standing in front of the office. Nicole
was surprised, "What brings you here?
"I stayed to lead the team," Doretta responded briefly.
Nicole instantly grasped that Doretta was heading the team Zane had assigned to collaborate with them.
"Cin," Nicole said, opening the office door and ushering Doretta inside.
"How is Aunt Emma?" Doretta asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I've already filled her in. She doesn't blyou at all; in fact, she's quite relieved," Nicole
reassured her with a smile.
Doretta breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you." "You should visit her when you have the chance. You're involved in
such dangerous work; she's still worried about you," Nicole advised.
"I will," Doretta replied, then looked at Nicole and said, "I just wanted to drop by and let you know that you can

"Got it. Since they all think you've been captured as well, showing up here openly would raise suspicions and
might compromise your cover," Nicole nodded. She then added, "If you encounter any problems, you can also
contactanytime, and..."
Nicole took out her phone and sent a string of numbers to Doretta, saying," This is Charlie's number. If it's
inconvenient to reach me, you can contact him." "Charlie... the one who was injured during Everett's capture?"
Doretta repeated the name.
"Yes," Nicole confirmed. "You're aware of his identity, right?" "Mhm," Doretta acknowledged, then asked, "How is
his injury?" "He's all better now. If you run into him, he might even thank you for your help back then. It was how

Otherwise, we wouldn't have had a clue." "It was a pretty intense moment. | couldn't think about much else; |

Doretta nodded." | get it, so | just listened to him without arguing. But if I found myself in the ssituation
again, I'd make the scall."
After all, sactions are instinctive, beyond her control.
She had only risked exposure that time, while Charlie faced a real threat to his life; naturally, the latter was more
urgent.
Nicole smiled, acknowledging that sthings are not simply right or wrong.
"I should get back now," Doretta said, checking the time.
"Okay, take care," Nicole responded, watching Doretta leave.
