    "Right," Henry said. "Well, the old man seems to be recovering well, so do you have any more bright ideas so


    as to leave him in a vegetative state? If you don''t, I''m afraid that the both of us will be in hot water."


    Henry Johnston had not been at ease since he discovered that his father, Maximillian Johnston, had been


    making a speedy recovery. This would only mean that he would be forced vacate his position as the chairman


    of the Johnston Group. At this juncture, the only option he had would be to deal with the old man as soon as


    possible


    "They have beefed up the security in the hospital," the man said. " It''s impossible to act against the old man."


    "Still, we must make the impossible possible as soon as we can! This is our only chance to act. I''ll be having


    nightmares if we don''t act any sooner!" Henry nced at the tattooed guy.


    "Yes, sir," the tattooed man affirmed.


    After the both of them were done with the conversation, Henry ced his hat on and left the private room at

    the hotel. After waiting for several minutes, the tattooed guy carefully examined his surroundings and strode


    out. With his head bowed, he walked on and left after he was certain that nobody was on his tail. As careful as


    he was, he did not know that he had been photographed by the security detail who was guarding Jared


    Johnston in the distance.


    Jared was working when his phone burred. Upon picking it up to check his messages, he saw photos of a


    tattooed man and an unidentified person.


    "Max, get someone to tail these two individuals, and see where they''re going," Jared ordered.


    "Yes, sir," Max replied.


    Once evening had arrived, Jared returned to the vi. Having not seen Nicole for a while now, he took his


    phone out and proceeded to make a call.


    "Tia, has Nicole returned to the mansion?"


    "Miss Riddle?" Tia answered. "No, she didn''t tell me that she wasing back today. Why? What''s the


    matter? Did Miss Riddle head over to your ce?" Tia said, confused upon hearing the questionsing from


    Jared.


    "During the day, she mentioned that she wanted to visit Mrs. Wace Sr., so I thought she''d returned home


    after that. Well, she''s not back yet, but she could be on her way. It''s alright, I''ll contact her." Jared hung up,


    confused.


    ''If she''s not at her grandmother''s ce, could she have returned to the Riddle family home?'' Jared thought.


    He was in a tizzy as heid on the sofa. He could not directly call the Riddles, nor did he wish to contact


    Nicole.


    "Martin, do you know where Nicole went after you''ve treated her wound?" he asked on the phone.


    Martin hesitated for a long time. Nicole had ordered him not to tell Jared, but at this juncture, he was in a


    dilemma, as he was worried about Nicole as well. "I..."


    Upon registering Martin''s hesitation over the phone, Jared pointed out, "Nicole told you not to tell me, didn''t


    she?"


    "Yeah."


    "No worries," Jared said. "Let''s do it this way. I''ll ask the questions and you answer yes or no."


    "Okay." Martin did not like the feeling of being in the crossfire between the two of them at all, as he felt as


    though he was betraying both of their trusts.


    "Has Nicole returned to the Riddle residence?" Jared asked Martin.


    "No."


    ''If she didn''t go back to the Riddle residence and she didn''t go back to her grandma''s residence either, then


    where is she?'' he thought.'' Does she have other ces to go to?''


    "Mr. Johnston, Nicole should be safe now. You don''t have to worry. As she doesn''t want you to know where


    she is, I think we should respect her decision. Let her calm down for a few days, and perhaps she''ll take the


    initiative to contact you then," Martin said, looking at the situation from the perspective of a bystander and


    objectively reminding Jared.


    "Yeah, okay." Jared concurred, hoping that Nicole was indeed safe and sound.


    Jared had not received any calls from Nicole for several days. He was getting anxious.


    ''Where is she hiding? Did she go over to Harvey Ellison''s ce?''


    Jared could not stop overthinking about all the possibilities, so he stood up, put on his coat, and walked


    outside.


    "Nicole, the goods that you''ve ordered are all here. Please take a look at them." Martin pointed to The


    Beacons that were neatly ced behind him.
