Chapter 2721
Nicole sat there in silence as she pondered to herself, ‘If Everett ising back and Lawrence is
already here…!
wonder…were the both of them hiding abroad together and are nowing back one by one here to
crack the code for the Water Crest?
‘But if cracking the code for the Water Crest is a piece of cake, why did it take Lawrence this much
time?’ she wondered. ‘But if the Water Crest isn’t the reason, what could have gotten Everett toe
back so hastily?’ Three dayster, time passed in a blink of an eye, and Damien was still keeping his
whereabouts under wraps. He had only kept his chef around, and had made no movements that could
rouse the suspicion of those who were watching him.
Patricia furrowed her brows, as worry glinted in her eyes.” He isn’t plotting some kind of grand revenge
n at home, is he?”
Nicole nodded. “It’s a possibility we can’t rule out so easily.”
‘Something must be terribly wrong. How can he be so silent and subdued?’ Nicole wondered.

“We couldn’t find anything suspicious, no matter how hard we searched. What on earth could he
possibly be scheming? This feels very sinister,” Patricia said.
Benjamin Riddle had suspected that Damien could be waiting for Everett.
However, not a single sign showed that Everett had returned to San Joto or contacted Damien.
Nicole narrowed her eyes. ‘If my guess is right, Everett will not being back here anytime soon, but
then again, I might be wrong. Perhaps Damien didn’t tell Everett about what happened to Chloe. But
then again, Chloe’s case hasn’t been cleared off entirely by the police, so there’s no way that Everett
could’ve contacted Chloe.’ ‘I find it very suspicious that Everett is being so quiet about this. Were they
already prepared in the event that something like this happened to Chloe? Nah, these things don’t add
up,’ she thought.
Nicole bit her lip as she looked over at Patricia. “Since nothing is happening, let’s just continue to keep
an eye on them.”
Nicole waved it off, as she had more pressing matters; tasks which she could not afford to dy over
the petty issue at hand.
“Yes, Ms. Riddle,” Patricia agreed, and left the office.
Nicole picked the files on her desk up after Patricia was gone and quickly got to work.
However, it was not long before a knock on her door disrupted her flow. “Come in.”
Then, Nicole’s secretary walked in. “There’s a letter for you. Its sender is anonymous.”
Nicole looked up with her brows raised in confusion.”
Anonymous?”
‘Who on earth would send me a package anonymously?’ Nicole asked herself.
“Yeah, the staff at the front desk was unsure if it should be delivered to you, so I came to ask,” Nicole’s
secretary replied as she was holding the letter.
“Bring it over,” Nicole said as she beckoned her forward.
Nicole quickly snatched the mysterious letter and tore it open. Within the envelope was a piece of
paper with pasted letter fonts derived from newspaper cutouts.
Nicole narrowed her eyes as she read the contents of the letter. ‘Who sent this?’ “Do you have any idea
who might’ve sent this to you?” Nicole’s secretary asked when she noted the solemn look on her
employer’s face.
“It’s nothing. You may leave. Please get Patricia over here,” Nicole ordered as she dismissed her
secretary and stashed the letter away.
Upon hearing the orders, Nicole’s secretary quickly scrambled on her feet and rushed out of the office.
Patricia entered Nicole’s office not long after. “Were you asking for me?”
Patricia was unsure of what had led Nicole to summon her into the office out of the blue. However, she
was aware of the fact that an anonymous letter had been delivered to the office.
Nicole stretched her hand, holding the envelope. “Take a look at this.”
Patricia grabbed it and began to read its contents. “What, why are they threatening you?”
No shit.” Nicole sneered as her expression darkened.
