Chapter 2612
Harvey leaned into his seat, his gaze gloomy as he looked out the car window. 'Nicole didn't seem affected by the
matter. Why? She wanted to purchase the electronic component factory, but I tampered with the contract secretly.
Shouldn't she be angry and frustrated now that it turned into a joint venture? Why am I the one feeling the angry
now?'
"If it were you, wouldn't you be angry?" Harvey questioned his assistant abruptly.
His assistant froze for a moment before cautiously asking," What should I be angry about?"
Harvey said displeased, "Wouldn't you be angry about the contract?"
"Well," his assistant said, looking at Harvey in the rearview mirror. He pondered for a moment before answering, "I

frustration. If
The atmosphere in the car fell into silence for a moment before Harvey's chuckle sounded. "You're right. That
made sense."
If Nicole got mad in front of him, it would be admitting defeat. So Nicole had to pretend to maintain her composure.
Seeing Harvey's mood improve, his assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
"From now on, report every single thing about the component factory to me," Harvey instructed.
"Yes, sir," his assistant replied.
Harvey's gloomy mood instantly disappeared. There was even a hint of smugness in him.
The sunset caused a warm and golden glow.
Before Nicole could walk out of her office after work, a phone call came in. Seeing it was Tia's number, she
answered it. "Yes, Tia?"
"Mummy," Nolan's voice came through the phone. "Mummy, we want Tia to take us for ice cream. Is that alright?"
Nicole frowned. "You want to eat ice cream?"
"Yes, can we please?" Lana's voice came through the phone.
"Let Tia bring you home first. I'll get you the ice cream when I come home, okay?" Nicole proposed.
Nicole was worried Tia could not manage both the kids outside, and it was not that she did not trust Tia with the
kids.
"Mummy, we promise to be good and listen to Tia. We really want to eat in the store," Lana started to plead.
"Mummy, Tia and I will take care of Lana," Nolan promised.

Nicole could tell they really wanted to go, so she was forced to come to this compromise out of concern for them.
"Thank you, Mummy," Nolan and Lana were elated and happily hung up the phone call.
Listening to the dial tone, Nicole could not help but shake her head in amusement and put her phone away.
"We can leave now," Patricia came over to inform.
"Alright," Nicole responded, and she headed into the elevator.
Outside Riddle Corporation, Jared had arrived, so Nicole entered the car.
"The kids are eating ice cream. Let's go there," Nicole said.
"Do you know which one they're going to?" Jared asked.
"Isn't it the one they always go to?" Nicole paused. She did not consider this before and assumed it was the regular
spot they visited.
Realization flashed in Jared's eyes. "I'm afraid they're not there for the ice cream."
Huh?" Nicole seemed sounded softly. "Are you saying that...
