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.1 Why can't I get anything done?'

"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.
After Nicole had woken up, she took a shower and headed downstairs.
The dining hall was filled with merry chatters. As it turned out, Spencer and Samuel had brought their partners
home. It had been awhile since the house was this lively, so their presence definitely lifted the mood of everyone
who was present, especially their parents.
"You guys should come back more often. You don't live that far away from us either." Gloria smiled.
"Alright, we got it." Samuel and Spencer replied in unison.
Naturally, the house would be much livelier if everyone was present.
"Mom, Dad, we visited Stanley when we came back. Then, we went to meet up with Nicole. It got a little too late
after that, so we did not come and visit you." June and Lulu hurriedly explained.
Initially, they were supposed to return home first thing yesterday. Although Gloria and Daniel did not blame them,
June and Lulu still felt guilty that they did not manage to come over.
"It's fine. I understand that you guys came back earlier because of Stanley. In fact, you guys had to cut your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhoneymoon short because of this." Gloria smiled.
She did not resent them at all for not returning home last night.
June and Lulu both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. Although Gloria and Daniel were loving, the ladies
still felt that they should not take advantage of their compassionate and understanding nature.
Seeing that June and Lulu were nervous, Daniel reassured them. "You girls don’t have to be so uptight and
conventional around us. You are a part of this family as well."
"Alright, thanks Mom and Dad." June and Lulu instantly warmed up.
"Come, let's have our breakfast. You guys had to get straight to work as soon as you returned, so be sure to finish it
all." Gloria welcomed them for breakfast.
After everyone was seated, they began to dig in.
Meanwhile, Nolan and Lana looked at Samuel and Spencer." Uncle Samuel, Uncle Spencer. Didn't you say that you'd
bring us presents?"
"Oh, I brought them. It's at the coffee table. I'll bring them over for you once we're done eating breakfast." Samuel
grinned as he looked at the little kids.
Presents were a given. Not only that, but everyone would also have their share. Not one of them would be left out.
"Thank you, uncles and aunts." Nolan and Lana thanked them all, not forgetting Lulu and June in the process.
