My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2794

"But how did Everett get into contact with the Eastern Falcon?" Max asked, puzzled.

Everett used to be an ordinary, average Joe who would not stand out from a crowd even if he tried, so

it was a wonder as to how he had become so formidable. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Obtaining the Water Crest, making deals with Lawrence, and conspiring with the elusive Eastern

Falcon were just a list of things he had done. It was now anyone's guess as to what else Everett had

up his sleeves.

"Perhaps we've underestimated him from the very beginning. " Nicole's eyes darkened.

Initially, everyone was of the opinion that Everett was not particularly well-regarded, even in Damien's

family, but they had forgotten that the more inconspicuous someone seemed, the more likely they were

to harbor something sinister.

They should have already noticed how cunning Everett was when he went out of his way to plot against

their grandfather, Benjamin. However, they had overlooked how wicked of a person he truly was

because his disposition indicated nothing out of the ordinary.

"If Everett is indeed conspiring with Eastern Falcon, he might go big," Max remarked with concern.

The fact that Everett was working with Lawrence had already put them on guard, and at this juncture,

they could only wonder what else Everett might do after he joined forces with the mysterious Eastern

Falcon organization.

"Don't worry, he won't make a move for the time being. We just need to be prepared in advance."

Nicole narrowed her eyes.

'Even if Everett is intent on taking us down, he can't afford to act out of impulse for now. He still needs

to wait for the right moment,' she thought.

Jared then turned to Max and ordered, "Send a message to Zane and tell him to investigate how

Everett managed to contact Eastern Falcon. Find out what transactions and shared interests are

involved."

"Yes," Max respectfully replied.

Indeed, the organization would not have worked with Everett if he did not bring something significant to

the table.

In the meantime, Nicole leaned back against her seat and furrowed her brows, seemingly

contemplating something.

"What are you thinking?" Jared asked in a soft voice.

"I think our time is running out, so we should finish what he has started as soon as possible." Nicole

sounded determined.

"You're talking about Harvey," Jared added, knowing what Nicole was thinking about.

Nicole looked up at Jared and smiled. "Yes, him."

In Harvey's case, it would be better for Nicole to take care of him sooner than later. Being the petulant

child he was, there was no need for her to waste her time and energy putting up with his antics

anymore. Besides, she did not wish to deal with him any longer.

Fortunately, Lulu was almost done preparing. All they had to do was wait for Thomas to complete the

plan.

"When will Thomas arrive?" Jared asked in a low voice.

"Tomorrow," Nicole replied, before realizing that Jared seemed to be privy to what she was doing.

"Okay. How is it that you've found out about this too?" Her eyes widened in shock.

Holding her hand, Jared went on to whisper, "It's not difficult to guess, and Lulu wasn't too subtle about

what she was doing either."

Only Harvey, who thought he had the upper hand, had noticed nothing at all.

Upon hearing that, Nicole could only shrug. "Maybe Harvey thinks it's not him who has fallen into Lulu's

trap. If anything, it's the other way around."

"Maybe." Jared smirked, his smile betraying the coldness and contempt he had for Harvey.

Soon, a new day arrived, marking Thomas' return to the country.

As soon as he had walked out of the airport terminal, he saw that Nicole was already there waiting for

him.

"I'm glad I saved you back then." He smiled.

Little did he know that the girl he rescued years ago had become the most important person in his life,

and the only one he could rely on at this moment.
