My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

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.

Harvey's pupils narrowed as he explained, "Nicole's not someone who'll take a loss lying down."

Harvey refused to believe Nicole would stand idly by, knowing full well what James' and Raine's ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

ambitions for DillCorp were. The perfect strategy for him now was to weaken his enemies before they

could amass enough strength to go toe-to-toe with him.

"Understood," the assistant replied and left the room.

Looking away, Harvey’s gaze grew colder. He had always known of Everett's treacherous schemes.

However, he was not aware of how stupid Everett was under the cover of his grand ambitions. With

that said, he was of no use to Harvey anymore.

Meanwhile, Everett had already gotten into the car downstairs, whereupon he ordered the driver,

"Drive."

"Yes, sir," the chauffeur replied and started the car.

He brought the car forward cautiously, not daring to make any mistakes. It was evident that Everett was

in a bad mood, so he was aware that he should not do anything on the road that would set him off.

"Mr. Riddle, did the discussion not go as smoothly as planned?" Everett's assistant asked.

"Harvey knows everything. He won't work with me anymore," Everett said, pale in the face.

Without Harvey's support, Everett's future plans would just become more challenging. It would be great

if he had taken over DillCorp this time round. However, he had lost the battle, and to top it all off, he

had lost it to James.

"What comes next, then?" The assistant's face blanched.

All these years, each and every action of his had received the support of Harvey and the Ellison Group,

but now that they were no longer working together, all of his plans would be doomed before they could

even begin.

"What then? What do you think I paid you for?" Everett struck the ceiling of the car.

The assistant flinched and timidly suggested, "Perhaps we can think of another way. We can try to take

DillCorp over from Raine. After all, she doesn't have what it takes to maintain it. DillCorp won't prosper

under her management."

"That's easy to say. James is not an easy person to deal with, " Everett retorted.

If Everett had not carelessly ignored James, he would never have ended up in this situation.

"We didn't have our guard up against him before. We'll be more cautious next time," the assistant

assured in a trembling voice.
