Chapter 2534
"Everything is fine," Nicole replied. "What about you? Did everything go smoothly during your trip?"
Lawrence smiled and replied, "Yes, everything went smoothly."
"That's good," Nicole nodded with apparent indifference, as if she was just casually asking.
"How were Nolan and Lana doing after I left?" Lawrence asked, searching for a topic about which they could
discuss, feeling that Nicole's attitude was somewhat strange.
"They are both doing well. I took them out over the weekend, " Nicole looked at Lawrence and said. "You've just
returned, so you should get some rest."
She was dealing with a cocktail of mixed feelings, and she did not want to engage with Lawrence any further at the
moment. She needed some time alone to collect her thoughts.
Momentarily stunned, Lawrence gathered himself before responding, "Alright, I'll head back now."

Nicole sighed quietly, her eyes revealing a hint of weariness. She could not understand why Lawrence, who had
once saved her, was now against her. She could not grasp what had happened to him.
After Lawrence left, Nicole's calm demeanor turned somber.
Outside the DillCorp building, Ian approached Lawrence and asked, Mr. Lawrence, how did it go?"
Lawrence's eyes narrowed as he replied coldly, "Find out what happened in San Joto while I was away these past
few days."
"Yes,” Ian immediately agreed, realizing that something was amiss.
When they had gotten into the car, Ian made a phone call to get someone to investigate the recent events in the
capital before driving away slowly.
"Mr. Lawrence, did something happen to Miss Nicole?" Ian inquired.
To him, only Miss Nicole's affairs were able to affect Lawrence's emotions.
"Something must have happened; I can sense that her emotions and attitude are off,” Lawrence said in a low voice,
seemingly talking to himself.
Ian hesitated for a moment and fell silent. He knew this was not the right time to disturb Lawrence.
They would have to wait for the investigation results.
Perhaps once the results were out, they would understand what had gone wrong.
Lawrence leaned back in his seat, gazing out of the car window as he pondered. From the moment of his departure
to his return, it seemed like he had not left any clues that could link him to Everett. It was unlikely that Nicole had
discovered his involvement in Everett's disappearance.
After a moment of consideration, Lawrence concluded that something must have happened to Nicole, an event that
had nothing to do with him.
He could not let anyone know about his dealings with Everett for now, at least not until he had the upper hand.
Otherwise, both he and Everett would be left in a tough spot.

focused on her tasks instead.
Unbeknownst to her, it was already lunchtime.
All of a sudden, someone knocked on her office door, and Nicole, assuming it was her secretary delivering lunch,
casually said, "Come in."
"Aren't you supposed to be having lunch?" Jared's voice blared out, prompting Nicole to look up in surprise. "Why
are you here?!"
"I was passing by, and it just so happens to be lunch hour, so I came up to have lunch with you," Jared said as he
walked over with a lunchbox in his hand.
At that point, Nicole stopped working and sauntered over to the couch.
After taking a seat, Jared opened the lunch box, and the office was immediately filled with an aromatic scent.
Nicole could not help but smile when she saw that those were none other than her favorite dishes. "Smells
amazing."
