My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1125

"Is Jared Johnston still downstairs?" Nicole asked while looking at Martin with inquiring eyes.

"He had left when I came up."

"I thought he would follow us up too...," Nicole murmured.

"What did you say?" Martin asked, not having caught up with what Nicole had said.

"I said, our affairs can't be explained in a sentence or two. So, you should just drop it." Nicole did not even look at him and was still scrolling on her phone.

Noting that Nicole did not want to talk to him, Martin did not press further. After all, this was an issue between the two of them, and thus, it was better for outsiders to stay out of it.

"Nicole, I heard that Mr. Johnston invited you to participate in his latest project. What is that project about?" Martin asked with his head tilted.

"You heard that too?" Nicole looked up from her phone and glanced at Martin.

"Yes. Rumors has it that it seems to be a very big project, so much so that various international companies have already begun investing in it."

"You seem to know a lot, and you also know that certain things can't be spoken about in a casual way, but since you are a good friend of mine, and I can tell you about the general stuff."

"I understand."

"It is said to be a project that is very helpful to the traffic at present," Martin said, looking at her. "That's all I can reveal. Well, I guess I am socially responsible now."

Nicole laughed. "It seems so."

Then, they both looked at each other and smiled.

After the goods had all been loaded into the truck, Carl went upstairs to look for Nicole. "The goods are all loaded and set to go."

"Okay, let's go." Nicole put her phone away and stood up. "Martin, we're leaving now."

"Then let's just not risk it. Just bring Conrad Calhoun and his family in. We'll look for opportunities to capture that tattooed goon in the foreseeable future," Jared instructed over the phone.

"Yes, sir."

Claus Junkerman had led people to surround and raid Conrad Calhoun's hideout. He waited for the tattooed man to leave before he started the siege. After a few days of patient waiting, the tattooed man had finally gotten into his car and left after a conversation.

Following the tattooed man's departure, Claus and his men loaded Conrad Calhoun and his family into the truck and was prepared to transfer him to another location. Claus saw the opportunity and signaled for them to make their moves. His men then surrounded him from both sides, and soon, the guards were eliminated.

Conrad Calhoun was in the truck when he heard the fighting outside and was about to walk out to check, and that was when he coincidentally got himself into the arms of Claus Junkerman.

"Where do you think you're going?" Claus asked him, his voice low and icy.

"I just wanted to see what was going on," Conrad was scared and sat back down at once, unsure of what this group of people were doing.
