Chapter 1998
Max had already acted very promptly, and yet, the people he had sent ended up coming back empty-handed
anyway. The doctor was nowhere to be found, and he had probably fled during midnight. In addition, he had not left
any clues at his home, and no one knew how he had left or where he had gone.
After knowing what had happened, Nicole's pupils contracted slightly. "If that's the case, could he already be
murdered?"
"It's possible," he replied, as they were all thinking that too.
Nicole bit her lip lightly, as though she was lost in thought. Upon noticing Nicole's silence, Jared left her be, as he
knew that she needed time to calm down.
After some time, the car slowly came to a halt as they had already arrived at the headquarters of the Riddle
Corporation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole got out of the car, and was about to say something when Jared beat her to it. 'TH come to pick you up after
work."
She paused for a moment before agreeing, "Sure."
A satisfied look flashed across Jared's face. He watched as Nicole entered the building and left.
Nicole went to the top level of the building where the highest -ranking officers worked and that was when she
spotted Sean and Steve.
They could not help but feel sorry for Nicole upon noticing the amount of documents she was holding. "You just
started working. There's no need to push yourself so hard. Take it easy."
"I..." Nicole looked at the documents in her hands. "Not all of them are related to work."
To be specific, only one of them was about work, and it was the letter of intent on cooperation that Lawrence had
given her. The other two were given to her by Jared; one was the information about the partners of the Riddle
Corporation and the other featured the details about Nolan and Lana's future kindergarten.
"Hey guys, I have something to tell you," Nicole said with a stern expression without divulging more about the
documents in her hands.
The look on Sean and Steve's faces became solemn too after hearing that.
"Let's go to your office then," Sean said.
"Sure."
Soon after, the three of them stepped foot into Nicole's office.
"About what happened to Grandpa, something went wrong with the investigation. The doctor has gone missing,"
Nicole briefly informed.
"What? What happened?" Sean and Steve asked, feeling a little shocked.
Nobody else was supposed to know that they were investigating their grandfather's medication, so they were not
expecting anyone to be alerted by their actions.
"I don't know.” Nicole shook her head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough she had thought of several possibilities, she did not have any evidence to back them up.
"Now that the doctor is gone, there's no way we can find out who's behind everything that has transpired," Steve
said in frustration.
The doctor had no reason to harm their grandfather unless he had been bribed. After all, he was just a pawn, and
discovering who the mastermind behind it all was the biggest priority.
"You're right," Sean said, agreeing that it would be very difficult for them to trace the person behind everything, as
the doctor had disappeared into the night.
"Since there's nothing we can do now, let's just report the doctor to the police. As for the mastermind..." A hint of
profound coldness flashed in Nicole's eyes before she continued. "The person who can benefit most from this is the
most suspicious. We just have to be prepared."
Sean and Steve exchanged glances upon hearing that, knowing what to do at once.
Indeed, if something horrible had really happened to their grandfather, the person who could benefit the most
would have the highest degree of suspicion. Of course, it did not mean that they were going to exclude any other
individuals who could gain something from it too.
