My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2691

"If you're smart enough, you better scram. Do yourself a favor, and keep your mouth shut next time."

After Lawrence had spoken, he turned away, not looking at Everett anymore. Then, he took his phone out.

In response, Everett gulped, gritted his teeth, and skedaddled.

Lawrence snorted after Everett had hightailed it out of his office. If Everett was not useful to him, he would not have kept him around.

Everett returned to his room, and for the next few minutes, he became paranoid. There, he began to wonder if he had bitten off more than he could chew by associating with the likes of Lawrence, who was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Everett had been made to look like a complete fool in front of Lawrence. He had thought he had the upper hand, but at the end of the day, he was nothing.

Filled with fear and dismay, Everett gritted his teeth angrily. 'Why can't I get anything done?'

Meanwhile, Lawrence was in deep thought for a while before he decided to call Ian on the phone.

"Sir." Ian's voice blared out from the speaker.

"Book a flight for me. I'm going back to San Joto tomorrow," he ordered.

It seemed that he needed Nicole to help him with something.

"Understood. I'll work on it now." Ian replied.

Then, Lawrence paused for a moment before adding, "Prepare some gifts for Nolan and Lana too."

"Understood. I'll take care of it." Ian replied. "Anything else?"

"That's all. We'll talk about the rest when I reach San Joto." Lawrence hung up.

The Water Crest could not be left hanging anymore. Since no one could breach the system, he had no choice but to seek Nicole's help. However, Lawrence had to come up with some smoke and mirrors beforehand. It would be best if he could disguise it as something else and hide the truth from Nicole.

Otherwise, Lawrence would lose everything if the Water Crest shared the same recognition system as the Fire Crest.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
