Chapter 3165
'But besides those two, who else in San Joto could it be? Could it be Lawrence?' Everett wondered.
"Did you check on Lawrence?" Everett's eyes were filled with darkness. 'Is this person intending to help me, or oppose me?'
"No, but... it shouldn't be him," Jerry's tone was uncertain, yet he felt that since Lawrence had helped them covertly before, it was unlikely he'd act against them now.
"Check!" Everett suppressed his rage, his words through clenched teeth.
"Yes," Jerry complied and then turned to leave.
The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with Everett's gaze as cold as if it could swallow the world whole.
An hour later, Jerry returned.
Seeing Everett's nearly out of patience demeanor, Jerry took a deep breath and braced himself. "Sir, it wasn't Lawrence. And there's more..."
"What else?" Everett snapped impatiently. "Spit it out!"
"While we don't know who did it, it might be related to Nicole.’ Jerry lowered his head even further, his voice involuntarily softening.
"What do you mean?" Everett, who had been leaning back in his chair, sat up abruptly at Jerry's words.
"The companies received help from Nicole and have resolved their crisis. So, I suspect that our people were dealt with by Nicole as well." Of course, he hadn’t found how Nicole had intervened, but he was certain it was related to her.
"How did she manage it?" Everett's eyes narrowed slightly. The Riddle Corporation, despite its power, couldn't possibly resolve the difficulties of several companies at once, especially since, to his knowledge, Jared hadn't made a move.
