Chapter 1281
"Actually, you could have dropped me a hint. I shouldn't have taken Kelly off the plane and left you at the airport by
yourself." Harvey said, regretting what he had done at that time.
Kelly was left stunned and frozen upon hearing what they said and looked at them in shock.
"It's all behind US. Am I not sitting here fine?" Nicole said, forced to assure Harvey that she was fine.
"Mr. Johnston, why did you let that man walk free after Nicole told you that the guy was the one who was stalking her?"
Harvey suddenly pointed his finger at Jared, questioning him sternly.
"Harvey, I did what I did. Don't poke your nose into that which does not concern you and mind your own business," Jared
said with a blank stare.
"Nicole's business is my business. I was on that flight back with her, so I had the responsibility to deal with any threats to
her," Harvey retorted.

"Harvey, let me take care of this." Nicole gestured for him to stay out of it.
Harvey shot Nicole a glance and could only keep his rage down.
"Jared, since you've let the man loose, you're responsible for capturing him and handing him back to me.
Otherwise, I won't be done with you." Nicole turned to look at him, her eyes fierce and her demeanor stern.
"Don't you believe anything I say to you now?" Jared turned to meet Nicole's eyes.
"We are all friends, so don’t get so worked up. There are some details in this matter that we're not aware of, and I
believe that Mr. Johnston will not let a scum loose by mistake.’ Martin hurriedly stood up to mediate as soon as he
noticed them saber-rattling.
’Martin, you have no business defending him here. This matter doesn't concern you." Nicole glanced at Martin.
"Oh well, Mr. Johnston, I guess I have no choice but to tell her about it in this situation."
Martin could not help it. If he did not tell Nicole the truth, the misunderstanding between them would only deepen.
"Don't say it," Jared interjected.
"Stop pretending here. Just get that guy back and I will let it slide." Nicole said, as she did not want to make things
difficult for Jared either.
She was just too eager to find out who was trying to harm her.

"Nicole, the fact is, it was Mr. Johnston who gave me the information I forwarded you before, and that includes the
day when we spoke. Mr.
Johnston was right there with me. Although I have not seen the guy who followed you, do you think Mr. Johnston would
simply allow someone who wants to hurt you on the loose?" Martin spoke with emotion about what Jared had been doing

Nicole's eyes shrank as she heard this. 'I didn't know that all that information came from Jared. He has done so much for
me. Why have I suddenly stopped believing in him? Was I really blinded by impulse?'
After a long pause, Jared said, "This is a reception, so let's not talk about that. It has been a long time since we have had
dinner together. Let’s get back to the topic of the day."
"Right, what we have today is a reception. Let's talk about something happy. ” Martin quickly echoed with a smile.
"I was getting too emotional earlier. I'm sorry for ruining everyone's mood." Nicole raised her glass in a toast and downed
it.
Everyone else followed by raising their glasses and took a swig before the tension in the room died down.
Nicole hesitated before picking her glass up and turning to look at Jared.' Why do you always do stuff that causes
misunderstandings? You are obviously helping me out behind my back, but you don't tell me, and you never allow others
to say it out loud either. Do you have this knack for being an unsung hero?"
Jared could tell that Nicole was being petulant with her, so he lifted the corners of his mouth into a smile, unfazed by
what she had just said. He knew that letting the man go scot-free would surely raise Nicole's hackles, but he could not
tell her the truth about the man, as it would be embarrassing for her. Hence, he would rather put up with a
misunderstanding with Nicole. He knew that she would come to understand what he had done one day, but he did not
expect that day to come so soon.
