At that moment, Nicole was processing the news as well.


    "How could this happen?!" Lulu eximed in disbelief.


    Nicole shook her head. "No one knows yet; everyone is investigating."


    However, she couldn''t shake the feeling that this incident might be connected to Lawrence.


    Everett had leverage over Lawrence with his knowledge of Lawrence''s secrets and had even used this


    as ckmail. Now that Everett was caught, it seemed unlikely that Lawrence would let him off the


    hook, especially if it meant keeping his secrets safe.


    But Lawrence probably hadn''t anticipated that Everett''s threats would be overheard by Doretta, and


    they could now conjecture the whole situation clearly.

    "It''s really something with Everett," Lulu shook her head. "After all the effort to capture him, he just


    ends up dead."


    Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she blinked rapidly, "He didn''tmit suicide, did he?" "No," Nicole


    shook her head, confident despite theck of details, "I''m sure


    Everett wouldn''tmit suicide." "If it''s not suicide, then it must be homicide," Lulu muttered, her face


    paling. "Who could be so bold to kill Everett even after we had him under control?"


    That would indeed signify a highly dangerous individual.


    "Let''s wait and see if Charlie and his team can find anything," Nicole said, her eyes reflecting a deep


    seriousness.


    "Was it Patricia who called you? Is she involved in the investigation too?" Lulu asked, puzzled.


    Nicole shook her head, exining, "No, she''s not involved. Er is being discharged from the hospital


    today, and she was there. She just called to inform me after hearing about the incident." "Oh, Er is


    being discharged; that''s great," Lulu responded with joy.


    With Eliar’s discharge, everyone who was hospitalized is now out, which indeed was a piece of good


    news.


    "Yes, Er mentioned she would be at Grandpa''s ce tonight," Nicole said with a smile. "It should be


    quite lively there today; it''s been a long time since we''ve had such an asion." "Yeah, it''s going to be


    really lively today," Lulu echoed with a smile. "I''ll get back to my tasks then. Let''s head out together


    after work." "Alright," Nicole agreed.


    After Lulu left, Nicole also picked up her documents and busied herself with work.


    Before she knew it, it was time to leave.


    Exiting thepany, Nicole and Lulu found Jared and spencer already waiting.


    With everyone onboard, the two cars set off toward the Riddle family manor.


    In the car, Nicole looked up at Jared and asked, Any updates?" "What do you think?" Jared asked


    back, sensing Nicole might have some insights.


    After a brief pause, Nicole replied, "I think it might be rted to Lawrence." "I agree with Zane on that,


    but we haven''t found any evidence yet," Jared said, a cold glint passing through his eyes.


    "Yeah," Nicole nodded. "I believe Lawrence might have wanted to silence


    Everett permanently."


    Jared concurred with Nicole''s perspective, gently holding her hand, "Zane and I discussed this; we''ll


    act as if we''re unaware for now." "That''s what I was thinking too. If Lawrence believes he''s sessfully


    covered his tracks, we can use this to our advantage," Nicole reasoned, highlighting their strategic


    position of Lawrence being unaware of their suspicions.


    "Lawrence might make a move soon, so let''s stay vignt," Jared cautioned Nicole.
