Chapter 3087
"If Lawrence decides to break our agreement and see Nolan and Lana behind my back, I won't hesitate to cut off all contact with him," Nicole stated firmly.
"What is he even thinking? I can't wrap my head around it," Lulu fumed. “ How can he hurt you and then act like nothing's wrong?"
Lulu found Lawrence's actions incomprehensible. 'Is he heartless, or is he just not thinking straight?'
"There's a lot you don't know," Nicole said, her eyes narrowing with meaning.
Lawrence wasn't just a company's CEO; he held significant influence in Mecrounia. When Nicole and Jared sought his help five years ago, his status was already high.
Now, his position in Mecrounia was even more prominent, not to mention his hidden, darker identity.
Nicole was aware of all this, as Lawrence hadn't kept it from her before she regained her memory.
As Lulu observed Nicole's thoughtful expression, her own demeanor grew more serious.
While Lulu didn't know all the details, she could tell from Nicole's tone that Lawrence was more complex than he seemed. She was aware of his influence abroad, but Nicole's attitude hinted that his power went beyond what she had imagined.
If Lawrence wasn't simply irrational, then his actions suggested a belief that he could manipulate everything, that everything should bend to his will.
A shiver ran down Lulu's spine as she voiced her concern, "So, his arrival in San Joto was planned with ulterior motives from the beginning."
"It began with the Fire Crest, and now...' Nicole trailed off, knowing that after the Water Crest incident, Lawrence would likely attempt to obtain both Crests. However, she sensed his motives might extend beyond that.
"That means you're still at risk," Lulu said anxiously, clenching her teeth." It's absolutely disgraceful."
"It's all about personal gain," Nicole replied calmly. "The world is filled with people chasing fame and profit; what matters is how far they're willing to go and the methods they'll employ."
