Even though the rtionship between him and Nicole was a silent understanding of their mutual


    antagonism, at this moment, Lawrence still did not wish to directly reveal himself as Nicole''s adversary.

    "Yes, I will," Ian responded.


    Leaning back in his seat, Lawrence asked, "How''s that fool Everett doing?"


    Thinking himself clever, yet in the end, Everett still suffered great losses.


    "There hasn''t been any movement yet, but it should be soon. After all, he can''t wait much longer," Ian


    spected.


    "Hmm," Lawrence hummed lightly, acknowledging that indeed, Everett could wait no longer.


    "Sir, about Aqu..." Ian''s expression turned serious.


    He knew Aqu was a formidable figure, one that they, too, needed to be wary of.


    A shadow passed through Lawrence''s eyes, his expression growing colder. He hadn''t expected Everett


    to have enlisted Aqu''s loyalty, no wonder Everett dared to be so brazen.


    "Although I''ve arranged for people to watch him, we''ve never seeded, not daring to follow too


    closely for fear of revealing our identities to Aqu, " Ian admitted, finding the situation tricky. While they


    wanted to uncover Aqu''s background, it wasn’t easy.


    "No need to rush; someone will investigate for US," Lawrence said meaningfully.


    Everyone knew of Aqu''s capabilities. His people were worried about exposure, naturally hampering


    their actions, making investigations harder, but it wouldn''t stop them from learning the oue.


    Realizing Lawrence''s implication, Ian had an epiphany. "Right, sir, you''re correct." They might not


    uncover it themselves, but they could wait for the oue.


    "Let''s go," Lawrencemanded calmly.


    "Yes." Ian started the car and left the kindergarten.


    Lawrence''s gaze shifted to the window, his brooding eyes revealing nothing of his thoughts.


    Nicole and Jared''s car entered the Riddle residence. Noticing the vehicles in the courtyard, Nicole


    raised an eyebrow. "Looks like Lulu and June are back." "It''s uncles and their wives," Nn and Lana


    recognized Spencer and Samuel''s cars as well.


    Entering the living room, the lively atmosphere instantly lifted everyone''s spirits.


    "You''re back," Lulu greeted as she saw Nicole and Jared arrive with Nn and Lana.


    Nn and Lana politely greeted everyone.


    "Nn, Lana, look how tall you''ve gotten," Lulu and June observed, clearly delighted.


    It seemed to them that the children had grown a lot since theirst visit.


    The family gathered, chatting in a warm and lively atmosphere.


    While they were talking, Stanley and Tia also returned.


    Seeing so many people at home, the couple paused in surprise.


    "You''re all here," Stanley remarked, somewhat unexpectedly. "Is there something going on at home?"


    "Today was your prewedding photo shoot, right? How did it go? Are you satisfied?" Lulu asked, turning


    to Tia.


    As long as Tia was happy, Lulu figured Stanley would be too.


    "Satisfied," Tia blushed slightly, her voice softening.


    "It really went well, but it was indeed tiring," Stanleymented, guiding Tia to the couch. "Sit down


    and rest for a bit."


    After pouring her some water and handing her the ss, he said, "Drink some water." "Thank you," Tia


    took the ss and sipped.


    "Ah, it might have been a bit tiring, but it''s all worth it when you''re in good spirits, right?" Lulu said,


    looking for confirmation from Tia.
