Chapter 1153
Nicole placed her phone down and began typing on the keyboard. When she saw the notification on the computer screen, her eyes darkened.
'Seems like someone is planning to get firearms,' she thought.
"Zeke, activate the firewall I've created for now. If anything happens, contact me." Nicole sent the procedure over and continued her investigation on this issue.
Meanwhile, Jared had gone to visit his grandfather.
"Jared, do you have any updates regarding your Uncle Henry?" Mr. Johnston Sr. asked.
"Not yet. Searching for someone who's holed up in another country takes time, so my people are still working on it. We'll probably hear from them soon enough if Uncle Henry hasn't flown to a third country," Jared responded.
"No one else knows about this, right?" Mr. Johnston Sr. asked as he looked at Jared.
"No."
"Good. Do not ruin the name of our family. Let's just settle this matter privately."
"Sure."
"You should head back to work."
"Take care, grandpa. Bye for now." Jared stood up and left the ward.
The instant Jared had entered the corridor, he asked, "Max, do you have updates regarding Henry?"
"Nope, it's as if he has vanished into thin air," Max replied. "There have been no traces of him since he fled."
Jared sighed, frustrated. "Hire a professional detective from that country to aid us. It will be great if we can find him as soon as possible."
"Alright, I'm on it," Max replied.
When he went back to his mansion, the silent emptiness in the house made him think of Nicole. So, he picked his phone up and called her. "Hello, are you busy right now?"
"It's alright. What's up?" Nicole turned the loudspeaker on as her eyes scanned through the details on her computer.
"Nothing much, just wanted to ask how you're doing over there," Jared replied, as he just wanted to hear her voice.
"I'm fine," she said. "If that's all you wanted to ask, I'll be going off now."
"Okay, bye." Jared finished, feeling calmer now that he had heard Nicole's voice.
Nicole did not even have the time to think about the reason as to why Jared called her in the first place. As soon as she had ended the call, she centered all of her attention to the information on the computer.
"Nicole, I've already activated your firewall. What should I do now? " Zeke asked her.
"Now, you'll have to watch out for any attacks that might give the person's location away," Nicole ordered.
"Okay," Zeke replied, after which he dozed off.
