Chapter 1347
Soon after, Nicole began to notice something about the man. Hugh's grandfather was suddenly diagnosed with a serious
illness. He had attempted to borrow money from all of the banks he could find, but to no avail. Days later, however, a
huge amount of money were deposited into his bank account, and the sum was what he had used to pay for his
grandfather's operation.
'Why would an average person suddenly receive so much money? I'm sure there is more to it..." Nicole could not help but
frown as she read the documents.
She immediately did what she could and located where Hugh was. She found out that he was in the hospital.
She looked at the time and thought that it would already be too late for her to make her way there, so she continued
perusing the information that Zeke had sent her.
On the other side, Jared had just returned to his mansion. It was all dark and he knew that Nicole had gone to Mrs.

Because of this, he figured that he would have to spend the night alone.
He marched straight to his bedroom. Then, he took his phone out and gave Nicole a video call.
Nicole was still reading through the information when that happened. She picked her phone up and looked at it after
hearing the notification sound.
Seeing that it was Jared who was video-calling her, she hesitated and sighed. Tm just going to leave it.'
However, she did not realize that her fingers had accidentally tapped the green icon when she placed her phone
away.
Nicole went on to read the documents, not knowing that the call was already connected. Jared could not see Nicole
anywhere on his screen. All there was, was a sheet of white. He looked at it closely and realized that it was the
ceiling.
'Why did she put the phone aside after accepting my call?' he thought, is she giving me the cold shoulder on
purpose?'
After waiting for some time, Jared could only hear the clacking from the keys on the keyboard and the mouse.
Not able to wait anymore, he took the initiative to speak first, "Why aren't you talking after you've picked up?”
Nicole, who was totally concentrated on reading the information was startled when she heard Jared's voice coming
out of nowhere. She immediately darted her eyes to the door as she thought that he had come to her place.
However, the door was shut, and she could not see Jared anywhere.
She furrowed her brows as she attempted to figure out what was happening. "What's going on?! Am I
hallucinating?"
Jared could not stop himself from laughing after hearing the way Nicole was talking to herself. "What are you
talking about? Are you putting on a show for me?"
Nicole stood up instantly after hearing Jared's voice again, after which she checked every corner of the room
nervously. 'Has Jared installed some hidden camera in here?*

"Of course. Could you let me look at you while you speak?” Jared asked.
'What does he mean? Can he not see me? Is it because of the angle?' Nicole began assuming things.
’How am I supposed to do that?" Nicole asked. 'I guess I just have to find where the camera is.'
Jared, who was holding his phone, was shocked by what Nicole had just said. 'What is she talking about?’
"Can't you just lift your phone up?" Jared asked in confusion.
"My phone?” Nicole then went up to her phone and looked at it. "What's happening?"
She did not remember accepting the call, and as such, she had no idea what was going on.
"Nicole, what are you doing?" Jared asked with a puzzled look on his face.
All he wanted to do was look at her, but what she was doing truly got him stumped.
'Jared, why was the call connected?" Nicole asked him another question instead of answering him.
"You should be asking yourself that." Jared looked at her.
'Did I touch my phone accidentally?' she asked herself. 'Whatever, it doesn't matter, as long as he didn't do anything to
my room.'
'Why did you call?" Nicole glanced at Jared and asked.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to look at you,” Jared said frankly.
