Chapter 3233
After briefly biting her lip, Nicole calmly responded, "It's alright, he probably realized there was no hope and thus abandoned Everett." "So, you mean Lawrence initially helped Everett but then gave up on him?" Preston surmised.
"Right," Nicole confirmed, giving a brief rundown of the events.
Preston remarked, impressed, "I thought Everett was incredibly skilled to escape from such an encirclement. It's unbelievable." He had been shocked when he heard Everett was captured, hardly believing it was real. It turned out Everett's escape was facilitated by Lawrence's secret assistance.
"Does this mean all of Everett's associates have been rounded up? There shouldn't be anyone else, right?" Lulu speculated with a slight frown.
She pondered, 'It must be so, especially if even Lawrence has abandoned Everett. It's unlikely anyone else would assist him now.' "Great, finally, everything is settled," Preston looked around the group." Should we head back to Grandpa's place tomorrow?" "I think we should check in," Spencer suggested.
The others agreed, "Indeed, we should go back."
Even though Benjamin had come to terms with Everett's actions, now that there was a resolution, everyone felt it was essential to inform Benjamin, or perhaps their return could also alleviate the weight on his heart.
Having agreed on their plan, everyone departed as it was getting late, and gradually the house quieted down. It wasn't until everyone else had settled for the night that Nicole and Jared retreated to their own room.
Observing Nicole's somber expression, Jared gently embraced her, suggesting, "Maybe this is for the best."
