Chapter 2236


    “Sean, why do I feel like there’s something off with Lawrence?” Steve mumbled with a frown.


    At the same time, Sean’s eyes darkened. “Yes, there’s something sinister about him today.”


    Although he still looked the same as before, the gaze from his eyes had left everyone around him


    feeling perturbed.


    “Why did he look for Nicole?” Steve frowned again, worried that Lawrence would harm Nicole.


    Sean hesitated for a moment, after which he decided, “Let’s check on Nicole.”


    That feeling was inexplicable, and the only thing Steve knew was that he felt uneasy about it; the


    version of Lawrence he had seen today had put him on guard.


    “Sure.” Steve agreed.


    Naturally, he was willing to do so, as he felt really anxious for Nicole.


    When the both of them arrived at Nicole’s office, Nicole was taken aback. “What’s the matter?”


    ‘They should have concluded their meeting already. And since the both of them came over together, I


    guess it might be something about thepany which requires my decision,’ she thought.


    “Why was Lawrence here? He came so early in the morning. I don’t think he’s just here to catch up.”


    Steve replied,ying everything out.


    “Oh, it’s nothing. We were just discussing work rted matters.” Nicole briefly responded without telling


    them that she was going to invest in Lawrence’s project.


    She felt that everything she would fork out would be from personal ount and not thepany’s.


    She had enough money on her person to pull this off as well. Moreover, she was just doing him a favor.


    She would not be raking in any profits from it. So, she did not want the boys to think that she had made


    that decision on pure impulse.


    At the end of the day, there were things which she would need to find a delicate bnce for. After all,


    she could not just stand idly by while Lawrence was in trouble. She did not want to drag thepany in


    over such a small matter either.

    If it was something that benefited the Riddle Corporation, she would do it. Otherwise, she would not


    want to ce any additional burdens on thepany.


    The boys could tell that Nicole was quite reserved in her answer, and it did not seem to be an issue of


    special significance to her.


    After exchanging nces, they replied, “Good to know that everything’s fine.”


    Nicole smiled. “Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll talk to you guys.”


    “It’s nothing. Just that, we felt that Lawrence seemed a little odd today. So, we thought of asking you.”


    Steve exined in hopes that Nicole would not think that they were overstepping their boundaries.


    Hearing this, Nicole furrowed her brows a little. She also felt that there was something off with


    Lawrence. But after some thought, she surmised that it might just be because his project abroad was


    not going as well as it should be.


    Nicole spared herself any further thought and proceeded to reassure Sean and Steve. And after the


    both of them had left, Nicole continued working again.


    “Sean, nothing will happen, right?” Steve asked, wanting to rify with Sean once more.


    “Nothing will. Have some faith in Nicole.” Sean replied calmly.


    “That’s true.” Steve nodded, certain of Nicole’s capabilities.


    After gaining some reassurances, Sean and Steve went ahead and continued working respectively.


    On the other hand, Lawrence had gotten into his car.


    With narrowed eyes, he leaned back against his seat and said, “It’s done. We’ll act ording to n.”


    Ian hesitated for a while, but he finally gritted his teeth and replied, “Understood.”


    Although he did not understand why everything had changed once they moved to San Joto, he was


    certain that


    Nicole and Lawrence would never return to how they were before.
