My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2631

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 his composure, 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 displays 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 glared 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."

Chloe's eyes flickered for a moment, before she composed 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 to come 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.
