Chapter 2877
If Lawrence was truly the one behind all of this, her explanations about the puzzles thus far would make perfect sense.
Lawrence had attained the Water Crest, but he had not been able to crack its failsafe and become its bearer, and due to him being unable to seek Nicole's help directly, he had turned to giving Nolan a modified version of the interface masked as a game as his last resort.
After all, Lawrence knew Nicole and Nolan well enough to come up with a strategy that capitalized on their strengths. Lawrence had also probably thought that Nolan would forever keep his secrets, making it difficult, if not impossible for them to learn of his true intentions from the boy.
If it was in the past, Lawrence would only have to ask a few simple questions to gain a full idea of their progress and the situation they were in, granting him relative ease with achieving his goals. But now that things did not go his way anymore, he had resorted to elaborate trickery.
Little did Lawrence know that Nolan would not tell him about his recent discoveries, allowing him to think that Nicole and the rest had not caught onto anything fishy just yet.
"In the meantime, you should let Nolan continue what he’s doing. Don't make any moves for now. As for the application, leave it to Preston. Once he's done, we'll proceed." Jared said with a serious look etched on his face.
They would not grant Lawrence this victory no matter the cost. Moreover, the Water Crest had finally resurfaced, so it would be a good idea for them to secure it.
Jared then turned to Nicole, his gaze softening. Up to this day, no one had successfully become the bearer of two Reby Family Crests at the same time. Perhaps Nicole could be the first in history, and he had faith she would be able to if she wanted to.
As her head was pounding, Nicole had decided to give this matter a rest for the night. After giving him a brief nod, she dragged him to bed.
The next morning, the sun was warm and bright.
It was about seven thirty in the morning and the dining room was a sight to behold, with all of the Riddles gathering at the table and chatting away in high spirits.
In addition to those who would regularly show up for breakfast there, Tia and Mrs. Wallace Sr. were there as well.
As it turned out, Stanley had formally made his relationship with Tia known to Mrs. Wallace Sr. and his parents, Gloria and Daniel.
