Chapter 1351
"What do you need me to find out?" Harvey stared at Nicole with a look of puzzlement.
"It's about what happened at the parking lot. I've found the person who assaulted me," Nicole calmly said.
"You've found him? Where is he? I'll go and make him pay for what he did!" Harvey immediately stood up and asked upon hearing the news.
Nicole knew that he would display such a massive reaction, so she quickly signaled him with her eyes to sit down. "Keep it on the down low!”
Nicole scanned her surroundings. Fortunately for her, the place was quite empty that day, and as such, nobody was paying attention to them.
"I've met the person and it seems that someone had ordered him to attack me," she said. "There's no need to give him hell over it anymore."
"Even if he was just a hired gun, you should not just let him off the hook, since he's an accomplice too," he fumed. "You must give him the punishment he deserves. What are you going to do if he hurts you again?"
Harvey then looked at Nicole nervously. 'Is it inconvenient for her to do so?’
"If it's inconvenient for you to act upon it, I can do it on your behalf," Harvey said in a solemn tone as he looked into Nicole's eyes.
"No, it's just that I don't really want to take any action against him. The most important thing now is to find out who the true perpetrator behind this incident is.' Nicole reminded him in a stern voice.
"I've managed to acquire the address where the attacker met up with the instigator. I called you here today to check the place out for me," Nicole told Harvey.
"Me?" Harvey asked in confusion.
"Yeah. I'm sure they'll recognize me, so I can't go there by myself. I can't simply tell anyone about this incident too. Hence, you're the best choice for this. On top of that, you're the one I trust the most," she solemnly said.
Harvey felt touched after hearing those words, for Nicole actually referred to him as someone whom she trusted the most.
"Why are you zoning out?' Nicole asked, trying to get Harvey back into his senses, as she noticed that he was in a daze.
"Nothing. What were we talking about?' Harvey asked Nicole as he beamed at her.
"I said, do you have time to check the place out for me?" Nicole repeated herself again.
Ì do. If it has anything to do with you, I'll make myself available for it even if I'm busy." Harvey looked at Nicole as if she was the most important thing in the world to him.
"Can you not suck up to me?" Nicole rolled her eyes at him.
"Anyway, this is the address of that place. You may have a look. After this, I'll bring you there while I wait in the car," she continued.
"What should I say when I enter?" he asked.
"You don't have to initiate a conversation. Just act like you're in trouble and desperate for help. Then, the owner would approach you on his own and recommend someone named Ms. Jo to you. I suspect Ms. Jo to be the mastermind behind this whole incident," she replied.
"Ms. Jo?" he asked.
