Chapter 1482
Nicole threw the phone back at Carl. "He's alright, but he did tell us to return home at once."
Carl blanched again. "Alright? We're definitely going to be yelled at when we get back, aren't we?"
However, Nicole had a look about her that indicated that there was no denying the fact that he was right. Those
affiliated to the crest notified were all scions of the families that had lingered for hundreds of years.
'Uncle Zane's identity has always been the subject of mystery. Even Carl and I have never asked him about it
before. However, Uncle Zane was actually included in the list of families affiliated to the Reby Family Crest. As he
was able to receive the notification pertaining to the ownership of the crest, he must be one of the legitimate scions
of one of these ancient families. He will know far more about the origins of the crest as compared to the rest of us,
and that's why I'll definitely need to return at once and get things straight with Uncle Zane in person. But Jared...
Now that the crisis has been averted for the time being, I really wish to go home and see him,' Nicole thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPreviously, Nicole did not have the courage to contact Jared, because she was worried that she would rope him into
this whole mess.
"Since Uncle Zane has issued an order, make the appropriate arrangements. We'll return to the headquarters in the
afternoon," she said.
The instant Zeke heard that Nicole was leaving, he felt uneasy. "Nicole... If you leave, what's going to happen to
me?"
'Will those people remain on my side once she has left?' Zeke wondered.
"Your father is in good hands. I'll get you on a plane back home before I leave in the afternoon," she said. "You need
to remember, even if your grandfather manages to come up with an excuse, the higher-ups might still request to
check on your father's condition. We’ll stall them for another day or two. Any longer than that, and they'll start
getting suspicious."
Zeke immediately nodded.
'Nicole does pay great attention to the smallest of details,' he thought.
Nicole thought for a moment before grabbing the watch. She then got the crest and transferred it into her watch's
system, installing it. Then, she typed a few words in.
Zeke could not help but give it a glance, and that was when he saw the first mission that Nicole had issued.
[Spare no effort in ensuring the safety of the Guzman family.]
Zeke felt his heart getting heavy, for Nicole’s first mission after receiving the crest was to protect the Guzman
family. This time around, he could not help but feel at ease.
He looked at Nicole with a gaze brimming with gratitude. "Thank you... Nicole."
"You're welcome," she replied. "I must also thank you for this valuable gift."
While it was an object that would invite untold trouble, she had to admit that it might be something useful to Zane's
organization in the future.
Zeke shook his head. "You deserve it. The person who wears the crown must bear its weight, and as of now, only
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou can bear the crest's weight."
Zeke was well aware of his own strength and capabilities, and that was why he decided that he was in no position to
bear the responsibility.
Nicole nodded and patted him in the shoulder. "Regardless, this crest is still yours in some ways, so do let me know
when anything happens, okay?”
Knowing that Nicole was not a selfish person, he nodded vigorously.
Then, Nicole shot Zeke one last glance before leaving the ward with Carl.
After that, Zeke walked up to Karlo, and in a low voice, he said, "Dad, I'll bring you home today..."
After Carl had left the ward, he went off to look for Olaf. He proceeded to explain that he needed to leave and that
the Curley Group would take over and handle the rest from here on out.
Meanwhile, Nicole finally had the chance to get some rest. After having nursed the injuries that she had sustained,
she laid down quietly.
Nicole's mind was flooded with mental images of Jared. She could not help but grab her phone to see how he had
recently been. However, she was also hesitant, as she feared that she would see Fiorella on the screen...
'Wait for me, Jared. I'll be back by your side soon,' she thought.
