My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2540

Chapter 2540

The auction organizers frowned with confusion after examining the two documents in front of them.

They checked to ensure that no additional documents were being submitted, and then shook their

heads, proceeding to open the documents submitted by Harvey and Nicole.

"Wait a moment." At that moment, Max walked up to the stage and placed a document in Nicole's pile.

He informed the auction organizers, "This is supplementary material."

Some people could not help but murmur. "Is that allowed?"

"Mr. Johnston obviously came in person to support Ms. Riddle. What's so strange about that?"

someone retorted, a bit disdainful.

"That's right. There's nothing against the rules, so why not?" another person chimed in. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"But..." The individual who had raised the question thought for a moment and decided to keep quiet.

Although it did not violate the rules, it was an unprecedented situation.

However, he knew he could not do anything to interfere, so he chose to remain silent.

The auction organizers clearly had not anticipated such a situation. They hesitated for a moment before

finally opening the supplementary materials submitted by Max.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, and everyone was waiting anxiously to hear the final outcome.

It seemed like an eternity before the auction organizers took any action.

One of them stood up, glanced at the audience below, and then spoke loudly. "Regarding the auction of

NandoCorp, conducted at the request of relevant authorities, we now announce the final result..."

There was a pause, and then the auction organizer continued, "After careful consideration and

evaluation, we have decided to accept the proposal from Riddle Corporation and auction NandoCorp to

Riddle Corporation."

"Riddle Corporation won, just as expected," someone whispered, sounding relieved.

"Of course. After all, it's all part of the Riddle family's assets. Although they’ve split their operations,

they're all still part of the Riddle family."

"That's true."

Listening to the chatter around her, Nicole remained calm and indifferent. She did not seem surprised

by the result, as if she had been prepared to accept any outcome.

"Congratulations. You've won."

Nicole stood up when she heard Harvey's voice. She glanced at him with a faint smile and replied

politely, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. If you ever feel guilty about it, why not treat me to a meal?" Harvey added, as if he

did not care much about the result either.

"I won't," Nicole replied coldly. Then she left with Jared.

She was not fooled by Harvey's apparent graciousness. It was all an act, and she could not be

bothered to play along.

Harvey's expression darkened as he watched Nicole link her arm with Jared's. The aura around him

seemed to darken as well.

Sensing that, people who had initially thought about approaching him for conversation discreetly left,

hesitant to disturb Harvey at this moment.

"Mr. Ellison, everyone has left. Shall we go too?" his assistant asked cautiously.

"What happened to all the preparations?" Harvey's gaze was chillingly cold as he looked at his

assistant.

The assistant could not help but shrink as he explained," Well, I really didn't expect Mr. Johnston would

make a move. If

Jared's intervention with the supplementary materials had caught them off guard. For that reason, it

was only normal for them to lose. However, the assistant would never say this out loud.

"Hmph." Harvey snorted disapprovingly and stormed away.

He had to pretend not to care in front of Nicole, as if he were playing a game with her. But in reality, he

was quite concerned about the outcome of this auction, as it was the first step in his plan.
