Chapter 1355

Little did Nicole know that Jared’s men had been hiding behind the scenes, keeping an eye on the entire situation.

Harvey, on the other hand, saw the line of cars parked in front of him and recalled the live broadcast he saw at the restaurant earlier.

‘Are there other families holding their ceremony here in addition to the McCarthys?’ Harvey questioned in his mind.

The owner was already several feet away by then. Once he turned around, he found Harvey standing still right next to his car.

“Brother, why are you standing there? Follow me,” he called out, thinking that Harvey was intimidated by the sheer grandness of the ceremony.

The further they went, the more men in suits they spotted. The owner was trying really hard to coalesce into the crowd while bringing Harvey along with him. After an interminable period of attempting to push their way in, Harvey was on the verge of giving up, because his feet were repeatedly threaded on by the people around him.

Yet, he could only endure the pain quietly and squeeze through the crowd with the owner.

Suddenly, the owner halted, with Harvey trying his best to squeeze his way to the owner’s side.

Then, he whispered into the owner’s ears, “Which one of them is Ms. Jo?”

As there were too many people, the owner only managed to spot Ms. Jo on the right side after a moment of searching.

Not daring to point at her, he could only whisper back to Harvey, “Look to your right, the second lady in front is Ms. Jo.”

Harvey followed the owner’s direction, his eyes ranging to the second person on the right, and when he did look over, his gaze was locked on the aforementioned person at once. ‘Isn’t that Joyce?’

Initially, he was ready to take a quick snapshot of her, but it seemed to him that there was no need for that. After he had identified who Ms. Jo was, he immediately lowered his head in fear of being recognized by Joyce.

When the owner noticed Harvey looking down, he asked, “Why are you looking down? Have you seen her?”

Harvey turned to the owner and nodded. The owner understood him and quietly brought him back to the car.

Meanwhile, Nicole had been waiting in the car for hours, and yet Harvey had not reappeared. She had not received any emergency signals from him either. Therefore, she did not dare to get down from the car to find him. All she could do was sit and wait for him patiently After a long while, two men made their way down from the hill and approached the car. Nicole fixed her eyes on them, and saw that they were Harvey and the owner.

Seeing that they left as soon as they had entered their vehicle, Nicole started her engine as well, and tailed them from afar, with Jared’s men following them at the very end of the convoy.

In the car, the owner went on to explain all the duties and responsibilities to Harvey. He also promised him that once the job was done, Ms. Jo would definitely transfer the money over to him on time. In response, Harvey expressed his trust in the owner.

When they had reached the city, Harvey requested the owner to pull over and drop him at the side of the road. Then, he made his way into a mall.

Once the owner saw that Harvey had disappeared into the mall, he drove off. Noticing the owner, Nicole did not get down from her car in a rush to find Harvey. Instead, she sent him a text.

[He might still be watching you near the mall, so I can’t come and get you now. However, you’re not in any danger. We’ll meet at the Golden Coast Building.]

[Alright.] Harvey quickly sent her a short reply as soon as he had read the message.

Then, he pretended to act as if all was normal, and proceeded to make a few rounds in the mall before leaving.

Jared’s men, on the other hand, had followed the owner back to the restaurant. They had also reported the whole situation to Jared.

Concurrently, Nicole had returned to her office in the Golden Coast Building, and was already waiting for Harvey to meet her.

After about ten minutes, Harvey appeared outside the office building.

He was worried that the owner had followed him there, so he had not changed into his old clothes and had instead entered the building immediately. After making sure that the owner was not there, Harvey strode into the elevator and reached Nicole’s office in short order.
