"Perhaps this fire was a big one, so they'll need more time to investigate it. I'm not very sure either." Nicole briefly explained.

"Yeah."

"Oh right, I'm sure you guys have heard that the McCarthy family are going to visit the graves of their forefathers tomorrow, right?" Sean looked at everyone in the living room and asked.

"I've heard about it. The McCarthy family isn't a big one, and yet they have made a huge deal out of paying respects to their ancestors. It's as if they're afraid that no one will notice them. It's a bit extra if you ask me," Nicole commented with contempt.

"It is! I find it hard to believe that a fallen family would hold such a grand ceremony to pay respects to their forefathers," Steve commented in annoyance.

"Perhaps you guys are unaware of this, but the McCarthy family has established connections with a family of high social status abroad. They even became in-laws, and are doing well abroad. That's the main reason as to why they're going the whole nine yards with the ceremony. They must be thinking about salvaging whatever is left of their reputation," Jared chimed in.

"Oh, I see." Daniel uttered, as it dawned upon him that such was why the McCarthy family dared to behave this arrogantly.

"A while ago, the McCarthy family were chased out of the country by Martin. I guess part of the reason for that splendid ceremony was to rub it in Martin's face, don't you think?"

Sean looked at everyone as he spoke.

"That's possible. Who knows? The accident in that factory might have been perpetrated by the McCarthys too,” Steve commented blankly.

"You are to keep this between the family, and not talk about it with outsiders. Do you understand?" Daniel ordered Steve with a serious look on his face.

"Okay," Steve uttered.

Upon hearing Steve's comment, Nicole thought, ‘I didn't expect Steve to have that thought. Is he just running with a wild guess? Or does everyone think the same too?

"I personally don't think that it's the McCarthy family's doing. The McCarthy family in now and the past are of two distinct statuses. If they were to make a move on Martin, they wouldn't do it in secret. They could've done it publicly and still regain their reputation. There's no reason for them to pull the stunts in private,” Sean said, voicing an entirely different opinion.

Those words gave Jared a new thought, ‘Perhaps it's as Sean had said. With Joyce's current support, she could have taken revenge on Martin publicly. Why would she do it in private? What could the motive behind this be?’

Jared's eyes darkened as thoughts began racing across his mind.

‘What you said makes sense too. The McCarthy family must have some other motive behind their ceremony." Steve analyzed the whole thing with seriousness.

Still, it never crossed his mind that the other motive for Joyce's return was one of them.

As they were chatting, spencer and Samuel came waltzing in from the outside. When the both of them saw Nicole, they ran over excitedly and greeted her, "Nicole, why did you not inform US that you are visiting? That way, we would have waited for you at home."

"Didn't you see Jared here?" Daniel reminded them.

It was only then did Spencer and Samuel notice Jared sitting beside Nicole. “Hello, Mr. Johnston."

Jared looked at them and nodded.

"It was a last-minute decision too.” Nicole looked at them and smiled.

It was all Jared's idea, because if it was not, she would only plan to visit them later.

"Where did you guys go?" Nicole looked at them from head to toe.

"We were playing at the basketball court. We had a great game today, didn't we?” Samuel glanced at Spencer.

"Yes, it was exciting.” spencer immediately came to his senses and played along.

Nicole eyed their shoes and noticed that they were not wearing basketball shoes. They were not stinking of sweat either. It was obvious that they were lying.

‘Something is up with these two.’

Samuel winked at Nicole as he said. "You guys can continue chatting. We'll head upstairs and have our change of clothes."

Then, the both of them hurried upstairs.
