Chapter 2054


    Nicole smiled and agreed. "You''re right."


    "Okay, I''m just here to bring you this piece of good news. I''m leaving now." Steve waved and left.


    Nicole was in a good mood as the n was going smoothly. She felt a lot more rxed when she


    looked at the documents too.


    On the other hand, the air in Damien''s office was extremely oppressive.


    "What happened?! Somebody tell me what happened!" Damien roared as ck thoughts raced through


    his mind. ''How did they f*ck this up?!''


    "Uh…" Someone stuttered.


    It was toote for them to say anything at this point.


    "You can all leave now," Everett told them in a cold voice.


    They then nced at Damien, waiting for his permission.


    "Piss off." Damien waved his hand in annoyance.


    They immediately scrambled out of the ce as if their lives had just been spared.


    After everyone had left, Damien''s voice deepened, and he asked Everett, "What do you want to say?"


    He knew that Everett would not get them to leave without a good reason, so he probably had


    something important to say.

    Everett''s eyes dimmed as he replied, "I got someone to investigate this. This was a deliberate n


    against us."


    Damien frowned. "Who did it?!"


    ''How dare they plot against us?! They sure have the guts. Who in San Joto has the audacity to do


    this?!'' he fumed.


    "Steve," Everett said slowly.


    "Him?!" Damien asked, feeling very skeptical. "Other than making money, he''s actually ying mind


    games now?!"


    ''Something''s not right. Steve didn''t know about our n. How could he act against us?'' he pondered.


    "There''s a high chance that it''s Nicole."


    Even though Damien had not discovered any evidence as of yet, the secretive nature of their initial n


    did not seem to be something that Steve would be able to notice. For that reason alone, he suspected


    that it was Nicole who had exposed and retaliated against them.


    After all, when Nicole was gone for the past five years, they had been given the opportunities to pull


    some strings for their own gain behind closed doors, even though their operations were nowhere as


    sessful as the headquarters. But ever since Nicole''s return, they had been suffering crushing


    defeats. Because of this, he could not help but have doubts about who the perpetrator was.


    "That girl." Damien gritted his teeth in anger, for Nicole had ruined his n once again.


    "Dad, Nicole and Sean have found out about this, so we can''t use it anymore. We have to think of other


    ways." Everett''s eyes darkened.


    After all, building a reliable and mutually beneficial line of cooperation was not something that could be


    aplished overnight.


    "Fine." Damien nodded with frustration. "What a shame. We''ve been using Harmon Trading for years. It


    has secured us several major projects in recent years."


    What they did not expect was that Nicole would disrupt their connection with Harmon Trading as soon


    as she returned.


    "Yeah. Harmon Trading was our affiliatedpany in secret. No one knew about this. It really is a


    shame," Everett agreed.


    Besides, Nicole and her brothers might not fall for their trap if they employed the same methods again.


    This meant that they could not establish any other shadowpanies, and therefore, they had to think


    of other ways.


    "Let''s see if we cane up with other options," Damien said through gritted teeth, feeling helpless


    and upset.


    "Okay." Everett nodded.


    Then, Damien frowned and asked, "You said you were going to investigate Nicole. Any updates on


    that?"


    "I haven''t discovered anything unusual, but I just find it…strange." Everett furrowed his brows.


    Though his investigation yielded nothing out of the ordinary, he just could not help but feel that


    something was off. As to what it was, he could not put a finger on it.
