Chapter 1548
But the instant Nicole thought of Scott, she let out a sigh.
Prior to this, she had left him just like that. Scott might not be aware of it yet, but the collaboration between them would
have to end soon. There was little to be gained in forcing the both of them to work together any longer.
Without thinking too much into it, Nicole left the Golden Coast Building.
But just as she reached the lower floor and stepped out of the elevator, she bumped into Harvey, who was on his way in.
Harvey did not seem to be in a good condition. He looked like he had not slept for the entire night as he walked forward
with the large, heavy bags under his eyes. However, a fleeting glimpse of light flashed in his tired eyes as soon as he saw
her.
Nicole proceeded to ignore the look on his face, even if she had noticed it.
Harvey then went up to her, and in a faint voice, he asked, “You're here this early?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDuring the night before, Harvey had not been able to sleep because of her. But when they met again that morning, he
did not have the heart to ignore her.
“Yes." Nicole nodded.
Instantly, a sharp pain radiated across his eyes.
Nicole noticed the look in his eyes and began to feel a little uncomfortable.
In response to that, she simply said, "Thank you for the help you've given Kelly and the rest. Our research has
ended today, so we'll be moving out in three days."
'She was serious about what she said yesterday,' Harvey thought, his expression turning stiff.
His heart was heavy and aching, as if a rock was pressing against it. However, his pride prevented him from
pleading to her.
All he replied was, "Okay."
"That's all. I'm leaving."
As soon as Nicole had spoken, she turned around and left.
Having seen how merciless Nicole was to him, Harvey knew he could not stand her treatment toward him anymore.
He turned around the left in anger. He did not want Nicole to think of him as a worthless person by bugging her.
Meanwhile, Nicole had just walked out of the building when she saw a text from Zeke on her phone.
Remembering that Karlo was still in bad shape, she began to wonder how he was doing. Perhaps, she should pay
them a visit. And visit them she did, when she turned the car around and headed straight to the Guzman family
manor.
The Guzman family was a military family, and so, it would make sense that their family manor was located at the
very top of the row of villas belonging to members of the army. After Nicole's car had passed the first curve, she
saw a checkpoint.
Having guessed that Zeke had prepared for this, Nicole announced her name, "Nicole Riddle."
Once the guard had heard her name, he removed the barricade, allowing her to enter. After passing through seven

The servant of the Guzman family had been at the entrance, waiting for hours.
Upon noticing her arrival, the servant welcomed her politely, and with poise, he said, "Follow me, Miss Riddle."
Judging from the servant's straight posture and meticulous bodily movements, Nicole could tell that he was a soldier too.
Even the guards on the road were of military background.
With that said, regular people would never be able to enter the Guzman family manor with ease. Even if Nicole and Carl
were to sneak into that place, they might not be able to escape.
Soon after, the servant brought her past the open-air corridor to a three- story building which was well hidden within the
backyard.
Nicole glanced over, instantly knowing that the exterior of the building was patrolled by countless security details and
guards. 'So, the manor in the middle is actually the Guzman family's real house.
After she had entered the hall, the servant led her into an elevator, which brought them up to the hall at the highest
level.
In contrast to the exterior where soldiers and guards were on high alert, the interior was not as intense. The place was no
longer lined with watchful eyes like how it was out there. Instead, the atmosphere within seemed a lot more home-like.
"Nicole!"
