My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2978

Chapter 2978

Nicole paused briefly, weighing her words. "Yes, and I’m going to ensure the news of my presence at the event is openly circulated."

It seemed wiser not to conceal her schedule, as transparency might provoke a reaction from the opposing party.

Max's comprehension dawned, his complexion turning a shade paler. "Mrs. Johnston, are you really planning to use yourself as bait?"

It was evident that exposing Nicole's itinerary now would certainly draw the attention of those figures lurking in the dark.

Nicole nodded affirmatively. "Since I'm their target, let them focus on me. It'll keep others out of harm's way."

Considering their reluctance to confront her in San Joto, she saw an opportunity to draw them out.

"But isn't that exceedingly risky?" Max's worry was palpable.

Nicole looked toward Jared, her lips curving into a smile." You wouldn't let anything happen to me, right?"

"I'll be by your side," Jared stated, his tone solid and resolute.

Nicole's expression showed a momentary frown, then she acquiesced with a nod. "Okay."

"When are you planning to depart, Mrs. Johnston?" Max inquired.

After a moment's thought, Nicole replied, "I'll have Lulu arrange the tickets. There are still a few matters I need to address."

She couldn't pinpoint the exact time of departure yet, but left it in Lulu's capable hands.

"Possibly," Jared acknowledged, implying there were deeper plans at play.

Realizing his role in the larger scheme, Max accepted his duty. "Understood, sir. We'll ensure Scorpio pays this time."

The situation was intricate. Lawrence's cooperation with Scorpio appeared superficial, more a maneuver for his own agenda.

Max internally resolved, 'With the Johnstons away, they're likely to make a move. We need to be vigilant here.'

Meanwhile, Nicole settled into her office. Moments later, Lulu entered with several documents.

"Nicole," Lulu began, laying the papers on the desk, "take a look to see if anything here need adjusting?"
