Everett, looking at the documents in his hand, was filled with satisfaction.
"Nicole is so smart, yet Ellar, who has been following her around, hasn't learned anything," he snorted
coldly, placing the document on his desk.
"Mr. Wright, now that the bait has been taken, what's our next move?” Jerry asked quietly.
"EIlar signing the contract will start his preparations. Keep an eye on him. Once he's nearly ready, let
our mole escape," Everett instructed.
"Yes," Jerry agreed, then added, "Should we proceed with the other plans?"
Frowning slightly, Everett pondered before saying, "We can start targeting
DillCorp."
That branch was managed by someone Nicole appointed, and any significant issues had to be reported
back to the Riddle Corporation, creating a delay in communication which could work in their favor.
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements," Jerry said before leaving.
Everett leaned back in his chair, legs crossed on the desk, clearly in a good mood. This was the most
pleasant moment he had felt since returning to San Joto. He thought to himself, 'Step by step, I will
reclaim everything and hold it with my own hands...'
At noon, under the scorching sun, Nicole, Lulu, and Patricia left the company for lunch. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
"How's your arm?" Lulu asked Patricia.
"Much better now," Patricia replied, her gaze drifting to the bandage on her arm, seemingly lost in
thought.
Lulu was puzzled, noticing something odd about Patricia's demeanor.
"Are you really okay?" Lulu asked again.
"Yes, I'm fine," Patricia took a deep breath, regaining her usual composure.
Lulu couldn't help but sigh, "You were a workaholic when you arrived, and now, it seems even worse
than before. You don't even take a break when you're injured." "There's a lot going on recently. It'll get
better after this busy period,” Patricia said with a faint smile.
She knew everyone was concerned about her, but being occupied with work was actually better for her.
She couldn't just stay at home alone; her mood would never settle that way.
She admitted she was using work to numb herself, but she had no other choice but to leave everything
to time.
As lunch was served and they were about to start eating, Preston hurried over. "I knew you'd be here
for lunch," Preston said as he sat down and ordered his lunch.
"What's the rush? Is something wrong?" Lulu asked with some worry as she knew Preston wouldn't
come in person unless it was something serious.
"There is something," Preston glanced at Lulu and Patricia before looking at Nicole, "Everett might be
planning to make a move on DillCorp next." "How do you know?" Lulu asked, surprised.
Preston explained, "I managed to track his assistant's computer. There was a plan, but I didn't dare to
stay too long in case he noticed me, so I'm not clear on the details."
He had seen plans regarding DillCorp but had to abort copying the information when Jerry logged in,
fearing detection.
"Could it be like with Ellar?" Lulu frowned, looking at Nicole.
Nicole's expression darkened slightly, "It shouldn't be." "Then what will he do?" Lulu's face fell a bit.
