Nicole nodded, understanding the situation. "So that''s what happened."


    She had been curious about how Patricia came to meet Doretta, and it turned out Doretta had gone to


    see Emma.


    "Also, I found out about the two guys from yesterday; they are Lawrence''s men. They didn''t have any


    specific task except to follow you. I think they were just probing," Patricia said with a dark look in her


    eyes.


    "Lawrence must be nning to make a move," Nicole remarked, her expression somber. She knew


    that his decision to have her followed was partly to test the waters and partly as a precaution.

    Even if she showed no reaction, he would not wait indefinitely; he was probably ready to act.


    "What should we do then?" Patricia asked, her expression turning serious, sensing they might need to


    prepare for Lawrence''s next moves.


    "Leave it to Charlie and the others. We should continue as if nothing is amiss on our part," Nicole


    instructed, feeling that they should observe the situation quietly, still, they needed to stay in touch with


    Charlie and Doretta if anything came up.


    "Understood, Ms. Riddle. I''ll get back to my tasks if there''s nothing else," Patricia acknowledged, ready


    to focus on her own work after reporting the situation.


    "Alright," Nicole nodded, giving her permission to leave.


    After Patricia left, Nicole leaned back in her chair, a shadow crossing her eyes.


    She was certain that the people following her were Lawrence''s, and they had no specific mission other


    than to track her. ''It seems even with my low profile, Lawrence is still wary of me.''


    She thought it made sense. Lawrence, being so cautious, would be suspicious that others might know


    what Everett did, naturally making him more guarded.


    Her hands clenched unconsciously into fists, and a chill seemed to emanate from her. ''Lawrence


    Royce, if you wish for your deeds to remain unknown, you shouldn''t have done them in the first ce.


    Sooner orter, the truth wille out.''


    The door opened with a knock, and Lulu entered cautiously, holding an envelope. "Nicole, there’s an


    anonymous letter here for you. Do you want to check it out?"


    Nicole''s brows furrowed slightly. "What kind of letter?" "I''m not sure. It was just delivered downstairs,


    addressed to you, but there''s no indication of who sent it." Lulu hesitated, lowering her voice as she


    said, "Could it be something problematic?"


    Considering the mysterious nature of the delivery, she felt they should be cautious.


    Nicole understood Lulu''s concerns. With the timing and anonymity of the letter, it could indeed be


    problematic, but ignoring it might mean missing crucial information. After a moment''s hesitation, she


    opened the envelope and examined the contents.


    "What''s going on?" Lulu asked cautiously, noticing Nicole''s intense focus on the documents.


    "It''s indeed from Lawrence," Nicole stated gravely.


    "He''s made his move!" Lulu''s voice rose slightly in rm. "What is he nning?" "These are


    documents rted to a project we once coborated on. He''s transferred this project, but thepany


    he''s transferred it to is just a shell corporation,” Nicole said, her voice tinged with a cold sharpness.


    "Is that all?" Lulu blinked, somewhat puzzled, wondering, ''Isn''t that a rtively minor issue?''


    Seeing Lulu''sck of understanding on the situation, Nicole borated, ■'' He''s using this project to tie


    US down, to divert my attention."


    She was certain that Lawrence had other ns in motion, nning to strike decisively while she was


    distracted.


    "So, he''s killing two birds with one stone," Lulu summarized. On one hand, he was dragging Riddle


    Corporation into a time-consuming issue, and on the other, he was free to execute his real agenda.
