    Sadly, Nicole did not pick up any of the calls. Jared hung up with a frown and a sigh.


    "Max."


    Hearing Jared called him, Max instantly pushed the door and entered, "You were looking for me, sir?’


    "Try and locate Nicole."


    "Noted." Max nodded. Then, he whipped out his tablet. After a brief moment, he reported, "Ms. Riddles has returned to the sea view vi."


    "Vi?" Jared frowned again.


    ''This petty girl. She left home just because she''s angry?''


    The thought of Nicole sleeping over at Mrs. Wace Sr.''s house made Jared blue. There was no way he could bring her home when she had


    just gone there not long ago.


    Jared held his head in his hands as his hatred toward Fiore grew bigger.'' If it weren''t for her, Nicole wouldn''t have acted this way.''


    While he was cracking his head on this matter, Max''s phone rang. He nced at the caller ID and immediately picked up the phone without


    hesitation. Then, his face turned gloomy as he replied, "Alright, HI report it to Mr. Jared."


    After the call had ended, Max turned to Jared and said, "Sir, Henry has been brought back, but Mr. Maximillian''s men brought him to the


    family manor."


    "Grandpa?" Jared''s eyes turned dark as he did not expect Maximillian to bring Henry home.


    "Bring the car. Well go to the family manor." Jared was worried that Maximillian would be soft-hearted. He could not let Maximillian decide on


    this matter alone.


    Max followed Jared down and quickly drove him to the Johnston family manor. After two minutes or so, Jared exited the car. He saw that the


    vehicle that captured Henry was still there. ''They must have reached here not long ago.''


    Jared strode into the manor and found Henry kneeling on the floor.


    Maximillian was sitting on the sofa and fiercely stared at Henry, "You''re really an incredible son of mine. How dare youy your hands on


    your own family member? How did I raise a monster like you?"


    Henry was trembling all over when he received the scolding from Maximillian. He wanted to escape home and also from being punished by


    thew. However, he did not expect to be caught back home again.

    Seeing that everything had been exposed, Henry knew he had no way out of it. All he could do was crawl to Maximillian''s foot and cry, "Dad,


    I was wrong! I was too obsessed at that time. Please don''t me me or ignore me!


    Now that he was caught and brought back, if Maximillian hadn''t taken care of him, Henry would probably end up in jail and died there. After


    all, he was now responsible for a few people''s lives.


    "Don''t me you?" Jared suddenly chuckled. He entered the living room in a depressing mood.


    Henry instantly got scared and shivered like the autumn leaves falling from the tree, "Wh-When did you return?"


    Initially, Henry wanted to beg Maximillian for a second chance before Jared returned. However, it was unexpected that he would return this


    quickly!


    "Why? Are you that scared of me? Or are you simply scared that you can''t coax grandpa with me around?" Jared exposed Henry mercilessly.


    Henry trembled, "l-l''m not! Dad, don''t listen to his nonsense! How would I dare? I''ve really repented on all of my wrongdoings..."


    Jared chuckled, "If you really did repent, you wouldn''t be caught back here. You would''ve surrendered yourself earlier!"


    Those words instantly pped Henry in the face.


    It also made Maximilliane to a realization. This son of his would do anything just to escape from his sins. He must not be soft-hearted


    toward him!
