Chapter 2743
"Mummy! Daddy!" All of the kids cheered, and gave the flowers they had to their parents.
All of the other children had two flowers each, with the exception of Nolan and Lana, who had three flowers
instead. After they had gifted the flowers to Jared and Nicole, they each gave Lawrence one, shocking him.
"Thank you, Godpa," Nolan and Lana said, and hugged him,
Lawrence had a conflicted look on his face as he embraced the two little ones.
He gently patted the kids on their backs and thanked them," I'm the one who should be thanking you."
As the performance continued, Lawrence sat there absentminded and lost in thought.
"Leo?" Nicole called out upon noticing how unusual he looked.
"I'll get going first. I've got a few things to settle. Do inform the kids about my departure," Lawrence requested, and

Safe to say, Lawrence's sudden departure left a strange feeling in Nicole's stomach. 'Lawrence seemed to have
some kind of motive for coming here today. He wasn't here for the performance. However, he hasn't really done
anything. Is it just my gut feeling?'
"Mommy, where did Godpa go?" Nolan and Lana asked after they were done with the performance.
"He had an emergency, so he has left to deal with it. But he did wish you all the best and to have fun today," Nicole
informed as she ruffled the children's hair.
"Oh, alright," the kids responded and took their seats beside their parents.
After wiping the sweat off them, Nicole handed a water bottle to them and said, "It must be hot for the both of you.
Here, drink some water."
"Thank you, Mommy," the two kids said, before drinking in big gulps.
It was the turn of the other kids to perform now, and so, Nolan and Lana stayed with Nicole and Jared to enjoy the
show.
Meanwhile, Lawrence had just entered the car after exiting the school grounds.
"Mr. Royce? How was it?" Ian whispered.
In turn, Lawrence shook his head. "We'll have to find another time."
"There's not much time left for us, sir," Ian said with a helpless look on his face.
The Water Crest had been in Lawrence's hands for a long time now, but nobody had been able to crack it. While
Everett seemed harmless and cooperative on the surface, he was, in truth, also biding his time and not as friendly
to Lawrence's cause as he seemed. They had to gain access to the Water Crest as soon as possible, just so that
Lawrence could become its bearer. That way, they could achieve Mr. Royce Sr. 's final wish.
Lawrence shot Ian a stern look. "I know."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was aware of the time limit, so he had intended to use Nolan's expertise to achieve his goals. Unfortunately, he
had hesitated moments ago, as he did not want to make his motive too obvious.
Then, as Lawrence brainstormed for a solution, he came upon a Eureka moment. "Get someone to create a game
and install that system into the game."
"Are you saying that we should make the system the final stage to complete the game?" Ian asked.
He was shocked, and found the solution to be a great idea.
"You could start now," Lawrence ordered.
There seemed to be no other way to do this anyway. If Nolan could not complete the final stage of the game, he
would naturally ask Nicole for help, and once Nicole was on the case, they might stand a chance in cracking the
system and gaining access to the crest.
Through this method, they could achieve their goals without risking detection. No one would even think that the
final stage in the game was the system keeping the Water Crest locked.
Lost in thought now, Lawrence leaned back against his seat as his eyes darkened.
By noon, the parent-child event had ended, and that was when Nicole and Jared brought the kids to the car.
"Mummy? Daddy? Can we eat hamburgers today?" Lana asked with anticipation.
