Chapter 2631
Chapter 2631The more Harvey thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
With that in mind, he had no other choice but to stand up and say, “I suddenly
remembered there’s something I need to attend to. Please excuse me.”
“Take care, Mr. Ellison.” Nicole smiled at Harvey as if saying, “Please. Just
novelbinleave if you want already.”
Trying to maintain his composure, he took a deep breath and spun around
before hightailing it out of the establishment.
Nicole pursed her lips with a look of disdain. “Petty. Why did he even bug us?
What’s wrong with him?”
“You must be hungry. Come on, eat up.” Jared scooped some dishes for Nicole
again.
He was not in the mood for exaggerated displays of affection; he simply did not
care about Harvey.
Meanwhile, Harvey’s assistant was left in a state of puzzlement after Harvey
had gotten in. “Mr. Ellison? Are you leaving so soon?”
He was genuinely surprised that they were leaving already, and he figured thatHarvey had probably not eaten yet.
“Drive.” Harvey glared at his assistant.
Unable to help but shiver as he realized that something was wrong, his assistant
immediately revved the engine up.
Leaning back in his seat, Harvey’s eyes darkened. ‘Nicole, I’ll have you know
that I am not in any way lesser than Jared, and I’m especially not inferior to him.’
“How is the preparation for the new factory going?” Harvey suddenly asked.
And though his assistant was taken aback, he quickly answered, “It’s ready. We
can proceed with the opening ceremony once a date has been selected.”
“Forget about picking a day. Let’s do it in three days.” Harvey said, making the
final decision on a whim as he could not wait any longer.
His assistant agreed at once, afraid to say anything. “Yes. Rest assured; I will
have it arranged. Mr. Ellison.”
Although he felt that it would not be ideal to kick the ceremony off on the fly, he
did not dare to raise his voice in opposition.
“Good,” Harvey groaned in satisfaction.
Time flew by, and soon, the day in which Chloe’s surgery would happen hadarrived.
Mr. Riddle Sr. had made his way to the hospital, along with Dillion and Karen,
who claimed to be taking care of Mr.
Riddle Sr. As for the other members of the Riddle family, no one had bothered to
show up, except for Nicole and Patricia.
The look on Chloe’s face darkened when she saw Nicole. However, she could
not say anything in front of Mr. Riddle Sr., so she opted instead to look at him
innocently.” Grandpa, everything is ready. You don’t need to worry.”
“Good.” Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded. “Where is Ghost Hand?”
Chloe’s eyes flickered for a moment, before she composed herself and
answered, “He’s already preparing for the surgery. If Grandpa wants to see him,
it’s better to wait until after the surgery.”
“Okay,” Mr. Riddle Sr. agreed.
With that, Chloe issued a sigh of relief.
“Chloe, this is such an important surgery. I can’t help much, so I’ve invited
Martin to come over and assist Ghost Hand, just to ensure that the surgery goesmore smoothly,” Nicole said with a caring look on her face, seemingly
concerned about Chloe.
Upon hearing this, Chloe’s face instantly changed, and she promptly declined,
“There’s no need for that. Ghost Hand isn’t used to having unfamiliar people as
assistants.”
“Do you know Ghost Hand well?” Nicole raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze
brimming with an air of intimidation, making everyone else around her feel
uneasy.
