Soon, the waiter walked off, though he remained within walking distance from the table.
Nicole narrowed her eyes and looked at Lulu, who instantly understood her signal and nodded. Then, Lulu stood up
and left.
Harvey glanced at Lulu without uttering a word to her. Then, he turned to Nicole and said, "Come to think about it, it
has been years since I’ve been back to Royal Creek Institute."
"Don't you come to this area to visit Mr. Ellison from time to time?" Nicole glanced at Harvey as he spoke.
Harvey's eyes darkened and he looked away. It seemed as if he did not wish to answer the question.
Noting this, Nicole raised her eyebrows and observed Harvey's expression. 'What does that mean?'
At that moment, Lulu had returned. She turned to Nicole and nodded slightly before taking a seat.
"Nicole, let's eat. The taste is still the same as before," Lulu stated, pretending as if nothing had happened and

Although Harvey had insisted on staying at the table, it was obvious that the two ladies had disregarded his
presence.
However, it also seemed to them that Harvey was not feeling ashamed at all. He brazenly continued sitting there.
Even with the utensils laying on the table, he was not there to eat, so he continued staring at Nicole.
"Are the both of you sincere about treating me to a meal?
You only ordered fish and chips...Harvey?" Mr. Ellison complained as soon as he stepped into the premises.
But the moment he saw Harvey, his expression froze, almost as if he was caught off guard.
"Sir, didn't you say that you've eaten lunch already?" Lulu smiled while she stood up and gave her seat to Mr.
Ellison.
Then, she ordered a cup of tea for him.
"Sir, have a seat." Nicole smiled and welcomed Mr. Ellison to the table.
Mr. Ellison regained his composure and sat down, and as he looked at Nicole, he said, "I did not expect the both of
you to spend your lunch break here just to have a meal."
"We just had a sudden craving." Nicole smiled as she replied.
Then, Mr. Ellison turned to Harvey and asked, "Did Harvey drop by for a visit?”
"I bumped into them," Harvey replied coldly.
"Oh." Mr. Ellison uttered with a sorrowful look on his face.
Nicole narrowed her eyes and carefully observed the duo of Mr. Ellison and Harvey. She could tell that something
was off between the two of them. It was a meeting between the grandfather and grandson, where Mr. Ellison was
indifferent to the presence of his grandson, who seemed to have had
his guard up. Indeed, it was a weird interaction.
Nicole turned to look at Lulu, after which she darted her eyes at the grandfather-grandson duo for a quick second
before looking away. Then, Lulu lightly shook her head to indicate that she did not know what was going on either.

Harvey something. However, the entire Ellison Group was now under Harvey's command, and Mr. Ellison had
completely relinquished all of his power and positions to Harvey too. As such, it would be impossible for Harvey to
be dissatisfied with what his grandfather had given him now.
"Nicole, I've had my lunch already. I came over to see you since I heard that you're here. If there's nothing else, I'll
return to the institute now." Mr. Ellison stated, ready to leave as he did not seem as if he could keep up the charade
any longer.
"Alright. I'll visit you another day." Nicole replied, not pressing him to stay.
Mr. Ellison then glanced at Harvey and walked off, with each step of his low and heavy.
Nicole's gaze darkened as she stared at Mr. Ellison's figure. She was now even more confident in her guess - a
conflict had erupted between Mr. Ellison and Harvey
"Harvey, you're not here to eat, and yet, you don't want to leave. What are you trying to do here?" Lulu pointed out,
seeing that Harvey was still there.
Harvey shrugged and stood up.
Then, he turned to Nicole and said, "Fine, I'll see you another time."
As soon as he had spoken, Harvey strode out of the establishment.
