My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 3026

Chapter 3026

As Everett made his exit from Lawrence's office, Ian stepped in, his curiosity piqued.

"Mr. Royce, what's going on?" Ian asked, his eyes following Everett's retreating figure.

Lawrence, displaying a flicker of irritation, explained, "It appears I've thrown a wrench in his schemes, much to his displeasure."

Ian, taken aback, questioned, "So, he's operating on his own agenda?"

Lawrence snorted derisively, "Did you ever think he's straightforward? A man who doesn't hesitate to plot against his own kin is anything but simple. If

Frowning slightly, Lawrence added, "Check what he's been up to."

He had a feeling that Everett's visit was more about showing off than anything else.

"I'll get on it right away," Ian responded, quickly setting off to investigate.

After a while, Ian returned and briefed Lawrence on the situation at Riddle Corporation.

"Keep an eye on him," Lawrence ordered, his expression growing darker. Everett's return was not going to be low-key, and Lawrence wasn't certain about the success rate of his plan.

"Understood, Mr. Royce." With that, Ian departed, leaving Lawrence alone with his contemplations.

Lawrence reclined in his chair, his deep eyes flashing with a hint of coldness. 'Everett is shrewd, no doubt, but he lacks the cooperative spirit I value.'

Prepared for any eventuality, Lawrence was ready to cut ties with Everett if necessary.

Meanwhile, outside, the afternoon sun blazed in the sky.

Post-lunch, Nicole and Lulu made their way back to their office.

"We've dispatched the proposals, yet there's been no feedback. Why is that?

" Lulu expressed her concern, a hint of anxiety in her voice.

"There's no immediate need forthat. We’re awaiting further developments," Nicole responded, her smile conveying ease.

Sean, adopting a more solemn tone, interjected, "This situation with Everett could be entangled with Lawrence. It's best to proceed with caution."

Nicole acknowledged their concerns with a nod. "Yes, I'm aware of Lawrence's motives. He's looking to capitalize on Everett's return."

Sean appeared somewhat reassured by her understanding. "It's good to know you're on top of things."

Steve chimed in, "There's talk that Everett has already met with Lawrence. He's certainly not playing it safe."

Nicole let out a dismissive chuckle. "That's not surprising. Their mutual distrust could actually play to our advantage. It keeps them both off- balance."

Observing Nicole's well-informed and composed demeanor, Sean concluded, "Seems like you've got everything under control. We probably don't need to worry about you."

Nicole's response was accompanied by a light-hearted smile. "This is just a small bump in the road."

Steve replied with a hint of humor, "Well, we're here for the ride, especially during the good times."
