Chapter 1429
[Don't worry. I'll come and get you. I still need to hand you the Reby Family Crest.]
[The Reby Family Crest? You've acquired it?]
Zeke was over the moon as soon as he heard the news. 'This is the best news I've heard in days!'
[Yes. You've got to hang in there. The badge is very cool.]
[Can you send me a photo of it?] Zeke asked.
[Okay, I'll send you a picture after I've settled down.]
[Alright then. I think it's time for US to go offline now. We can't linger any longer, or the risk of US being caught increases.]
[Ok.]
One after another, the two of them went offline.
Nicole placed her hat on her face, after which she closed her eyes and fell asleep. 'There's no danger on the plane.'
Hours passed, and upon feeling a shake, Nicole was jolted awake.
Then, she looked out of the window to notice that the plane had landed. She took her backpack, got off the plane and left the airport.
Nicole was aware that Carl was in this country as well, but her first priority was to hide and find out who the person who had been tailing her was. She hailed a cab and went to the hotel she had just booked. Arriving at the hotel shortly after, she scanned the surroundings outside of the building before walking in.
Nicole approached the front desk, whereupon she checked herself in. A staff member then guided her to her reserved room.
"This is the room you've booked. Have a good rest and call the front desk if you need anything," the staff said to her warmly.
"Okay, thank you."
After the staff had left, Nicole opened the door and walked in. She immediately locked the door after entering. Then, she began to check the security of the room, inspecting every nook and cranny to ensure that it was safe before placing her backpack down.
After that, she pulled the curtains aside and looked down, the view clear and wide. 'If anything happens, I'll be able to see it clearly.'
Nicole poured herself a glass of water before taking her laptop out to check on the task and surely enough, her hunches were confirmed.
'The alarm was triggered, and someone was already on my tail,' she reflected. 'Thankfully, I left the hospital in the nick of time, or else, Jared would be involved. Leaving him there was the best option to keep him safe. Judging by how quickly I have left the country, it would take a while for them to find me.'
'Now I just have to get the badge I've promised Zeke.' Nicole thought, as she had told Zeke that she had already acquired the badge in order to give him some hope and motivation.
Her slender fingers then darted across the keyboard as she committed herself to cracking the final key.
'If everything goes well, I will be done in half an hour.'
Meanwhile, Martin had found himself unable to take care of Jared on a constant basis, as he had a factory that he needed to run. With Jared left in a vegetative state, and with Max and Claus busy with the affairs of the Johnston Group, he was the only one left to manage things in the Beacon factory.
