Chapter 3064
"Come in," Nicole called out.
Patricia entered, looking a bit tired. "Ms. Riddle...”
"Come, join US for lunch first," Nicole suggested, noticing Patricia's busy morning.
"Sure," Patricia agreed, taking a seat on the couch.
After lunch, Patricia began, "There's an issue with the raw materials."
"Everett's behind this again, isn’t he?" Lulu clenched her teeth in frustration.
"Yes," Patricia nodded. "The cargo ship that arrived at the port had the wrong goods. We checked everything before it left, so something must've gone wrong on the way."
Patricia added after a short pause, "I found out they swapped the goods at the last maintenance stop. So now, the real goods are probably with
Everett."
Nicole squinted a bit. "So, where are they now? Still in San Joto or at the last stop?"
"I've got someone checking, but no updates yet," Patricia replied.
"Let's wait for the news then," Nicole said, her tone getting colder. She figured once she knew where the materials were, she'd figure out how to get them back.
Lulu expressed her concern, "Doesn't this mean Everett might try to ambush US?" After all, Everett would likely expect that they would send someone to look for the materials.
"Even if there's an ambush, we'll handle it coolly," Nicole said firmly.
Everett didn't really need those materials, so Nicole knew he was just trying to mess with her. Finding the cargo shouldn't be too hard, but she bet Everett had some traps ready.
But she wasn't scared. She might not be at a disadvantage against Everett, especially with Charlie and Zane's people helping out.
Looking up at Patricia, Nicole said, "You've worked hard. Go rest for a bit."
