Chapter 2695
"Let's wait for another opportunity. It's impossible now since our hands are tied. I'll let you go on a vacation some other time," Nicole said.
There were far too many things around the office that required Nicole’s decision and attention, and among them was the mess that Chloe had left for them to deal with.
Patricia had also been swamped with work. For the past week, she had been dealing with everything at Riddle Corporation on her own. Even with Lulu's return, there would be very little she could do to lessen the workload.
"I know I may not be of much help to you, but I know a thing or two that may be able to help you in dealing with Harvey," Lulu informed with a serious look on her face.
After all, Lulu had thought of handling all ongoing projects between Riddle Corporation and Ellison Group before.' Perhaps I'll be able to help her out a little.'
"Sounds good. I'll leave Harvey to you, then" Nicole said.
She believed that Lulu would be able to deal with Harvey alone as he was less of a threat and more of a nuisance. Though he was a piece of work, Lulu was more than capable of going toe-to-toe with him.
"Okay, I have already asked Patricia to send all the documents over. I'll have a closer look at the details before anything else. I'll report to you if there's anything that requires your attention," Lulu finished.
With that, Nicole smiled. "Okay."
'Something within Lulu has changed. I’m not sure what it is but I'm liking it,' Nicole thought.
"I'll leave you be for now," Lulu said, and left the office.
There was an air of determination radiating from her presence.
Not long after Lulu had excused herself, a knock on Nicole's office door caught her attention.
"Come in," she said.
After the door had opened, Patricia walked in with a frown." Mr. Riddle Sr. has stopped all financial support for Chloe's treatment as she isn’t going to any of them. Do you think she's given up on getting better?"
"I think it's all an act she has put up for all of us to see." Nicole sneered. "If she had half the mind to call it quits, how did she manage to keep it up for such a long time? She would've given up a long time ago if she wasn't able to persist, so why now?"
"Yes, and one should always remain patient and create opportunities to attack when the enemy least expects it,’ Nicole replied. "We need to teach them a lesson and show them who's in charge."
"But what if they manage to hurt you?" Patricia asked.
She was puzzled by what Nicole was up to, and as much as she wanted to catch Chloe red-handed, getting Nicole kidnapped or hurt was definitely not in her agenda.
"If we prevent them from making a move, how are we going to bust them in the act?" Nicole argued as she imagined catching Chloe red-handed and exposing her true nature to everyone present.
'If Chloe fails to turn up, all of my plans would go down the gutter. Capturing her lackeys in the act wouldn't do much either. I need to get her to show up in person,' Nicole inferred.
"It does sound like a good idea, but I think it's far too dangerous for you to work alone on this without any sort of backup," Patricia argued with concern in her voice and anxiety written all over her face.
"Don't worry about me. You can follow me around and ensure my safety before I meet Chloe in person as I unfold her sinister plans to everyone," Nicole replied, her voice tinged with cold fury.
'I wonder why she would do something so embarrassing to herself, knowing it would just come back and bite her in the ass someday,' Nicole wondered. 'She should have just given up. Her greed would not get her anywhere. Still, for as long as I am alive, she won't be getting her way. I won't put myself in harm's way because of her antics either.'
