'I've been raising a child on my own, so how could he have feelings for me? Is it possible...that he likes women with children?
Gah, I must stop thinking too much in that context.'
Appalled, Niki scrambled onto the seat in front of her laptop and said, "I'll figure out a way to fix your company's system. Then, I'll
try to make up for your losses..."
As Nicole typed away at the keyboard, Jared suppressed his pain, trying to relive his memories.novelebook.com 'I just want to
hold her in my embrace and teach her a lesson, but...now I'm just a stranger to her.'
Gritting his teeth, he took a seat and stared at Nicole who was on her laptop.
Niki could sense his gaze. She bit her lips while pretending to repair the system. Meanwhile, Jared took several deep breaths,
trying to calm himself down.
At that moment, his phone rang. It was a call from Max, which Jared answered after he got up and left the room.
"Mr. Johnston, the company's systems are being repaired at a very quick pace. Did you find someone to do it?" Max asked.
"It's Nicole. It should be up and running soon," Jared replied calmly.
Max breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good to know. By the way, the current information about Miss Riddle has been sent to your
email address. There's not much, but you should go take a look."
"Okay." Jared nodded and hung up before opening his email to view Nicole's information.
'Her name has been changed...to Niki...'
'For the past five years, she's been living on a small island in Ramania.' Jared thought, confused. 'I've been to Ramania several
times before and I've even hired some locals to search the island in exchange for a reward, but to no avail.'
Jared continued browsing through her personal details. 'It seems like she's acting like a completely new person without any
traces of her past. She made it look like she had no connections to Nicole, whatsoever.'
'Even if I were to see both of them with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to put my finger on this. Even after scouring the
internet for photos of Nicole, nothing has been successful,' Jared thought to himself, suspecting that someone might have
deliberately sabotaged his search.
As he was thinking about it, he opened the door, hoping to get an answer from Nicole herself.
Niki heard the sound of her front door opening and issued a sigh of relief. "Okay, I've reset the system for you. I promise you that
your system now is better than ever...but there's a small part of your old system that's still there. It's quite sturdy. It was probably
made by someone who has extensive knowledge in this area."
Niki frowned as she was briefing Jared about her analysis, feeling that the system coding was all too familiar. However, she
could still not ascertain anything.
Ever since Niki returned to San Joto, she had been getting a feeling that everything was very familiar. Prior to this, she was
afraid to return because of Jared, but now that she was living in her enemy's house, she might as well make the most out of it.
'I suppose I'll try and make the most of it to recover my memory. Besides, this man doesn't really hate me as much anymore.'
Jared stared at Nicole and mustered an inaudible sigh. 'She really can't remember anything from before. She doesn't even
recognize her own system. What can I do?'
Jared stared at Nicole affectionately, which effectively crept her out, 'What is wrong with this guy? Why does he keep staring at
me like this?'
