Seth's eyes narrowed slightly as he inspected the ID; it was fake, confirming his suspicion about the visitors. He returned the ID without revealing his realization and subtly signaled toward a hidden spot with his other hand.They had a team positioned here specifically to ensure Nolan and Lana's safety, determined not to let any potential threat into the kindergarten.A responding whistle came from the hidden spot upon receiving Seth's signal."Now, can I go in?" the visitor asked, visibly growing impatient. The teacher's been gone a while. He knew that if they don't do something soon, they would blow their cover.Anne came back, yelling, "Don't open the gate! The Wi-Fi is working, and there's something off about these people."The visitor frowned. He had hoped to sneak in without causing a scene, but now he saw no other option but to use force.He banged on the gate, frustrated, and told his group, "We'll break in. We have to catch them."With that, four more people got out o

Nicole was aware that Lawrence believed having her would make Jared hesitant, giving him a chance.Jared seemed about to say more, but Nicole silenced him with a kiss. Startled for a moment, Jared quickly regained his composure, kissing her deeply."I should head back now. If I stay too long, there's a risk I'll get caught, and that could mess up your whole plan," Jared said reluctantly."Okay, see you soon," Nicole replied with a smile.After smoothing her hair, Jared cautioned, "Take care of yourself. Your safety comes first. We can find other ways to handle everything else.""Don't worry," Nicole assured him.Watching Jared leave, Nicole smiled. She hadn't expected Jared to risk visiting her, but thankfully, he hadn't been detected, allowing her plan to proceed.The guards outside were still there, but at this hour, they had fallen asleep.Restless, Nicole moved to the window, gazing into the night, her expression gradually darkening.****Meanwhile, Jared returned to the

"Zane will help us out," Jared said seriously.He had already contacted Zane. For this roundup, Zane would personally lead people to crackdown Lawrence's force. Jared could leave the subsequent matters entirely to Zane. After all, Zane needed to investigate many things connected to Lawrence, including incidents from the past.Knock, knock, knock.When Jared heard the knock, he said in a deep voice, "Come in."The door opened.Seeing the visitor, Jared said, "You got here fast.""I was already watching Lawrence, so I rushed over when I heard what happened," Zane replied.With Zane came Doretta, who mentioned, "No news from Nicole yet.""It's fine, we can start planning," Zane said, and they all sat down.Zane spread out a map and shared, "This shows Lawrence's place. It has one way in and out, but we've found out he's got a hidden tunnel too. Nicole might have gone in there herself.""If we don't know where this tunnel is, Lawrence could easily escape," Charlie added, thinking

Apart from Lawrence, nobody knew about those things, and now it was time to bring them out. He was eager to see how Zane and Jared would react with those in play.Ian said joyfully, "That's great." Thinking to himself that Lawrence had a card up his sleeve, it's no wonder he was willing to abandon everything at San Joto so readily. If they succeeded this time, it would be easy to reclaim what they lost.He then asked Lawrence, "Where are those things?" He was curious to see them for himself."No hurry, you'll know when it's needed," Lawrence said calmly.Ian's expression stiffened, and he quickly responded respectfully, "Yes." He had momentarily forgotten his place, carried away by the moment."Go and make arrangements. We still need to strengthen the defenses here at the base," Lawrence instructed Ian."Yes," Ian replied, immediately turning to leave.Lawrence's pupils narrowed slightly. 'Jared is searching everywhere for Nicole, and it seems he already knows where I keep her.

"Please come back safely," Ellar murmured softly, silently praying in his heart that everyone would return unharmed."Mr. Riddle, it's getting late. We should head back," his assistant quietly reminded him.The plane was already in the air, and Ellar knew staying wouldn't change anything. With a heavy sigh, he said, "Let's head back."He didn't like the idea of Patricia facing danger, but after seeing her worry and stress these last few days, he felt he had to support her decision.He understood what she needed and made the tough choice, despite his feelings.He loved her too much to hold her back. He wanted to be her biggest supporter as she followed her heart.Once in the car, Ellar nervously sent a text to Charlie.[Charlie, Patricia's on her way to you. Please look out for her.]He waited anxiously for a response, but none came for a while, making him worry even more. 'What's happening? Why hasn't he answered? Is everything okay?'Finally, his phone beeped with a reply.[
