Chapter 1335

Ì still have to wait for the Mr. Johnston Sr.'s instructions on this matter. Have him settled in at our hotel and keep him guarded. Remember that no one must find out about him!" Jared solemnly ordered.

'Yes, sir!" Max said. "Do you have any other orders, Mr. Johnston?"

"Has Joyce made any moves recently?" Jared looked at Max and asked.

"No, the McCarthy family will be making their sacrifices to their ancestors tomorrow. They've been quiet for the past few days," Max replied.

"Quiet? Tomorrow we must pay special attention to their movements. Get someone to protect Nicole in secret." Jared looked at Max and ordered.

'Yes, sir," Max said.

"By the way, what happened to the foreigner that the McCarthy family is leeching on?" Jared asked.

"We’re still investigating them. So far, we've only come to know that they are of the Herald Family."

'The Heralds?' Jared could not help but become solemn upon hearing the name being uttered.

"Mr. Johnston, do you know of the Heralds?'

'Yeah, the Heralds have a long history across the globe. They have cooperative relations with families of renown across the world in various fields. They're very prestigious, and it's said that their businesses have been handed down for many generations now." Jared explained to Max as he gazed off into the distance with his piercing eyes.

'What I don't get is, how was the McCarthy family able to leech off of the Heralds? This is way too peculiar!' Jared said, unable to stop thinking about it, and unable to figure any of it out.

'I don’t understand,' he thought. 'Regardless of which angle I am viewing this from, how can the McCarthys, who are of no value, be of any use to them? Could it be true love? This is ridiculous!'

"Off you go. Report to me if you come across any new developments." Jared looked at Max and ordered.

'Yes, sir." Max turned to leave after he was done speaking, leaving Jared to ponder about this at his desk.

Meanwhile, Nicole had just pulled up in the parking lot of the Golden Coast building, and was about to walk toward the building when she was stopped.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Riddle?" a masked man approaching Nicole asked, stopping her in her tracks.

'You are?" Nicole asked, whereupon the man immediately produced a vial of liquid from behind and splashed it onto her.
