Chapter 3171Chapter 3171
Lulu thought, 'Who would have thought he had such people on his side? If it's really a group, that would
be terrifying.'
Nicole smiled slightly, maintaining her composure. "Our people are not weak either."
Patricia was in the open while that person was hidden, which naturally made it easier for them to take
action. But don't forget, she also had her own people in the shadows.
novelbinLulu furrowed her brows. "Do you think Everett could already know about Zane's people in San Joto?"
Several people were mysteriously captured, and Everett didn't say anything, probably guessing
something.
"Maybe he didn't know at first, but by now he should have guessed," Nicole responded. However, these
details were not important. If Zane's people wanted to stay hidden, they wouldn't be easily found.
Even if Everett guessed, it wouldn't matter. Without revealing themselves, his people couldn't find them.
"So now, he can only use BayCorp as leverage. He will definitely try to take control of BayCorp." It's
just too bad Everett doesn't know the seal is fake yet.
Lulu secretly rejoiced, somewhat looking forward to seeing Everett's reaction upon discovering the seal
is fake.
Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly. Everett wasn't usually this unguarded; it was the recent events that
made him lose his composure, giving them an opportunity.
It was somewhat surprising to her that Everett still had people in his hand.Nicole smirked slightly. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she thought to herself, 'Everett is indeed the
most scheming person, always thinking of leaving a way out for himself no matter the situation,
otherwise, the things he did over the years will be enough to keep him in prison for a lifetime.'
At that moment, in a restaurant near BayCorp.
Everett and Ellar sat opposite each other. Ellar was eating quietly, while Everett just watched him
without saying a word.
After noticing Ellar had almost finished his meal, Everett finally spoke up," How are you considering?"
"Are you done eating?" Ellar responded with a question instead of an answer.
"Mm." Everett's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, but he nodded.
Ellar's question was just casual; in fact, Everett hadn't even picked up his chopsticks from the
beginning.
But Ellar didn't care about these details. Since they had finished eating, it was time to leave.
Ellar stood up. "I'm done too, so I'll be going now."
"I'll give you three days to think about it, or you know the consequences," Everett said calmly, without
any sign of irritation.
After walking a couple of steps, El I ar stopped, turned back to Everett, and said, "Oh, and thanks for
the lunch."
With that, Ellar left with long strides.
"Sir, do you think he'll agree?" Jerry asked quietly.Ellar’s calm demeanor seemed almost unbelievable, as if he might be ready to give up.
"Whether he agrees or not, it's not his choice to make," Everett snorted coldly. "What about Aquila?"
"He said Patricia indeed went back to Riddle Corporation to report to Nicole. Someone will likely
investigate him soon, so he plans to lay low for a while," Jerry reported accurately.
"Mm, let him stay hidden for now," Everett nodded. Unless necessary, he wasn't planning to expose
Aquila.
This time was unavoidable. Jerry's men had been captured, forcing Everett to let Aquila make an
appearance.
Of course, he had considered that although it was a forced move, it would also draw Nicole's attention,
potentially buying some time on Eliar's end.
By the time Nicole reacted, BayCorp might already be within his grasp.
After leaving the restaurant, Ellar glanced back in its direction before getting into his car and driving
away.
"Mr. Riddle, are you alright?" the assistant asked.
