Chapter 1948


    At that thought, Jared began fuming as he was on the verge of erupting out of jealousy.


    He immediately called Max on the phone, "I want you to glean every single detail about Nicole over the


    past five years. Also, pay close attention to signs of other guys by her side."


    Max immediately understood what Jared meant, and so, he solemnly replied, "I will definitely find out!"


    It was only then that Jared ended the call.

    Then, he looked up at the butler and heaved a long sigh. "Throw it away."


    The butler looked at Jared in distress. Ever since Nicole had gone missing, Jared had been suffering


    from insomnia. He thought that he could finally get some good sleep, now that Nicole had returned. But


    that night would most probably be another sleepless one as well.


    "Sir, get some rest," the butler said, took those papers with him, and left.


    Jared was left alone in the room as he pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to relieve his headache.


    In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Niki had been eating and drinking during those two days at


    the vi. She had even received news from Ian that he had just returned to Ramania and would soon


    find a way to save her.


    But within the two-day period, the demon, Jared, had note to find her. This made her wonder why.


    ''I''m not sure if he''s doing so to continue holding me hostage. Or is he actually waiting for me to be


    mentally ready and then make me...pay the debt with my body? No! I won''t let him. He can keep


    dreaming!'' she thought.


    Lying on the bed, Niki could not help but mutter, "I really regret this. If I had read that document, I might


    be able to regain some of my memories."


    For the past two days, she had been attempting to search on the inte for any information about


    herself. But for some reason, she could not find anything in rtion to the name, ''Nicole Riddle''.


    It was as if someone had deliberately hidden that name...


    Since she could not find out about anything, Niki could only y with theputer out of boredom.


    On the other hand, Nn had been using the otherptop to ept more tasks in an effort to level up


    on The Hunter.


    As for Niki, she could only use the previous system provided to her by Leo. She had heard that there


    was a useful electronic badge there. The only problem was that someone had locked the system.


    Initially, Leo had hired people to crack the system. However, no one was able to sessfully crack it.


    Therefore, Niki was the only one left who could give it a shot, and she knew full well how important that


    thing was to Leo.


    As to why she wished to do so, Niki had always wanted to repay Leo for the care she had been


    receiving from him over the years. That was why she had epted the task. As long as she managed


    to crack it, she would be able to fulfill her obligations to him.


    As she thought about it, Niki continued to work on cracking the system. Before long, she decided to


    take a break, during which she stood at the balcony with a cup of coffee in hand.


    She had to admit that the demon, Jared''s, coffee was delicious. It was just the way she liked it.


    All of a sudden, Niki''s gazended on a big house outside of the manor, the sight of which left her


    hypnotized.


    ''This should be that house which looked familiar from the entrance, right? Why does it seem even more


    familiar from the back? It''s as if I''ve lived there before. T-that''s impossible!''


    Niki was left in a state of shock at her own thoughts. Unable to resist, she took a closer look at the


    backyard of that house.


    Previously, it seemed as though there was ady sitting in a daze at the garden with a grandma beside


    her. The two of them seemed to be apanying each other in silence.
