Jared wondered why Mr. Ellison suddenly changed his attitude after learning about her relationship with
Nicole.
He frowned and wondered if Mr. Ellison knew something about Nicole.
But he did not think it was proper to ask since the deal between them was also a matter of course. “As
long as you agree, someone will deliver the contract soon.”
Mr. Ellison nodded at once. “Thank you. I’ll ask Harvey to liaise with you about the cooperation.”
“Harvey, your grandson?” Jared was surprised, but he had heard about him before. Over the past six
months, Mr. Ellison had entrusted almost all of his business to Harvey. After all, Harvey was his only
grandson, and Harvey’s parents were gone. So Mr. Ellison was desperate to hand over the company to
Harvey.
“Yes, is there anything wrong with that?” Mr. Ellison asked in puzzlement.
“Nah, I just think young people might not be able to handle such a heavy responsibility.” Jared frowned.
After all, Harvey was only a junior at the Royal Creek Institute and had not yet graduated.
“Try him, and you will know. I will take over if Harvey can’t handle it.” Mr. Ellison assured him.
Jared could say nothing but agree. “Well, since that’s the case, then I hope our cooperation will be a
success.”
“Great.” Mr. Ellison smiled, feeling relieved.
He thought if Jared was really dating Nicole, he had to cooperate with him; otherwise, he would be in
trouble if Jared was not on his side next time.
Jared looked at Mr. Ellison, who was all smiles but whose thoughts were hard to guess, After
discussing the cooperation with Mr. Ellison, Jared left.
Mr. Ellison sighed as he watched Jared leave. “Alas, this guy from the Johnston family is so blessed.
He will grow even more powerful with Nicole by his side. Henry Johnston has got no chance.”
By this time, Nicole had arrived at the class and found that Vivian was not in her seat.
As soon as Nicole sat down, Lulu came up to her and said, “I heard Vivian was sick. She must be too
embarrassed to come to school.”
Nicole did not give a damn. “It doesn’t matter to us if she comes or not.”
“You’re right.” Lulu poked her tongue out and went to collect the homework.
Just then, Gary came over and looked at Nicole with guilt in his eyes. “I’m sorry. I checked the school
surveillance yesterday but didn’t find any clues.”
No one had ever seen Gary cave in and apologize to anyone. But he did today, to the surprise of
everyone. They all guessed that Gary behaved differently this time because Nicole had saved his life.
So they all became more respectful to Nicole.
But Nicole was unaware of what they thought. She just looked at Gary calmly. “It’s okay. It wasn’t your
fault.”
Gary sighed. “You were only injured because of me. It was my family who supplied the school’s
surveillance system, but the saboteur had deliberately avoided all the surveillance cameras.” He had
looked at all the security footage but still made no progress.
Nicole knew the saboteur would definitely avoid all the security cameras. “I got it. I’ll investigate.”
Gary got back to his seat in frustration. He knew that Nicole might have her own way, but he still felt
guilty that he was of no help.
Jack and Wayne looked at each other, surprised by their boss’s action. They had never seen him lower
himself in front of others until now. It looks like he cares about Nicole a lot.’
Today was Nicole’s first day as a class monitor. She had to attend to many affairs and report to the
student union. So today was the busiest day since Nicole came to this school.
Stanley was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, coming up to congratulate Nicole at seeing her come to the
meeting on behalf of Class B of eleventh grade.
