Chapter 2185
'Why? Why does it seem like it didn't affect him at all?! He has obviously seen my email, and Max even came to the
restaurant. It's obvious that my plan was a success, but how is this the outcome?!'
Iris racked her brain, unable to understand the reason as to why Jared was unfazed. This made her boil as she
gritted her teeth.
'I've waited here all afternoon like an idiot, and this is the outcome of my plan?! Why does he care so much about
her?! What tricks did Nicole have up her sleeve?!' she fumed.
Iris' eyes became even darker as she continued gritting her teeth in anger.
Meanwhile, Jared and Nicole were heading toward the Riddle residence.
"Max went to the restaurant where I was having lunch. Did something happen?" Nicole asked, her voice filled with
curiosity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe moment Nicole saw Max, her first instincts informed her that something had happened. Seeing that Max did
not take the time to greet her and just happened to be busy looking for something, however, Nicole had brushed it
off.
However, now that Nicole was with Jared, she was puzzled over the entire incident earlier during lunch.
"Someone was tailing you at the restaurant. I had asked Max to go over to check it out." Jared's eyes turned frosty.
"Tailing me?" Nicole was shocked. 'Could it be my enemy? I didn't sense that there was anything off then...'
"Someone took a photo of you eating with Martin and sent it to me." Jared replied without mentioning the other half
of the story as he believed that Nicole could connect the dots.
Nicole, who was quick to understand, frowned. "It couldn't be the paparazzi, could it? I guess they wanted to extort
a little bit of cash from you."
'Who in the right mind would have the time of the day to take garbage pictures of Nicole having lunch with Martin?'
he thought.
"Perhaps Max arrived a little late, and so, he couldn't find any suspicious characters there.” Jared's eyes glinted with
ice. 'I will find this person and deal with them once and for all. I can't risk this person being near Nicole in the future.
Nobody's going to get away with this again.'
"Since the culprit was at the restaurant earlier, I'm sure they had left a trace or two." Nicole furrowed her eyebrows
and whipped her laptop out.
With that gesture, Jared understood what Nicole was up to.
In no time, Nicole had already hacked into the restaurant's surveillance system. There were quite a number of
patrons eating at the restaurant at the exact same time when they were having lunch.
Nicole scanned through the surveillance clips but was unable to identify anyone suspicious. Still, there was a hint of
skepticism in Nicole's eyes as she turned to look at Jared.
"Are you sure that person was in the restaurant?"
"The phone came from that perspective...,' Jared pointed out as he took a glance at her laptop screen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It should be in that direction."
Nicole quickly zoomed in on the surveillance footage and took a good look at the guests sitting at the tables in the
corner. 'All of them seem to be eating and chatting as they normally should. None of them were looking in my
direction... except...1
Nicole replayed the surveillance quickly and found a woman sitting in the corner. However, the moment Max
entered, the woman had quickly gotten up and rushed toward the bathroom without coming out later on.
Nicole stared at the woman's figure. She could not put her finger on who the woman was, but she did look oddly
familiar. The woman was wearing a huge pair of sunglasses too, so Nicole could not get to identify her facial
features properly.
"I didn't expect it to be a woman...," Nicole snorted.
'Now everything seems to make sense as to why she did this. The woman bolted when she saw Max enter the
restaurant. For a dimly lit restaurant, she was wearing a pair of sunglasses worth around two to three hundred
dollars.' Jared frowned. 'How is it a woman? Who could this be? Max! I
'Right. When she saw Max, she immediately left. This person must be acquainted with Max. That rules out the idea
that she was a paparazzi. It must be someone close to Jared,' Nicole thought to herself.
