Chapter 2425
Lulu kept her eyes on Harvey until he had stepped out of the restaurant.
Then, she issued a sigh of relief, "Finally, he's gone."
"Let's eat. We need to head back after we're done eating." Nicole remained calm, as if Harvey's appearance had
not affected her at all.
Lulu looked outside again, and in a soft voice, she asked," What do you think happened between Mr. Ellison and
Harvey? They seem to be behaving oddly."
The two of them had never thought of looking for Mr. Ellison when they decided to go to the restaurant. All they had
in mind was to have lunch and return to the office.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into Harvey, who proceeded to harass them. So, they had come up with a last minute
decision to find Mr. Ellison, just so they could get him to chase Harvey away. Little did they know that they would
happen upon an unexpected discovery.
Such was probably why Mr. Ellison had been staying in the institute recently. He had even moved his belongings into
the institute now. Therefore, it would not be a stretch to say that the two of them had issues with one another.
"You've been living in San Joto all this time. Have you heard anything?" Nicole queried.
Nicole did not remember anything. After all, she had not been living in San Joto for five years already, and thus, she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwould not know much even if she still remembered everything. At this point, it was a question of whether was up to
date with whatever had happened between the Ellisons or not.
Lulu shook her head. "I really don't know anything."
Whatever Lulu knew about was pretty much public information, and that was Harvey had taken over everything
from the Ellison family in a short span of time while Mr.
Ellison had retired and was enjoying his life free of most responsibilities. He was satisfied with watching over the
institute.
Nicole pursed her lips and said, "There is definitely something wrong. I'll ask Jared about it when I get back."
She thought that Jared would know something about it.
After all, Jared had collaborated with Mr. Ellison when it came to a myriad of projects, all of which were discontinued
because of Harvey.
"Jared might know something about it." Lulu nodded.
"Let's eat." Nicole smiled.
"Alright." Lulu nodded and continued eating in peace.
When they came out of the restaurant after lunch, Nicole turned her gaze to the Royal Creek Institute, her eyes
darkening.
Although she did not remember much about the past, she had an inexplicable feeling about the place from the two
encounters she had with Mr. Ellison. These meetings had given her a better understanding about who she was and
everything that had occurred here.
With Mr. Ellison's prominent status, and Harvey's outstanding performances, they should be prancing around in high
spirits. Yet, Mr. Ellison appeared to be deeply hurt within. This had led Nicole to believe that something
heartbreaking must have happened between Mr. Ellison and Harvey.
"Nicole, let's go," Lulu called out upon noticing that Nicole was not getting into the car.
Nicole regained her composure and got into the car, whereupon they drove off and headed back to the
headquarters of the Riddle Corporation.
"Why do you think Harvey spotted you and followed you there today? I don't think he was here just to watch you
eat. Is it possible he was here because of DillCorp and NandoCorp?" Lulu asked.
After all, Harvey had only left them alone after they had asked Mr. Ellison to come over. Otherwise, Harvey would
not have allowed them to eat in peace that easily: he must have looked for them with some sort of ulterior motive
in mind.
"At the very least, he's here to get a scoop on what's going on," Nicole replied calmly as if she had read Harvey's
mind.
"Is he worried that we'll side with DillCorp?" Lulu frowned. With Harvey proactively aiding Everett, it was obvious
that DillCorp had gained the upper hand. But now that Harvey had probably discovered that Nicole had been
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmproviding assistance to Dillion's family in secret, they were worried if things would become even more difficult for
them in the future.
"I guess he must have noticed it previously, but he did not have any evidence to back it up," Nicole analyzed.
If this was not the case, Harvey would not have summoned the courage to meet her face to face. And while he
likely still did not possess any evidence needed to support his case, him showing up personally was probably a way
to pressure Nicole to step back.
"Oh, so he has begun to suspect us." Lulu widened her eyes as she came to a realization.
"Yeah, that's possible." Nicole nodded.
However, she was not too nervous about it. Even if Harvey were to get any evidence, there was nothing he could
do. Nicole did not break any laws, so him losing would be nothing but a testament of his incompetence.
Feeling a little worried, Lulu asked, "In that case, should we be more careful from now onwards?"
Nicole's eyes darkened as she replied, "There's no need for that. We will be seeing the results soon."
When the time came, they would win, and everything would be rendered a fair game. With that said, nothing else
was worth their time and effort at the moment.
"Oh." Lulu nodded, thinking that what Nicole said made sense.
In fact, Lulu began to wonder, 'It'll be great if Harvey knows about it. One can imagine how funny his expression
would be right now.'
Nicole glanced at Lulu, and almost instantly, she understood what she was thinking. This got Nicole to burst out
laughing.
