Mr. Johnston Sr. was already courteous enough, so Jared and Nicole could only nod their heads in agreement. Seeing this, Mr. Johnston Sr. turned to the old butler, who immediately understood what he had meant and strutted off to prepare lunch for them happily.
"Jared, I heard that you've found Henry.” Mr. Johnston Sr. said as he shifted in his seat.
Hearing that, Jared looked at him and thought, ‘I had planned to interrogate him before letting grandpa know about this. I didn't expect that he is already aware of everything that's going on.’
"Yes, it was a struggle, but after going through a few curveballs, we found him," Jared replied.
"Where is he now?" Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at Jared and asked.
"He's on the way back. He'll be here in the next few days,” Jared replied.
Mr. Johnston Sr. seemed to be aware of the situation and everything that had transpired.
Meanwhile, Nicole looked at Jared and thought, ‘I didn't expect that he had found Henry so quickly, and even got him in custody. He really is one of a kind.’
‘Alright, report to me when he arrives. I have to interrogate him myself." Mr. Johnston Sr. said, displeased upon hearing the mention of Henry.
"Grandpa, you shouldn't get too worked up after you've just been discharged. You can leave the interrogation to me.” Jared looked at Mr. Johnston Sr. and said with a sense of assurance.
Mr. Johnston Sr. was about to protest when Nicole suddenly interrupted him, “Mr. Johnston Sr.? Jared told me that your condition isn't that stable yet, and that is why you mustn't get too riled up by this
situation, or else, you'll have to be hospitalized again if you relapse. I'm sure that you do not wish to go back there, do you?”
Nicole knew that Jared wanted to interrogate Henry himself, so she spoke up to help him out.
Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at Nicole and thought about it for a long time.
Then, he looked at Jared and fumed, "I will leave the interrogation to you, then. Make sure that you get him to explain his actions clearly and his motive behind them. Then, but him behind those bars for life."
Mr. Johnston Sr. thought angrily, ‘It's bad enough that he wanted to murder me, but what I could not understand is that he's my own son. I didn't expect that he would turn out to be such a bad apple...’
"Okay. I will do as you have instructed. You just have to focus on getting well. I will get someone to report to you about the interrogation later on," Jared said with a solemn expression on his face.
"Okay," his grandfather uttered.
Mr. Johnston Sr. then turned to Nicole at once. "What have you been up to lately, Nicole?"
Nicole looked at him with a smile and replied, "I've been researching about chips lately.”
"Chips? What kind of chips do you need? You can just buy them, right? Why do you need to research on the chips yourself?" Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at Nicole with his forehead creased.
"Grandpa, I don't think you are aware that the chip we need is not readily available in the market just yet. Because of this, I thought I could attempt to make one myself. If the research is successful, I can make a lot of money from it,” Nicole said jokingly while Mr. Johnston Sr. listened to her intently, thinking that the chips were easy to research on.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such a broad vision." Mr. Johnston Sr. praised as he looked at her.
In response, she looked at Mr. Johnston Sr. and flashed him a slight smile that was absent of any sort of pride.
"Getting to meet Nicole has been the greatest blessing for US, Jared. You should cherish her, and don't you dare lose my precious granddaughter-in- law, or else I wont ever forgive you!" Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at Jared sternly.
Upon hearing the old man calling her his granddaughter-in-law, Nicole's face turned bright red, and she darted Jared a shy glance at once.
"Don't worry, grandpa. I definitely won't lose your granddaughter-in-law,” Jared said and glanced at Nicole.
Mr. Johnston Sr. then asked Jared about the company updates while Nicole proceeded to arrange the two big bouquets of flowers.
