My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 3221

Chapter 3221

"She's been in her room since she got back, seemingly behaving herself for now," Aquila reported.

Everett's gaze darkened slightly as he instructed, "Keep an eye on her." "Sir, if we manage to escape this time, are we taking her with US?" Aquila asked, somewhat perplexed. In his view, it would have been simpler to deal with Doretta immediately, eliminating any further concerns.

"Keep her for now. She might still serve as a bargaining chip if we can't escape smoothly," Everett responded with a snort.

Aquila was taken aback. "They would be willing to negotiate for Doretta? Really?" He doubted the others would compromise for Doretta's sake, considering they'd likely prefer to see her brought to justice.

"They might not, but Emma would," Everett stated confidently.

He vividly remembered how Emma had earnestly tried to persuade Doretta to reconsider her path, even casting a concerned look back at Doretta when leaving, a look filled with distress. That expression alone indicated Emma cared about Doretta.

Aquila, unaware of the full situation, expressed his doubt. "Sir, even after Doretta orchestrated Emma's capture, would she still be willing to help her?

"Follow my orders," Everett said firmly, ending the discussion with a stern look at Aquila.

Aquila bowed respectfully. "Understood." He understood that Everett was no longer interested in discussing the matter.

"You may leave now," Everett said, leaning back on the couch, his eyes revealing a depth of unspoken thoughts.

Aquila exited quietly, carefully closing the door behind him.

Everett's gaze narrowed as he sat back, his eyes staring into the distance, deep in thought.

He knew Lawrence wouldn't have rescued him out of pure kindness; there had to be a hidden agenda. However, with his current lack of power, Everett couldn't understand what he could possibly offer that Lawrence might want.
