Chapter 2360
If Nicole had not injured her hand and hamstring, her agility would have gotten the both of them out unharmed today. However, she was not as skilled as she used to be. If anything, she had narrowly managed to push Lulu away and evaded the blow that would otherwise have been her undoing.
"They suspect that the ones responsible were the same perpetrators as before," Jared said as his eyes darkened.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Do you think the same way?"
Nicole could tell that Jared was not convinced by this idea.' Why doesn’t he believe it? Even I think that the ones who were after me are responsible for this. After all, there's no one else in San Joto who wants me dead.'
"I just felt that if the perpetrators were the same, they wouldn't have done it so crudely," Jared explained.
He had suspected them once too, but an assassination attempt of such sort was somewhat amateurish. He believed that these people would not be that stupid and reckless, for a move like that would ultimately lead to mutual destruction.
Nicole fell silent, and her face blanched. "I've overlooked it."
Nicole only considered the fact that there was no one else who wanted her life. That was why Nicole and her brothers thought that the ones who were after her before this were
also the ones who had struck again.
Gritting her teeth, Nicole sardonically said, "It seems like quite a few people in San Joto want me dead."
Suddenly, three knocks were heard on the door, after which Max strode in and greeted, "Mr. and Mrs. Johnston."
"Spill," Jared ordered, his voice cold and low.
Max's expression was grim when he informed, "We caught the culprit, l-lt was Snow."
"Snow?!" Nicole was taken aback, unable to understand why Snow would do such a thing to her.
"Yes. We've sent her to the police. She confessed, saying she just wanted Mrs. Johnston's life as Mrs. Johnston has made her the laughingstock of San Joto," Max reported with frustration.
At this rate, he was beginning to wonder if Snow was mentally unstable.
"I made her a laughingstock?" Nicole asked, feeling a little puzzled, for Harvey and Everett were clearly the ones who had made a fool out of her.
