"Yeah, we're going to pick up Nolan and Lana," Nicole replied with a light smile.Lulu remembered. "Oh right, Stanley and Tia went to take their prewedding photos."The two were finally getting their happily ever after, and another joyful event was being prepared at home.Leaving the company, Jared was waiting for Nicole, but Spencer hadn't arrived yet. Lulu said, "You go ahead. I'll wait a bit longer; Spencer should be here soon.""Alright." After agreeing, Nicole got into the car and left first.The car started and headed toward the kindergarten.After watching Nicole drive off, Lulu looked down the street, waiting. After a while, Spencer's car arrived."Sorry, there was some trouble on the road, so it got a bit jammed," Spencer explained after parking.Lulu got into the car, smiling lightly. "It's okay. I haven't been waiting long.""Where do you want to go for dinner?" Spencer asked Lulu.Lulu thought for a moment and then suggested, "How about we go home? We can invite J
Even though the relationship between him and Nicole was a silent understanding of their mutual antagonism, at this moment, Lawrence still did not wish to directly reveal himself as Nicole's adversary."Yes, I will," Ian responded.Leaning back in his seat, Lawrence asked, "How's that fool Everett doing?"Thinking himself clever, yet in the end, Everett still suffered great losses."There hasn't been any movement yet, but it should be soon. After all, he can't wait much longer," Ian speculated."Hmm," Lawrence hummed lightly, acknowledging that indeed, Everett could wait no longer."Sir, about Aquila..." Ian's expression turned serious.He knew Aquila was a formidable figure, one that they, too, needed to be wary of.A shadow passed through Lawrence's eyes, his expression growing colder. He hadn't expected Everett to have enlisted Aquila's loyalty, no wonder Everett dared to be so brazen."Although I've arranged for people to watch him, we've never succeeded, not daring to foll
Tia nodded, a soft blush tinting her cheeks, as she responded, "Yes."Lulu's observations were spot-on. Despite a hint of fatigue, Tia's spirits remained high throughout the day.The idea of marrying Stanley had once seemed distant, almost surreal. But now, here they were, immersed in the reality of their pre-wedding photo shoot.Clad in her elegant bridal gown and him in his sharp suit, they stood before a mirror. It was in this moment, gazing at their joint reflection, that the weight of their imminent union truly settled on her, filling her with a profound sense of togetherness and anticipation."We came back today to share in your happiness," June said, laughing and joking. "This is the happiest thing for our family lately.""Stanley, you're getting married soon. Shouldn't you take us all out for a big meal?" Samuel teased with a laugh."Okay, what does everyone feel like eating? Just let me know," Stanley replied.Seizing the moment, Samuel suggested, "How about we go to th
"It's just dinner time; let's have dinner together," Everett suggested, eyeing Doretta closely. He was quietly impressed. 'She's so composed, exactly the type who could turn on Emma and Ellar.'"Mr. Wright, based on what I've seen, Ellar is in a tight spot but is trying to hide it," Doretta got straight to the point. "He's spent the afternoon scheming to lessen BayCorp's losses.""What do you mean?" Everett's curiosity piqued, his eyebrows arching.Doretta let out a sigh. "It's unfortunate he believes he's outsmarting everyone, thinking he can offload BayCorp's assets now. You wouldn't let that happen, would you, Mr. Wright?"Everett's smirk was telling. "You're spot-on." Allowing Ellar any leeway was out of the question. His plan was to take everything BayCorp had."That's reassuring," Doretta remarked, getting up. "I'll leave you to your dinner then.""You're not joining?" Everett inquired.Doretta shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I just came to tell you about my work.
After settling in, Nicole turned her attention to the document beside her, signaling that pivotal moments were on the horizon.In BayCorp's office, Patricia hung up the phone and exchanged a knowing look with Ellar."I expect the results by this morning, as I requested yesterday," Ellar instructed his secretary, firm and expectant.No sooner had Ellar spoken than Everett's voice filled the room, "You might as well give up now; the struggle is pointless."Ellar's annoyance was palpable upon seeing Everett. "What are you doing back here? You're not welcome. We'll resolve this legally.""You might want to see this first." Everett sauntered into Ellar's office and casually threw a pouch onto his desk.Ellar, recognizing the seal Doretta had absconded with, pretended ignorance. "What is this?"Everett looked down at him, his voice tinged with a slight pity, "Seems like you hurried to shift BayCorp's assets. Wouldn't you need this?""How... did you find out?" Ellar acted astonished.
"Impossible!" Doretta burst in, frantically examining the seals one by one, muttering to herself, "It can't be, how could these be fake? This is absolutely impossible."Everett suddenly grabbed Doretta's wrist, looking at her menacingly. "You dare to play me?!""No, I didn't." Doretta shook her head in a panic, trying to defend herself. "He's deceiving you, these can't possibly be fakes.""Doretta, from the very beginning, I knew why you joined the company. How could I possibly let anyone get their hands on the real seals?" Ellar asked, his voice tinged with a chill, "How could you do this, considering how well my mother treated you?"He might not be hurt, or even care, but Emma really treated Doretta well, only to have her sincerity trampled upon like this."I..." Doretta's face turned pale. She was unable to utter a single word."The police have been alerted, you better cooperate with their investigation," Patricia stated, casting a cold glance at Everett, signaling the end was
"Disappeared! What do you mean?" A cold light flickered in Nicole's eyes. The news confirmed her and Patricia's suspicion that there was something off about Everett.She had wondered how Everett could surrender so easily. It appeared he had made arrangements well in advance.Patricia explained, sounding frustrated, "After they left, something felt off, so I followed."The police car drove off, but Jerry didn't follow Everett; he went in the opposite direction."I followed the police car, and halfway there, it suddenly broke down, and then Everett was taken away by someone."Patricia thought to herself, 'We should have been better prepared; how could we have overlooked Everett's cunning?'"So, this might have been planned by them from the start," Nicole remained calm, even feeling that this was indeed something Everett would orchestrate."Unfortunately, we haven't found where he's hiding yet," Patricia sighed in vexation."Don't worry, he'll show up eventually," Nicole confident
"Yes, Ellar is in danger right now; you should go and protect him," Lulu agreed.Nicole nodded. "You should definitely go back."Patricia felt the mood shift, her cheeks turning red as she quickly said, "I just don't want him to get hurt.""We all know you care about him," Lulu said, smiling and teasing her.Feeling more shy, Patricia mumbled something and hurried out of the room."She's obviously worried and trying to hide how much she cares about Ellar," Lulu observed, shaking her head. "She should just admit her feelings."Nicole's subtle smile lingered, yet she chose silence over words.Regaining her composure, Lulu asked, "Nicole, what exactly is going on? Did Everett see it coming?""It's not about foresight; it's his instinct to always have an escape plan." Nicole reflected. She admired Everett's knack for turning situations."And his next step?" Lulu's brow creased in thought, contemplating Everett's forthcoming strategy. Although his real identity as Everett hadn't be
