My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2651

"He's put in so much effort, so he's obviously going to do his worst," Nicole snorted.

She knew that Harvey had put on such a grand display to make things difficult for her. A simple ribbon-cutting ceremony was not all that he wanted.

"Are we just going to let things unfold like this?" Patricia asked in a low voice.

"Since he wants to publicize it, let him go ahead. Free advertising shouldn't be wasted." Nicole's eyes darkened. "Now that we're already working together, let's commence with the next stage of our plan."

"Of course," Patricia eagerly agreed.

She figured that Nicole had her own reasons for working together with Harvey. If anything, Nicole would never let Harvey keep that smirk on his face. All the measures taken would be temporary.

Soon after, they returned to the headquarters of the Riddle Corporation, and during lunch break, Nicole leaned back against her couch in her office, lost in thought.

The setting sun was already beginning to set when Nicole and Jared returned to the Riddle residence, which seemed rather quiet and empty.

"Dad, Mom, why is it just the two of you?" Nicole was puzzled as she looked at Daniel and Gloria. 'Where's Stanley, Nolan, and Tia?'

"Stanley said he had a last-minute meeting tonight and won't be coming back for dinner. As for Nolan and Lana, they have returned to their room to play. Now that you're back, let's eat," Gloria explained.

"Oh, okay." Nicole replied, feeling relieved, and followed them into the dining room.

After they had all sat down, Nicole came upon the observation that Daniel and Gloria did not look too good, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

"We went to pay your Grandpa a visit today," Daniel sighed. "He doesn't look too well. He's probably affected by Chloe's incident."

Since Miley had taken the blame, Chloe would naturally be let off the hook. Still, it was clear that Chloe would not be able to sit tight.

"Dad, you should go and spend more time with Grandpa these days if you have nothing else to do," Nicole reminded Daniel.

Although she had guessed that this might be the most probable outcome, it was evident that the people who Chloe had disappointed once more would likely feel that Chloe should be punished this time.

"I know," Daniel agreed and shot Nicole a glance. "Are you okay?"

Nicole smiled. "I'm fine. In fact, I would really be surprised if Chloe got arrested this time."

After all, she had long suspected that Chloe would find a way to clear her name.
