Chapter 1294
’The suburbs?" Nicole frowned and looked at Jared. "No wonder there are no traces of her activity on the internet. The signal in the suburbs must be pretty poor, right?"
In Nicole's imagination, the suburbs which Joyce was staying at must be a remote and secluded place with no residents.
it's not like how you imagine. I think the reason as to why she isn't on the internet is that she doesn't want to give her location away." Jared calmly analyzed.
After Nicole had heard Jared's analysis, she lowered her head and began to think. 'What he said makes sense too. The McCarthy family had publicly announced that they're returning to their hometown. Why would Joyce hide her whereabouts?'
’Jared, there's one thing which I don't understand. The McCarthys have already made the announcement that they're going back to their place of origin. Why would Joyce go into hiding?" Nicole frowned and asked Jared.
"I guess she must be harboring some sort of unspeakable secret," Jared blurted out.
’Yeah, that must be the case." Nicole agreed.
"Jared, what has Joyce been doing recently?" Nicole continued to question Jared.
"She has been behaving well. Other than going to the gym on a daily basis, she doesn't go anywhere else." Jared told her everything he knew about Joyce.
"Gym..." Nicole murmured.
’Could there be something odd about the gym as well?" Nicole guessed.
’I've sent someone there to investigate it. If there are any updates, I'll let you know," he replied.
"Nicole, are there any interesting stories from when you were abroad? I'd like to hear them.” Jared smiled, easing his way into the topic about
everything that had happened abroad.
"When I was abroad? I guess the best thing that happened to me on this trip was that I went on a shopping spree,’ Nicole recalled, as the shopping trip was the most interesting that had happened to her.
"Shopping spree? Tell me more," Jared said, following his instinct.
He felt that something must have happened during that shopping spree.
Nicole did not register this, but she was falling for Jared's trap.
"The other day, the three of US went shopping. While we were walking, a child suddenly appeared out of nowhere and tackled Harvey to the ground. At that moment, Harvey just couldn't stop crying.’ Nicole burst into an incessant gale of laughter as she recalled the experience.
Watching Nicole's laughter, Jared looked at her in confusion. "Is it that funny?"
Nicole looked at him and nodded. Then, she continued with her fits of laughter on the couch.
Initially, he wanted to find out if Harvey had done anything that had crossed the line. However, it seemed to him that Harvey had been making a fool out of himself in front of Nicole.
After a few minutes, Nicole finally stopped laughing, "You should get back to work. Am I being a distraction to you here?"
"It's still fine." Jared got up, walked to his desk, and continued working until noon came around.
Then, he got up from his desk and turned to Nicole, "It's already noon. Let's have lunch together."
