My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1123

Chapter 1123

"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 glanced at the tattooed guy.

"Yes, sir," the tattooed man affirmed.

After the both of them were done with the conversation, Henry placed 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 villa. 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 was coming back today. Why? What's the matter? Did Miss Riddle head over to your place?" Tia said, confused upon hearing the questions coming from Jared.

"During the day, she mentioned that she wanted to visit Mrs. Wallace 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 place, could she have returned to the Riddle family home?' Jared thought.

He was in a tizzy as he laid 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."
