My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2654

Chapter 2654

"It is exactly because of this very concern that he needs to use Nolan to achieve what he wants." Jared held Nicole's hands gently. "At the end of the day, none of us have seen the Water Crest before. No one knows what it looks like either. The only way he could crack it and not catch your attention is by enlisting Nolan's help."

If Lawrence approached Nicole directly, the outcome would be predictable; Nicole would be able to tell that the object in question was the Water Crest. In addition to that, Lawrence would have to forego his right to own the Water Crest, hence he would not risk it.

After hearing Jared's explanation, Nicole nodded. "You're right."

"I'll get Max to verify it." Jared's eyes became frosty.

If that was indeed the truth, Jared would never allow Lawrence within an inch of the Water Crest. For someone as evil as Lawrence to own the Water Crest would spell unimaginable disaster for everyone else.

As Jared and Nicole were discussing the issue, they did not realize that Nolan was keeping an eye on them. Although he appeared to be playing with Lana, Nolan had been eavesdropping, and had heard every single detail of their conversation.

Nolan nervously bit his lips and balled his knuckle into a fist.

He seemed to be hurt by that exchange.

Meanwhile, at the secret base camp in Mecrounia, Lawrence was glaring at the computer screen after he had logged off.

"How was it? Did you not make it?" Everett asked impatiently.

"We can't rush it. This needs to be done step by step.” Lawrence rolled his eyes at Everett as he responded.

"Are you sure you have more time? Things have come to this." Everett replied with dissatisfaction.

Hearing that, Lawrence glared at him coldly and said," You're in no position to instruct me on what to do. Besides, you'd be an idiot to underestimate that little kid. He's not an ordinary five-year-old kid. You'll regret it in the future for underestimating him now."

"Pfft, how good can he be?" Everett continued doubting his words, though he kept mum thereafter.
