Chapter 2237
Lawrence looked out of the window, and his gaze became even darker.
Jared was really adept at pulling tricks and maneuvers, while Lawrence had been extremely careful and cautious with every move he made. And yet, once Jared had shifted the pieces to his favor, the tides turned.
Lawrence even assumed that if he simply allowed Iris to do her job, Jared would only find out about her when he investigates. But Io and behold, Jared was able to connect the dots, traced it back to Lawrence, and used it as an opportunity to retaliate.
Lawrence had poured a lot of effort into the project abroad. If he could not solve this issue, he would suffer major losses. Fortunately for him, he had noticed that something iffy was going on. At present, Lawrence wanted to see if Jared would continue playing the same card, now that Nicole had been dragged into it.
In the Johnston Group headquarters, Max followed Jared into the office and with a heavy look on his face, he reported, "Lawrence went and met with Miss Nicole. Could he be scheming something?"
After all, the outcome of the entire plan was about to come to fruition even before the final step had been executed. Yet, Lawrence could remain calm.
A cool and mocking look flashed across Jared's face, and in smug fashion, he said, "Inform the bank and order them to control all personal assets under Nicole's name. Every transaction is to be released three days later."
Max could not help but widen his eyes, "What you're trying to say is that Lawrence met up with Miss Nicole to ask for investment funds?"
'It's obvious that if Lawrence had sought help from Miss Nicole, she would definitely oblige. But how can I explain this to Miss Nicole? I can't possibly say that Lawrence is at the receiving end of retaliation after he failed to trick Mr. Johnston,' Max thought.
A streak of light crossed Jared's eyes. "Do you really think he'd be in the mood to catch up with Nicole at such a time?"
It was just an excuse for him. Lawrence's motive would still be the same.
"If Miss Nicole really did him a favor..." Max's face turned pale, as Jared's plan would definitely be affected.
After all, Jared would not ignore her role in this situation.
Confidently, Jared said, "I won't give her the opportunity to do so."
Although Jared was unsure about how Lawrence had explained his case to Nicole, he knew that she most definitely would trust Lawrence and aid him. The only thing Jared had to do was to stop Nicole in secret.
