Chapter 2224


    “I went to the restroom,” Lulu answered Nicole softly. Then, she asked, “What are you still doing here?


    Are you waiting for Jared?”


    “No. I bumped into Lawrence, and we’re going to go for dinner.” As soon as she finished her sentence,


    Nicole scanned her surroundings. “Is Spencer here yet?”


    “He’s noting today.” Lulu shrugged her shoulders, and a glimpse of sadness shed in her eyes.


    Nicole frowned a little. ‘Is Spencer upied today? Why isn’t he here to pick up Lulu?’


    Looking at how sad Lulu was, Nicole smiled and said, “Since you don’t have a date tonight, join us for


    dinner!”


    “Huh? Wouldn’t I be a bother?” Lulu replied in shock.


    Nicole rolled her eyes at Lulu. “No way. Leo and I are just friends.”


    “Oh, right.” Lulu scratched her head as if she was the one who was overthinking it. Then, she turned to


    look at Lawrence. Her gaze seemed to be full of doubt.


    Although Nicole did not mind it, Lulu was not close to Lawrence. Therefore, she wanted to hear from


    him.


    Lawrence nced at Nicole. He knew that he had no other choice but to agree to it.


    “Let’s go.” While speaking, Lawrence started walking towards his car.


    Nicole dragged Lulu along, and they spoke in whispers to each other.


    “Jared’s noting?” Lulu asked.


    “It seems like something came up at the Johnston Group. He’ll have to work overtime,” Nicole replied


    calmly.


    “What a coincidence.” Lulu locked eyes with her friend. The reply Nicole gave sounded suspicious to


    her.


    Looking at Lulu’s expression, Nicole immediately understood what Lulu meant. Then, Nicole


    subconsciously nced at Lawrence.


    However, Nicole immediately brushed away that thought from her mind. ‘It’s impossible. Lawrence


    wouldn’t do such a thing! There’s no reason for him to do so.’


    Nicole shook her head and chuckled. “Stop thinking about this nonsense. Let’s go!”


    Giggling, Lulu smiled innocently.


    It definitely was strange. Lawrence came over and asked Nicole out for dinner when Jared was in


    trouble. This was too odd to be a coincidence.


    Either way, Nicole and Jared had gotten their marriage certificate. They even had two kids. Lawrence


    was well aware of that. So, perhaps Lulu really was overthinking it. After all, Nicole had said they were


    just friends.


    At that moment in the Johnston Group, after Jared put his phone away, his eyes were as cold as ice.


    Lawrence had the guts to go to Riddle Corporation and ask Nicole out for dinner.


    “Sir, I’ll send some people to tail after Ms. Nicole. She’ll be safe. I’ve just received a message that Ms.


    Nicole had invited Ms. Lulu to follow along,” Max reported.


    Jared raised his eyebrow subtly. The annoyance he felt reduced a little.


    “Okay,” Jared said in acknowledgement. He felt at ease when he knew that someone was protecting


    Nicole.


    Seeing that Jared had calmed down, Max asked, “As expected, Iris has made a move. We’re in the


    midst of ying along with her n. When do you n to capture her?”

    Jared’s eyes darkened and he spoke with a cold tone, “Wait a little longer.”


    Now that everything was in their control, they could not let go of such a good opportunity to


    counterattack.
