Chapter 1548
But the instant Nicole thought of Scott, she let out a sigh.
Prior to this, she had left him just like that.
Scott might not be aware of it yet, but the coboration between them would have to end soon.
There was little to be gained in forcing the both of them to work together any longer.
Without thinking too much into it, Nicole left the Golden Coast Building.
But just as she reached the lower floor and stepped out of the elevator, she bumped into Harvey, who
was on his way in.
Harvey did not seem to be in a good condition.He looked like he had not slept for the entire night as he
walked forward with therge, heavy bags under his eyes.
However, a fleeting glimpse of light shed in his tired eyes as soon as he saw her.
Nicole proceeded to ignore the look on his face, even if she had noticed it.
Harvey then went up to her, and in a faint voice, he asked, "You''re here this early?"
During the night before, Harvey had not been able to sleep because of her.But when they met again
that morning, he did not have the heart to ignore her.
"Yes."'' Nicole nodded.
Instantly, a sharp pain radiated across his eyes.
Nicole noticed the look in his eyes and began to feel a little ufortable.
In response to that, she simply said, "Thank you for the help you''ve given Kelly and the rest.Our
research has ended today, so we''ll be moving out in three days."
‘She was serious about what she said yesterday,'' Harvey thought, his expression turning stiff.His heart
was heavy and aching, as if a rock was pressing against it.
However, his pride prevented him from pleading to her.
All he replied was, "Okay."
"That''s all.I''m leaving."
As soon as Nicole had spoken, she turned around and left.
Having seen how merciless Nicole was to him, Harvey knew he could not stand her treatment toward
him anymore.He turned around the left in anger.He did not want Nicole to think of him as a worthless
person by bugging her.
Meanwhile, Nicole had just walked out of the building when she saw a text from Zeke on her phone.
Remembering that Karlo was still in bad shape, she began to wonder how he was doing.
Perhaps, she should pay them a visit.
And visit them she did, when she turned the car around and headed straight to the Guzman family
manor.
The Guzman family was a military family, and so, it would make sense that their family manor was
located at the very top of the row of vis belonging to members of the army.
After Nicole''s car had passed the first curve, she saw a checkpoint.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Having guessed that Zeke had prepared for this, Nicole announced her name, "Nicole Riddle."
Once the guard had heard her name, he removed the barricade, allowing her to enter.
After passing through seven checkpoints in total, Nicole finally arrived at the entrance of the Guzman
family manor.
The servant of the Guzman family had been at the entrance, waiting for hours.
Upon noticing her arrival, the servant weed her politely, and with poise, he said, "Follow me, Miss
Riddle."
Judging from the servant''s straight posture and meticulous bodily movements, Nicole could tell that he
was a soldier too.
Even the guards on the road were of military background.
With that said, regr people would never be able to enter the Guzman family manor with ease.
Even if Nicole and Carl were to sneak into that ce, they might not be able to escape.
Soon after, the servant brought her past the open-air corridor to a three-story building which was well
hidden within the backyard.
Nicole nced over, instantly knowing that the exterior of the building was patrolled by countless
security details and guards.
'' So, the manor in the middle is actually the Guzman family''s real house.
After she had entered the hall, the servant led her into an elevator, which brought them up to the hall at
the highest level.
In contrast to the exterior where soldiers and guards were on high alert, the interior was not as intense.
The ce was no longer lined with watchful eyes like how it was out there.
Instead, the atmosphere within seemed a lot more home-like.
"Nicole!"
