Chapter 2038


    "Mr. Walker, you may leave now. I''ll get my secretary to give you an office. Do get some rest." Everett


    came inside and said in a seemingly kind manner.


    However, his eyes werepletely void of emotions.


    "Sure," Mr. Walker said and exited the room.


    "What''s wrong?" Damien curiously asked, as he could tell that Everett was deliberately driving him


    away.


    "Dad, it''s not necessary for him to know our next course of action. After all, he has been kicked out,


    and might have been turned into a bait to lure us," Everett replied.


    His identity had been exposed, yet he still came crawling back to them. It was hard to believe that


    Nicole would not send someone over to track them, so Everett figured that Mr. Walker had be


    someone they had to be careful of. They could not trust him anymore.


    Upon hearing that, Damien realized what was happening and nodded in agreement. "You''re right. We


    can''t let him know about anything important."


    They would be the next to get into serious trouble if anything got leaked, and that was thest thing


    they needed.


    "Dad, don''t you think that there''s something strange with Nicole?" Everett asked softly.


    "What do you mean?" Damien asked, a little confused.


    To him, Nicole was still as difficult to deal with as before.


    "It''s hard to exin, but I just feel like...something is not right. Anyway, I''ll get someone to look into it."


    Everett shook his head.


    It was just his gut feeling, and he could not tell what exactly was wrong with Nicole.


    "Go ahead and do that if you''re suspicious of her. It would be in our best interest to find something


    which we can threaten her with. That way, we won''t have to be afraid of her anymore." Damien''s eyes


    shed with a sinister glint as he spoke.


    "I''ve got it," Everett said, and walked out.


    Damien leaned back on his chair with a hint of discontent in his eyes.


    However, all he could do was grit his teeth in frustration. ''It''s been five years, and yet Nicole has


    be even more difficult to deal with.''


    Soon after, the sun set, and the birds returned to their nests.


    Jared came to pick Nicole up after work, but this time, he did not take her home right away.


    Unable to help herself from being puzzled, she asked, "Where are we going?"


    "I haven''t decided yet." Jared held Nicole''s hand gently as he said.


    "We haven''t picked Nn and Lana up yet," Nicole replied, feeling a little upset. ''How could he forget


    about our kids?''


    In return, Jared smiled and exined, "Your parents went to pick them up. They said they were too


    bored at home, and wanted to pick them up, so I agreed."


    Otherwise, Jared would not have taken her out, neglecting the little ones in the process.


    Nicole was relieved upon hearing that. ''Ah, my parents went to pick them up. No wonder he was so


    calm about it.''


    "So, where are we going?" Nicole asked again, as she had not gotten the answers she wanted earlier.

    She still had enemies in San Joto, and she was uncertain as to whether it was safe for her to travel


    around like that or not.


    "Don''t worry. Everything has been taken care of," Jared replied as if he knew what Nicole was thinking.


    "Besides, your enemies are probably not capable of harming you anymore now."


    Nicole frowned and thought about what he said.


    Then, with a hint of doubt in her voice, she asked, "Are you saying that my uncles are my only enemies


    now?"


    ''I guess not, right? My uncles just don''t look like the kind who''de after me. Could it be possible that


    they hired a hitman? When I returned here previously, were the people who tried to harm me working


    for them?'' she wondered.


    Jared shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently. "I guess you can say that."


    To Jared at least, not a single person in San Joto could hurt him. The only people bothering him were


    the ones who had attempted to harm Nicole when she returned to the country back then.


    In addition, he also believed that none of the people in San Joto were capable enough to obtain any


    information earlier than him. Because of that, he could not figure out why those people could be so


    close to ending Nicole''s life as soon as she returned.
