Chapter 3054


    Everett, looking at the documents in his hand, was filled with satisfaction.


    "Nicole is so smart, yet Er, who has been following her around, hasn''t learned anything," he snorted


    coldly, cing the document on his desk.


    "Mr. Wright, now that the bait has been taken, what''s our next move?” Jerry asked quietly.


    "Er signing the contract will start his preparations. Keep an eye on him. Once he''s nearly ready, let


    our mole escape," Everett instructed.


    "Yes," Jerry agreed, then added, "Should we proceed with the other ns?"


    Frowning slightly, Everett pondered before saying, "We can start targeting


    DillCorp."


    That branch was managed by someone Nicole appointed, and any significant issues had to be reported


    back to the Riddle Corporation, creating a dy inmunication which could work in their favor.


    "Alright, I''ll make the arrangements," Jerry said before leaving.


    Everett leaned back in his chair, legs crossed on the desk, clearly in a good mood. This was the most


    pleasant moment he had felt since returning to San Joto. He thought to himself, ''Step by step, I will


    reim everything and hold it with my own hands...''


    At noon, under the scorching sun, Nicole, Lulu, and Patricia left thepany for lunch.


    "How''s your arm?" Lulu asked Patricia.


    "Much better now," Patricia replied, her gaze drifting to the bandage on her arm, seemingly lost in


    thought.


    Lulu was puzzled, noticing something odd about Patricia''s demeanor.


    "Are you really okay?" Lulu asked again.


    "Yes, I''m fine," Patricia took a deep breath, regaining her usualposure.


    Lulu couldn''t help but sigh, "You were a workaholic when you arrived, and now, it seems even worse


    than before. You don''t even take a break when you''re injured." "There''s a lot going on recently. It''ll get


    better after this busy period,” Patricia said with a faint smile.


    She knew everyone was concerned about her, but being upied with work was actually better for her.


    She couldn''t just stay at home alone; her mood would never settle that way.


    She admitted she was using work to numb herself, but she had no other choice but to leave everything


    to time.


    As lunch was served and they were about to start eating, Preston hurried over. "I knew you''d be here


    for lunch," Preston said as he sat down and ordered his lunch.


    "What''s the rush? Is something wrong?" Lulu asked with some worry as she knew Preston wouldn''t


    "There is something," Preston nced at Lulu and Patricia before looking at Nicole, "Everett might be


    nning to make a move on DillCorp next." "How do you know?" Lulu asked, surprised.


    Preston exined, "I managed to track his assistant''sputer. There was a n, but I didn''t dare to


    stay too long in case he noticed me, so I''m not clear on the details."


    He had seen ns regarding DillCorp but had to abort copying the information when Jerry logged in,


    fearing detection.


    "Could it be like with Er?" Lulu frowned, looking at Nicole.


    Nicole''s expression darkened slightly, "It shouldn''t be." "Then what will he do?" Lulu''s face fell a bit.
