Chapter 2884


    With that, Lulu and Er anxiously watched as Nicole''s figure receded from view.


    "Hey! Stop that! You can''t go," Lulu said and grabbed Er when she saw him trying to follow Nicole out


    of the building.


    "Don''t worry.I''ll just tail her quietly,"


    Er replied in an attempt to persuade Lulu to let him go.


    Adamant on not letting him slip from her grasp, Lulu shook her head.


    "You heard what Nicole said.She explicitly told you that you aren''t allowed to follow her, so you won''t


    be."


    She had to keep Er there because she knew it was the only thing she could do to help Nicole.She


    also understood that Nicole did not want Er to put himself in danger through his reckless behavior, as


    well intentioned as he might be.


    As he did not understand the circumstances surrounding the situation, he might jeopardize Patricia''s


    safety if he exposed himself.


    After all, stealth and subtlety were not his strong suits.


    With that in mind, Lulu was determined to do what Nicole had asked of her while she patiently waited


    for any updates.


    Er sighed, helpless and despondent, as he knew that Lulu would never let him leave.


    "I''m just really worried."


    "I''m worried too, and that''s why we shouldn''t act recklessly,"


    Lulu shot back, understanding that the best they could do now was wait.


    Meanwhile, Nicole went on to contact Charlie after she had stepped out of the headquarters.


    She then exined her n to him in clear detail, though he was not without his concerns after she


    had filled him in on what she was nning to do.

    "This is too risky," he remarked.


    "Patricia might be in danger.We can''t just sit idly by," Nicole said, serious and determined.


    "But it''s also possible that Patricia has her own n.It''s just that she can''t contact us in the meantime,"


    Charlie advised.


    "If I know where she is, I might be able to help her," Nicole insisted.


    With all things considered, Nicole could still rescue Patricia if something unfortunate had urred while


    she was on her mission.


    Realizing that he could not talk her out of it, Charlie asked, "Does Mr.Johnston know about your n?"


    After a brief moment of hesitation, Nicole responded, "I will tell him."


    Defeated, Charlie sighed and nodded.


    "Alright, Mrs.Johnston.Just let me know what you need.Feel free to contact me anytime."


    "Okay."


    After hanging up, Nicole sent a message to Jared to inform him of her ns, before pocketing her


    phone.


    Then, she looked to the front and ordered, "Stop the car."


    The chauffeur pulled over at the side of the street, and in a low voice, he asked, "Erm, Mrs.Johnston?


    Where are you going?"


    "You don''t need to drive me around anymore.You don''t need to follow me either,"she said, and hurried


    out of the car before sprinting into the mall up ahead.


    By the time Jared arrived, the chauffeur was the only one left in the car, sitting in wait and in a daze.


    "Where is she?"


    Jared questioned, his deep baritone sending shivers down the chauffeur''s spine.


    In response, the chauffeur could only point to the mall and answer, "She entered the mall and never


    came out."


    Jared turned his gaze to the entrance of the mall and sighed.


    It was not that Nicole never left the mall.


    Knowing her, she had probably disguised herself in such a way that the chauffeur could not recognize


    her even after she had emerged.


    This was, however, not a bad indicator of what was toe.


    If the driver, who was rather familiar with Nicole, failed to recognize her, there was a high chance that


    her adversaries would not, thus mitigating the level of danger she was in.


    "You should head back now,"


    Jared instructed as he rolled the car window up.


    "But Mr.Johnston? What should we do now?" Charlie asked in a low voice.


    Jared narrowed his eyes as he leaned back against his seat.


    "I ask someone to investigate this in secret.I don''t want any unwanted attention on our case."


    "Got it."


    Charlie nodded in acknowledgment.


    As Jared looked out the window, a trace of worry shed in his eyes.


    ‘Will she be in danger?’ After all, herbat skills were not what they used to be, and to make things


    worse, her adversaries had been there watching her every move.


    Even a slight mistake could lead to lethal consequences.
