Chapter 2750

Harvey was brimming with happiness as he whispered to Lewis, "You may start preparing..."

"Understood," Lewis whirled around and walked out of the office.

Harvey then grinned as if he was anticipating something grand and sinister.

On the other end, Thomas was staring at his phone with a heavy heart.

He did turn down Harvey's suggestion, but for some reason, he was still riddled with feelings of unease. Based on his understanding of his grandson, Harvey was not the kind who would give up until he had gotten what he wanted.

Therefore, Thomas was genuinely worried about him.

Previously, he had gone toe-to-toe with Jared over Nicole, which ended up with Harvey losing.

In a way, Nicole's disappearance was a blessing in disguise in that it had gotten Harvey to quit messing with the Riddles. Had that not been the case, there would be no telling if Ellison Group would still exist today. At this point, Thomas could not help but wonder what had given Harvey the balls and the confidence to take on Nicole and Jared.

If Harvey persisted, his fate would be sealed. Therefore, Thomas was veryconcerned.

"For God's sake, Harvey." Thomas sighed.

"Sir, Ms. Riddle will take care of it. You should just get some rest and have your peace of mind," his caretaker comforted.

Thomas shot her a glance and nodded. "I know. I just feel annoyed by it."

The caretaker in question was also someone Nicole had assigned to tend to him. Therefore, Thomas did not have to keep quiet about that which concerned the both of them. In fact, the caretaker had a great deal of knowledge about what was going on.

Furthermore, it was also thanks to the caretaker's company that life abroad was not as boring for Thomas. At the very least, Thomas had someone to talk to whenever he had something in his mind. "Let's head back now," Thomas decided.

"Are you sure you've thought it through?" the caretaker asked, still wanting to persuade Thomas to stay. Nicole had the same idea as well. She did not want Thomas to get himself caught in the crossfire. "Yes. Perhaps, I am at fault for how things have turned out."

Had Thomas not allowed Harvey to be incorrigible, things would not have ended up the way it was.

Sometimes, the one who had made the mess was the only one who could clean it up or undo it. Perhaps it was necessary for Thomas to step in and intervene just so that

all of this nonsense could finally end.

The caretaker looked at Thomas, thinking of persuading him out of getting into the fray. However, Thomas seemed determined, so she gave up before she could say a word. "I'd like to take a nap." Thomas said, his breathing labored.

One could tell that he was in a bad mood.

"Alright," she laid Thomas down.

Then, she made sure he was fast asleep before stepping out.

A weight seemed to have lifted from his chest after he had made the decision, so he fell asleep rather quickly.

Back at San Joto, it was already lunch hour.

As Nicole was getting ready to head out to grab a bite, her phone rang.

It was an unknown number, so Nicole was cautious when she picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hey, Ms. Riddle? I'm Cindy Rowe. Do you remember me?" a crisp and clear female voice greeted.

"Cindy Rowe?" Nicole paused for a moment to recall who it was. "Right. I remember now. You're Martin's research partner."

Cindy laughed and replied, "Thank you for remembering me. Can I ask you out for lunch?"

"Anything I can help you with?" Nicole asked, confused as to why Cindy would invite her for lunch out of the blue.

"I need your advice on something." Cindy answered candidly.

Nicole hesitated for a moment. After all, they were not close, and had only spoken to each other for less than a minute the last time they met.
