Chapter 831
Since Daniel had spoken, Nicole was ill at ease to say anything. Otherwise, it would have been too
obvious.
“Harvey, surely Snow has troubled you all at school, hasn‘t she?” Daniel did not know what to say
either, so he tried to be polite.
“Not at all. Nicole didn‘t trouble us at school. Instead, she brought in many investors for the school,”
said Harvey. Daniel looked confused. “Investors?”
“Yes, that‘s right. The Royal Creek Institute‘s sports day has got fewer and fewer people signing up
over the years, and the school has held countless meetings and thought of many methods, but none of
them worked. Fortunately, Nicole came up with a solution this year. After the students knew, they all
enthusiastically signed up, and the number of participants reached the highest number since the
establishment of the Royal Creek Institute. The investors had read Nicole‘s proposal before deciding to
sponsor the Royal Creek Institute‘s sports day.” Harvey had more words than usual when he praised
Nicole.
Daniel and Gloria felt proud of Nicole after learning that Nicole had done so well at school.
They sat in the living room and talked for a while before Sean and Steve walked in. “What a lively
discussion. What
are you all talking about?” “You two are back just in time. Snow is doing very well at school. She helped
the school solve a historic problem.” Daniel spoke excitedly to Sean and Steve. 8 “I knew Snow was
good, but I didn‘t expect it to be so outstanding,” Sean exclaimed. 3 “Stop talking about me already.
Since you two are back, let‘s get down to business.” Nicole did not want to be used as a talking point
anymore. “Hello, I‘m Sean.” Sean politely held out his hand to Harvey.
“I‘m Harvey.”
“I‘m Steve.”
They had seen each other before but had never sat together and spoken. After a brief introduction,
Sean went straight to the point. “Harvey, do you have any thoughts on the collaboration between
Ellison Group and Riddle Corporation?”
“Our purpose is the same; we all want to win the Aegis Corporation project, so we will share relevant
information with each other. But there is one problem: people on both sides must know each other.”
“I’m in charge of this project, so may I know who will represent Riddle Corporation?” Harvey said all this
to tell the Riddle family that if they wanted to work with him,they would have to send someone he was
familiar with.
They all understood what Harvey meant. In the Riddle family, there was no one except Nicole, who was
familiar with Harvey.
Since this was the only requirement of Ellison Group, they had no choice but to make Nicole a
representative of Riddle Corporation to deal with Harvey. “Nicole will deal with Harvey,” Daniel said,
and no one else had any objection. Harvey was so happy because he would not only get to see Nicole
at school more often but also find her at Nicole‘s home and wherever she was. “That‘s great. Nicole
and I are classmates; it‘s easier to communicate.”
Nicole was glad to have struck the deal, but she was inexplicably depressed when the thought of
having to see Harvey all the time in the future.
“Since the Riddle and the Ellison families reached an agreement, I will first excuse myself and go
upstairs to rest.”
Looking at Nicole walking upstairs, Harvey was rejoicing. “I will also excuse myself.”
“I‘ll see you out.” Sean walked Harvey to the door.
Once back in the living room, Steve was heard complaining. “Was Harvey here to talk about
cooperation? It felt like he was here just for Nicole.”
“I had prepared what to say before I came home, but he didn‘t even say a word to me before signing
the contract. So what is the point of asking me to come back?”
“Stop whining already. He didn‘t talk to me, either. Now you all can see, don‘t you? The reason he
works with us is Nicole. But as long as there is a deal, it is a win–win for both sides when we win the
tender. It doesn‘t matter who is the representative as we are all the Riddle family members.” Sean
knew it better; as long as the Riddle family won the tender, it did not matter if Nicole was in charge.
