Chapter 1232


    “Don’t take it the wrong way. I was just afraid that you have something more important to do. Let’s head


    out together, then,” Nicole said as she walked outside, after which she went to collect her car in the


    parking lot.


    “Are you going to driving?” Jared asked.


    “What else can I do? I can’t be leaving my car here, can I?” Nicole looked at Jared.


    “Max, take the car and leave,” he ordered.


    Then, Jared approached Nicole’s car and said, “I’ll drive.”


    They left the hospital in their Lamborghini and made their way to where Martin was. Then, Nicole took


    her phone out and dialed Martin’s number.


    Martin answered the phone after a few seconds. “Hello, Nicole.”


    “Martin, where are you now?’ Nicole asked, requesting for his location directly.


    “I’m in the office in my factory. What’s up?” Martin asked.


    “Why are you still there? Never mind. Let’s talk when we meetter. Wait for me in your office.” Nicole


    said, and hung up thereafter.


    “What did he say?’ Jared asked after noticing that Nicole had begun to look miffed.


    “Martin is still in his office in that factory. I have no idea what he’s doing there,” Nicole said, baffled.


    “The employees are still renovating the ce. I guess he’s just worried.” Jared exined, as he was


    able to understand Martin’s intention.

    Nicole frowned as she looked at Jared without saying another word.


    “You went back to your house today, right? How are your parents?” Jared shifted his gaze to Nicole and


    asked.


    “They’re fine. My parents even made mentions about you as we spoke, and they said that they haven’t


    seen you for a while now.”


    “You went abroad, and besides, I’ve been busy too,” Jared exined.


    “I know.” Nicole said, not ming him.


    Jared shed her a faint smile before he asked, “Is Norah still living in the Riddle Residence?”


    With Jared’s sudden mention of Norah, Nicole paused for a second before she answered, “No. I heard


    that she had followed her parents home after they were discharged.”


    “I see.” Jared gave her a slight nod. ’Without Norah around, Nicole probably didn’t have to deal with a


    nuisance in her home.’


    Nicole looked at Jared, wanting to tell him about her parents urging her to get married sooner.


    However, they had only made brief mentions, and so, Nicole thought that it would be unnecessary to


    tell him now. As such, she changed her mind and swallowed her words.


    Suddenly, Jared’s phone rang, prompting him to catch a glimpse of the caller ID before putting his


    phone down without answering the call.


    Noticing what he did, Nicole asked, “Why aren’t you answering the call?”


    “Oh. It’s not important,” Jared said and flipped his phone over.


    Nicole paused and nced at the back of his phone. Then, she looked away.


    They arrived at the Beacon factory, where a lot of workers were cleaning up the trash inside. Nicole got


    down from the car and looked over. ’They seem pretty efficient.”


    “It’ll probably take two weeks to get everything back to normal.” Jared walked up to her and said.


    “Let’s go. Martin is still waiting for US in his office.” Nicole nced at Jared before making her way to


    Martin’s office.
