My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1498

Zane's words shocked Carl. He was glad that Nicole had managed to secure the crest before anybody else. Otherwise, the consequences would be unfathomable.

"Looks like we've got to find out who attacked Nicole and robbed us of the Braves. We can only start striking back after we've figured their intentions out," he said.

Jared's gaze was vengeful. He would not spare a single soul who had been involved in the assault against Nicole. In fact, he would chop the masked man in black into a million pieces if he ever found out who he was.

"Yeah, Uncle Zane. You should assemble a team to retrieve the Braves as soon as possible," she said.

The technology used in Braves were developed by the Turmann family. Serious trouble would arise if someone else managed to reverse engineer it.

"I already did that, but that ship disappeared right after it had arrived at the open sea. They destroyed the tracking device too, so it's not working anymore," Zane said with a look of dismay.

However, as troubled as he was, he stood up and continued anyway. "Just leave it to me. You're now the owner of the crest, and the entire organization will be under your command. All you need to do is keep yourself safe."

Carl looked at Nicole anxiously. "You'll only be safe after we've captured and neutralized our enemies..."

Jared's gaze swept across Carl. "Worry for yourself. I'll protect her."

Jared was eager to find out who was bold enough to mess with him and his loved ones.

Zane then eyed Jared with a look of concern. "Our top priority now is to bring Nicole back to your territory as soon as possible. After all, it'll be difficult for a dragon to crush a snake in its own domain. I'm afraid that you're in danger too.

Indeed, Jared was still not in his best of health and above anything, he needed rest.

"Yeah. We'll be on our way in an hour," Jared replied.

Carl looked at Nicole playfully after he saw how downcast Zane was when he left the room. "Uncle Zane doesn't dare to give you any orders anymore. Come to think of it, you're not only the owner of the crest. You'll soon be Uncle Zane's superior too."

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "Don't spout that kind of hogwash. Uncle Zane will beat you up if he hears it."

Carl burst into a gale of laughter, as his mood had significantly improved after Nicole had woken up. "I don't care about anything but you. I have nothing to worry about as long as you're safe."

His gaze looked so sincere, that it reminded Nicole of the time when he got dragged away while he was professing his love to her. And just like that, things took a romantic turn in the room.

However, Carl felt a sudden chill running down his spine as he saw Jared's sharp gaze directed at him through his periphery.

Carl immediately fell silent. He felt that Jared's presence was so oppressive that it was practically suffocating him...
