Chapter 2743


    “Mummy! Daddy!” All of the kids cheered, and gave the flowers they had to their parents.


    All of the other children had two flowers each, with the exception of Nn and Lana, who had three


    flowers instead. After they had gifted the flowers to Jared and Nicole, they each gave Lawrence one,


    shocking him.


    “Thank you, Godpa,” Nn and Lana said, and hugged him, Lawrence had a conflicted look on his face


    as he embraced the two little ones.


    He gently patted the kids on their backs and thanked them,” I’m the one who should be thanking you.”


    As the performance continued, Lawrence sat there absentminded and lost in thought.


    “Leo?” Nicole called out upon noticing how unusual he looked.


    “I’ll get going first. I’ve got a few things to settle. Do inform the kids about my departure,” Lawrence


    requested, and hurried out of the venue.


    Safe to say, Lawrence’s sudden departure left a strange feeling in Nicole’s stomach. ‘Lawrence seemed


    to have some kind of motive foring here today. He wasn’t here for the performance. However, he


    hasn’t really done anything. Is it just my gut feeling?’ “Mommy, where did Godpa go?” Nn and Lana


    asked after they were done with the performance.


    “He had an emergency, so he has left to deal with it. But he did wish you all the best and to have fun


    today,” Nicole informed as she ruffled the children’s hair.


    “Oh, alright,” the kids responded and took their seats beside their parents.


    After wiping the sweat off them, Nicole handed a water bottle to them and said, “It must be hot for the


    both of you. Here, drink some water.”


    “Thank you, Mommy,” the two kids said, before drinking in big gulps.


    It was the turn of the other kids to perform now, and so, Nn and Lana stayed with Nicole and Jared to


    enjoy the show.


    Meanwhile, Lawrence had just entered the car after exiting the school grounds.


    “Mr. Royce? How was it?” Ian whispered.


    In turn, Lawrence shook his head. “We’ll have to find another time.”


    “There’s not much time left for us, sir,” Ian said with a helpless look on his face.


    The Water Crest had been in Lawrence’s hands for a long time now, but nobody had been able to crack


    it. While Everett seemed harmless and cooperative on the surface, he was, in truth, also biding his time


    and not as friendly to Lawrence’s cause as he seemed. They had to gain ess to the Water Crest as


    soon as possible, just so that Lawrence could be its bearer. That way, they could achieve Mr.


    Royce Sr. ‘s final wish.


    Lawrence shot Ian a stern look. “I know.”


    He was aware of the time limit, so he had intended to use Nn’s expertise to achieve his goals.


    Unfortunately, he had hesitated moments ago, as he did not want to make his motive too obvious.


    Then, as Lawrence brainstormed for a solution, he came upon a Eureka moment. “Get someone to


    create a game and install that system into the game.”


    “Are you saying that we should make the system the final stage toplete the game?” Ian asked.


    He was shocked, and found the solution to be a great idea.


    “You could start now,” Lawrence ordered.


    There seemed to be no other way to do this anyway. If Nn could notplete the final stage of the


    game, he would naturally ask Nicole for help, and once Nicole was on the case, they might stand a


    chance in cracking the system and gaining ess to the crest.


    Through this method, they could achieve their goals without risking detection.


    No one would even think that the final stage in the game was the system keeping the Water Crest


    locked.

    Lost in thought now, Lawrence leaned back against his seat as his eyes darkened.


    By noon, the parent-child event had ended, and that was when Nicole and Jared brought the kids to the


    car.


    “Mummy? Daddy? Can we eat hamburgers today?” Lana asked with anticipation.
