My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2849

"I thought so too. But your grandfather told me he had to try. Otherwise, the entirety of Ellison Group will be mine," Nicole said.

Then, she smirked and continued, The only price I have to pay is that I'll have to take care of him until the very end of his life."

"Don't you even dare think about it!" Harvey roared, instantly overcome with rage.

In response, Nicole shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, what are you going to do about it?"

"1 won't let you do whatever the hell you want, and I sure as hell won't let you have your way!" Harvey bellowed.

"How are you going to do that? You're going to fight back while lying on the hospital bed?" Nicole feigned surprise and gave Harvey a mocking stare.

She was not threatened by Harvey at all.

"Nicole!" Harvey suddenly got up from the bed and stared her down with a murderous glare.

With a slight smile, Nicole sized Harvey up before nodding in approval. "Not bad. I see you can actually stand up now. I thought you were planning to lie down like a vegetable for the rest of your life." After a slight delay, Harvey raised his brow in complete puzzlement.

Then, his expression changed, and he gritted his teeth." Nicole, you're plotting against me again!?"

"Don't get so worked up," Nicole said, taking on a much more serious tone now. "Mr. Ellison really did make an effort for you. I may not have the right to interfere in the affairs of your family or comment about everything that has happened in the previous generation. However, you should know that he has always loved and cared for you, even though he did mess up in the past.

If it weren't for Thomas going out of his way to give his grandson a better life, Harvey would not have accomplished what he had thus far with relative ease.

Nicole's words left Harvey speechless there and then. In fact, he was aware of these things himself. Though he felt that it was Thomas' way of atoning for the sins of his past, he still felt that he deserved every single favor that Thomas owed him.

After a moment of contemplation, Harvey bit his tongue and said, "That is none of your business."

Nicole shrugged, indifferent to what Harvey just said. "I know, and that's why I don't want to get involved."

Then, she looked at him calmly and continued, "But please remember, although Ellison Group is still under your name, you have signed an agreement with me. If you can't manage the company properly, I will have to consider other options."

"Don't you dare!" Harvey threatened through gritted teeth.

"I'm not your grandfather, Harvey." Nicole sneered, knowing he could go ahead and test her.

After saying that, Nicole left the ward in long strides. She had said everything she needed to say and done what needed to be done. What happened next would depend on the choices Harvey would make.

Of course, if Harvey ended up becoming a disappointment again, she would have to seriously consider other options. After all, she could not just sit and watch as Ellison Group crumbled into ruins. Speechless, Harvey could only open his mouth without saying a word as she watched her recede from view. After a minute or two, Thomas entered the room.

"Are you okay?" Thomas came up to Harvey's side and looked at him.

A conflicted expression manifested on Harvey's face when he saw how caring his grandfather looked, after which he snorted and laid back down on the bed. Thomas' eyes carried a hint of amusement as he raised his brows. It seemed to him that Harvey should be fine now.

"Well, I'll let you get some rest, then," Thomas said and left, knowing that Harvey needed some time and space to reflect.

"He should be okay now." Thomas flashed Nicole a smile, overcome with gratitude. "I really have to thank you this time."

Nicole returned the smile and shook her head. "No need to thank me. Now that we've done what we came here to do, we'll be leaving."

"Alright, have a safe trip back," Thomas nodded. "I'm going home too."

"Why?" Lulu asked in confusion.

Lulu thought Thomas was supposed to stay and watch over Harvey, so she was puzzled by the idea that he was going home too.

"He'll have a quicker recovery in my absence," Thomas explained.

If he stayed, Harvey might still behave in an awkward manner for a few more days.

"Oh." Lulu nodded in understanding.

With all that was said and done, she was not interested in their affairs. She could care less as long as everything was fine.
