Meanwhile, Nolan quietly leaned over on a luxurious car. He was now donned in a white sleeved shirt. Nolan silently analyzed what had happened to him and Jessica. The five men had proven to be highly skilled professionals in disguise and deceit. Nolan analyzed his actions and pondered if he'd did the right thing.He'd have prevented this entire incident from escalating and becoming this intense, if only he'd taken actions prior to when he'd found out that the taxi driver was acting suspicious. However, he refrained from doing anything, trusting in his judgement.Nolan would've also been able to stop them when they arrived in front of the abandoned factory building, where the group had parked their Jeep. But, he also didn't want to expose himself too soon, hoping not to alert the other perpetrators that had instigated the abduction.What had it caused him?Jessica had almost died because of his judgement to exercise cautious.

“What?!” A few gasps echoed across the reception area. Everyone wore a look of utter shock and confusion when they heard what Deborah had just said.  “He's a thief?” Someone asked in confusion. “Really? No wonder he seemed so suspicious.” Another person added with a tinge of disgust in their tone. They all looked at Nolan with gazes of disgust and disdain.

Deborah didn't panick, instead, she took deep breaths rejuvenating herself. Her calmness returned, and she was able to assess the situation with a cool head.She realized that anything would have been the reason why Nolan stood up so abruptly.‘Maybe he's just pressed…?’ Deborah thought.She glared at Nolan hatefully, a quiet sigh of frustration escaped the depths of her throat.“Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Cindy just said? Why are you standing up, Nolan?” Deborah fired out, unable to restrain her animosity towards Nolan anymore. However, Nolan also remained silent, ignoring her as though she was non-existent.Deborah became angry instantly when she realized that Nolan was ignoring her.She decided that she was going to teach Nolan a lesson that he'd never ever forget in his miserable life.
