Chapter 2849
"I thought so too. But your grandfather told me he had to try. Otherwise, the entirety of Ellison Group will be mine," Nicole said.
Then, she smirked and continued, The only price I have to pay is that I'll have to take care of him until the very end of his life."
"Don’t you even dare think about it!" Harvey roared, instantly overcome with rage.
In response, Nicole shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, what are you going to do about it?"
”1 won't let you do whatever the hell you want, and I sure as hell won't let you have your way!" Harvey bellowed.
"How are you going to do that? You're going to fight back while lying on the hospital bed?" Nicole feigned surprise and gave Harvey a mocking stare.
She was not threatened by Harvey at all.
"Nicole!” Harvey suddenly got up from the bed and stared her down with a murderous glare.
With a slight smile, Nicole sized Harvey up before nodding in approval. "Not bad. I see you can actually stand up now. I thought you were planning to lie down like a vegetable for the rest of your life."
After a slight delay, Harvey raised his brow in complete puzzlement.
Then, his expression changed, and he gritted his teeth." Nicole, you're plotting against me again!?"
"Don't get so worked up," Nicole said, taking on a much more serious tone now. "Mr. Ellison really did make an effort for you. I may not have the right to interfere in the affairs of your family or comment about everything that has happened in the previous generation. However, you should know that he has always loved and cared for you, even though he did mess up in the past.
If it weren't for Thomas going out of his way to give his grandson a better life, Harvey would not have accomplished what he had thus far with relative ease.
Nicole's words left Harvey speechless there and then. In fact, he was aware of these things himself. Though he felt that it was Thomas' way of atoning for the sins of his past, he still felt that he deserved every single favor that Thomas owed him.
After a moment of contemplation, Harvey bit his tongue and said, "That is none of your business."
Nicole shrugged, indifferent to what Harvey just said. "I know, and that's why I don't want to get involved."
Then, she looked at him calmly and continued, "But please remember, although Ellison Group is still under your name, you have signed an agreement with me. If you can’t manage the company properly, I will have to consider other options."
