Chapter 3220
After dinner, Nicole and Jared went to their room with Nolan and Lana.
They hadn't spent much quality time with the kids in the past few days, and it was clear that Nolan and Lana missed them. So, they decided to dedicate the evening to being with them, playing games and enjoying each other's company.

In a bustling hotel with guests coming and going, the atmosphere was lively. In the luxurious penthouse suite on the top floor, Everett faced Lawrence, speaking calmly, "So, tell me, what do you want me to do?" "Nothing specific," Lawrence replied casually. "Just stay here quietly for a few days until the situation cools down, then you can leave."
Everett frowned. "Cool down? Do you think I can just reappear in San Joto like nothing's happened?" He wondered to himself, Tm currently a wanted man. What does he mean by 'cool down'? As if the situation will resolve itself if they don't catch me.' "It's all about your own skills, isn't it? After all, you've managed to return once before, haven't you?" Lawrence retorted, his tone insinuating.
Everett realized Lawrence was referring to the time he had come back to San Joto disguised as Lexter. But the current situation was different; the same plan couldn't be used again.
"Just tell me what you want in exchange for letting US leave," he insisted, seeking clarity. Right now, his main focus was on finding a way to leave San Joto and figuring out what to do next.
He believed that as long as he could leave safely, he still had a chance. But if he was caught, everything would be over. It was confusing that Lawrence had him rescued only to keep him confined here. 'What exactly is Lawrence plotting by keeping me here?' he wondered.
"Stay, wait for the right opportunity; I believe you have the ability," Lawrence insisted, his demeanor calm, his tone steady, as if everything was under his control.
