Chapter 2978

Nicole paused briefly, weighing her words. "Yes, and I’m going to ensure the news of my presence at

the event is openly circulated."

It seemed wiser not to conceal her schedule, as transparency might provoke a reaction from the

opposing party.

Max's comprehension dawned, his complexion turning a shade paler. "Mrs. Johnston, are you really

planning to use yourself as bait?"

It was evident that exposing Nicole's itinerary now would certainly draw the attention of those figures

lurking in the dark.

Nicole nodded affirmatively. "Since I'm their target, let them focus on me. It'll keep others out of harm's

way."

Considering their reluctance to confront her in San Joto, she saw an opportunity to draw them out.

"But isn't that exceedingly risky?" Max's worry was palpable.

Nicole looked toward Jared, her lips curving into a smile." You wouldn't let anything happen to me,

right?"

"I'll be by your side," Jared stated, his tone solid and resolute.

Nicole's expression showed a momentary frown, then she acquiesced with a nod. "Okay."

"When are you planning to depart, Mrs. Johnston?" Max inquired.

After a moment's thought, Nicole replied, "I'll have Lulu arrange the tickets. There are still a few matters

I need to address."

She couldn't pinpoint the exact time of departure yet, but left it in Lulu's capable hands.

Finishing her thoughts, Nicole caught Jared's gaze and promptly flashed a smile, amending, "Us."

Nicole briefly glanced at Jared, catching his softened gaze. She playfully stuck out her tongue when his

attention diverted. He's really taking this too seriously,' she mused. It wasn’t that she wanted to exclude

him; she fully intended to honor their agreement.

Arriving at Riddle Corporation, Nicole exited the car and made her way inside.

Jared's expression shifted as he watched her enter, the warmth in his eyes giving way to a more

serious demeanor." Let Charlie organize a team to go ahead. The rest will stay back," he ordered, his

voice deep and authoritative.

Max, taken aback and filled with worry, grasped Jared's intent to accompany Nicole. However, he

couldn't help but wonder if it was wise for them to go without additional security until they reached their

destination.

"The trip should be secure, and arrangements will be in

place there," Jared reassured Max. "I need you here to oversee things."

Max, understanding Jared's strategy, nodded. "You're saying they might still act, even with your

departure."

"Possibly," Jared acknowledged, implying there were deeper plans at play.

Realizing his role in the larger scheme, Max accepted his duty. "Understood, sir. We'll ensure Scorpio

pays this time."

The situation was intricate. Lawrence's cooperation with Scorpio appeared superficial, more a

maneuver for his own agenda.

Max internally resolved, 'With the Johnstons away, they're likely to make a move. We need to be

vigilant here.'

Meanwhile, Nicole settled into her office. Moments later, Lulu entered with several documents.

"Nicole," Lulu began, laying the papers on the desk, "take a look to see if anything here need

adjusting?"
