Chapter 3231
Doretta's pupils contracted slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she decided to stay put. She figured there was no need to follow; Everett wasn't likely to escape today. By threatening Lawrence, Everett had sealed his fate-if Lawrence managed to take him, the odds would not be in Everett's favor.
Everett knew this as well; his earlier outburst was a desperate measure. He still planned to find a way to escape; being captured or returning with Lawrence wasn't an option, as it would likely lead to his death.
Seth, leading his team, glanced at Doretta. She subtly gestured toward the back door, and understanding her hint, Seth directed his team to pursue.
Ten minutes later, the operation inside the factory concluded.
The captured men from Lawrence's group were sent to the police station by Max's team.
As for Lawrence and Everett, Seth and his team pursued them, determined not to let Everett get away.
Once everything settled down and quieted, Doretta slowly approached
Jared's car and said, "Mr. Johnston, I wish to see Mrs. Johnston."
Jared frowned, aware that Doretta was one of Zane’s people. Yet, her immediate desire wasn't to meet Zane after escaping danger but to speak with Nicole, which was intriguing.
"I have something important to discuss with Mrs. Johnston," Doretta said, biting her lip. "It's about something that happened years ago."
A flash of cold light passed through Jared's eyes, and he said sternly, "Get in."
Doretta opened the passenger door, got into the car, and settled in.
Max started the car, driving toward Riddle residence.
