Chapter 2237
Lawrence looked out of the window, and his gaze became even darker.
Jared was really adept at pulling tricks and maneuvers, while Lawrence had been extremely careful and cautious
with every move he made. And yet, once Jared had shifted the pieces to his favor, the tides turned.
Lawrence even assumed that if he simply allowed Iris to do her job, Jared would only find out about her when he
investigates. But Io and behold, Jared was able to connect the dots, traced it back to Lawrence, and used it as an
opportunity to retaliate.
Lawrence had poured a lot of effort into the project abroad. If he could not solve this issue, he would suffer major
losses. Fortunately for him, he had noticed that something iffy was going on. At present, Lawrence wanted to see if
Jared would continue playing the same card, now that Nicole had been dragged into it.
In the Johnston Group headquarters, Max followed Jared into the office and with a heavy look on his face, he
reported, "Lawrence went and met with Miss Nicole. Could he be scheming something?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, the outcome of the entire plan was about to come to fruition even before the final step had been
executed. Yet, Lawrence could remain calm.
A cool and mocking look flashed across Jared's face, and in smug fashion, he said, "Inform the bank and order
them to control all personal assets under Nicole's name. Every transaction is to be released three days later."
Max could not help but widen his eyes, "What you're trying to say is that Lawrence met up with Miss Nicole to ask
for investment funds?"
'It's obvious that if Lawrence had sought help from Miss Nicole, she would definitely oblige. But how can I explain
this to Miss Nicole? I can't possibly say that Lawrence is at the receiving end of retaliation after he failed to trick Mr.
Johnston,' Max thought.
A streak of light crossed Jared's eyes. "Do you really think he'd be in the mood to catch up with Nicole at such a
time?"
It was just an excuse for him. Lawrence's motive would still be the same.
"If Miss Nicole really did him a favor..." Max's face turned pale, as Jared's plan would definitely be affected.
After all, Jared would not ignore her role in this situation.
Confidently, Jared said, "I won't give her the opportunity to do so."
Although Jared was unsure about how Lawrence had explained his case to Nicole, he knew that she most definitely
would trust Lawrence and aid him. The only thing Jared had to do was to stop Nicole in secret.
"I'll monitor this issue,' Max replied, having understood the seriousness of this issue.
"Alright." Jared nodded.
As long as he could stop Nicole from proceeding, there would not be a chance for Lawrence to yank the rug from
under them. It would also be a lesson for Lawrence.
Then, Max suggested, "Sir, you can actually force Lawrence to leave San Joto and revoke the right of Genesis Group
to remain here."
Max thought that this idea would help to settle everything once and for all. Otherwise, Lawrence might just cause
more messes for Jared to deal with again in the future.
Jared narrowed his eyes. "As long as he does not harm Nicole, nothing else matters."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was only concerned that Nicole might feel sad. As for Lawrence's intention to sway Nicole's heart, he would
never be capable of doing that.
Having understood Jared's intentions right away, Max nodded, "I'll get them to keep their eyes on Lawrence."
As the state of affairs had reached such a point, they could only give Lawrence the easy way out. They hoped that
after Lawrence had suffered from such a loss, he would learn to be smarter.
Lawrence was never a match for Jared. So, it would be best if the former stayed in his lane.
"We must get all the dirt on Iris this time round," Jared ordered with a cold glint in his eyes.
He could tolerate Lawrence because of Nicole. But he would spare Iris any mercy. A traitor like her should never be
granted clemency.
Hearing that, Max replied, "Understood."
Seeing that Jared had no other orders, Max turned around and left to begin his work.
The entire office fell silent thereafter, with Jared's eyes becoming darker still. 'Lawrence really would go to the ends
of the earth for Nicole. But too bad, I will never give him a chance."
Indeed, a secret battle was occurring in the dark, one that Nicole was not aware of.
