My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 2722

Chapter 2722

"I find it rather surprising that he thinks you'll just sit idly by and watch as he pulls his tricks on Ellar," Patricia observed.

The situation in the Riddle family was equally as complex as the situation that had yet to be uncovered, making it exceedingly difficult to solve.

"It's obvious they got someone who knows me well to do this," Nicole assumed.

'If the person who had planned all of this wasn't aware of how everyone works, they would not have resorted to doing something like this,' Nicole surmised.

"Know you? Everyone in San Joto knows and has heard about you, but the people who would dare to screw with you..." Patricia trailed off with a look of confusion plastered on her face. Judging by the circumstances at the moment, Nicole could not think of anyone else who would do such a thing except for Damien.

He has been keeping under the radar for quite a while now. Does he really think that he'll be able to get away with it by maintaining his silence?' Nicole thought before standing up. "Let's pay a visit to Johnston Group," Nicole declared.

"Yes, Ms. Riddle," Patricia agreed, and quickly followed Nicole out of the office right away.

Lulu, who happened to be passing by, asked, "Where are you guys going?"

"We're going to Johnston Group," Nicole curtly said.

Having understood what was going on, Lulu did not question further as she watched the two disappear from view.

Soon after, the duo of Nicole and Patricia arrived at the headquarters of Johnston Group

As expected, Jared was surprised to see Nicole walking up to him. "What brings you here? Did something happen?"

Jared scrutinized the look on Nicole's face, and noticed that she was both bitter and furious. 'Did something terrible happen?'

Nicole handed the letter over to Jared and said, "I received this today in the courier."

Jared grabbed it, and once he too had read it, his expression soured at once. 'This bastard really has the balls to challenge us, it seems.'

"I'm guessing this person is someone who knows us to some degree. Otherwise, they would not have resorted to doing something as childish as this," Nicole stated. "Harvey Ellison? Damien Riddle?" Jared guessed.

Nicole looked up at Jared and stared at him for a while." Harvey probably wouldn't do something as stupid as this and Damien, on the other hand, has been holed up for god knows how long now."

'I can pretty much guarantee that Harvey wouldn't do such a thing but Damien? I can't think of anyone else aside from a pain in the ass like him,' Nicole thought.

"Perhaps he got someone to do it for him," Jared posited.

"Yeah? The point is that he has not been in contact with anyone from the outside so how could he order anyone to do it?" Nicole queried.

Nicole was certain that it was Damien, even though her intelligence had found nothing suspicious when they were surveying him.

"If there's a will, there's a way," Jared replied.

'There is a possibility that he's worried about getting caught so he has resorted to doing things off the grid,' Jared thought.

It was then that Nicole asked, "What should we do now?"

Nicole was the sort of person who would not be able to sit around and watch as the people around her get hurt.

However, the person threatening knew her well and had gone as far as to employ psychological warfare to toy around with her.

Jared raised his eyebrows and with a smirk on his face, he asked, "Don't you already have a solution in mind?"

Jared trusted that Nicole already had a strategy prepared in anticipation of an event like this. Otherwise she would not have come to seek his help. After all, they had both promised to not make any decisions on their own prior to this.

'I guess she came to me because she did not want to fall into their trap,' Jared inferred.

Perplexed, Nicole stared at Jared. "It's just a gut feeling that I had. I can't just ignore it now, can I?"

Nicole had set her mind on finding ways to overturn the situation. However, she did not have the slightest idea on how to do so, hence the need to pay Jared a visit.

Jared reached out and reeled Nicole in for a long embrace, which she stayed in.

"Since you have decided to, we shall leave it to Patricia and Charlie to handle this," Jared murmured.
