Chapter 2302

Back there, it sounded like they had a history together. Although it did not sound pleasant, it was evident that they had a history.

Ian respectfully replied, “Yes, sir.”

Looking over again, Lawrence saw that Jared had already sat down with Nicole. Lawrence narrowed his eyes and walked quickly to his own seat.

Nicole saw Jared returning and asked softly, “They finally let you go, huh?”

“They’re not as important as my wife,” Jared whispered back.

Nicole gave Jared a disdainful look and said, “Behave properly when we’re in public.”

“I am behaving properly,” Jared said confidently as he held Nicole’s delicate hand.

Behaving properly? If others hear that, their jaws will probably drop,’ she thought.

Gently squeezing Nicole’s soft hand, Jared whispered, “What did Harvey say?”

“Nothing, just reminiscing about the past,” Nicole replied nonchalantly.

Jared raised an eyebrow slightly. “Do you have a past to reminisce about?”

“Lulu has already told me about our past.” Nicole’s face darkened a bit. It seemed they indeed needed to not only reminisce about the past but also had to tally new and old accounts.

Framing the Johnston family and plotting against her, conspiring with Everett to sabotage Riddle Corporation’s headquarters, and now setting his sights on NandoCorp. Did he think she was an easy target?

Sensing Nicole’s coldness, Jared said softly, “It’s good that you know. We have time in the future, don’t worry.”

He was worried that Harvey’s interaction might have revealed something, but thankfully, Lulu had already informed Nicole beforehand, so there should not be a problem.

Nicole frowned slightly. “But one thing is strange. When I arrived, he said his grandfather misses me.”

“How did you respond?” Jared’s expression became serious. He had overlooked this aspect.

“I ignored him.” Nicole also sensed something was amiss and asked in a low voice, “Should I know his grandfather?”

“Not only that, but you also had quite a close relationship with him.” Jared had no choice but to be honest.

Nicole furrowed her eyebrows when she heard about her past acquaintance with Mr. Ellison.

‘I see. Could Harvey have suspected something from my reaction just now?’

She subconsciously wanted to turn her head to take a look, but Jared stopped her and said, “Don’t turn your head. If you look at him now, he’ll be suspicious.”

“So, you’re saying that he’s suspecting me?” Nicole wondered, ‘Is that why he was testing me just now?’

“Perhaps he just wants to get closer to you. But if you turn around now, he might start suspecting,”

Jared whispered to Nicole.

Nicole immediately stopped her movement as she knew that Jared was right.

Harvey might not have noticed anything substantial but, at most, he might be curious. However, if she were to pay attention to Harvey’s actions now, with his suspicious nature, he would surely overthink it.
