Chapter 2990
"Understood," Max replied, aware that Jared and Nicole's situation was also nearing resolution.
Jared hung up the phone and looked toward Nicole.
"Max's operation was a success," Nicole said, having a good idea of what it entailed.
"Yes, Scorpio and his men have been captured," Jared confirmed.
A cold smile touched Nicole's lips, "They never expected to be caught themselves while plotting to
capture me."
Earlier, Max had reported, and Pisces had informed them that Scorpio planned to gather his men
tonight. They aimed to strike at Nicole and Jared at the airport when they returned.
It was indeed a golden opportunity, as Nicole and Jared would be vulnerable at the airport. An attack
there would leave them isolated and in danger.

"Let's discuss other matters when we return. We need to quickly resolve our current situation," Jared
said, his eyes reflecting a sense of urgency.
Indeed, the news of Scorpio's capture wouldn't remain hidden for long. The Eastern Falcon would soon
find out.
They had to use this limited time to resolve the situation here, or risk further complications.
"Tomorrow," Nicole said. "I'll let him stick the tracker on me. Let's sync up with Adolph."
"Got it," Jared nodded, his hand squeezing Nicole's lightly.
The following day was sunny and cheerful.
Nicole inquired with a server during breakfast about popular tourist spots and managed to secure a
guide named Paige, who was one of Adolph's team members.
Ready for the day, Nicole and Paige hit the road.
In the taxi, Nicole smirked as she produced the 'little button' from her pocket.
As they left, Nicole felt a slight bump from someone. It wasn't intentional on her part. While it wasn't the
same guy as before, she was pretty sure he belonged to the Eastern Falcon.
Turns out, the mysterious stranger had slipped the 'button' into Nicole's pocket.
"Mrs. Johnston, they're tailing us," Paige whispered quietly.
Nicole nodded, glancing at the rearview mirror. No cause for concern; everything was unfolding
according to the plan.
Upon reaching their destination, Nicole and Paige hopped out of the car.
"Mrs. Johnston, how about we explore that spot over there?"
Paige suggested, nodding toward a nearby attraction. She checked behind them, confirming that the
shadow was still on their tail.

"Let's find a quieter spot," Nicole suggested in a hushed tone, realizing it would make it simpler for their
pursuers to make a move there.
"Got it," Paige replied, taking on the role of a tour guide and guiding Nicole to a more peaceful area.
The surroundings turned quieter and more secluded, with hardly a soul in sight.
"Mrs. Johnston, they're closing in," Paige whispered.
Sensing their approach, Nicole gave Paige a meaningful look. "Be careful, and don't get hurt."
"Please, no need to worry about me," Paige reassured. She then gestured toward a bench up ahead.
"We've walked quite a bit. Let's take a break over there."
Nicole agreed, genuinely feeling fatigued. They settled on the bench, and Paige handed Nicole a water
bottle. "Here, take a sip."
Pretending to drink, Nicole kept an eye on the approaching figures. They were drawing dangerously
near, impossible not to notice.
