Chapter 1294


    The suburbs?” Nicole frowned and looked at Jared.


    “No wonder there are no traces of her activity on the inte. The signal in the suburbs must be pretty


    poor, right?”


    In Nicole''s imagination, the suburbs which Joyce was staying at must be a remote and secluded ce


    with no residents. it''s not like how you imagine. I think the reason as to why she isn''t on the inte is


    that she doesn''t want to give her location away." Jared calmly analyzed.

    After Nicole had heard Jared''s analysis, she lowered her head and began to think. ''What he said


    makes sense too. The McCarthy family had publicly announced that they''re returning to their


    hometown. Why would Joyce hide her whereabouts?"


    ‘Jared, there''s one thing which I don''t understand. The McCarthys have already made the


    announcement that they''re going back to their ce of origin. Why would Joyce go into hiding?" Nicole


    frowned and asked Jared.


    "I guess she must be harboring some sort of unspeakable secret," Jared blurted out.


    ‘Yeah, that must be the case." Nicole agreed.


    "Jared, what has Joyce been doing recently?" Nicole continued to question Jared.


    "She has been behaving well. Other than going to the gym on a daily basis, she doesn''t go anywhere


    else." Jared told her everything he knew about Joyce.


    "Gym..." Nicole murmured.


    ‘Could there be something odd about the gym as well?" Nicole guessed.


    ‘I''ve sent someone there to investigate it. If there are any updates, I''ll let you know," he replied.


    "Nicole, are there any interesting stories from when you were abroad? I''d like to hear them.” Jared


    smiled, easing his way into the topic about everything that had happened abroad.


    "When I was abroad? I guess the best thing that happened to me on this trio was that I went on a


    shopping spree,’ Nicole recalled, as the shopping trip was the most interesting that had happened to


    her.


    "Shopping spree? Tell me more," Jared said, following his instinct. He felt that something must have


    happened during that shopping spree.


    Nicole did not register this, but she was falling for Jared''s trap.


    "The other day, the three of US went shopping. While we were walking, a child suddenly appeared out


    of nowhere and tackled Harvey to the ground. At that moment, Harvey just couldn''t stop crying.’ Nicole


    burst into an incessant gale ofughter as she recalled the experience.


    Watching Nicole’sughter, Jared looked at her in confusion. "Is it that funny?”


    Nicole looked at him and nodded. Then, she continued with her fits ofughter on the couch.


    Initially, he wanted to find out if Harvey had done anything that had crossed the line. However, it


    seemed to him that Harvey had been making a fool out of himself in front of Nicole.


    After a few minutes, Nicole finally stoppedughing, "You should get back to work. Am I being a


    distraction to you here?"


    "It''s still fine." Jared got up, walked to his desk, and continued working until noon came around.


    Then, he got up from his desk and turned to Nicole, "It''s already noon. Let''s have lunch together."


    "Okay." Nicole shut herptop down and left the office with Jared.


    At the restaurant, Jared had ordered a few of her favorite lunch dishes.


    "Are you going to stay and apany me in the afternoon?” Jared asked Nicole.


    "I was thinking of visiting Harvey and checking out the site in the afternoon. " Nicole blurted out, as she


    did not find anything odd in that statement.


    ‘You wish to visit Harvey?" Once Jared heard Harvey''s name, he began to feel on edge.


    "Yeah. I n to move out right after lunch.” Nicole added.


    She had no clue that Jared was acting weirdly.


    "Why are you in such a hurry?” Jared stopped eating and asked.
