    Harvey leaned into his seat, his gaze gloomy as he looked out the car window. ''Nicole didn''t seem


    affected by the matter. Why? She wanted to purchase the electronicponent factory, but I tampered


    with the contract secretly. Shouldn''t she be angry and frustrated now that it turned into a joint venture?


    Why am I the one feeling the angry now?''


    "If it were you, wouldn''t you be angry?" Harvey questioned his assistant abruptly.


    His assistant froze for a moment before cautiously asking," What should I be angry about?"


    Harvey said displeased, "Wouldn''t you be angry about the contract?"


    "Well," his assistant said, looking at Harvey in the rearview mirror. He pondered for a moment before


    answering, "I guess I would. Maybe Nicole is pretending to show you her anger. It''s like admitting

    right. That made sense."


    If Nicole got mad in front of him, it would be admitting defeat. So Nicole had to pretend to maintain her


    Seeing Harvey''s mood improve, his assistant breathed a sigh of relief.


    "From now on, report every single thing about theponent factory to me," Harvey instructed.

    Nicole frowned. "You want to eat ice cream?"


    "Yes, can we please?" Lana''s voice came through the phone.

    Nicole had no choice but to agree. "Alright then, you guys go ahead. Your father and I willeter


    on."


    Nicole could tell they really wanted to go, so she was forced toe to thispromise out of concern

    Outside Riddle Corporation, Jared had arrived, so Nicole entered the car.


    "The kids are eating ice cream. Let''s go there," Nicole said.


    "Do you know which one they''re going to?" Jared asked.
