Nicole looked at Nolan and said, “You and Lana can rest at home for a couple of days, then go back to school as usual. There
wont be any more trouble.”
Nolan raised his head, frowning. “Or, we don’t take a break. This might make them even angrier, and they would act
desperately.”
“What?” Nicole was momentarily taken aback.
“They failed this time, and Lana and I are unharmed. They might be more aggressive next time. We could set a trap to catch
them,” Nolan explained.
Nicole rubbed Nolan’s head. “Don’t worry about these things. Your dad and I will handle it.”
Nolan raised an eyebrow slightly. “So, you already have a plan to deal with them?”
“We’re waiting for news,” Nicole replied, not revealing too much but still sharing some information with Nolan.
“Okay,” Nolan nodded, reassured by the plan.
“Alright, don’t stay up too late. You should get some rest,” Nicole said, noticing Nolan had finished one task and was about to
start another.
Nolan hesitated before agreeing, “Okay.”
Nicole patted his head. “Go take a shower.”
Watching Nolan head to the bathroom, Jared left the room with Lana, returning to her room.
After the children were asleep, Nicole and Jared went back to their room.
“How is it?” Nicole asked Jared softly.
Jared shook his head. “We got nothing.”
Nicole, surprised, raised her eyebrows. “They refused to give away the name?”
“They only admitted to knowing Nolan and Lana’s identities and wanting to kidnap them for ransom.” Jared’s expression
darkened.
He had not expected those kidnappers would go this far to take the blame for Scorpio. He wondered what Scorpio had promised
them.
‘Scorpio hasn’t fully trusted Pisces yet, so Pisces couldn’t obtain any specific information before the kidnapping incident
occurred.’ Pisces had alerted Jared about Scorpio’s potential moves but couldn’t provide exact details on the plan. Fortunately,
Jared had made preparations in advance, averting any serious incidents this time.
Looking at Jared, Nicole’s eyes narrowed slightly.” Something on your mind?”
Jared shook his head. “Not really. I think Scorpio might not completely trust Pisces.”
“You’ve got a point. Even though Pisces is providing shelter for Scorpio, it’s still hard for him to gain Scorpio’s trust.
Scorpio is alone now, and even though he’s teamed up with Lawrence, they both have their own motives,” Nicole replied, her
face reflecting her serious tone.
Jared spoke meaningfully, “Or maybe he won’t be alone for long.”
“Hmm?” Nicole raised an eyebrow. “Do you mean to say that Eastern Falcon will send more people over?”
“Clearly,” Jared nodded. “He needs some reliable comrades here.”
Nicole squinted slightly and asked in a serious tone, “Does that mean Pisces might be in danger?”
“Not for now. He still needs Pisces,” Jared reassured her.
“As long as he doesn’t suspect Pisces, then Pisces is safe and can continue his mission,” Nicole said.
“Don’t worry, Zane will make arrangements,” Jared comforted Nicole, gently squeezing her hand. “It’s late, let’s get some rest.”
“Okay,” Nicole agreed, lying down beside Jared, and they both fell asleep.
The next day dawned bright and sunny.
After breakfast, everyone went about their busy schedules.
Nolan and Lana didn’t go to kindergarten, so Daniel and Gloria took them to visit Benjamin.
Jared drove Nicole to Riddle Corporation. On the way, Nicole received a phone call. Her eyes narrowed slightly,” Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’ll be there shortly,” Nicole said before hanging up.
Jared looked at her. “What’s the matter?”
