Chapter 1422
As Nicole’s car gradually left the town, the view around her began to turn dreary and unfamiliar.
She saw a house from afar, but she was not sure if it was the same one whose location Harvey had sent her, so she made her way over there.
When she had pulled up, she scanned the decrepit building. There were a few cars parked outside, so she walked into the building carefully.
Nicole then sent Harvey a text. [I’m here. Where are you?]
Harvey replied. [I’m in here. Come to the second floor]
Nicole looked at the spiral staircase and kept her eyes on the second floor as she walked upstairs.
The moment he saw her, Harvey went over to greet her.
“Put this mask on.” Harvey passed her a mask.
Nicole grabbed it, wore it, and turned around with her back facing Harvey. Sitting somewhere nearby was someone with a sack over his head, tied to a chair.
Nicole approached the man who had been tied up and ordered the people around her, “Take that sack off.”
Luke’s face appeared before her after his sack had been removed, and he was shocked to see two masked individuals standing before him.
He stuttered as he asked, “Who are you?! Why did you kidnap me?! 11
“You don’t need to know who we are. Just admit your recent wrongdoings if you want to live,” Harvey asked him in an altered tone of voice.
“I don’t know what you’re saying. If you’re Jared’s goons, you should know who I am by now. You’ll be better off if you release me now! If not, I’ll give you hell!” Luke threatened them, his glare fierce and murderous.
“Jared? Why would you say that we’re Jared’s people? Are you afraid of Jared because you did something terrible to him?” Harvey asked upon discovering the gap in his answer.
“I’m not afraid of him! He might not even wake up anymore, so why should I be afraid of a dead man?!”
“Don’t even try to bait me. If you don’t work for Jared, why have you captured me? We don’t owe each other anything, so what do you want?” Luke asked, deducing that they were kidnappers who were after his money if Jared was not a part of the equation.
“We just want an answer,” Nicole said all of a sudden.
“An answer? An answer to what…?” Luke looked at Nicole.
“Do you know this nurse?” Nicole showed him a picture of the woman whom Martin had found.
Luke immediately recognized the person in the picture, but he proceeded to deny it. “Nope.”
“That’s a quick response. Did you even have a good look at it?” Nicole mockingly asked, as she knew that he was lying.
“I really don’t know who this person is. If you wish to find her, why don’t you just do it? Why do you have to tie me up?”
“Have a closer look, Luke. I’m going to ask you one more time. Do you know this woman?” Nicole asked, her tone a lot fiercer than before.
Luke had many experiences with situations like this, so he was not going to admit to anything in a situation like this.
“I’ve said it already. I don’t know her. You got the wrong person,” Luke said, still attempting to deny it.
“Ah, so you’re not going to spill, huh? Fine, I’m not going to force you.”
“Guys, come over and give him a taste of the full-face mask,” Nicole ordered the bodyguards.
The bodyguards exchanged looks. As they had no idea what Nicole was saying, all of them stayed put.
“Why are you not doing anything? Come on!” Nicole ordered coldly.
“Sir, what does full-face mask even mean?” a bodyguard asked Harvey.
This was the first-time Harvey had heard that term as well, so he looked at Nicole with a slight frown and a brow raised.
