My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2898

"Thank you," Patricia nodded.

She knew Nicole was now privy to their relationship, while Lulu was not. In fact, Lulu had promised her

that she would take care of Charlie because she wanted Patricia to rest easy.

"Oh, don't mention it. Now, go ahead and get some rest," Lulu urged.

Once Patricia had walked off and disappeared into her ward, Lulu sighed. "She's pretty damn stubborn,

isn't she?"

"Lulu, are you sure you can stay back? We still have a few loose ends to tie up," Nicole asked.

"Oh, yeah, sure." Lulu promised. "Go ahead. I'll be here. You don't need to worry about me."

Nicole and Jared nodded and left the building, not in the least worried about Lulu being there with

Charlie and Patricia. She was more than capable of taking care of herself anyway.

After the couple had stepped out of the foyer, they noticed that Max had already arrived, so they got

into the car right away.

"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston?" Max called out. "Things turned out exactly like what Zane had discovered.

They are after the Water Crest."

The results were as Nicole had expected.

"What about Damien?" she asked.

"Damien doesn't know much, and we've already handed him to the cops. About the homemade

explosive, our enemies have shifted all the blame to Damien as well. He's likely in dire straits this time,"

Max informed, sounding as though he was delighting in Damien's suffering.

For all the evils Damien had perpetrated, he deserved every bit of what was coming to him.

"What about the Eastern Falcon operatives who were captured?" Jared asked.

"Zane got the documents. Those men would soon be extradited. We've gathered enough information

on our side. Vaio and Scorpio, who we've just captured, were deployed by the Eastern Falcon for

reconnaissance purposes. Damien was their informant," Max reported.

"Just get the information we need and leave the rest to Zane, " Nicole said.

For a case of such scale, the Interpol would likely be out scouring for information. However, Nicole had

no intention of getting involved with them, at least not anymore. All they needed to do was cooperate

with Interpol as necessary.

"Understood." Max nodded. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

All of a sudden, Jared asked, "What about the remnants of the Eastern Falcon's chapter in San Joto?"

"They've talked about it, but only briefly. Well, I don't think they've told us the entire story," Max said

solemnly.

Nicole sighed and nodded in understanding. "That's expected. Once their flame of ambition has been

ignited, they will likely not let us know what they are capable of."

"Now that Scorpio has been captured, I don't know who else they'll deploy," Max said, his voice tinged

with concern.

They would likely encounter more problems down the line if the Eastern Falcon decided to send one of

their more capable, higher-ranked operatives to deal with Nicole.

As that realization dawned upon Nicole, her eyes widened." Let Scorpio escape."

"You mean..." Max trailed off, before he came to understand what Nicole was up to.

By letting Scorpio escape, they could continue to watch his every move. This would be more ideal

keeping him detained, causing the Eastern Falcon to deploy one of their more formidable agents after

them.

"Yes,” Nicole nodded, knowing Max had understood her intentions.

"Contact Zane. Ask him to assign someone trustworthy to tail Scorpio," Jared ordered.

"I got it," Max replied.

Jared's intention was to have Zane plant a spy in the Eastern Falcon to infiltrate their ranks, which

would make it easier

for them to gather intel on what their enemies were up to.

As for Vaio, Zane would extradite him, so there was no need for Nicole or Jared to worry about him.

"Their target is none other than Water Crest, after all," Nicole said, her voice heavy and cold.

With Damien's capture ensured, Everett would not be able to do anything now, even if he had

intentions of furthering his plan. Moreover, the more heated the situation became, the less likely it

would be for him to reveal himself.

As Nicole's eyes narrowed in contemplation, a sudden, fleeting thought occurred to her.

Then, she looked at Max and ordered, "Get someone to keep an eye on Lawrence."
