Chapter 2832
"So, with such an important task assigned to me, don't you at least plan to reward me, Mr. Ellison?" Nicole joked.
Taking on this task meant she would likely have to deal with Harvey even more frequently in the future, and any
further involvement with him in her life was the last thing she needed.
"What do you want? Just say it. After all, I had hoped you would become my granddaughter-in-law back when you
were younger. Unfortunately, we lost you. Now, I really can't think of anything I can offer you in return." Thomas
replied jokingly, as his mood had improved significantly.
"Well, then..." Nicole paused. "Just stop feeling sorry for your grandson."
"Hahaha... As long as you keep him alive, I won't meddle in anything else." Thomas laughed.
"Well, he won't lose his life. That much I can guarantee. At most... he'll live in despair."
Of course, she would not actively seek vengeance against Harvey if he wisened up and stopped trying to make her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlife a living hell. If he did, he would have nobody to blame but herself.
"I believe he will repent one day, and I also believe that Ellison Group will only improve from then on," Thomas said
solemnly.
This was his hope and his trust in the two individuals he had grown to care about.
"If he can manage the company without creating a mess, I believe he will," Nicole agreed.
At the end of the day, Harvey was no slouch when it came to his work. It was just that his deep, unhealthy
obsession with Nicole had led him astray.
With the two individuals reaching an agreement, Thomas' mood improved. He even began to enjoy the coffee with
great enthusiasm.
"Well, the taste is indeed good, but I have a bone to pick with you." Thomas complained in seeming dissatisfaction."
Ever since Harvey offended Jared, I haven't been able to get a taste of the unique coffee he used to supply me."
"Are you complaining to me?" Nicole laughed.
"Of course. I must ask that you convince your husband to change his mind. How can he be so stingy?" Thomas
looked at Nicole, his brows raised in dismay.
"If you like my coffee, I can always send some of this year's new coffee beans to you, Mr. Ellison."
Suddenly, Jared's voice was heard, surprising the individuals who then turned to look at the tall, solid figure who had
just strode into the office.
"Why are you here?" Nicole smiled and stood up.
"Just came to see you," Jared responded gently, his eyes then trained on Thomas.
"Hmm, you came here to see if I'm giving your wife a hard time." Thomas smiled.
Thomas had already seen through Jared's purpose of coming here from the get-go before revealing it before
everyone in the room.
How could I pick on Nicole? Moreover, isn't someone I could do that to,' he thought.
"You're handing her a hot potato. Don't you think it's equivalent to giving her a hard time?" Jared countered without

If he had not just heard Thomas's words, which were rather pleasant to the ears, he would not have even offered to
give him some of his special coffee beans.
"In her hands, the potato won't burn, especially with you around," Thomas retorted as if it were a matter of fact.
"Alright then. Anyway, you may go home now, Mr. Ellison." Jared finished, his tone calm and polite as if he was not
trying to get someone to leave.
If anything, it seemed as though they were having a casual conversation.
Displeased, Thomas shot Jared a sour look. "Fine. I'm not going to disturb you anymore."
"Don't forget to sign the documents," Thomas reminded Nicole, after which he marched out of the office.
With the pressing matter resolved, Thomas became even more energetic and joyful.
"This time, Thomas is truly at ease." Nicole sighed.
"You didn't have to agree, you know," Jared said gently.
"It doesn't matter. The result would have been similar, and I never intended to leave Harvey with nothing anyway."
Regardless of the outcome today, everything would still return to Thomas, who would in turn pass everything back
to Harvey anyway.
Jared then gently stroked Nicole's hair. "I suggest leaving it to the others. Let them deal with it."
