My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2721

Nicole sat there in silence as she pondered to herself, 'If Everett is coming back and Lawrence is already here...I wonder...were the both of them hiding abroad together and are now coming back one by one here to crack the code for the Water Crest?

'But if cracking the code for the Water Crest is a piece of cake, why did it take Lawrence this much time?' she wondered. 'But if the Water Crest isn't the reason, what could have gotten Everett to come back so hastily?'

Three days later, time passed in a blink of an eye, and Damien was still keeping his whereabouts under wraps. He had only kept his chef around, and had made no movements that could rouse the suspicion of those who were watching him.

Patricia furrowed her brows, as worry glinted in her eyes. "He isn't plotting some kind of grand revenge plan at home, is he?"

Nicole nodded. "It's a possibility we can't rule out so easily."

'Something must be terribly wrong. How can he be so silent and subdued?' Nicole wondered.

"We couldn't find anything suspicious, no matter how hard we searched. What on earth could he possibly be scheming? This feels very sinister," Patricia said.

Benjamin Riddle had suspected that Damien could be waiting for Everett. However, not a single sign showed that Everett had returned to San Joto or contacted Damien.

Nicole narrowed her eyes. 'If my guess is right, Everett will not be coming back here anytime soon, but then again, I might be wrong. Perhaps Damien didn't tell Everett about what happened to Chloe. But then again, Chloe's case hasn't been cleared off entirely by the police, so there's no way that Everett could've contacted Chloe.'

'I find it very suspicious that Everett is being so quiet about this. Were they already prepared in the event that something like this happened to Chloe? Nah, these things don't add up,' she thought.

Nicole bit her lip as she looked over at Patricia. "Since nothing is happening, let's just continue to keep an eye on them."

Nicole waved it off, as she had more pressing matters; tasks which she could not afford to delay over the petty issue at hand.

"Yes, Ms. Riddle," Patricia agreed, and left the office.

Nicole picked the files on her desk up after Patricia was gone and quickly got to work.

However, it was not long before a knock on her door disrupted her flow. "Come in."
