Chapter 2877


    If Lawrence was truly the one behind all of this, her exnations about the puzzles thus far would make


    perfect sense.


    Lawrence had attained the Water Crest, but he had not been able to crack its failsafe and be its


    bearer, and due to him being unable to seek Nicole’s help directly, he had turned to giving Nn a


    modified version of the interface masked as a game as hisst resort.


    After all, Lawrence knew Nicole and Nn well enough toe up with a strategy that capitalized on


    their strengths. Lawrence had also probably thought that Nn would forever keep his secrets, making it


    difficult, if not impossible for them to learn of his true intentions from the boy.


    If it was in the past, Lawrence would only have to ask a few simple questions to gain a full idea of their


    progress and the situation they were in, granting him rtive ease with achieving his goals. But now that


    things did not go his way anymore, he had resorted to borate trickery.


    Little did Lawrence know that Nn would not tell him about his recent discoveries, allowing him to think


    that Nicole and the rest had not caught onto anything fishy just yet.


    “In the meantime, you should let Nn continue what he’s doing. Don’t make any moves for now. As for


    the application, leave it to Preston. Once he’s done, we’ll proceed.” Jared said with a serious look etched


    on his face.


    They would not grant Lawrence this victory no matter the cost. Moreover, the Water Crest had finally


    resurfaced, so it would be a good idea for them to secure it.


    Jared then turned to Nicole, his gaze softening. Up to this day, no one had sessfully be the


    bearer of two Reby Family Crests at the same time.


    Perhaps Nicole could be the first in history, and he had faith she would be able to if she wanted to.


    As her head was pounding, Nicole had decided to give this matter a rest for the night. After giving him a


    brief nod, she dragged him to bed.


    The next morning, the sun was warm and bright.


    It was about seven thirty in the morning and the dining room was a sight to behold, with all of the Riddles


    gathering at the table and chatting away in high spirits.


    In addition to those who would regrly show up for breakfast there, Tia and Mrs. Wace Sr. were there


    as well.


    As it turned out, Stanley had formally made his rtionship with Tia known to Mrs. Wace Sr. and his


    parents, Gloria and Daniel.


    “Great! That’s great!” Mrs. Wace Sr. beamed, naturally happy about it.


    She was one of the first to know about Tia’s feelings toward Stanley.


    Gloria nodded vigorously in tion, “This is definitely good news!” “I guess you have nothing to worry


    about now.” Danielughed and turned to Gloria.


    “Yeah, I don’t have to worry about it anymore.” Gloria sighed, after which she looked at the new couple.


    “About the wedding, when are you guys nning to have it?”


    Having never given it any thought, Tia lowered her head in embarrassment.


    “Mom, although Tia has said yes, I’m thinking of putting the wedding on hold in the meantime.” Stanley


    replied.

    Although he too wished to marry Tia as soon as possible, they would be in too much of a rush if they


    nned to have their wedding this month.


    “What are you guys waiting for? Since you’ve proposed, choose a date and prepare for the wedding.”


    Gloria frowned, growing impatient.


    “Mom, there really isn’t a need to rush into it. I want to give Tia some time,”


    Stanley disagreed.


    They had just made their rtionship official, so he wanted to give Tia some time to calm down.


    As the both of them had decided to be together, nothing would change.


    Therefore, there was no need to rush the wedding. Stanley’s main concern was that Tia, being the jittery,


    nervous wreck she was, would be overwhelmed if they held the ceremony as soon as possible.


    “Yeah, we’re not in a rush,” Tia echoed, not knowing what to say.


    “What a fool.” Gloria sighed in irritation. “How can you not be in a rush for it?


    There are a ton of preparations to be made. You’ll have to think about the house as well. There aren’t


    any suitable houses for you guys in this neighborhood, but I can’t just force you guys to pick one, can I?”


    “Mom, Tia and I will be staying here.” Stanley smiled as he looked at Gloria.


    “Tia and I have discussed it before, and we’ve decided to stay here.”
