Chapter 3285

"Yes, our part here is finished," Patricia said, her expression turning somber.

She knew their business in San Joto was concluded, but Lawrence had cunningly fled San Joto before everything was fully settled, even taking Nicole with him.

"What about Nicole?" Lulu asked with a hint of tension, not knowing Nicole had run into trouble. She observed Patricia's demeanor, suspecting Patricia knew something.

Patricia's face paled slightly. She hesitated before responding, "Ms. Riddle might not return for a few days."

These were just her guesses; she wasn't sure of the specifics. If things had gone smoothly here, she hoped Jared and Nicole's situation would also be positive.

Seeing Patricia's reluctance to share more about Nicole's situation, Lulu frowned. "How many days are we talking about?" She wanted to know whether it would be three days, five, or seven.

It seemed Patricia wasn't certain either.

Patricia sighed. "I really don't know how long it'll take. It depends on whether things go smoothly or not." "Is Nicole in danger then?" Lulu couldn't help but worry.

"There shouldn't be any immediate danger," Patricia said, biting her lip. She at least hadn't heard any news about Nicole being in danger.

Lulu's face turned pale instantly. "Immediate danger! Does that mean she might still be in danger?"

She had suspected something urgent had happened when Nicole suddenly left San Joto, even Jared had left, and she couldn't contact Nicole at all. She could only occasionally get some news from Charlie through Patricia, but it wasn't always possible to get information.

"With Mr. Johnston there, Ms. Riddle should be safe," Patricia said, unsure if she was comforting Lulu or herself.

"That damned Lawrence," Lulu clenched her teeth in anger. She thought that if it weren't Lawrence, Nicole wouldn't have been put in danger.

"I believe it won't be long before we see results. Mr. Johnston and Ms. Riddle will definitely return safely," Patricia said meaningfully, emphasizing the need to keep believing.

"You should keep in touch with your brother frequently to stay updated on Nicole's situation," Lulu sighed, knowing she could only rest easy once she was assured of Nicole's safety.

"I'll do my best," Patricia promised, aware that Charlie might not always reply promptly and worried that messaging too often might interfere with their operations.

Lulu looked at Patricia, her worry deepening.

Now that things in San Joto had been successfully wrapped up, she fervently hoped that Nicole and Jared would conclude their matters smoothly and return safely.

In the hotel in Mecrounia, Charlie knocked before entering Jared's room.

"Mr. Johnston, Lawrence's company has declared bankruptcy, and all his people in San Joto have evacuated. It seems he's ready to cut ties with San Joto completely," Charlie reported.

"Mm," Jared responded coolly, aware that it was about time for Lawrence's company to declare bankruptcy given how long he had held out.

"Mr. Johnston, we're stepping up our efforts, and it seems Lawrence is reacting," Charlie said with a slight heaviness in his voice. "Is Mrs.

Johnston prepared?" He believed that as long as Nicole was ready, they could act at any moment.

"Wait a bit longer; she's likely trying to replace a way into Lawrence's base," Jared said. The moment Nicole entered the base would signal the start of their action.

After a moment of thought, Charlie asked, "Do we have enough people to successfully complete the mission?" He was concerned that targeting Lawrence's stronghold might be overly ambitious given their limited manpower.
