    The more Harvey thought about it, the more annoyed he became.


    With that in mind, he had no other choice but to stand up and say, "I suddenly remembered there''s


    something I need to attend to. Please excuse me."


    "Take care, Mr. Ellison." Nicole smiled at Harvey as if saying, "Please. Just leave if you want already."


    Trying to maintain hisposure, he took a deep breath and spun around before hightailing it out of


    the establishment.


    Nicole pursed her lips with a look of disdain. "Petty. Why did he even bug us? What''s wrong with him?"


    "You must be hungry. Come on, eat up." Jared scooped some dishes for Nicole again.


    He was not in the mood for exaggerated disys of affection; he simply did not care about Harvey.


    Meanwhile, Harvey''s assistant was left in a state of puzzlement after Harvey had gotten in. "Mr.


    Ellison? Are you leaving so soon?"


    He was genuinely surprised that they were leaving already, and he figured that Harvey had probably


    not eaten yet.


    "Drive." Harvey red at his assistant.


    Unable to help but shiver as he realized that something was wrong, his assistant immediately revved


    the engine up.


    Leaning back in his seat, Harvey''s eyes darkened. ''Nicole, I''ll have you know that I am not in any way


    lesser than Jared, and I''m especially not inferior to him.''


    "How is the preparation for the new factory going?" Harvey suddenly asked.


    And though his assistant was taken aback, he quickly answered, "It''s ready. We can proceed with the


    opening ceremony once a date has been selected."


    "Forget about picking a day. Let''s do it in three days." Harvey said, making the final decision on a whim


    as he could not wait any longer.


    His assistant agreed at once, afraid to say anything. "Yes. Rest assured; I will have it arranged. Mr.


    Ellison."


    Although he felt that it would not be ideal to kick the ceremony off on the fly, he did not dare to raise his

    voice in opposition.


    "Good," Harvey groaned in satisfaction.


    Time flew by, and soon, the day in which Chloe''s surgery would happen had arrived.


    Mr. Riddle Sr. had made his way to the hospital, along with Dillion and Karen, who imed to be taking


    care of Mr.


    Riddle Sr. As for the other members of the Riddle family, no one had bothered to show up, except for


    Nicole and Patricia.


    The look on Chloe''s face darkened when she saw Nicole. However, she could not say anything in front


    of Mr. Riddle Sr., so she opted instead to look at him innocently." Grandpa, everything is ready. You


    don''t need to worry."


    "Good." Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded. "Where is Ghost Hand?"


    Chloe''s eyes flickered for a moment, before sheposed herself and answered, "He''s already


    preparing for the surgery. If Grandpa wants to see him, it''s better to wait until after the surgery."


    "Okay," Mr. Riddle Sr. agreed.


    With that, Chloe issued a sigh of relief.


    "Chloe, this is such an important surgery. I can''t help much, so I''ve invited Martin toe over and


    assist Ghost Hand, just to ensure that the surgery goes more smoothly," Nicole said with a caring look


    on her face, seemingly concerned about Chloe.


    Upon hearing this, Chloe''s face instantly changed, and she promptly declined, "There''s no need for


    that. Ghost Hand isn''t used to having unfamiliar people as assistants."


    "Do you know Ghost Hand well?" Nicole raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze brimming with an air of


    intimidation, making everyone else around her feel uneasy.
