Chapter 1267
is Miss Riddle injured?" Max asked with concern.
Jared immediately grabbed the phone. "It's Jared Johnston here. What just happened?"
"Mr. Johnston, Miss Riddle took care of her stalker, who had already passed out by the time we arrived."
"Is Nicole hurt?" Jared asked anxiously, as Nicole was probably the only person who could make him worry.
"We can't tell for now, but our men are following her already. Well hear from them soon."
"You must report to me the minute you receive any news regarding Nicole," Jared ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Johnston. And what are we going to do with Miss Riddle's stalker? ’ Max's man asked.
"Get him to rat his boss out," Jared heartlessly said.
"Yes, sir," the man said.
Jared then tossed the phone back over to Max with a dark look in his eyes. He was extremely worried about Nicole and was afraid that she had gotten hurt. If she was, he would never go easy on the person who had inflicted injuries upon her.
"We're back," Harvey said as he opened the car door.
"Why did you buy so many things?" Nicole remarked, noticing that they were struggling to hold that many bags.
"We had to buy more for grandma. That way, we can show her that we're sincere." Harvey smiled at Nicole.
"Fine." Nicole reached out to take some of the gifts off Harvey's hands before driving back to the hotel.
In the hotel, Harvey asked her, "What time is our flight tomorrow?"
"I haven't booked US a flight yet, so I'll send it to you when I'm done," Nicole responded.
"Alright, HI catch some rest now, then."
"Me too."
"Okay."
Once Harvey and Kelly had left, Nicole began to think about what the stalker had said.
'As Joyce had already placed a target on my back, wouldn't Martin be as well?' she thought, during which she quickly pulled her phone out to call Martin.
'Martin, how's the rebuilding coming along?" Nicole asked.
"It's almost done now. How have you been?" Martin asked.
"I'm alright. The good news is, I'm coming back tomorrow," Nicole said, telling him about her return.
"Tomorrow? Really?" Martin uttered, shocked to hear this.
"Yeah, when have I ever lied to you?" she asked.
Nicole felt a lot better as she thought about returning home. She had not been feeling too well due to the failure with the chip she had been developing.
"Great. What time's your flight? I'll pick you up upon arrival," Martin said excitedly.
'I haven't booked my tickets yet. You must be busy at the factory, so it's best if you don't come over. I'm not alone anyway. I have Harvey and Kelly with me," Nicole declined, as she did not want to trouble Martin, knowing how busy things were at the factory.
