Chapter 1272
The man swallowed, not daring to resist Nicole. He walked away timidly, and kept turning back his head back to look at
her from time to time as he did.
Soon after, the both of them entered the parking lot together, and unable to take it anymore, he turned around to face
Nicole. "Lady, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have disrespected you. I know you're a generous person, so please, forgive me this
time, for real!"
"I told you that I'll let you go right now if you'd just tell me who sent you." Nicole stared at him blankly.
"Nobody sent me! I just couldn't control my urges. Why would anybody send me to do something like this?!" Nicole was
pushing that person to the edge, and he was almost kneeling as he was.
"How about this, would you let me go if I kneel down in front of you?" The man fell to his knees in front of everyone as he
spoke.

still would not tell her who had sent him.
Concurrently, Jared's car was parked next to Nicole, and the instant he spotted the man who was kneeling down on the
ground before, he shifted his gaze to Nicole. "What's happening?"
"Why are you here?" Nicole asked him back instead of answering.
Jared could tell that Nicole was still mad at him, so he said, "Martin had something to do and couldn't make it here,
so he told me about it."
"What? I shouldn't have asked him to pick me up here," Nicole murmured under her breath.
The man kneeling down eyed Nicole and Jared from head to toe. 'Her friend is here too? I'm screwed!'
"Lady, I've learned my lesson. Please forgive me!" the man continued begging.
"There are too many people here. We should take this elsewhere." Jared glanced at the person on the ground and
said to Nicole.
In response, Nicole gave Jared a glance and got into the car.
Jared looked at Max, who immediately got the message, prompting him to bring the man into the car and leave the
place.
Knowing that Nicole would not want to return home with him, Jared got into the car and said, "To the mansion by
the beach."
During the journey, Nicole kept gazing out of the window. She did not look like she wanted to talk to Jared at all.
Meanwhile, Jared was looking over at her, as he wanted to ask her about what had happened just now. In spite of
this, he dropped the idea soon after, resulting in complete silence throughout the entire journey to the mansion.
Nicole got out of the door as soon as the car came to a halt. Then, she turned around and said to Jared, "The man
from the airport had been following me. Be sure to find out whom he’s working for."
She slammed the door shut before making her way into the mansion without displaying any intention of inviting him
in. Jared wanted to get out of the car with her, but knowing that it would not be a good idea, he withdrew his hand

Instead, he stared at Nicole's figure as it disappeared into the mansion and said, "Go to Max's place now."
Tia ran up to Nicole as soon as she entered the mansion. "Nicole! What brought you here?"
Tia was very surprised to see Nicole here. She did not see anybody coming into the mansion when she woke up moments
ago, and yet, here Nicole was, appearing out of nowhere. Tia was just astonished.
"How are you guys?" Nicole looked at Tia and asked concernedly.
"We're doing very well. Grandma was just talking about you this morning. She told me it'd be great if you could come
back today, and you really did."
"Where is she?" Nicole asked, as she did not see Mrs. Wallace Sr. anywhere in the living room.
"She's still sleeping in her room."
"I won't bother her then. I'll talk to her after she has woken up." Even though Nicole wanted to see Mrs. Wallace Sr. as
soon as possible, she did not want to disturb the old woman who was sleeping.
"Sure. You've got to be very tired, coming all the way here. Why don't you take a nap upstairs too?" Tia asked.
