Chapter 2749

If Harvey was not so obsessed with ruining Nicole’s life and flexing, they would not have gotten a chance to make a move.

“But it’s best for you to be more careful. Harvey is still capable of pulling tricks.”

Nicole advised.

“Don’t worry. I got it.” Lulu replied solemnly.

“Yeah.” Nicole nodded.

She would always have faith in Lulu, but she figured that she should still offer her some advice.

After a slight pause, Lulu lowered her voice, “Oh right, there’s another thing.

Harvey seems to be in contact with Thomas recently. I’m not sure what he is up to now again.”

“Thomas?” Nicole frowned.

Thomas had been undergoing treatment abroad, and he seemed to be doing well, so it was strange that Harvey would contact him out of the blue.

“That’s right. Do you think he’s planning something? I mean, he had never seemed to care about Thomas in the past.” Lulu said.

“It’s possible.” Nicole agreed.

Indeed, Harvey’s sudden attention for Thomas had made it obvious that he had a motive.

The only question was, what was Harvey planning to do? Was he planning to use Thomas to blackmail Nicole? If that was the case, it would not work on her.

After all, this was the main reason as to why Thomas was sent away.

“Should we inform Thomas?” Lulu suggested, feeling a need to be cautious.

“Let’s put it on hold for now. I believe Thomas will be able to handle it.” Nicole shook her head.

She did not want to get involved with every single thing concerning Thomas. At the end of the day, he was a grown man. He should be able to look out for himself and formulate his own judgments about the issues around him.

“Alright then.”

Upon hearing that, Lulu decided to let it rest. If that was the case, they should let Thomas handle everything on his own.

The only thing they had to do now was to exert great pressure onto Harvey in hopes that he would learn who he should not be messing with. That way, he would learn to stay in his lane. As long as Harvey kept his grubby hands off of them, Nicole would be free from having to worry about him.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work now.” Lulu nodded and exited the room.

Nicole flipped through the document she had on her and smiled. She had a gut feeling that something great was about to happen.

Meanwhile, in the executive office of Ellison Group, Harvey was staring at his phone with a blank look on his face.

Thomas had actually hung up on him. In fact, Thomas did not seem to want anything to do with him.

‘Was my suggestion a terrible one to begin with? If he’s willing to work with me, I might even consider taking care of his retirement,’ Harvey thought.

‘On top of that, Nicole will be his granddaughter-in-law if we were to succeed.

What is Grandpa not happy with? He has favored Nicole all this while, hasn’t he?’ “Sir, what do we do now that your grandfather has refused to work with us?”

Lewis asked Harvey softly.

Harvey glanced at Lewis and replied, “If he doesn’t agree to it, I’ll think of another way.”

It was hard to believe that Harvey would give up on his plan just because Thomas had decided not to get involved.

“Sir, I heard that Damien is the only one left in his side of the family. Why don’t we work with him?”

Lewis suggested.

“For God’s sake! The Riddles are useless!” he bellowed.

It would be an absolute waste of time to work with them.

“All I want is to defeat Nicole. I have plenty of ideas to achieve it.” Harvey raised his eyebrows happily.

It would be stupid for anyone to think that Harvey had run out of ideas just because his grandfather had opted not to participate.

“So, what should we do now?” Lewis asked with caution.

“I’ll give Nicole whatever she cares for the most. Do you think she will sit still when I do?” Harvey asked, and gave Lewis a meaningful glance.

One of the things Nicole cared for the most was Riddle Corporation. Therefore, Harvey had decided that Ellison Group should forge even more partnerships with her on several more fronts. The more partnerships they had, the harder it would be for them to split their benefits. This would also mean that they would be inseparable.

Once the Riddle Corporation and Ellison Group were intertwined, it would be impossible for Nicole and Harvey to be separated.
