I am a quadrillionarire chapter 2610-“I tried searching online too, but couldn’t find anything,” Nicole said, sounding disappointed. ‘Will we ever get any clues?’
“Do you think they might be from somewhere other than San Joto?” Maximillian pondered. ‘We need to search worldwide. I’m sure we can find these people.’
“After Nicole’s incident, everyone believed she was dead. Why would anyone continue to pursue her? She was attacked the moment she set foot in San Joto,” Jared said, shaking his head. The pieces just were not fitting together.
“There’s someone who knows,” Maximillian replied, looking at Nicole. “Where have you been these past years? You might’ve been spotted.”
“I was living on a remote island with just regular fishermen. They had no idea who I was,” Nicole replied. Why would anyone there want to harm me?’
“You mean there weren’t any outsiders on the island?” Maximillian asked, looking more puzzled as he felt the situation getting weirder.
“I met Lawrence on the island, but after that…” Nicole’s voice faded. Lawrence had filled in the blanks of her memory. As far as she knew, only Lawrence was aware she had come to San Joto. Her face paled, her mind racing.
‘Could it be Lawrence? But he saved me, even got hurt doing it.’
A shiver ran through her until a comforting hand took hers. Nicole squeezed it briefly, then gently released it. She took a breath, giving Jared a shaky smile. “I’m alright, just got a little shaken up.”
She thought, ‘I can’t doubt Lawrence now, not after everything. With all that went down at the hospital, I’m just a bit frazzled. That’s all.’
’Lawrence doesn’t want her to remember,’ Jared thought.’ The investigation’s still ongoing. Jumping to conclusions won’t help. I’ll wait for Max’s report.’
Gently squeezing Nicole’s hand, he suggested, “How about we grab a bite?”
Jared could sense the storm of emotions raging within Nicole. Yet, she recovered quickly.
‘Considering Lawrence once saved her, it makes sense she’d trust him,’ he thought. But his skepticism grew.’ Lawrence? I’m determined to uncover the truth. Whether he’s involved or not, I’ll find out who’s responsible.’
Judging by their expressions, Maximillian had a good idea of what was happening. He paused briefly, and then decided not to mention it again. ‘They can handle it. I’ve said what I needed to. It’s their call now.’
After dinner, Maximillian, Nolan, and Lana played together, filling the living room with cheerful laughter. Nicole and Jared, seated on the couch, smiled, touched by the heartwarming scene.
The front door opened, revealing Max. Jared caught his eye and then headed upstairs. Taking the hint, Max quickly followed. In the study, Max said, “I found some stuff.” He handed Jared a file and waited.
Jared flipped through the file, his face showing a mix of surprise and suspicion when he saw a particular name.” Hanwick Ferguson?”
“That’s the doctor Lawrence talked to. The papers seem legit, but we think this Hanwick Ferguson might be fake,” Max said, his expression serious. “We’ve also found some people who might know about him.”
With a stern voice, Jared said, “Go on.” He thought to himself, ‘If this doctor isn’t real, then he’s definitely with Lawrence.’
