"Harvey is now awake but he's in horrible condition. Unfortunately, the worst-case scenario just
happened. Harvey has become a broken man," Lulu sighed.
Nicole had initially thought that she could be at ease once Harvey regained his consciousness.
However, Harvey's current condition was anything but favorable. If anything, she should have stayed
unconscious.
"Is Thomas still in the hospital?" Nicole asked.
"He's still here, worried sick about Harvey," Lulu replied in defeat.
Nicole paused and thought for a moment, after which she ordered, "You should go ahead with your
work at Ellison Group. Give him a few more days to process the reality around him and get his act
together."
"Alright," Lulu agreed, knowing that it would be a waste of time for them to expect anything from Harvey
at the moment.
As she hung up, Nicole frowned in frustration. 'Was the blow too strong for Harvey to handle?'
"Do you think Harvey will recover?" Jared asked, his gaze conveying a hint of coldness.
Nicole shook her head in response. "I'm not sure about that. Well just have to keep an eye on the
situation for a little
longer. Right now, there is just no other way."
Regardless of whether the situation improved or not, Nicole had no choice but to accept that the recent
turn of events was beyond her control. All she could do was wait.
Holding Nicole's hands, Jared assured her, "Don't worry.
Just focus on your work."
Harvey deserved everything that had happened to him, as the hell he was in was one of his own
making. Even if they intended to let him off the hook, Harvey would still have refused to let anything
slide. There was nothing they could have done to influence his decision and his mindset.
Understanding what Jared was trying to say, Nicole nodded. "I get it."
Upon arriving at Riddle Corporation, Nicole got out of the car and strode into the building.
Jared then turned to Max and ordered, "Let's head to work."
"Yes," Max replied.
He then ignited the engine and asked, "Mr. Johnston, there's news about the organization, Eastern
Falcon. It's said that they've been trying to contact Lawrence as of late. Do you think they'll join
forces?"
"What about Damien?" Jared asked. 'Why would Eastern Falcon contact Lawrence?'
"He went to breakfast as usual. I think it's because the person he's waiting for has not shown up," Max
answered.
As expected, the Eastern Falcon had gotten back into action once Jared's men had loosened their
watch on them.
However, it was strange that the Eastern Falcon was more eager to contact Lawrence rather than
Damien. As of now, Jared's allies were still uncertain of the organization's motives. There was also the
possibility that they wanted to team up in order to get something from Lawrence.
As for Damien, he had been rather quiet lately, not unlike his usual self. He had been visiting the same
cafe, waiting for more information every day. However, members of Eastern Falcon had established
zero contact with him for the past two days.
Sensing something off, Jared calmly ordered, "You should still keep your eyes on them."
Jared figured a problem would surely occur since they had become active once again.
"Yes," Max replied. "On a side note, Zane seems to have found some leads, but the veracity has yet to
be confirmed."
"Understood." Jared sneered, deciding they would strike once the leads were confirmed.
Meanwhile, Nicole was on a phone call with Patricia.
"So, you're saying Max is in charge of watching over Damien now?” Nicole asked, puzzled by the
sudden change, as Patricia had always been the one assigned to do it.
"Yes. Max said I would get distracted, what with all the mounting workloads. He's afraid that it'd affect
the mission.
From now on, they'll be reporting directly to Mr. Johnston for any follow-ups," Patricia explained.
"Oh, I see," Nicole nodded in understanding of the situation." In that case, you could stay at BayCorp
and relax."
Jared seemed to have considered every possible shift in circumstances when he made his
arrangements. If Patricia were together with Ellar, she might be exempt from being deployed in special
missions that were more dangerous. In fact, she might even be assigned to stay in BayCorp in the long Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
run.
Chuckling, Nicole felt a surge of warmth at how careful and thoughtful Jared was. She knew Jared did
not care about any of these things, but he had gone out of his way to be more meticulous in his
planning because of her.
