"Nicole, any updates on what Preston mentioned yesterday?" Lulu asked.
"Not yet, but Everett can''t wait much longer," Nicole replied, her eyes showing concern. She believed
that by now, Everett would be feeling the most pressure.
"What on earth could Everett be hiding?" Lulu wondered, puzzled that despite so many people
searching for so long, they still couldn''t locate him.
Nicole narrowed her eyes, deep in thought. "Aqu must be really skilled," she said, wondering how
Everett managed to get such a capable person on his side.
Lulu nodded, '' He''s definitely mysterious and skilled. He''s hidden Everett so well that nobody can find
him."
Nicole added, "People who can hide like this must be really good at avoiding being watched and must
also be experts at disguising themselves. " She figured this was how Everett''s men managed to stay
hidden from everyone searching forthem.
"Ms. Riddle, I was thinking the same thing," Patricia chimed in as she entered the room, catching the
tail end of Nicole''s words.
"Does that mean it''ll be even harder to find him?" Lulu asked, her brow furrowing in concern.
"No matter how tough it gets, we have to find him," Nicole asserted, her gaze steely and determined.
The room fell silent for a few seconds before Patricia broke the tension." Ms. Riddle, I''m heading to
BayCorp now." Despite having rested all morning, she was still anxious about Er’s situation.
"Okay," Nicole replied calmly.
Patricia nodded and swiftly left the room.
"It''s obvious that Patricia is really concerned about Er," Lulu remarked, her expression softening.
She had thought that everything had calmed down, but Everett''s escape had caught them off guard.
She added jokingly, "Everett must be as hard to kill as a cockroach."
"Indeed, Ell ar is in greater dangerparatively," Nicole said, her voice tinged with concern.
While she had entertained the possibility of Everett seeking revenge on members of the Riddle family,
the current circumstances made it clear that Er was the most likely target.
"You''re right. Everett must have thought Er was an easy target, but look how that turned out..." Lulu
shrugged, implying that Everett must be incredibly resentful toward Er by now.
"Let''s all just focus on our tasks; we can''t stop everything just because of Everett. We need to be fully
prepared, but we can''t neglect our other responsibilities," Nicole resolved. Ensuring thorough readiness
was crucial, but so was continuing with their usual work.
"Right, I''ll get back to work," Lulu nodded in agreement. While she was concerned and intended to
inquire about these matters, she also acknowledged her limitations in providing assistance.

Hence, she decided to focus on thepany''s affairs instead, hoping to alleviate some of Nicole''s
burdens.
Nicole sighed and picked up the phone to call Zane.
"Nicole," came Zane''s voice.
After updating Zane on the situation, Nicole spoke softly, "We need to keep a close eye on Aqu and
also Everett. I suspect he might use Doretta to his advantage."
"I understand. I''ve been considering that possibility as well," Zane replied.
"That''s reassuring," Nicole said, feeling somewhat relieved.
After a slight hesitation, Zane asked, "Is everything okay at home?"
"It''s fine. I guess since everyone already knows Everett''s character and methods, it is easy for them to
ept the situation," Nicole responded.
"It''s right to caution everyone to be careful." While they spected on Everett''s next move, it was still
essential to maintain necessary precautions.
"This situation might be a bit tricky; you be careful too," Nicole advised.
Zane replied with a light chuckle, "Don''t worry, I''d be more concerned if he didn''t show up."
"Alright, take care," Nicole said with a slight smile before saying goodbye.
"Goodbye," Zane ended the call.
With everything arranged, Nicole took a deep breath and picked up the documents beside her, ready to
tackle the next task at hand.
