My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1975

At this time, Lawrence acted unfamiliar to Jared. He walked over and stretched out his hand. "Mr. Johnston, it's been a while."

Jared's face hardened. He did not extend his hand.

Nicole was surprised when she noticed the tension. "You guys know each other?"

'For the past five years, Leo had been taking care of me, but did they know each other?'

Jared's expression was stone cold. He smiled cruelly. "We're not just acquainted. He once helped me transport some things back to San Joto before... novelebook.comand now that my wife had gone missing, it was him who found her back for me."

'Jared's wife?' Nicole looked at Lawrence suspiciously, thinking that he would be taken aback but Lawrence looked calm.

"I'm afraid that there's been some misunderstanding between us two. Why don't we have a talk about it?"

Everyone in the room was stunned to see Lawrence and hearing what Jared had said, everyone left their food untouched. The butler cleared up the table and everyone moved to the living room and sat down.

Jared sat across from Lawrence. With an unpleasant expression, he asked, "Now can we talk about it?"

'Nicole had been missing for five long years, it's so obvious that he had kept her hidden for this long. I want to see what kind of excuse he could make up this time...'

When Jared left Ramania, he had assigned Lawrence to the matter. It was unexpected that Lawrence had stabbed him in the back like this.

'He's the reason why Nicole and I were separated for five years!'

Lawrence was silent for a moment before speaking up. "Mr. Johnston, do you know how powerful Ms. Riddle was back then? But now, Niki is just a normal single mother. Of course, by right, I wouldn't want her to be with someone who is unable to protect her. I have to admit I am a tad bit selfish."

As soon as these words came out, all of Jared's flaws were brought to light. Jared reminisced on his past regrets of not protecting Nicole well enough. The pain and regret went deep into his bones, like a wound that would not heal, and to have it picked on by Lawrence, the pain was unbearable.
