Chapter 3228
Watching Lulu's anxious expression, Nicole couldn't help but shake her head with a light chuckle, "Don't worry, it'll be alright.' After all the preparation, she was confident that they could bring things to a successful conclusion.
"How can I not be anxious? Everett has managed to escape unscathed so many times; I won't be sure of the outcome until the very end," Lulu said, puffing her cheeks slightly in frustration.
She was genuinely puzzled by Everett's uncanny ability to survive against the odds time and again.
Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of darkness flashing through them. This time, Lawrence had rescued Everett, but she couldn't fathom why Lawrence would choose to help Everett at this time. She wondered, 'Could it be that Lawrence has some vulnerability that Everett is exploiting?'
Frowning, Nicole felt increasingly skeptical. She knew Lawrence was extremely cautious; if he was aware that Everett had something on him, she doubted Lawrence would be coerced into helping. She suspected Lawrence would rather eliminate Everett than be manipulated by him.
"Nicole, what are you thinking?" Lulu asked, noting Nicole's serious expression.
Snapping back to the moment, Nicole shared her thoughts: "I just find it strange that Lawrence would help Everett." "It is indeed strange. But who can make sense of those two?" Lulu remarked, implying their history of exploiting Nicole.
"Wait a minute." A thought suddenly struck Lulu. "They aren't still plotting to go after your emblem, are they?" "They might think about it, but they are unlikely to act on it," Nicole speculated, raising an eyebrow. At this point, even though Lawrence had saved Everett, it was doubtful they would trust each other enough to collaborate.
"If that's the case, then there's probably only one reason Lawrence saved Everett," Lulu shrugged. "He wants to use Everett."
She suspected that Lawrence might want Everett to do his dirty work, use him as a scapegoat, or, if necessary, sacrifice Everett in his stead.
