Chapter 2431
Harvey's expression was icy cold as he darted his eyes at Everett. "What are you doing here?"
"Mr. Ellison, I had no idea James was such a cunning one. I underestimated him, not knowing that he has been playing dumb all along," Everett fumed, choked with rage and frustration.
Everett was convinced that he would have bagged DillCorp had it not been for James.
With his eyes trained on Everett, Harvey replied, "This has nothing to do with me. Regardless of whether you win or lose, it doesn't affect me."
Everett suddenly felt a pang of guilt, but then, he continued in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ellison, I don't understand what you're saying."
"It doesn't matter anymore. But remember, don't come to me in the future any longer. I want nothing to do with someone who has proven time and again to be a thorn in my side," Harvey finished and turned to his assistant.
"Walk him out, and don't ever let him in ever again," he said.
Initially, Harvey had thought that Everett was just the right amount of ruthless and shady. However, he had never expected Everett to turn his scheming ways against him.
Deep down, Everett knew Harvey had figured it all out, but he could not bring himself to admit it.
Then, he pushed on and said, "Mr. Ellison. I think there's a misunderstanding between us. We've been successful partners for years."
Hearing that, Harvey remained silent without casting so much as a glance at Everett.
Harvey's assistant came over and escorted Everett out, who knew there was no hope left in this endeavor, and so, he left, feeling defeated and resigned.
"Mr. Ellison? He's gone," the assistant reported.
"Alright," Harvey said in an icy tone. "Leave it. Get someone to keep an eye on Nicole."
"What are you suspecting?" the assistant asked.
