Chapter 3177
"Right," Lulu nodded in agreement. If two people could find happiness together, that truly was enough.
Meanwhile, Everett had returned to his company.
Upon entering his office, Everett asked with a dark expression, "Any news?" "Doretta mentioned that Eliar doesn't seem as composed as he appeared. It's likely he was just putting on an act in front of you. After we left, Patricia immediately went to Riddle Corporation, probably to discuss their strategy, " Jerry reported.

"Hmph," Everett gritted his teeth. "Keep a close eye on Ellar."
The more he thought about today's events, the stranger they seemed. Ellar appeared genuinely unconcerned about BayCorp, even challenging him to a lawsuit. ’Is he really not afraid?' "Hexton has already relayed the message to her. She'll send any news immediately," Jerry responded.
Everett sat down, his gaze dark and thoughtful.
Now that he had control over BayCorp, Ellar seemed unwilling to compromise. 'Does Ell ar want to give up BayCorp for Nicole, or does he have other plans? Why do I feel so uneasy about this?'
For some reason, this feeling, which had helped him avoid numerous crises over the years, was bothering him now.
After pondering for a moment, Everett instructed, "Get Aquila to investigate. We can't afford to take this lightly." "But Aquila is currently..." Jerry had wanted to say Aquila was still being hunted.
"He'll handle it," Everett waved his hand, signaling Jerry to make the contact.
Jerry had no choice but to agree, "Yes."
Watching Jerry leave, Everett's eyes had a hint of darkness. He wouldn't act without being absolutely sure, especially since his chances were dwindling. With some of his people captured and other plans disrupted by Nicole, this was his only opportunity, and he couldn't afford any slip-ups.
Meanwhile, after Patricia returned to BayCorp, Ellar briefed her on Doretta's actions.
"Hmm," Patricia's eyes darkened. Doretta had already made her move, and Everett must have received the news by now.
"What did Nicole say?" Ellar glanced outside before lowering his voice.
Patricia gave Ellar a look. Her tone was carrying a warning as she said," Nicole said that everything now depends on your performance." "I suddenly feel a lot of pressure." This meant that the plan would only proceed smoothly if he acted correctly. Any mistake could spell trouble.
Patricia slightly raised her eyebrows at Ellar, as if to say, 'As long as you know.' "Good that you understand," the corners of Patricia's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Seeing Patricia about to leave, Ellar instinctively held her back. "Wait a moment." "Is there something else?" Patricia asked, puzzled.
"My mother... she invited you to dinner tonight," Ellar said, his voice even lower.
Patricia's expression stiffened slightly. "I think I'll pass."
With the situation nearing its end, it was time to clarify her relationship with Ellar to everyone.
"Don't say no. How am I supposed to explain this to my mom?" Ellar pleaded.
Patricia, feeling awkward, reminded him, "Sooner or later, she has to know. I think it's better to prepare your mother in advance."
Continuing to visit Ellar's home and pretending to be his partner would only deepen the misunderstanding, making it harder to explain later.
"We can't afford any changes right now. Even the slightest shift could jeopardize the plan,” Ellar insisted.
