Chapter 1231

"Do you remember when Martin was forced to pay the Anderson family a visit abroad?" Mr. Johnston Sr. shifted his gaze to Jared and Nicole."The Anderson family? Are you talking about Luke's family?" Nicole narrowed her brows and asked."You're right. I heard that Luke's daughter has been linked up with some influential family abroad and they're coming back for some prayers. However, I have no idea if that's true.""Prayers?" Nicole asked, shocked as she looked at Mr. Johnston Sr."Yeah.""Why don't I know a single thing about it?" Nicole looked at Jared in puzzlement.Jared shook his head as he had no idea too."Most of the people here had forgotten about the Anderson family. Besides, only a few of them would be coming back this time, and they're keeping it on the down low. This is why not many people know about this." Mr. Johnston Sr. explained."Grandpa, why didn't you tell me about this previously at all?" Jared assumed a strange expression as he asked Mr. Johnston Sr. the q

"Don't take it the wrong way. I was just afraid that you have something more important to do. Let's head out together, then," Nicole said as she walked outside, after which she went to collect her car in the parking lot."Are you going to driving?" Jared asked."What else can I do? I can't be leaving my car here, can I?" Nicole looked at Jared."Max, take the car and leave," he ordered.Then, Jared approached Nicole's car and said, "I'll drive."They left the hospital in their Lamborghini and made their way to where Martin was. Then, Nicole took her phone out and dialed Martin's number.Martin answered the phone after a few seconds. "Hello, Nicole.""Martin, where are you now?" Nicole asked, requesting for his location directly."I'm in the office in my factory. What's up?" Martin asked."Why are you still there? Never mind. Let's talk when we meet later. Wait for me in your office." Nicole said, and hung up thereafter."What did he say?" Jared asked after noticing that Nicol

Up above, Martin was sitting on a chair while catching some rest with his eyes closed.Nicole and Jared walked in and knocked on the table."Nicole, Mr. Johnston. You're here." Martin opened his eyes to see them standing in front of him."You seem very tired. Have you not rested well for the past two days?" Nicole looked at Martin's bloodshot eyes."Everyone's busy outside. Being the person in charge, how can I catch a break during times like these?" Martin got up and poured each of them a cup of water."You don't have to do that. I came over I have something I need to ask you." Nicole went to the couch and sat down, looking at Martin with a serious expression.Martin took a seat as well, and he proceeded to look at both Nicole and Jared with a puzzled expression. "What is it?""What do you know about the McCarthy family's business abroad?" Nicole looked into his eyes and asked.Martin could not help but to furrow his brows when he heard the name, McCarthy, being uttered. "The

Jared then asked, "Who do you think it is?"Nicole thought about it for a moment, and gradually, she said, "Joyce McCarthy."As soon as the two words exited her mouth, Martin gasped. "Had she made an early return?""It's hard to ascertain...but I do have a feeling that she had something to do with the fire at the factory," Nicole said, giving them a guess."I can't be...it was her who had set the factory on fire?" Martin frowned in disbelief as he began pondering about it as well."There is no certainty as of now. Claus has yet to return with any sort of evidence, and we don't know for sure if Joyce McCarthy is in this city right now. This is all just our speculation..."Nicole did not have the slightest clue, and her guess was all too sudden too."You have to be alert. Pay attention to the people and the things happening around you. Do not let your guard down until the truth has been discovered. I'm really worried that you'll be in danger," Nicole warned as she looked into Mart

"Since you'd like to have steak, why don't you come in and give me a hand."Jared's culinary skills meant that her assistance was not required, but being in the kitchen by himself could prove to be boring, and so, he called her in, hoping she could keep him company while he was at it."Jared, since when have you required assistance when you cook?" Nicole took her coat off and strutted off to the kitchen.Jared looked at her with a smile and did not utter another word. He knew that he had gotten what he wanted when she came over."What do I need to do?" Nicole looked at him and asked."Wipe my sweat off me," Jared said with a smile.Hearing that, Nicole was stunned for a moment, 'Is he out of his mind? He just started and there's no sweat!'"Jared, there's not even a drop of sweat, what am I even wiping?" Nicole looked at him, puzzled."Impossible. I can already feel it. You're not planning to idle around, are you?" Jared said, deliberately messing with her.Unconvinced, Nicole

"Hurry up and cook the steak. I'm starving." Nicole looked at the steak on the grill and her stomach growled."Alright. It'll be ready soon." Jared gave Nicole a doting look, after which he started grilling the steak with utmost seriousness.Jared brought the steak into the dining room after they were cooked. By then, Nicole was already holding a knife and a fork, ready to taste the steak.Then, he looked at Nicole, who looked like a toddler waiting to be fed, and smiled, "Are you that hungry? Did you not eat much at the Riddle's?""I did. Every dish was tasty, and they were all my favorites too," Nicole replied, salivating when she thought of the lunch she had had at noon."Really? I should've gone there with you earlier," Jared joked.Nicole then proceeded to cut a piece of steak and chew it. "It's so tender. Your grilled steak is the best.""You have to pay for my delicious steak," Jared joked."Okay. Name the price." Nicole continued to eat with a look of nonchalance."Are

[Mr. Johnston, what have you been busy with? Why didn't you have the time to answer my call?]As it turned out, it was sent by Fiorella. Jared sighed and thought, 'Why is she still pining over me...?'Jared replied perfunctorily, as it would be rude to just ignore the text.[There are too many things for me to deal with as of recent. I am busy during the day. I must've missed it.][I've heard about the fire at The Beacon factory. Don't get too angry, things will get better with time.] Fiorella comforted him.[Are you going to your office tomorrow?]Jared stared at the message she had sent and ceased all of his responses for a moment. 'What does she mean? She's not going to come to the office to find me, is she?'[I'm not sure.] Jared replied in ambiguous fashion.[It's okay. Are you going to the office or Martin's? I know the address to both locations.][Anyway, it's already late. I won't bother you anymore. Please get some rest. It must've been very stressful these days. I'll

After that, the two of them slept until the sun rose.Nicole was woken up by the sound of her phone. She fumbled around carelessly and ended up touching Jared. Furrowing her eyebrows, she was instantly awake. Then, she immediately withdrew her hand with her heart pounding.At this point, Jared was also partially awake. He looked up and found Nicole sitting there in a daze."What are you doing?" Jared's voice suddenly sounded, which almost startled Nicole into falling off from the bed.Seeing this, Jared quickly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms before pinning her onto the bed.The two looked at each other with Nicole's heart pounding even faster than before. "You...why are you awake?" Nicole murmured as she looked into Jared's eyes."Aren't you the one who woke me up?" Jared helped smoothen her messy hair, and as the gentle teasing caused Nicole to bring her hands up to her chest, Jared took this opportunity to plant a light kiss on her face.He sat up with a smile and lo

"Is this necessary?" Martin asked, worried about the worker's reactions, and how they would be affected."Yes." Nicole answered him firmly."By the way, one question. Have you recruited any new employees as of recent?" Nicole asked, having suddenly thought about it."I did. Last week, the maintenance guy was too busy. They insisted that we get more hands on deck. They have been working hard, so I agreed to it." Martin looked at Jared and Nicole as he recalled."How many people were recruited?""There were five.""Focus on investigating these five people," Jared advised."Okay. I'll do so right away," Martin said."Wait." Nicole stopped Martin, who was about to leave."Is there something else?" Martin whirled around to look at Nicole."Find an excuse to do so. The last thing you'd want to do is spook them," Nicole advised."Okay." Martin went out after they were done speaking.Then, Nicole turned to look at Claus and said, "You have worked really hard. Go home and get some r

Heading to the direction of the Sea View Villa, she proceeded to make her way back to visit Mrs. Wallace Sr. before leaving, as the latter would think that Nicole had gone missing if she did not.As soon as Jared arrived at the office, an assistant walked over to meet him. "Mr. Johnston, the directors are waiting for you in the conference room."Jared frowned and looked at the assistant, "What are they here for?""The reasons they're here seems to be related to the fire at the Beacon factory." The assistant said, having gotten information about the Beacon factory incident."Let's go take a look." Jared changed and made his way to the conference room.Jared pushed the door open and walked in. The conference was silent for a moment. No one dared to speak.Seeing this, Jared sat at the head of the table, looking at everyone, "What brings everyone here today?"After a while, an elderly man looked at Jared and asked, "Mr. Johnston, did we invest in Martin's Beacon Company?""What ar
