My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 3157

Three days flew by quickly, and the people arranged by Zane arrived in San Joto. "Zane has briefed you on the situation, right?" Nicole asked in a serious tone.

"Yes, clearly," a man's voice came through the phone.

"The squad we sent out earlier should have gathered some information by now. Let's arrange a meeting to exchange what they've found. You can handle the follow-up work on your own. If you need any help, just let me know," Nicole added.

"Okay," the other party agreed.

After hanging up, Nicole took a deep breath.

She had already arranged for someone to start the investigation earlier, and with these new arrivals, they could directly proceed with the next steps.

"Nicole, are you really not going to participate?" Lulu asked Nicole with some confusion.

"They'll keep me updated on the progress. As for the rest, it's better to let them handle it. After all, I'm no longer part of Zane's organization, and it's actually not appropriate for me to be involved in some of their internal matters," Nicole explained, noting that some information needed to remain confidential.

The rules of the organization didn't allow for exceptions, even considering her unique status. This wasn't about worrying over information leaks.

Having fewer people involved would ensure higher mission confidentiality, which would be more advantageous for its success.

"So, any updates on their investigation? Have they found any evidence?" Lulu wondered.

"No evidence yet, but they've identified the identities of several individuals involved. They're just waiting for concrete evidence before making any arrests," Nicole explained. Planning was necessary before any arrests to avoid alerting the suspects prematurely.

"Once those people are arrested, Everett will have to behave himself a bit more," Lulu huffed.

"Everett, huh? That's really hard to say," Nicole shrugged, thinking he might either calm down or become even more frantic. She secretly hoped for the latter, as it would give them more opportunities. Lulu sighed, agreeing that Everett was indeed difficult to predict.

Seeing Lulu looking somewhat deflated, Nicole smiled. "Don't be discouraged. The situation is still in our favor."

"It's not that I'm worried about that. It's just frustrating that we still can't bring Everett to justice," Lulu shook her head resignedly, noting Everett's cunning nature.

"Alright, don't fret over him. Everything will turn out fine," Nicole comforted Lulu.

Lulu nodded, then thought of something. She asked, "Oh, right. I heard that Stanley and Tia's wedding has been set."

"Yes, it's scheduled for the fifth of next month. Starting today, Mom and Emma will begin the preparations," Nicole explained.

"It hasn't been easy for them, but at least they're finally getting their happy ending," Lulu remarked. Plus, having a joyful family event was good for everyone.

"Yes," said Nicole. She then added with a smile, But this means that Preston and Ellar will feel even more pressure."

"Ellar maybe, but Preston's pressure must be even greater," Lulu laughed.

"However, I feel like Emma seems more anxious than Karen," Nicole said, biting her lip slightly with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Lulu pondered then agreed, "That seems true. But doesn't that make it look like Preston is less cared for?"

"Is that such a bad thing?" Preston's voice suddenly interrupted, startling Lulu as they were speaking.

Turning to see the person at the door, she asked in surprise, "What brings you here?"

It was such a coincidence-they were just gossiping about him, and there he was. How awkward.

"I was just coming to see Nicole when I overheard something," Preston said, seemingly noticing Lulu's embarrassment, adding that detail on purpose.
