My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 2822

Chapter 2822

Perhaps those at Eastern Falcon would let down their guard if Jared's men loosened up a bit. That way, it would be easier for Zane to conduct his investigations and gather all the needed intel about them. Understanding Jared's motives right off the bat, Max nodded and replied, "Understood, sir. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Great." Jared smiled and leaned back against his seat while looking out of the window.

Meanwhile, in the headquarters of Riddle Corporation, both Lulu and Patricia had followed Nicole into the office.

"Nicole, we can now finish up on our operations at Ellison Group." Patricia stated calmly.

"Okay." Nicole nodded. "It's about time."

"Yeah, I think we should make a move on my end now." Lulu grinned.

"Of course." Nicole smirked, knowing it was time for Lulu to do her worst.

"Alright, you may sit and wait for the good news from me." Lulu raised her brows.

After Lulu had spoken, she turned around and marched out of the office. All the preparations she had been working on for the past few days had been all for this particular moment

"Should I follow her?" Patricia asked, wanting to help out since she had nothing else to do.

However, Nicole shook her head, "It's fine. Lulu can handle it all by herself. If you've nothing else to work on, you may take a break."

"Alright." Patricia replied, though she continued to remain in the room and wait for updates.

Meanwhile, things were a little different in the headquarters of Ellison Group.

"Sir, the funds have been collected and gathered." Lewis entered and reported, his head hanging low.

"Alright. We can make our move now." Harvey replied, his gaze dark and cold.

"Understood," Lewis nodded, turned around, and left.

Harvey then got up and sauntered up to the window. As he gazed at the scenery outside, the air around him turned icy, giving his figure a frosty presence. This time around, he had to win. There was no room for failure.

'Jared Johnston? Nicole Riddle? Just the both of you wait. I will not let you have your way.' Harvey thought.

The clock on the wall ticked, and in the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Out of the blue, a frantic series of raps emanated from the door, causing Harvey to frown. "Come in."

Lewis then barged into the room, breathless and pale. "Sir, the situation is awful! Our funds have been emptied and the guy who had agreed to invest in us has changed his mind at the very last minute."

At a moment as critical and crucial as this, the funds were an absolute necessity for those at Ellison Group to sustain themselves and keep the company afloat. Should their investors and stakeholders back out at the last minute, the company would be in dire straits.

"What did you say?!" Harvey asked, his eyes wide in complete disbelief. 'How did things turn out this way?'

"Sir, please think of something. Otherwise, we're dead meat. "Lewis stammered, sounding as though he was teetering on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Confused and furious, Harvey glared at Lewis and bellowed, "Look into it! Something must have gone wrong."

Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened. His plan had been meticulously crafted to perfection, so it made no sense as to why the situation had taken a turn for the worse. "Got it." Lewis nodded and hurried off.

With the door slamming shut, Harvey strode back to his desk and began to think of ways to save the situation.

Noon came around soon after, and the sun was bright and hot when Nicole brought Lulu and Patricia out for lunch.

"Should we have some fondue? We should definitely get ourselves a treat to commemorate this day." Lulu suggested, her eyes wide in excitement.
