Chapter 1280


    Noting the strange atmosphere, Martin hurriedly butted in to lighten the atmosphere. “As everyone is


    here, I will order them to serve US our meals.”


    He tapped the bell, prompting a waiter toe in a momentter.


    “You may start serving.” Martin instructed.


    “Yes, sir,” the waiter said.


    Kelly was also able to sense the awkwardness. She quickly got up and poured wine into everyone’s


    cups. Just then, the waiter began to serve them their food.


    “Let’s all raise our sses to Nicole, Harvey, and Kelly.” Martin took the lead in toasting them.


    Everyone then raised their sses in response, and that was when Martin said, “Wee back.”


    “Thank you.” Nicole looked at Martin and thanked him, with Harvey and Kelly doing the same right


    after.


    “You are the guests of honor today, so make yourselvesfortable.” Martin sensed that everyone was


    rather uptight, resulting in a palpable tension of sorts, so he tried to liven it up.


    “The man whom you said was tailing you at the airport has exined himself. He is just some run-of-


    the-mill creep.” Jared suddenly said, while withholding the disgusting details of what the man had said.


    Nicole turned to look at him with a frown upon hearing this. “A creep? Is that what the oue of your


    interrogation is?”


    “Yeah, you are the one who was being paranoid. It was just a misunderstanding, but I’ve already


    punished him for you,” Jared said as he looked at her.


    “I’m paranoid? A misunderstanding?” Nicole red at Jared.


    ‘Did he know that I was being followed abroad?’ she fumed. ‘If Martin hadn’t told me, I would have been


    in danger. I entrusted him with this important task, and yet he has temerity to say that I am being


    paranoid? This is totally uneptable!’


    “Jared, did you interrogate that guy properly? He followed me on the ne from Lanningbourg. If you


    can’t handle it, I will do it myself.” Nicole red at Jared.


    “I have freed him. The matter isn’t asplicated as you think.” Jared exined again.


    “Hold on a second, Nicole. What did you say? Someone followed you on the ne from


    Lanningbourg?” Harvey looked at Nicole with his eyes widened as he had only understood what they


    were talking about after hearing the conversation for a while.


    As she had already spoken about it, Nicole did not intend to hide it from Harvey anymore.


    She looked at him and uttered, “Yes.”


    “Why didn’t you tell me about it if it was a danger to you?” Harvey questioned, looking at Nicole with a


    frown.


    “The situation wasplicated. I don’t want everyone to know about it. In fact, the fewer the better,”


    Nicole exined.

    “But you can’t just not tell me. I remember, was the person you subdued on the ne the one who was


    following you around?” Harvey suddenly recalled the incident on the ne.


    “Yeah,” she replied.


    “So the danger has been around all this time,” Harvey murmured.


    At that time, he thought that the guy was just a thief, and after the authorities had taken the guy away,


    he had not given it a second thought. But now, he grew ever more perturbed when he thought about it.
