Chapter 2360
If Nicole had not injured her hand and hamstring, her agility would have gotten the both of them out unharmed today. However, she was not as skilled as she used to be. If anything, she had narrowly managed to push Lulu away and evaded the blow that would otherwise have been her undoing.
“They suspect that the ones responsible were the same perpetrators as before,” Jared said as his eyes darkened.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Do you think the same way?”
Nicole could tell that Jared was not convinced by this idea.’ Why doesn’t he believe it? Even I think that the ones who were after me are responsible for this. After all, there’s no one else in San Joto who wants me dead.’
“I just felt that if the perpetrators were the same, they wouldn’t have done it so crudely,” Jared explained.
He had suspected them once too, but an assassination attempt of such sort was somewhat amateurish. He believed that these people would not be that stupid and reckless, for a move like that would ultimately lead to mutual destruction.
Nicole fell silent, and her face blanched. “I’ve overlooked it.”
Nicole only considered the fact that there was no one else who wanted her life. That was why Nicole and her brothers thought that the ones who were after her before this were
also the ones who had struck again.
Gritting her teeth, Nicole sardonically said, “It seems like quite a few people in San Joto want me dead.”
Suddenly, three knocks were heard on the door, after which Max strode in and greeted, “Mr. and Mrs. Johnston.”
“Spill,” Jared ordered, his voice cold and low.
Max’s expression was grim when he informed, “We caught the culprit, l-lt was Snow.”
“Snow?!” Nicole was taken aback, unable to understand why Snow would do such a thing to her.
“Yes. We’ve sent her to the police. She confessed, saying she just wanted Mrs. Johnston’s life as Mrs. Johnston has made her the laughingstock of San Joto,” Max reported with frustration.
At this rate, he was beginning to wonder if Snow was mentally unstable.
“I made her a laughingstock?” Nicole asked, feeling a little puzzled, a fool out of her.
It was Harvey’s and Everett’s plan to take over DillCorp, and Snow was the one who had allowed them to make a useful idiot out of her. Nicole could not figure out how any of this was related to her, as she had not coaxed Snow into pursuing Harvey.
Max glanced at Jared, tongue tied and at a loss. “She said if it wasn’t for Mrs. Johnston, Harvey and she would have
been fine together. She was essentially blaming Mrs. Johnston for seducing Harvey.
“Well, I…” Nicole was rendered speechless at that instant, having understood the reason as to why Harvey did not want Snow to be his girlfriend.
She figured it was because of Snow’s ignorance and unbridled stupidity.
“It was probably the time when Mrs. Johnston met up with Mr. Ellison that made Snow misunderstand the situation,” Max speculated.
After all, Nicole had never once put on a smile while meeting Harvey. Thus, the only connection between her and Harvey must have been Mr. Ellison.
This left Nicole dumbstruck. ‘Oh, I sure never wish to meet Snow. Does she even have a brain?”
“Alright, you can leave,” Jared said.
“Yes sir,” Max swallowed and left the ward, having also been rendered speechless when he found out about the situation.
However, he had no choice but to report it to Jared anyway, as frivolous and ridiculous as it was.
“Ugh,” Nicole sighed. “I’m too embarrassed to even talk about this injury.”
Nicole was instantly riddled with feelings of humiliation as she had just been wounded by someone as addle-brained as Snow.
“Get some rest,” Jared changed the topic, feeling that Nicole did not have to waste her time and energy thinking about Snow.
All that mattered right now was that was able to get the rest she needed.
“Yeah,” Nicole agreed, feeling really tired after all of the commotion.
She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
By the time Nicole woke up, it was already dark outside. The growling of her belly was also particularly distinct in the dim, silent ward.
