My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2796

"I think so," Nicole smiled, knowing that Harvey would find it difficult to face the lesson they were about

to teach him.

"Will there be any issues with Thomas?" Lulu asked, her eyebrows raised in caution.

If Thomas suddenly switched sides at this very important juncture, all of their efforts would be in vain.

"No, he won't," Nicole confidently stated.

She knew full well that Thomas would not have returned if he had any intentions of going back on their

agreement. And since he had returned, it was safe to conclude that he was mentally prepared for the

outcome, and that he would not go back on his words.

"That's good." Lulu nodded, feeling nothing short of reassured.

As long as Thomas remained firm and resolute in his stance, their plan would be secure.

Now leaning on Nicole's desk, Lulu changed the subject and asked, "How is Ellar? I find it surprising

that Patricia isn't here. Did she stay back to take care of him?"

"Yes, Ellar didn't inform his family. All he mentioned to them was he's on a business trip. He'll be

staying in his office for the next few days. Patricia will be there with him, as she's worried about him,"

Nicole candidly blurted.

"It's good that she's taking care of him. You didn't see it, but when Ellar lunged forward and shielded

her from the attack, it was so moving. I even forgot that I was in danger for a moment. I was just so

touched." Lulu shook her head.

It was a situation which could have been lethal, and Ellar's selfless act had left a deep, lasting

impression on her.

Judging from Ellar's bravery, it seemed that he genuinely liked Patricia and was willing to sacrifice

himself for her.

"About them..." Nicole hesitated for a moment. "Let's just allow things to unfold naturally."

As far as Ellar and Patricia were concerned, Nicole felt that it was best for everyone else to allow their

relationship to progress and flourish naturally. She did not want to interfere and alter how the

individuals involved felt about one another. If the two were destined to be together, she would support

their union together.

"Oh, I didn't expect Ellar to like someone like Patricia. He is going to be the type of man who will be

completely submissive to his wife. I thought he'd prefer someone gentler and more dependent." Lulu

raised an eyebrow as she thought of Patricia's cold demeanor, which often made Ellar shrink in a show

of submissiveness.

It was amusing to witness, but also sweet in its own way.

Nicole shrugged without dignifying Lulu's words with a response. She was not keen to consider

whether she agreed or disagreed with that sentiment, as preferences were determined by one's

feelings toward the other person at the

moment, not one's willingness. Once a person caught feelings for another, nothing else mattered apart

from the one they had a crush for.

"By the way, how's the investigation going?" Lulu asked in a solemn change of tone.

"Charlie and Max are looking into it, but there are no results yet." Nicole sighed and apologized. "I'm

sorry that you guys have been dragged into this. I thought you wouldn't be targeted if you didn't know

about any of this. It seems that I've underestimated them."

She believed that keeping Lulu and the others uninformed and uninvolved would protect them and

preclude them from being targeted, but much to their misfortune, their attackers were individuals with

no moral or ethical constraints.

"We're family. We stick together and experience all the ups and downs together. It does not matter

whether you got us into the crossfire or not. If you put it that way, we've also given you our fair share of

problems. If we were as smart and capable as you are, those jerks wouldn't have targeted us either,"

Lulu comforted Nicole.

"Both you and June should be more cautious and take your safety more seriously these days. Always

make sure Spencer and Samuel are there to accompany you," Nicole reminded Lulu, as she did not

want anything to happen to them.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of ourselves," Lulu nodded. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, Nicole would also be left to deal with an even bigger mess if the Eastern Falcon managed to

get their hands on any of Nicole's family members.

Seeing how serious Lulu looked, Nicole began to wonder if she should say something. She knew, deep

down, that it was high time to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Avoiding and skirting around the issue would not be a viable or wise solution at all.

"Well, I'll get back to work then." Lulu turned around and left upon noticing how solemn Nicole looked.

The last thing she wanted was to disturb Nicole any further.

Then Nicole, who remained in her office, narrowed her eyes as the air around her became frosty. In her

mind, there was only one way out - this issue must be dealt with as soon as possible.
