My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 3227

Jared's lips curved slightly, and he gently kissed Nicole's forehead, saying," Let's rest early tonight; we might receive good news first thing tomorrow." "Hopefully." Nicole replied with a playful smile, pulling Jared toward the bed.

The next day dawned bright and sunny.

After breakfast, Nicole and Jared dropped off Nolan and Lana and then headed to Riddle Corporation.

Getting out of the car, Nicole gave Jared a smile and said, "I'm heading up." "Alright," Jared nodded slightly, "I'll come to pick you up after work."

Watching Jared's car drive away, Nicole turned and entered the company building.

Inside the car, Max spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Johnston, there's still no news from Zane's end. Could it have failed?" "Let's wait a bit longer." Even if it was a failure, they should have received some sort of update from Zane.

"I wonder if something happened," Max muttered quietly.

As they were speaking, Jared's phone rang.

After seeing the caller ID, Jared answered, "How did it go?" "It's a success. Sambawe has agreed to cooperate with US, seeking redemption for his crimes," Zane's voice came through.

Jared understood; it seemed they had managed to rescue the person smoothly. Zane hadn't contacted them earlier probably because he was yet to persuade Sambawe.

I'll proceed with the plan as intended," Jared said, his gaze intensifying.

"Alright, my people will coordinate with yours," Zane responded.

After hanging up, Jared's eyes narrowed slightly, and he commanded Max with a chilled tone, "We can move now." "Yes," Max responded respectfully.

Meanwhile, at Riddle Corporation, in Nicole's office.

Nicole received Jared's message and her lips curled into a slight, icy smile upon reading it.

"Everett, you can't escape this time," she said, her cold gaze filled with determination.

"What?" Lulu, who came in to deliver some documents, caught the tail end of Nicole's comment.

Waving her phone, Nicole replied, "Zane was successful." "That means we can proceed!" Lulu's voice was tinged with excitement.

"Yes, the operation begins now." While she wasn't fully aware of Jared's plan, she trusted that it was flawless.

"Has Doretta secured the evidence then?" Lulu pondered aloud.

"I assume so; otherwise, we probably wouldn't be moving forward just yet," Nicole said, her expression turning serious. She believed everything was proceeding smoothly. "But will Doretta be safe?" Lulu furrowed her brows in concern.

Understanding Lulu's worry, Nicole took a deep breath and reassured, "I think if there were any emergencies, Doretta would be able to protect herself."

Lulu clasped her hands together in a silent prayer, "Let's hope everything goes smoothly. It has to."
