My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2895

Dawn arrived eight hours later, with the sun showing its first blossom at seven. After breakfast, Nicole

and Jared got into their car and made their way to Riddle Corporation.

However, Lulu was not the only one waiting for Nicole today, as Spencer, Samuel, and June were there

as well.

"Have you heard from your men?" they anxiously asked upon spotting the couple.

"Charlie and Patricia are not back yet," Nicole replied. "Let's wait for them in my office." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Alright." They nodded in agreement, after which they entered Nicole's office together.

After sitting down, Lulu gritted her teeth and asked, "Why have we not received any news from them?

Are they in trouble?"

'No way," Nicole shook her head.

If something had occurred while they were on their mission, they would have gotten wind of it by now.

"Let's wait a moment," June advised in an attempt to calm Lulu down.

Though everyone was worried sick, there was little they could do but wait for word to return to them.

The ones whose lives were at stake here were Charlie and Patricia, who were still out there, leading

the fight. All they could do now was put their faith in the duo and trust that they would return bearing

news.

All of a sudden, a series of knocks were heard at the door.

The instant she heard them, Nicole ordered. "Come in."

The door swung open, revealing Max, who walked in and greeted them. "Mr. and Mrs. Johnston. I hope

all is well."

"You're back," Jared said. "Was the operation smooth?"

Nicole was a little shocked by Max's sudden appearance, but judging by the look on Jared's face, he

had already known about his return.

"Yes, it was. Everything has been settled," Max said, approaching the couch before handing a file to

Nicole. "This is for you, Mrs. Johnston. Zane asked me to send this to you.

Surprised, Nicole grabbed the file, and upon reading its contents, she looked up, gritted her teeth, and

sighed.

"I knew it," Nicole said, handing the file to Jared.

Jared took the file from her, looked at her, and asked, "Is it about the Water Crest?"

"Yes." Nicole nodded. "You called it."

"The Eastern Falcon had withdrawn from society for years following the failure of their last mission. For

them to take on a new mission requires more than a simple monetary reward. Everett must have

ignited their ambitions with a grand promise of some sort," Jared theorized.

In that same line of thought, the Water Crest was undoubtedly something that could do the job, as it

represented guaranteed prospects of extreme wealth and unchallenged power.

"Let's not forget about Lawrence. They have contacted Lawrence too. Perhaps they were looking for

confirmation," Nicole said, her gaze icy and dark.

However, the question as to whether Lawrence and the Eastern Falcon had arrived at some kind of

agreement was still something they could not answer.

"Mr. Johnston. Are there still no updates from Charlie and Patricia?" Max asked.

At present, Johnston Group's project abroad had been secured, and Zane's investigation had yielded

solid evidence regarding their enemies' motives. The only thing left for them to do was capture Damien

and the men that the Eastern Falcon had deployed in San Joto.

It was obvious that the individual who had escorted Damien away was an important contact attached to

the Eastern Falcon in their San Joto chapter. Thus, it was possible that capturing him would eliminate

what little influence the Eastern Falcon had left in San Joto.

"They're not back yet, and we've not received any sort of news from them thus far," Nicole replied. 'Why

aren't there any updates yet?'

Meanwhile, Patricia was carrying a bloodied Charlie on her shoulder as they hurried down the

mountain pass.

"Head in there!" Patricia yelled in a panic.

Concurrently, there were also a group of people at the base of the mountain screaming up at them.

"Come on, Cap!

Hurry up and get into the car!"

Patricia looked down, and that was when she spotted one of her men inserting his key into the ignition

box. Gritting her teeth, she hastened her advance and hoisted Charlie into the car.

"Step on it!" Patricia urged.

Then, the engine roared to life, the rear wheels of the car kicking up bits of mud as they sped off into

the distance.
