Chapter 2264

The police had not found any traces of Iris. This is odd. It’s as if she had vanished into thin air.

“Mr. Johnston, do you think Lawrence had a hand in hiding her?” Max asked, his face displaying hints of skepticism.

“No.” Jared remained calm, knowing that Lawrence had long washed his hands of Iris, and would not help her let alone hide her.

Max frowned. “Then where on earth could she be?”

While San Joto was a huge place, for the police to scour for her would not be that difficult of a task. ‘But why is there no news about her at all?’

Nevertheless, Jared was confident. “She’s bound to show up sooner or later.”

‘Iris can keep hiding like this, but sooner or later, she will show up. I just have to wait for that moment.’

Max agreed with a nod, understanding where Jared was coming from. “I will have someone keep a lookout.”

“On the other hand, Lawrence’s side seems awfully quiet these days.” Jared’s eyes darkened with doubt.

“Yeah. They aren’t doing anything. All they’ve been doing is contacting their offices abroad. It’s probably to cut their losses,” Max replied.

Jared snorted. “Cut? Oh there’s no way he will recover from that.”

‘How can he even think of backing off? Does he think everything will end when he flees?’

“Mr. Johnston, do you mean…”

Jared cut Max off. “Take all of their projects.”

“Yes, sir.” Max said, his voice bordering on a yelp as he was unable to contain his happiness.

He was eager to take Genesis Group down.

The adrenaline from taking their enemies down were the little joys that gave Max the push to go on.

After all, they were the ones who had initiated the fight.

Soon, the car came to a stop, and when Jared saw Nicole coming out of the building, his gaze immediately softened up. Nicole jogged up to the car and got in, putting a smile on his face.

“Nice timing.’ He reached out and pinched her cheek.” There’s no need to rush, I’ll always wait for you.”

A playful look flashed across Nicole’s face “Aren’t you such a charmer. Did you do something wrong?”

“No,” Jared replied with a serious look.

This stunned Nicole for a moment before she burst out laughing. “I was joking. Why are you taking it so seriously?”

“There’s no joking in any of this.” Jared fondled her hair, showing his sincerity and seriousness in the conversation.

A smile flashed across Nicole’s eyes, melting Jared’s heart at once. ‘She looks so cute!’

“How’s the company doing recently?” Jared looked down at Nicole and asked, changing the topic.

“It’s going well.” Nicole shrugged before looking at Jared.” Why are you asking this?”

“Just asking.” Jared maintained the solemn look on his face as he was not asking the question lightly and was truly concerned about her.

“By the way. The other Riddles are quite busy. Snow joined DillCorp just to get closer to Harvey and Harvey was having a deal going on with Everett. I’m just curious as to who will get to be paired up.”

Nicole curled her lips into a smile as she enthused.

“You truly are something…” Jared shook his head playfully.

Taken aback by Jared’s response, she gave him a blank look. “I’m talking about them.”

Jared knew that all three of them were scheming and wanted control of everything.

“With you here, they can’t ever have things go their way,” he replied.
