Chapter 1257

“Who are you talking to?” Although Martin had lowered his voice, Nicole still heard some small voices.

“What, no. Nicole, I have something to tell you,” Martin suddenly said righteously.

“What’s up?” “I’ve got some news about the day you flew back. Someone followed you from the factory and got on the same flight as you. You have to be careful and keep a close eye on the situation around you,” Martin instructed, according to Jared’s words.

“Someone has followed me abroad? All the way here?’ Nicole was a little surprised when she heard the news. She was too angry with Jared that day. She did not notice that someone was following her. “Is this reliable?” Nicole questioned.

“Yeah, it’s reliable. Mr. Johnston told me.” Martin directly reported Jared’s name without thinking too much.

It was too late for Jared to stop him from saying it. Martin looked at Jared suspiciously and thought, ‘Shouldn’t I mention his name?’

Jared squinted his eyes at him and thought, ‘The cat’s out of the bag now.

It doesn’t matter anymore.’ “Jared?” Nicole questioned.

“Yes.” Martin answered while looking into Jared’s eyes. Nicole suddenly remembered that she had missed Jared’s call just now and thought, ‘Did he call me earlier just to tell me about it? I am still angry at him but fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, I would regret it even after my death.’

“Nicole, are you still there?” Martin asked after not hearing Nicole’s response after a long time.

“Yeah, I’m still here…Did Jared come to the factory today?” Nicole asked Martin. Martin had turned the speakerphone on so Jared could hear Nicole. Martin looked at Jared and asked him how to answer.

Jared typed down on his phone and Martin replied according to Jared’s words, “He already left.” “Oh.

Martin…” Nicole wanted Martin to pass a message to Jared for her but suddenly gave up.

“What’s wrong, you can tell me.” “It’s nothing. Nothing will go wrong here. You safeguard the Beacon until I get back.’ “Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I have to get back to work.” “Okay, take care.” “Alright, bye.” After hanging up the phone, both Martin and Jared breathed out a sigh of relief at the same time. He looked at Jared and asked, “Mr. Johnston, why didn’t you tell Nicole directly?” “It doesn’t matter who says it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be off now.” Jared left immediately after finishing his sentence. Just as Jared was about to leave, Martin said, “Mr. Johnston, when Nicole asked about the McCarthy family earlier. I suddenly thought of a terrible thing.” Martin paused while looking into Jared’s eyes.

“What do you mean by that?” Jared frowned and looked at Jared, his expression seemed to be worried about something.

“The McCarthy family mentioned about coming back to worship their ancestors. There has been no news up until now and based on the news you brought here claiming that the person who followed Nicole could be…”

Martin left the sentence hanging and looked at Jared.

“You doubt the McCarthy family?” Jared got the meaning of Martin’s words and looked at him.

“It’s just a suspicion. After all, Lilly was very jealous of Nicole before and was tampering with Nicole’s medication. She had intentions to harm Nicole, and now that she’s back. She might know about Nicole’s whereabouts. It’s not impossible for her to get her revenge.” Martin was familiar with Lilly’s jealousy of Nicole.

“Lilly McCarthy did something to hurt Nicole? Jared had not heard of Nicole speaking of this before. If not for Martin today, he was afraid that he would never find out.

“Yeah. However, everything was exposed by Nicole, and she didn’t get hurt because of it. Did Nicole not tell you about it?” Martin looked at Jared with a puzzled face.
