Nicole, her eyes twinkling with a smile, softly replied, "Mm."
Her voice was lazy and tender, especially alluring just after waking up.
Jared's gaze deepened. He leaned down and pecked Nicole's lips, then, feeling unsatisfied, kissed her
again, more passionately.
Their embrace was so intense it nearly made them lose their senses, raising the temperature of the
bedroom, creating a romantic atmosphere...
When Nicole and Jared finally got out of bed, it was already breakfast time.
Downstairs, Nolan and Lana tilted their heads in confusion," Dad, Mommy, were you too tired
yesterday? Why are you up so late today?"
Nicole, a bit embarrassed, quickly changed the subject, "Are you two going to school today?"
"Can we?" Nolan and Lana asked excitedly.
Staying home was a bit boring, and they preferred the fun of kindergarten with their friends.
"If you want to go, then let's go," Nicole said with a smile.
"Yeah, we want to," Nolan and Lana nodded vigorously.
"After breakfast, we'll take you to kindergarten," Nicole promised.
"Okay!" Nolan and Lana replied cheerfully.
After breakfast, with their schoolbags on, Nolan and Lana left with Nicole and Jared.After dropping them off at kindergarten, Jared drove Nicole to Riddle Corporation.
As they arrived, Lulu also reached there, waving at Nicole," Nicole."
Once Lulu caught up, Nicole and Lulu entered the company together.
"Mr. Johnston, Pisces said there's some movement from Scorpio's side," Max reported to Nicole as she
entered the building.
Jared's expression darkened slightly. "Have Scorpio's men arrived?"
"Yes, they've entered the country and are in a location arranged by Pisces," Max replied.
Pisces' role made it easier to hide them, something Scorpio couldn't do alone.
"For now, let's not make any moves," Jared said gravely.
Acting now could make Scorpio suspect Pisces, since he had arranged the location. Any trouble would
put Pisces in the spotlight.
Max understood Jared's plan. "We'll keep an eye on them, but we won't engage."
As long as they were under surveillance, they couldn't make major moves, so there was no need to
rush.
"These people are here for a reason. Scorpio must have a plan. Find out what it is," Jared paused
before adding, "And watch Lawrence closely."
Scorpio, despite his plans, was unlikely to act hastily.
However, Lawrence needed to show cooperation with Scorpio."Yes," Max responded carefully.
Both Scorpio and Lawrence were threats, potentially targeting Nicole or the two badges she held. They
weren't likely to back down easily.

Meanwhile, in Lawrence's office...
Mr. Royce, Scorpio's people have arrived," Ian reported quietly.
Lawrence looked up, his eyes darkening, "They're quick."
Ian hesitated before asking, "Scorpio's last plan failed. What now?"
Lawrence's hand tightened, a cold light in his eyes.
He was working with Scorpio but wouldn't allow harm to Nolan and Lana.
He needed the Fire Crest and Water Crest and might pressure Nicole, but Nolan and Lana were off-
limits.
They were young and could easily be hurt, scared, or even have their futures impacted.
