Chapter 2956

At this moment, it seemed right to let Nolan and Lana relax and get a good night's sleep.

After ensuring they were asleep, Nicole took Lana back to her room and then went

downstairs. Lulu and Tia were still engaged in conversation with Gloria. Seeing Nicole

arrive alone, they understood that Nolan and Lana had already retired for the night.

Nicole casually joined the group on the couch, but her mind was elsewhere. She was

anticipating news from Jared's bodyguards, who had been protecting Nolan and Lana near

the kindergarten and were now pursuing the kidnappers. Nicole was expecting an update

on the situation soon.

Her phone rang shortly after. It was Max.

"Make it quick," Nicole answered.

"The operation went smoothly, but the outcome is still uncertain," Max reported concisely.

"Okay," Nicole acknowledged and hung up, pleased that Max was succinct in his

communication. His brief update was clear to her but vague enough to not arouse Gloria's

concern.

As expected, Gloria, thinking it was work-related, asked Nicole, "Do you need to go out?"

"No, they'll handle it," Nicole replied, dismissing the need for her direct involvement.

"Oh, if you're not going out, you should rest. It's rare for you to be home this early," Gloria

suggested kindly.

Suddenly, Lulu, seizing an opportunity, interjected, "Nicole, I just remembered, there's an

urgent document you need to deal with. Let's go to the study."

"Sure," Nicole agreed, appreciating Lulu's quick thinking.

The two of them headed upstairs.

Tia initially wanted to follow, but realizing it was work- related and not wanting to raise

suspicions, she stayed back. Tia understood that Nicole and Lulu preferred not to discuss

the incident in front of Gloria, so she continued the conversation with her to maintain the

facade.

Lulu and Nicole arrived at the study.

"How did it go? Any news?" Lulu asked, her voice tinged with concern.

She suspected it might be about the call from Max.

"Yes, they caught someone, but we still don't know who's orchestrating this," Nicole

responded.

Max's call had indicated just that, so they had to wait for more information.

Lulu clenched her teeth, "That's good to hear. We'll find out more about the mastermind

later."

They were determined not to let the perpetrator get away with this.

Nicole's expression darkened slightly. She was concerned that the captured kidnappers

might not reveal the truth.

Meanwhile, in Jared's office, Max was briefing Jared, "The men we've apprehended haven't

confessed anything yet. The police are investigating."

"What about Pisces?" Jared inquired sharply, his gaze intense.

"Scorpio trusts him, but Pisces wasn't involved, so there's no direct evidence. Pisces could

identify someone, but that risks blowing his cover," Max explained.

"This setback won't deter him," Jared stated coldly, a hint of resolve in his eyes. 'Scorpio

dares to target Nolan and Lana.

I won't let him off easily.'

He was convinced that after this failure, Scorpio would attempt again, but next time, he

would not let Scorpio escape.

"Mr. Johnston, it's been quiet on Lawrence's side. Is he planning to push Scorpio out first?"

Max speculated, pondering the dynamic between Lawrence and Scorpio.

Despite their alliance, each had their own agenda, and Max believed they would exploit

each other for personal gain.
