My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 3117

"Okay, I understand," Nicole said, taking the document with her.

"I'll get back to work then," Lulu replied, turning to head to her office.

Back in her office, Nicole opened the document and frowned slightly after a brief look. The project seemed promising, clearly a worthwhile investment opportunity. However, something about the content felt eerily familiar. Tve never heard of the company, but why does the project's design seem so familiar?'

After a moment's hesitation, Nicole took the document to Sean's office.

"What's up?" Sean looked surprised to see her; it was rare for her to visit him during work hours.

"Sean, take a look at this," Nicole handed him the document. ' Lulu found it, and I think there's something off about it."

"Hmm." Sean's expression turned serious as he began to read through the document, his brow furrowing more deeply as he continued.

Nicole's gaze sharpened slightly. "Did you find something?"

"This was a project initiated by Uncle Damien a long time ago, but it was shelved because the investor was never disclosed," Sean's voice carried a trace of darkness.

"Uncle Damien?" Nicole's brows knitted together. "So, it's Everett again!"

With the project being so old and Damien locked up in prison, Everett was likely the only one who could resurrect it.

"Possibly," Sean said, puzzled. "But what's his purpose in doing this?"

After all, it was just a letter of intent. Whether they would agree to a contract was still uncertain. Even if they were interested in the project and agreed to sign, the terms of the contract would be crucial. They couldn't just sign anything haphazardly.

"I'll have someone look into it," Nicole said, her voice cold. If it really was Everett, his motives were probably not so straightforward.

"Alright," Sean agreed. Then he advised, "But for now, let's arrange for someone to contact them and keep them engaged without alarming them."

"Got it."

Sean glanced at Nicole and asked, "I heard there was almost an incident with BayCorp, how is it now?"

"It's resolved, but we still need to be cautious in the future," Nicole sighed, feeling somewhat helpless. "Everett's return seems to be aimed at giving none of US any peace."

"It doesn't matter; if something really happens, no one will stand by idly. We're all in this together, after all," Sean reassured her, highlighting the solidarity among them. Nicole felt a surge of gratitude. "Thank you, Sean."

"You're my sister; there's no need for thanks," Sean replied, his smile comforting.

'TH get back to work then," Nicole said, standing up to leave with the document, heading back to her office.

Soon after, Patricia entered. "Ms. Riddle, you called for me?"

"I need you to have Zane's team look into this," Nicole said, handing over the document. "It might be connected to Everett. Tell them to be cautious."

"Got it," Patricia confirmed, taking the document before leaving.

After departing from Riddle Corporation, Patricia reached out to Zane's team to convey the situation. Then, she made her way to BayCorp.

Near the premises, she spotted a familiar figure that made her frown. 'That has to be Doretta, Ellar's cousin, right? Supposedly, she is without friends here. So, why is she accompanied by a man?' Curiosity piqued, Patricia parked her car to the side and observed Doretta and the man more closely.

At first, Doretta appeared irritated, trying to dismiss the man. But after he whispered something to her, she paused, torn. Satisfied with his persuasive effort, the man handed Doretta a business card before departing.

Doretta stood there in a daze.

As Patricia watch the scene, her gaze sharpened slightly.
