Chapter 1346

“Oh, just one! What’s wrong?” The man looked at Nicole in confusion and asked.

-Just one? One of my employees said that the person who had delivered the first batch of goods was different from the second batch. I think you can start investigating from there.” Nicole reminded him out of kindness.

“They’re not the same person?!” The man looked at Nicole, puzzled. “Don’t worry. I’ll start looking into it now. I’ll leave now if there’s nothing else.”

“Sure,” she said.

Nicole began thinking to herself after the man had left. ‘It looks like something’s wrong with the delivery man. Everything will come to light after I’ve found him.’

‘Kelly, I wish to have a look at the camera footage of the delivery man.” Nicole turned to Kelly and said.

“I’m on it,” Kelly replied.

Nicole eyed the delivery man on the screen and discovered that it was the same person who had assaulted her in the parking lot. ‘This person could be is such close proximity to me already. I guess coming here as a delivery man was just a part of his plan of ambushing me again.

‘It seems like I’ve got to take this person seriously now,’ she thought. ‘It is even more dangerous now that he could lurk around me. I need to do something.’

Nicole went on to work with the others after going back to the office. As the hours passed, the sun began to set, after which the dusk fell upon them.

Nicole then brought Kelly along to inspect the batch of goods after everybody had left, and only made their way out of the laboratory after making sure that there was nothing wrong.

Nicole drove off and went right back to Mrs. Wallace Sr.’s mansion thereafter.

“Miss Riddle, what do you feel like eating tonight?” Tia looked at Nicole and asked.

“Anything is fine. I have something to do later on. Don’t bother me if there’s nothing important.” Nicole said and headed upstairs to her room.

Tia looked at Nicole from the back curiously. ‘Why is she so serious today? Whatever. I should just mind my own business.’

Nicole went back to her room and switched her laptop on while dialing Zeke’s number at the same time. “Zeke, have you discovered anything from the photos I sent you?”

“Yeah. He’s just an ordinary salary man. There’s nothing special about him.” Zeke replied from the other side of the phone.

“An ordinary man? Has he met up with anybody recently? Or are there any sudden changes in his life as of late?” Nicole asked after thinking for a moment.

“Let me check.” Zeke looked the man up and began reading up about him.

“There’s nothing unusual about his social life, but I think one of his family members had been admitted to the hospital not long ago,” Zeke told Nicole while reading about that person.

“Admitted? Send me all of the information you have about him and carry on with your own task,” Nicole ordered, wanting to investigate it personally as she knew that Zeke would definitely be distracted with all that multitasking.

“Sure. I’ll do so right now,” Zeke said.

“I got it,” she said upon receiving the files. “Thank you so much. I’ll have a look.”

“Okay, bye.”

Then, Nicole began reading thoroughly about the person who had assaulted her.

“Hugh Bradford,” Nicole mumbled under her breath.

Zeke was right about him being another wage slave. Hugh was just a nameless dummy who did not have a lot of money. Besides, he did not even know Nicole.

‘Why would he assault me?’ Nicole thought to herself as she continued to read about him.
