Chapter 3131


    However, Everett believed it was better if Doretta had a condition. As long as someone had a


    weakness, they were easier to control. "Alright, agree to her terms," he responded.


    Jerry hesitated. ''Are you sure you want to agree?"


    "We need to make her feel secure enough to work for US." Whether Everett would fulfill the promise


    Jerry seemed to understand and nodded immediately. "Okay. I''ll pass on the message to her.''


    "Mhm," Everett hummed in satisfaction, a shadow crossing his eyes.


    By setting this ticking time bomb next to Er, he doubted Er could easily escape unscathed. ''Nicole,


    let''s see what you''ll do when the timees.*

    The sun set, casting itsst golden light.


    After a busy day, Nicole left work to find Jared already waiting for her.


    Getting into the car, Nicole smiled. "Have you been waiting long?"


    A softness shed in Jared''s eyes. "If you hadn''te down soon, I was actually nning to go up


    and see what had kept you."


    "Just had to deal with somest-minute documents,’ Nicole exined.


    "As long as you''re okay." Jared gently took Nicole''s hand, pulling her into his embrace.


    Resting against his shoulder, Nicole took a deep breath. "Today did bring more challenges."


    She briefly outlined the situation, then sighed. "Even though everything is currently within our


    expectations, I know we can''t let our guard down.”


    "Mhm, with Everett controlling the leader of the Eastern Falcon, their members will naturally obey him,"


    Jared''s eyes darkened. If they couldn''t neutralize the Eastern Falcon''s influence, capturing Everett


    might not resolve everything.


    Nicole bit her lip slightly and nodded. "I understand. Zane mentioned he''d arrange for someone to


    handle the situation with the Eastern Falcon''s headquarters and would contact us with any updates."


    Gently squeezing Nicole''s hand, Jared spoke softly, "Rx, everything will be resolved."

    "Mhm," Nicole agreed, closing her eyes to rest.


    After a while, they arrived home.


    "Mom, Dad," Nicole greeted Daniel and Gloria upon seeing them.


    Sitting down next to the couch, Nicole asked somewhat puzzled, "Where are Nn and Lana?"


    "They saw you hadn''te back yet and went to Tia''s ce with Stanley," Gloria exined with a


    smile.


    Nicole couldn''t help but shake her head and chuckle. "Those two little rascals."


    Knowing they had gone to the backyard, Nicole decided to join them instead of calling them back.


    "Stanley probably had dinner there; No need to wait for them. Let''s eat," Gloria suggested.


    "Alright," they agreed, and the family moved to the dining room.


    "Jared, Nicole, I heard you''ve been dealing with some problemstely. Is everything okay?" Daniel


    inquired.


    Jared responded calmly, "It''s manageable."


    "What''s going on?" Gloria''s expression became worried, as it was rare for work matters to be


    discussed at the dinner table.


    "Mom, it''s just some work-rted stuff," Nicole quickly reassured Gloria.


    "Yes, I was just asking," Daniel added, echoing the reassurance.
