Chapter 1266

"i’ll spill… Please, don’t kill me.” That person looked at Nicole, terrified.

“Go on.” “I was sent by the McCarthy family.’

“McCarthy? Do you mean Joyce McCarthy?” Nicole glared at him.

The man nodded, after which Nicole took a deep breath and lifted her foot off his chest. Then, she left the area, but not before she kicking him once more, knocking him unconscious.

Once she had left the area, she got to her car and made her way back to the mall.

“Come out, Harvey.” Nicole beckoned through the phone.

“We need more time as we’re not done yet,” Harvey replied. “Are you back already?”

“Yeah, I’m about to reach the place where I dropped you off,” she answered.

“Why don’t you come in and find us?” he asked.

’It’s okay. Just come out when you’re done. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Nicole said, not wanting to enter a mall filled with so much noise.

“You were the one who wanted to buy something for your grandma, and yet you don’t even want to get down of the car,” Harvey mumbled.

“What did you say?”

’Nothing. Well see you when we’re done.” Harvey hung up right after he was done talking to her.

Meanwhile, the person who had just been fired by Martin had left his hotel for the streets. He was on high alert, and was constantly glancing around to see if anyone was tailing him. It was evident that he was experienced in this field. In addition, he spent a lot of time walking in circles around the block before entering a quiet store.

Though he was vigilant, he was still not able to elude Jared’s men. When they saw him walking into the store, one of them stood guard at the front entrance, while the other waited at the backdoor, blocking all of his escape routes.

In the store, the man made a beeline for the furthest room, where another guy was seated, monitoring the surveillance cameras.

“Boss, I’ve been noticed.”

“You piece of sh*t!” The man monitoring the surveillance footages kicked him. “Why did you come back here, then?! Do you want to lead those people here?!”

“I’ve checked, and no one followed me here,” that person said affirmatively.

The other man glared at him before letting him go. “Get up.”

“Just keep an eye on Martin’s factory. They’re still rebuilding it, right? Just let them do whatever they have to do, as we’ve got bigger fish to fry…” he said, before whispering something into the other man’s ear.

’I see,” the man who had walked in said, i’ll head back now, then.”

“Yeah, I’ll update you on the next step.”

’Yes, boss.”

“Attention, that man just came out,” one of Jared’s men reported.

’Follow him.”

Max walked into Jared’s office to report the news to Jared. “Mr. Johnston, our men have found that the person who started the fire had just met up with another person in a store. What should we do now?”

Jared thought about it, and proceeded to order, “Don’t do anything if you can’t spot any of the McCarthys.”

“Yes, sir,” Max uttered.

“Any updates from abroad?” Jared asked Max.

“Not yet,” Max said.

Suddenly, Max’s phone rang, prompting him to quickly answer the call.
