344.Chapter 344

The Nicholson family was a century-old clan; there was no way he could just return openly, with his head held high.

He had to make a name for himself first, or they’d never accept im.

He’d managed to make some money, but in just a few days, it was all gone.

In the end, he still had to go crawling back to the Nicholson famly for cash.

Now, getting back into the Nicholson family was going to be even harder.

“Waverly can’t be allowed to walk away,” Lawrence said coldly.

Martin snapped, “Of course I know that. Killing Waverly is easy, but what about the evidence she’s holding? If she lets it out, none of us will make it out alive.”

Lawrence paused for a few seconds, then said, “Leave it to me. You just focus on your own business. And tell Matthew to hurry up with the gene drug.”

Martin didn’t even bother to reply; he just hung up.

Martin thought, ‘Gene drug? Forget the gene drug, right now, he was just hoping he’d make it out of this alive!

Nina went out together with Vivian and Lily.

When Vivian saw that Nina was about to leave, she frowned and asked, “You’re going out, too?”

Nina gave her a cold glance, put on her helmet, hopped on her motorcycle, and took off without looking back.

Vivian was fuming.

‘That damn girl has never given me any respect at all,’ Vivian thought, seething.

Lily clung to Vivian’s sleeve, her face full of worry. She said, “Mom, do you think Nina knows I’m going to apprentice under Barry today? Is she planning to stir up trouble?”

Vivian’s face darkened. She said, “I don’t think so. If she knew you were going to apprentice under Barry, she’d definitely have asked about it. She didn’t say a word at dinner.”

“I just can’t shake this uneasy feeling,” Lily said.

“Don’t overwork yourself. Take a break and relax,” Vivian said, parting Lily’s back gently. “After Barry’s apprenticeship ceremony, we’ll go to Betrico. I’ll introduce you to some elite families to build your network, so life can be easier later.”

Lily nodded and followed Vivian out the door.

But when they got to the hotel and opened the door to the private room, they couldn’t hide their shock when they saw Nina

inside.

Vivian was the first to react, shrieking, “Nina, why are you here?

Nina lounged back in her chair, a smirk tugging at her lips as she eyed them. She said, “What’s with the stunned faces? Aren’t you going to come over and pay your respects?”

Lily blinked, thrown off. She asked, “Wait, what are you talking about?”

Nina leaned back, saying, “Isn’t this a master-disciple ceremony You think you can just skip the ceremony and call yourself a disciple?”

Lily’s expression flickered, caught between shock and confusion

‘I’m supposed to be apprenticing under Barry, so why is Nina here?’ Lily wondered, her thoughts in a whirl.

Lily took a deep breath to steady herself, then turned to Barry. She said, “Master, you never said my sister would be here tonight.”

Barry took a slow sip of his coffee and replied coolly, “If she’s not here, this whole ceremony is off.”

“What do you mean?” Lily asked, anxiety spiking.

Lily thought, ‘Is Nina here to stop me from becoming Barry’s apprentice?

‘If that’s her goal, why not just tell Barry and cauce
