Chapter 2725
Cindy then shot Martin a smile. "I guess I do know quite a little bit about you. You must be lucky to have me as a friend. r»
Martin understood that there were many factors in play that were beyond his control. Therefore, he truly was lucky to have a friend like Cindy.
"So, since you've now made peace with your feelings, will you not consider other women as potential partners?" Cindy questioned.
"No." Martin answered quickly.
This was not something he could help either, for it had become near impossible for him to develop feelings for another woman.
Understandably, Cindy smiled and decided to drop the subject, bringing up work-related topics instead.
After lunch, Nicole and Jared left the restaurant and made their way back to their respective companies. He proceeded to send her back to Riddle Corporation. Then, he left for Johnston Group, whereupon Nicole turned around and entered her company building.

"Hmm. Make sure our men monitor him closely. Be sure to intercept any international calls he receives," Jared replied, his eyes dark and cold.
"Specters are known to dwell silently in the dark. If Damien truly isn't doing anything, you can be assured that something must be off," he continued.
"You mean he's just trying to trick us into thinking he's not up to anything, when in reality, he's still in contact with someone out there?" Max frowned a little. 'The only person whom Damien can contact now is Everett. There's no one else.’
As that thought flashed across Max's mind, his gaze darkened. If their predictions were correct, then they had completed their objective. Everett had been on the run for a longtime after all.
"Ask Charlie to keep an eye on Lawrence too," Jared ordered, his voice deep and low,
As compared to Everett, Jared felt that Lawrence was more of a threat who deserved heavier scrutiny. At the end of the day, the Water Crest was with Lawrence, and once he had successfully activated it, there would be no telling what he would do with it.
After all, Lawrence had been eyeing Nicole's Fire Crest for the longest time, and after he had failed, he went on to get his hands on the Water Crest. At this point, Lawrence's true intentions and motives were as clear as day.
Knowing what Jared meant, Max solemnly replied,"
Understood."
