Chapter 1233
Up above, Martin was sitting on a chair while catching some rest with his eyes closed.
Nicole and Jared walked in and knocked on the table.
"Nicole, Mr. Johnston. You're here." Martin opened his eyes to see them standing in front of him.
"You seem very tired. Have you not rested well for the past two days?" Nicole looked at Martin's bloodshot eyes.
"Everyone's busy outside. Being the person in charge, how can I catch a break during times like these?" Martin got up and poured each of them a cup of water.
"You don't have to do that. I came over I have something I need to ask you. " Nicole went to the couch and sat down, looking at Martin with a serious expression.
Martin took a seat as well, and he proceeded to look at both Nicole and Jared with a puzzled expression. "What is it?"
"What do you know about the McCarthy family's business abroad?” Nicole looked into his eyes and asked.
Martin could not help but to furrow his brows when he heard the name, McCarthy, being uttered. "The McCarthy family? I have not heard a single thing about them ever since they migrated."
Nicole then asked, "Does Joyce not contact you anymore?"
Martin's eyes lit up the instant his memory was refreshed, and he said, "She called me once, but I didn't answer, nor did I call back."
"What happened? Why did you bring up the subject about the McCarthy family?" Martin stared at Nicole with a look of confusion. He did not understood why Nicole had made mentions of the McCarthy’s.
Nicole looked into Martin's eyes, and in a solemn tone of voice, he said, "I heard that the McCarthy family has risen from the dead."
"What do you mean? Risen from the dead?" Martin stared at her for a moment, not understanding what he Nicole had meant.
"The McCarthy family had married one of their daughters to a rather eminent family abroad. Things have been going really well for them. There are news about them making their return here to pay their forefathers some respect," Nicole said, spilling everything to Martin.
