My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 2831

Chapter 2831

"Mr. Ellison, why don't you... just sign it?" the assistant timidly advised.

At this point, they had been left with no other way out. By signing the document, they could at least retain ownership over Ellison Group, allowing Harvey to continue managing the company so long as he did not step out of line. Even with Nicole serving as the additional overseer from then on, it would not affect the company's operation.

Meanwhile, Thomas remained tight lipped. After the assistant was done advising Harvey, who was speechless and unresponsive, he backed off and maintained his silence.

For the next few minutes, the room became exceptionally quiet, creating a somewhat palpable tension.

Eventually, Harvey picked the pen up, placed his signature on the blank section, and threw the pen down before leaving briskly.

Thomas then sighed, feeling a sense of relief as he watched Harvey's figure recede from view. At the very least, he had dealt with one half of the problem. Now, the rest would be up to Nicole.

With the document in hand, Thomas left Royal Creek Institute and headed to Riddle Corporation.

"Mr. Ellison, didn't you say you wouldn't interfere with this matter and would just wait for the results?" Lulu looked at

Thomas with some concern, worried that Nicole would be in a difficult position if he was here to plead on Harvey's behalf.

"Why yes, but the result I wanted has already been achieved, " Thomas replied, calm and indifferent as he looked at Nicole. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Lulu, ask the secretary to prepare a cup of coffee for Mr. Ellison," Nicole ordered.

"Alright." Lulu nodded and left promptly.

Soon after, the secretary brought the coffee in, and once she had placed it down on the table, she left. Lulu did not return as well, giving Nicole and Thomas the privacy to discuss the issue concerning Harvey. "Mr. Ellison? What would you like to discuss with me?" Nicole asked directly.

"Take a look at this." Thomas placed the document in front of Nicole.

Nicole took the document out of its folder, and after perusing its contents, she frowned. "Are you sure about this? It

"He has already signed it," Thomas replied.

"But..." Nicole stuttered, feeling a little hesitant. "I don't want ownership over Ellison Group.""

'That's why I chose you." Thomas smiled. "It's because you don't want the company. I have done all of this to spare us further trouble and heartache, teach Harvey a lesson, and have you watch over him." "Why don't you watch over him yourself?" Nicole protested." In fact, after this succeeds, everything under Ellison Group will return to you, Mr. Ellison."

That was the outcome she had planned, and Lulu's deployment had been nothing short of successful as well. In fact, everything would soon be settled once and for all.

However, Thomas simply shook his head. "I can't watch over him, and it's challenging to restrain him. You're the only one who can do it."

"So, in the end, you still gave in," Nicole said meaningfully.

"Somewhat. After all, my actions in the past were what made him what he is today. Besides, the company will ultimately end up in his hands."

Indeed, Harvey would end up inheriting Ellison Group someday even if ownership of the company had been returned to Thomas for the time being. He feared that Harvey would wreak havoc if he became ever more hateful and unwilling to get his act together. That was why he had made his current decision.

He believed time could heal all wounds, and that Harvey would come to understand the bigger picture one day.

However, he was not sure if he would live to see that day.

Above all, the only person he could entrust with his peace of mind was Nicole - the only person he truly believed in.

The instant she came to learn of Thomas' intention, Nicole sighed in defeat. "Aren't you afraid that he'll become even more radical because of this?"

Understandably, anyone who had ever dealt with Harvey would find that he was more trouble than he was worth. It was akin to disciplining a mischievous child - being too lenient would have no effect, and being too strict would just traumatize him.

"He won't, because I believe you won't give him that chance to be that person." Thomas smiled, certain that Nicole was the only one who could handle Harvey.
