My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2705

Feeling helpless, Harvey went on to say, "You don't have to turn me down so coldly, you know. After all,

my grandfather is still in your hands."

Upon hearing those words, Nicole glared at him. "Please watch your words, Mr. Ellison."

What is he saying? He's making it sound like I'm controlling Thomas and turning his grandfather

against him,' she thought.

"Isn't that the truth?" Harvey shrugged. "It's very clear that my grandfather listens to you more than he

listens to me now."

"Pfft, so you finally admit that Mr. Ellison is your grandfather now, huh. You were so cruel to him. How is

it that you did not bother to acknowledge that you're his grandson before this?" Lulu sneered with

disdain.

Nicole's lips twitched as she attempted to restrain herself from giving him a verbal lashing. She was

annoyed because Harvey was still there.

'Lulu sure is bold. So is it better to acknowledge him as a grandson or not?'

Harvey looked upset as he glanced at Lulu coldly. ’Although you are in charge of the joint project

between Riddle Corporation and Ellison Group now, you should still know your place. You're just an

errand runner, and nothing more."

His connotation was clear; he was only paying attention to Lulu because of Nicole. Otherwise, he would

not have even bothered to speak to her.

Lulu knew this, so his reply did little to anger her.

Instead of reacting, she simply shrugged and said, "Don't worry. There won’t be much for me to do

soon."

She was waiting for Nicole's plan to succeed, and when that happened, she would see if Harvey dared

to maintain his arrogance with her.

Harvey frowned upon hearing Lulu's retort. He felt that there was something off putting with what she Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

had just said. But when he looked again, Lulu had already lowered her head to get a sip of water from

her glass, so he stopped paying attention to her.

Believing that his warning had put her in her place, Harvey turned his gaze back to Nicole. "I have

something to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Nicole frowned.

"Ellison Group's anniversary celebration. As a shareholder, this event is one that you should attend, so

I am cordially inviting you to attend our anniversary celebration." Harvey smiled.

"Are you sure that I should attend the anniversary celebration, even though I am just a shareholder of a

small electronics factory?" Nicole frowned, wanting to refuse his invitation.

Tm not even in the same league as the rest of his shareholders...' she thought.

"Of course, on such an important day, every single staff member, shareholder, and partner will receive

invitations," Harvey said. 'Til be expecting you."

"Hey, she didn't agree to it though." Lulu glared at Harvey with displeasure clearly written on her face.

"As a shareholder, it'll be impolite for you to decline such an invitation." Harvey's eyes darkened. "So,

what do you think, Ms. Riddle?"

Nicole gritted her teeth, but she maintained her composure." Since everyone has received an invitation,

I suppose I should show up as well."

Upon hearing that response, Harvey grinned in satisfaction." It's good that you've accepted the

invitation, Ms. Riddle."

"I'll prepare a gift and be there on time." Nicole nodded in agreement.

"Good, I will have the written invitation delivered on time," he said.

Harvey knew that once Nicole agreed to something, she would not go back on her word, and that left

him in a good mood.

Nicole shrugged. "So, Mr. Ellison. Now that you've done what you came here to do, can you leave

now?"

'Please leave right away if you're done. Don't stick around and kill our appetite,' she thought.

Harvey's lips twitched as soon as he realized that they were trying to shoo him away. 'She's still so

harsh.'

And once Nicole and Lulu's food had been served, Harvey had no choice but to say goodbye. "Well,

then, I'll take my leave."

After Harvey had left, Lulu pouted. "He looked as though he's reluctant to leave. It's as if someone has

a gun pointed at him, keeping him around."

"It's good that he's gone," Nicole added, finding Lulu's expression amusing.

"Hey, why did you agree to it?” Lulu gave Nicole a look of puzzlement.

Even if Nicole refused, Harvey would not be able to do anything to her.

"He said all shareholders and partners will be there, so it's only right that I show my face, even if it's

just for a while," Nicole said indifferently.
