My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2830

"Why didn't you tell me that you've returned?" Harvey gritted his teeth, feigning calmness and

composure.

"I didn't tell you, but you still found out, didn't you?" Thomas retorted.

Rendered speechless, Harvey was forced to change the subject. "Since you're back, I must inform you

that Ellison Group is facing an issue now, and we need your help."

Thomas glanced over at Harvey and pushed the document on the table in front of him to his grandson.

"Take a look at this first. If you agree to the terms and conditions, I'll help you out. If not, you may look

for another solution."

It was then that Harvey realized that Thomas was privy to everything that had been transpiring. 'So that

was why he looked so calm when I came over. He was expecting me.'

Harvey opened the document and studied it, but after he had understood the contents, he became

furious and shouted, "Are you insane?! Why would you let Nicole oversee Ellison Group?!" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

What am I then? A dog who'll be forced to be subservient to Nicole and obey her every command?!' he

fumed.

"No worries. You'll still get to manage Ellison Group. However, if you do anything to sabotage it or

Riddle Corporation, everything you currently own will automatically be transferred to Nicole. Think it

over. Will you agree to the terms or not?" Thomas remained calm and staunch, displaying no intention

of changing his stance.

Knowing Harvey, this was the best decision he could make after much careful consideration. If he stood

by and did nothing, Harvey would simply refuse to concede defeat, forcing Nicole to bring him down

even more brutally.

That outcome was something he did not wish to witness. As long as he had the power to do so, he

hoped to ensure Harvey's safety.

Perhaps he had made the mistake of acting on his guilt over the distant past. After all, if it were not for

him, Harvey's childhood would not have been rife with pain and dysfunction. That was why he was

willing to compensate Harvey in every possible way. Besides, the only thing he could do for him now

was to preserve what he currently owned.

Obviously, the reason as to why Harvey had turned out to be a wicked and incorrigible brat was

because he had spoiled him rotten and given in to his demands every time when they were younger.

Otherwise, none of this would happen. This was why Thomas had made this decision, as difficult as it

was. Once Harvey had penned his signature on the document, he would be compelled to think twice

before he did anything in the foreseeable future, allowing him to know his place.

Alas, while Thomas was doing everything he could for Harvey's sake, his manchild of a grandson

neither able to see it nor accept it.

Shocked, he stared at Thomas and asked, "Why would you rather give everything to Nicole?"

He thought that Thomas had the decency to not just watch as the company he had worked so hard to

build fell apart, even if he was bitter and angry at him. But little did he expect that his grandfather would

proceed to deny him any help and give the company to Nicole.

While it was true that Harvey had seized Ellison Group, he believed that the company was what

Thomas owed him and his parents. Thus, he failed to see what was wrong in taking it back and

reclaiming it for himself.

As things stood, however, Thomas seemed more than willing to give everything to an outsider rather

than to his own grandson.

Thomas could only sigh when he saw how enraged Harvey looked. The latter had failed to see that

Thomas was just looking out for him.

'Forget it. If he fails to understand now, he will come to the realization someday,' he thought.

Even if Nicole managed to acquire Ellison Group, she would not want it for herself. The act of putting

her name on all the assets in the company was simply a deterrent to keep Harvey at bay. He believed

that Nicole would not go out of her way to make Harvey's life a living hell if he did not act out of line.

However, this was also his wishful thinking. As to whether Nicole would agree with that sentiment or

not, he was not and could not be certain. After all, Harvey had given her grief on more than one

occasion, so it would not be a stretch to say that she would not forgive him with ease.

Then, Thomas's expression became stern as he drew a deep breath. "You only have two choices now.

Either you sign it or you don't."

Just as Harvey was about to offer a rebuke, Thomas spoke out again, this time to offer him a faint

reminder." Remember, you have no right to question any of my decisions now."

Upon witnessing the change in his grandfather, Harvey was instantly left perplexed with his mouth

agape. It was as if the old man had returned to his past self. Though Thomas seemed approachable

and calm, he also exuded an air of decisiveness, resourcefulness, and sternness.

It was clear to Harvey now that this entire fiasco had begun ever since he staged the company

takeover and kicked Thomas to the curb, causing the old man's personality to change along with their

relationship. It had been a long time, and through the thick of it all, he had almost forgotten what kind of

person his grandfather truly was.
