Chapter 2601

Lawrence took a seat in a corner as he waited for the banquet to end. On the other side of the hall, Jared sat with

Maximillian as they watched the bride and groom happily chatting with their guests.

Jared and Nicole led the twins to sit at their seats.

Lawrence stared at them, not touching his drink or food. He sat there solemnly.

Nicole could feel his gaze on them. She leaned over and whispered to Jared, "I'm gonna head over to the balcony

for a breather."

"Need me to accompany you?" asked Jared in a low voice.

Nicole shook her head. "No need. If you come, he might not approach me."

Jared nodded in agreement, understanding what Nicole is trying to do. He glanced at Patricia.

The lady, who was sitting at another table, immediately locked eyes with Jared and understood. She stepped

outside and stood where the balcony was in sight.

Expectedly, Lawrence walked to the balcony and handed Nicole a glass of red wine. "Were you waiting for me to

join you?"

Nicole accepted the wine glass and held it without sipping. Instead, she looked Lawrence in the eye. "You've been

waiting for this opportunity, haven't you?"

"Smart girl," said Lawrence, sipping from his glass and smirking. 'She hasn't changed one bit. Nothing gets past

her.'

"If I told you, it was an accident, would you buy it?' he said. Then, he shrugged. "But of course, the Fire Crest would

naturally recognize its owner."

Nicole looked into Lawrence's calm eyes. 'Does he have nothing to explain?'

Lawrence avoided Nicole's eyes. He broke the awkward silence. "If you don't recover your memory and with this in

your possession, it's going to be a threat to you."

Nicole shrugged nonchalantly. "You seem to be quite confident that I won't recover my memory."

"Of course not, but sometimes these things cant be forced. You seem to have a hard time trying to remember your

past, " said Lawrence steadily.

Never could he have thought that Nicole could recover her memory and reobtain the Fire Crest.

"So, now you're saying that the Fire Crest is hazardous to me?" asked Nicole, raising an eyebrow at him and

shooting him a skeptical look.

"I don't want to admit this but you're back home with your family. So naturally, I have to support you in getting back

the Fire Crest."

"Support me?" Nicole echoed, her eyes widening. 'He wanted to use me for the Fire Crest when I first lost my

memory. He didn't even tell me about the Fire Crest at all! I would've agreed to everything he'd ask but yet, he

chose to keep this a secret from me.'

"Yes. Now that you've gotten back the Fire Crest, I'm more than happy for you," said Lawrence. His fake smile did

not quite reach his eyes, but it was enough to portray he was really happy for Nicole.

"Thank you for your kind wishes. I can't help but think in the past, I've promised to help you crack the code as a

token of gratitude for saving my life. However, I'm afraid I can't do that now."

Lawrence shook his head. "It had never once crossed my mind that I'd want you to repay me. Let's just call it even."

Nicole was confused. "Even?"

"I saved you and you wanted to repay me, that’s one thing. I lied to you about it and you didn't get angry but

instead forgave me. I think we can call it even," Lawrence explained.

Nicole narrowed her eyes. She could not distinguish between the Lawrence that she had known and the man who

was standing before her at that moment.
