Chapter 2429
"Ouch!" Just as Nicole finished, Jared gently knocked her forehead.
Then, he reminded her, "If he truly is Mr. Ellison's grandson, how could Mr. Ellison have ended up the way he did?"
"What happened, exactly?" Nicole asked, getting more curious about the situation.
"To be exact, all of this happened because of the bad blood between Harvey's parents and Mr. Ellison. Mr. Ellison
didn't like Harvey's mother, and that's why Harvey's parents had not returned to the Ellison family for so long. It was
not until Harvey's family passed away that Mr. Ellison took Harvey home," Jared explained with a look of
indifference.
"So Harvey had a bone to pick with Mr. Ellison?" Nicole queried, beginning to understand what was going on.
"Yeah." Jared nodded. "Mr. Ellison wanted to raise Harvey peacefully and allow him to inherit all of the assets in the
Ellison family. No one expected him to come back just for revenge."
Without waiting for Mr. Ellison to relinquish his position in Ellison Group, Harvey had brazenly seized all of the equity
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtin the Ellison Group and coerced the board of directors into relieving Mr. Ellison of his position as chairman.
Although Mr. Ellison was heartbroken, he did not make a fuss about it and quietly went back to teaching at Royal
Creek Institute, and had never stepped foot in the Ellison family ever since.
"Sheesh, I never knew that there was such drama between them," Nicole lamented.
As it turned out, this entire fiasco was the reason as to why Mr. Ellison had an air of sorrow when she met him
yesterday. It was a rather sad story.
"But then, Mr. Ellison seems to be doing relatively fine. His intention was to hand over all of the family assets to
Harvey anyways," Nicole stated.
The only thing that had upset him was that Harvey had achieved his goals through means different from what Mr.
Ellison had planned.
"How should I put it? Although the results were the same, Mr. Ellison's heart must have been thoroughly shattered,"
Jared explained bitterly.
At this rate, it was hard to put a finger on who was the one in the wrong.
"Don't bother too much with other people's affairs. But do put your guard up when you see Harvey next time," Jared
said with a frosty look.
He was not concerned about the affairs of others, but due to the fact that Harvey had a dark and twisted mind,
Jared thought that it was something Nicole should take note of.
"Alright," Nicole agreed with a solemn look.
She knew she had to be wary of Harvey, especially after knowing these dirty secrets of his.
With her eyes on Jared, Nicole was aware that Jared had a connection with Mr. Ellison that was far from superficial,
and so, she could not help but ask, "As for Mr. Ellison, are you not going to do anything about it?"
"There's no point in interfering," Jared said indifferently.
After all, Mr. Ellison's current situation was a result of the estrangement between him and Harvey, rather than
Harvey's act of taking over through dubious means. Ultimately, those assets were ultimately meant for him.
For an old man, all Mr. Ellison cared about was his family, which was something he no longer had. As for the issue
between Harvey and Mr. Ellison, Jared was an outsider. Thus, it would not be appropriate for him to interfere.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole sighed, understanding Jared's reasoning. With that in mind, she stopped pressing any further.
Soon, the car came to a stop at the headquarters of Riddle Corporation, where Nicole opened the door, got out of
the car, and waved to Jared with a smile. "Goodbye."
Jared responded with a smile and waved back before instructing Max to drive off.
The car picked up speed, and Nicole watched as it drove away before entering the company building. However, she
paused when she saw a familiar figure.
"Hehe. You caught me," Lulu said, surprised.
She had intended to cover Nicole's eye to scare her, but as expected, Nicole had whirled around before she could.
Nicole shook her head and chuckled. "Gosh, you're not a kid anymore."
Lulu poked her tongue and wrapped her arms around Nicole. "You two were inseparable, so I thought I didn't want
to disturb you."
In response, Nicole lightly tapped Lulu's forehead. "We're not as lovey-dovey as you and Spencer are."
"We're not lovey-dovey," Lulu flushed.
The two of them then chatted and laughed as they entered the office wing, that was until they coincidentally ran
into Sean and Steve.
"Where are you going?" Nicole asked, noticing that they were preparing to leave the building.
"Just an appointment with a client," Steve answered.
