My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2997

Chapter 2997

"Leave it to Zane," Jared said coolly.

"Scorpio has already been handed over to Pisces and should be with Zane by now," Max replied.

With Scorpio captured, the Eastern Falcon's influence in San Joto was effectively wiped out. Now, only Lawrence remained a concern.

After a pause, Max added, "Lawrence knows about Scorpio's capture, but he's unusually quiet. It feels like he's plotting something."

"Keep an eye on him," Jared instructed. "Lawrence must be feeling the pressure now. He's bound to make a move."

Even if they didn't go after Lawrence, it was likely he would come after them. Without Scorpio to shield him, Lawrence had two choices: retreat or strike first. But knowing his character, retreat seemed unlikely.

"Yes," Max acknowledged respectfully.

The car continued forward, Jared leaning back in his seat, his eyes filled with deep contemplation, though his thoughts remained inscrutable.

"Mr. Royce, Jared and Nicole have returned. They came back last night,” Ian reported as he entered Lawrence's office.

Lawrence scoffed scornfully, "Scorpio turned out to be useless."

He was disappointed that Scorpio had squandered such a good opportunity and ended up captured.

"Nicole has already signed the contract with Apex Corp, and also..." Ian hesitated, glancing at Lawrence.

Annoyed, Lawrence glared at Ian. "And what? Spit it out."

Ian's face paled slightly as he replied, "Apart from that, they've also signed a project for the joint development of high-tech military robots. It's a confidential project, not widely known."
