Chapter 2415
Nicole's pupils shrunk. It was the first time Lawrence had come to the Riddle family, so how could he have recognized Steve among all of her older brothers?
While she understood that it did not necessarily mean that Lawrence only recognized Steve, it did imply that he was extremely familiar with the Riddle family, possibly even more so than she thought.
An unsettling feeling crept into her heart, and Nicole's face grew pale.
According to Jared, they had met Lawrence while searching for the Brave. Then, when she was met with danger,
Lawrence had saved her. Even though he knew about her identity, it still did not seem to warrant such intimate knowledge of the Riddle family unless Lawrence had done his research.
"We discussed it at the time. Since you had no memories and Lawrence saved you, it wouldn't have made sense to burden you with this information. It would only add to your troubles," Steve explained.
Nicole nodded gently and then asked, "What did you find out?"
"That's what Sean and I find strange. After investigating for so long, we haven't found anything. In fact, it's made us even more suspicious. Everything we wanted to find has been carefully hidden by Lawrence," Steve replied.
Nicole bit her lip. "You and Sean should stop your investigation."
"Why? Do you trust him that much?" Steve asked in concern.
Nicole shook her head. "No. Actually, I've also started to feel that I shouldn't rely on him as much as before. So, don't worry about me anymore. I'm aware of it now and I'll be cautious."
Steve felt relieved. "Alright, I’m glad you're confident in handling it yourself." Then, he smiled. "Back then, Sean said you're intelligent. So if there were an issue, you'd probably sense it yourself. It's better than us telling you and making things difficult for you."
Indeed, Nicole had now realized the problem herself. If she was mentally prepared, she probably would not be harmed by Lawrence.
