My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2904

On an unknown island somewhere abroad, and within a mansion by the beach, Everett's face turned

ashen and pale upon receiving the news about everything that had happened in San Joto.

"How did he get himself busted? Aren't you all supposed to be competent enough to do your jobs? Why

the hell did you fail?" Everett bellowed, his fury reaching its peak.

"Slow down there. I haven't gotten to the part where you were to blame. His greed was what got us all

into this predicament in the first place, and you know what's the cherry on top? He got Vaio busted.

Fortunately, Scorpio managed to escape. Otherwise, all of my men would have perished in San Joto," a

man in a black half-mask retorted.

"He just wanted to eliminate Nicole, which would have benefited you too. Now you're trying to pin all

the blame on him? It's not like you weren't going to do the same!" Everett shot back, his teeth gritted in

indignance.

To Everett, those men had clearly failed to use their brains while they were on the mission. He was

furious as they had resorted to blaming his father now that everything had gone sideways on account

of their own mistakes.

"If I've really decided to pin the blame on him, do you think you would still be here spouting baseless

accusations at us? " the man in the mask asked, his voice a cold, terrifying bass.

"You were the ones coveting the Water Crest." Everett snorted, mocking the masked man.

Deep down, however, his arrogance and false bravado was beginning to shrink.

The masked man then turned to glare at Everett, his eyes reeking of displeasure. "That's it. What's

done is done. Let's think about how we should proceed."

"You must rescue him. He's been in San Joto for such a long time gathering information about the Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Water Crest for you. If he gets thrown in the slammer, my department's efforts would all go to waste!"

Everett barked.

"Why didn't you say that earlier?" The masked man complained.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have allowed Scorpio to proceed with the plan that had

gotten them busted.

'We are still free to eliminate Nicole at anytime, but there has been zero progress in regard to the Water

Crest.

Perhaps Damien possesses some truly important clues about Water Crest,' the masked man thought.

A sardonic smile appeared on Everett's lips. "Why should I? Should I tell you that so that you could

work with Lawrence and leave me in the dirt?"

'Don't you dare think I'm clueless about your sneaky little plan. We're allies on the surface, but you can't

say you aren't looking for other options. That was why you contacted

Lawrence. Well, that hasn't escaped my notice,' Everett thought.

The masked man maintained his silence, exuding a frosty presence which made the air around him all

the more oppressive and suffocating.

Unable to stomach the man's frightening presence any longer, Everett gritted his teeth and softened his

tone." Okay. If you don't trust me, we can part ways peacefully."

The person standing before him was indeed not one he should ever trifle with. Everett had been right to

be on guard against him from the very beginning.

"There's no need to rush this. After all, you have nowhere else to go now," the masked man replied, his

tone calm and composed, making it hard to discern his true emotions.

Hearing that, Everett became even more cautious. "You should start by finding ways to contact my

father. Extract all the information he has. After all..."

Pausing for a minute, Everett continued, "If Lawrence really is capable of getting the crest on his own,

there would have been news of it by now."

Everett had initially cooperated with Lawrence, but as the results were somewhat disappointing, he had

decided to switch sides and work with the masked man instead.

Moreover, Everett had never intended to give up any prospects of obtaining the Water Crest. While he

had intentionally leaked information about the Water Crest, he was actually looking to snag it once all

parties were weakened.

Lawrence and the masked man were individuals he had to constantly watch his back around. Everett

would be shredded to pieces if he only cooperated with either of them. But now that both parties were

involved, Everett would have the chance to dive in once they had done all the dirty work and snatch the

crest for himself.

The man in the black mask then gave Everett another frosty glare. "Put your little schemes to rest if you

will."

Everett shrugged, seemingly indifferent to the man's threats. Such warnings were almost meaningless

to him at this rate. After all, there would be no need for more warnings if the man could truly afford to

dispose of him.

"Hmm," The masked man turned around and left.

Everett breathed a sigh of relief once the man was gone. He knew he had to be on high alert very time

he encountered this man.

Lawrence was dead-inspiring, but the man he had just spoken to was even more frightening. The only

saving grace was that Everett knew their threats would remain empty as long as he had something of

value to offer them in return. In fact, their might was what made them ideal allies in the first place.

After the masked man had left, Everett turned to his henchmen and ordered, "Keep an eye on him."
