Chapter 1223


    Nicole thought it would be a ruin with nobody around. However, as soon as she got out of the car, she


    saw us.


    us immediately chuckled when he saw Nicole as he walked toward her. "Why are you here, Miss


    Riddle?"


    Jared had given him an arduous task early in the morning itself, making him think that he was going to


    be utterly bored for the entire day, which was why he did not expect Nicole toe over.


    "Did Jared send you here?" Nicole guessed.


    usughed. "M-hm. You''re right, Mr. Johnston sent US here to im everything that can be


    salvaged before clearing the area for reconstruction.


    I’ve got to give him credit where credit is due. Jared really is efficient,’ Nicole thought.


    “Alright, carry on," she said. "HI go and have a look.”


    us quickly stopped her. "Miss Riddle! This ce is already in ruins, what''s there to see?! It''s not


    safe to walk here. Please don''t get yourself hurt.”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Nicole shook her head. "It''s fine. I''m just going to look around.”


    Then, she asked us about the location where the fire had started, after which she went to the area


    where the generator was and examined it.


    As expected, she could not find the problem.


    us looked at her and asked curiously, "Miss Riddle, is there a problem here?"


    Nicole thought about it and said, "Bring me some tools. I want to crank it open and have a look inside.”


    us nodded and got someone to bring a toolbox over.


    Nicole reached out for the toolbox and took one of the tools out as she stood in front of the charred


    generator and pried the shell open. As expected, the wires were already in a mess, but Nicole was still


    looking for clues.


    us was confused, but he knew that Nicole would never do something if she did not have a good


    reason to, so he just waited for her at the side.


    After some time spent inspecting the device, Nicole finally spotted an area that had melted in a manner


    different from the rest of the generator. Nicole''s eyes narrowed.


    us watched as she picked a wire up and examined it, so, in his state of curiosity, he asked, "Miss


    Riddle, is something wrong?"


    Nicole''s eyes darkened as she quickly a section of the wire off and passed it to us. “Put it in a bag


    and find out how this wire was melted.


    Then, follow the clues and continue investigating.”


    us immediately nodded and took the wire. "Got it."


    He gotten word from Max that this fire was uncanny, so Nicole might have actually found a clue. With


    this in mind, us did not linger, and quickly brought it for inspection.


    Nicole watched him from the back with a wicked smile. "I''ll find you, no matter who you are!"


    After two hours, Nicole returned home to her parents, and as she exited her car, she saw that Sean


    and Steve were both getting off their vehicles too.


    They were bbergasted when they saw her. "Nicole?! You''re back?!"
