Chapter 1057

"So that is the reason why you did what you did to Harvey yesterday, isn't it?"

"It seems to me that you've been dishing out a number of rhetorical questions.Are you having a guilty
conscience?" Jared asked, staring into her eyes.

"No, I'm not.I just didn't expect you to do that to Harvey.He was a little shocked."

Nicole looked at him.

"Did he say that to you?" Jared raised an eyebrow at her.

"Sort of."

"He even told you what was on his mind."

Jared looked at Nicole suspiciously.

"Wasn't he afraid that you would tell me?"

"Maybe he hasn't even thought about it.Anyway, I heard what Henry said just now.Was the international
project difficult?"

Nicole digressed, not wanting to discuss about Harvey with him.

Jared could sense that Nicole did not wish to talk about Harvey.

"It was a piece of cake.If he didn't say that, he would have no reason to send me away."

Nicole nodded, seeming to understand what Jared was saying.



"If that is what you mean, then what was his intention of sending you abroad? It can't be..."

A thought suddenly crossed her mind.She shook her head again in disbelief.

"No, it can't be."

"It can't be what? What's on your mind?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Jared asked with a frown.

"Nothing."

Nicole could not tell him, as she could not confirm her suspicions right now.

Jared looked at her curiously.

"Have you been here with Grandpa all these while?"

"Yeah, I came over every day to check on him."

Jared stared at the surveillance camera and examined it to ensure that it was just a regular camera
with no audio recording functions installed before he asked, ''So you must have come across
something suspicious, right?"

Nicole followed his line of sight.

"Do you know?"

"What is it?"

"It seems that you don't, then."

Nicole confirmed through the look in his eyes that he did not know about the fake doctor yet.

"Take a look at this."



Nicole handed him her phone.

Jared's pupils contracted when he saw what was in the video.

"Has this person been found yet?"

"We are still looking into it, but we should be able to uncover more about him in due time."

The fingers that he was gripping the phone with turned white.He did not expect that accidents would
still happen, even with bodyguards standing on watch.

"You should go home and catch some rest.I'll be here."

Jared looked at Nicole.

"Okay.I'll head back to the Riddle residence.My parents were visiting your grandpa the other day and
they did tell me to return."

"Send your parents my regards and thank them for me."

"Alright, I will.I'll be on my way, then"

Nicole took one more look at Mr.Johnston Sr.before walking out of the ward.

Upon entering the car, Nicole proceeded to phone Gloria.

"Mom, are you home? I'm coming back to see you now."

"Yes, we're home.Do come back! What would you like to eat for lunch?" Gloria asked her happily.

"I'll leave that up to you," Nicole replied.



"I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Okay, take your time, then."

"Yeah."
