Chapter 1998
Max had already acted very promptly, and yet, the people he had sent ended up coming back empty-handed anyway. The doctor was nowhere to be found, and he had probably fled during midnight. In addition, he had not left any clues at his home, and no one knew how he had left or where he had gone.
After knowing what had happened, Nicole's pupils contracted slightly. "If that's the case, could he already be murdered?"
"It's possible," he replied, as they were all thinking that too.
Nicole bit her lip lightly, as though she was lost in thought. Upon noticing Nicole's silence, Jared left her be, as he knew that she needed time to calm down.
After some time, the car slowly came to a halt as they had already arrived at the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation.
Nicole got out of the car, and was about to say something when Jared beat her to it. 'TH come to pick you up after work."
She paused for a moment before agreeing, "Sure."
A satisfied look flashed across Jared's face. He watched as Nicole entered the building and left.
Nicole went to the top level of the building where the highest -ranking officers worked and that was when she spotted Sean and Steve.
They could not help but feel sorry for Nicole upon noticing the amount of documents she was holding. "You just started working. There's no need to push yourself so hard. Take it easy."
"I..." Nicole looked at the documents in her hands. "Not all of them are related to work."
To be specific, only one of them was about work, and it was the letter of intent on cooperation that Lawrence had given her. The other two were given to her by Jared; one was the information about the partners of the Riddle Corporation and the other featured the details about Nolan and Lana's future kindergarten.
"Hey guys, I have something to tell you," Nicole said with a stern expression without divulging more about the documents in her hands.
