Chapter 3277
In the backyard of the villa, a helicopter waited on the lawn, ready for immediate departure from San Joto.
"Get in,’ Lawrence said to Nicole, noticing her momentary pause.
"Alright," Nicole responded, stepping into the helicopter first. She figured it was best to go along for now, seeing no viable way to escape. Resistance seemed futile.
With everyone on board, the helicopter lifted off, quickly gaining altitude and leaving the area behind.
As the helicopter shrank to a mere speck in the sky, Doretta made her appearance, her expression one of deep concern. Without wasting a moment, she hurried away from the scene.
Her destination was clear: the Riddle residence.
In the study, Jared frowned at Doretta. "Why are you here?" "Nicole has been taken by Lawrence," Doretta said through clenched teeth.
"After discussing the plan with Nicole, I left first.
"But then, I remembered something and turned back, only to see someone taking Nicole away.
"I followed them and discovered she was captured by Lawrence's people."
Jared's expression darkened when he realized Lawrence might have been waiting for a moment when Nicole was alone to capture her.
If Doretta hadn't had a reason to return, they might not have found out about this so quickly.
"I'll have Max work with you. Well rescue her immediately," Jared instructed Doretta without hesitation.
"No," Doretta said, shaking her head. ‘I wanted to rescue her at the time, but she signaled me not to reveal myself and to bring the message to you instead."
She was shocked at Nicole's gesture, but she refrained from attempting a rescue and chose to follow Nicole's wishes.
"So she has a plan?" Jared's expression turned more serious as he thought, 'It must be so, otherwise why wouldn't she let Doretta rescue her?' "It seems like it," Doretta replied. ’ And they've left on a helicopter. It's too late to stop them from leaving San Joto." "Did she say anything else?" Jared's eyes narrowed slightly, indicating that since Nicole willingly left with Lawrence, she must have had a plan.
Doretta answered, "Nicole mentioned going to Mecrounia.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jared fell silent for a moment, his gaze intense.
After a while, he finally said, "Get ready. We're leaving right away." "Okay." Doretta agreed and quickly left the Riddle residence.
A short while later, Jared emerged from the study, looking composed once more.
In the living room, Daniel and Gloria were watching TV with Nolan and Lana.
"Daddy," Nolan and Lana turned to Jared and asked, "When is Mommy coming back?" "Mommy has some work to do, and I need to go help Mommy. We might not be back for a few days," Jared sat down and gathered Nolan and Lana into his arms. "You'll stay here with your grandparents, okay? Until we return?" "Okay," Lana nodded in agreement.
Nolan seemed hesitant. "Is it really about work?" he asked.
"Of course, it's work,” Jared said with a slight smile.
"But why did I feel like Doretta was in a hurry when she left just now?" Nolan frowned, wondering, 'And when Doretta arrived, Daddy called her into the study. If it was just a minor issue, they could have talked in the living room, right?’
