Chapter 2720


    “Don’t even bring it up. Harvey Ellison really is a piece of shit! He was up to no good from the very


    beginning!” Lulu ranted.


    Patricia frowned, “He really was pushing his luck, wasn’t he? And in front of such a huge crowd too. He


    really wasn’t afraid of any bacsh, it seems.”


    “I’d rather think that he’s simply too thick skinned to be bothered by any sort of significant bacsh,”


    Lulu grumbled as a grimace crossed her face.


    Patricia nodded in agreement, “Fair point.”


    As Lulu did not expect Patricia to nod along to her angry rants, she busted out into fits ofughter as


    she maintained her stare on Patricia’s expression.


    Patricia, on the other hand, looked serious and unamused.


    Patricia then turned to Nicole, “Ms. Riddle, I would advise you to avoid any further interaction with Mr.


    Ellison in the future.”


    “Don’t worry about that, Patricia. I will make sure that he will be avoiding Nicole in every way possible,”


    Lulu said with a smug smile stered on her face.


    However, what surprised Patricia was how expressionless Nicole was. ‘Nicole must’ve got something


    up her sleeves.1 “If there’s anything you need help with, you can always ask me,” Patricia said to Lulu.


    “I will. Thanks Patricia,” Lulu beamed.


    Patricia proceeded to return the smile. “You are most wee.”


    “I’ll head back to my office now if there isn’t anything else,” Lulu announced as she turned around and


    made her way back to her office.

    After a long period of silence, Nicole shot Patricia a nce.” We can speak in the office.”


    “Yes, Ms. Riddle,” Patricia replied, and followed Nicole into her office.


    Upon reaching Nicole’s office, Nicole cut straight to the chase. “So tell me, what seems to be the


    matter?”


    “I’ve managed to dig up a few things about Damien. He has been holed up in his residence recently.


    On top of that, he has been firing everyone from his ce.


    His cook is the only one who is left. I think it’s very suspicious,” Patricia reported.


    In response, Nicole furrowed her eyebrows. “He doesn’t even leave his own house anymore?”


    ‘I wonder how long he can stay indoors for,’ Nicole pondered.


    Patricia wore a solemn look as she replied, “Yes, apparently so. I’m not sure if he is nning


    something or not.”


    “Are you sure he’s inside?” Nicole asked.


    The situation in question was raising arge number of rm bells for her, as it was not normal for


    Damien to stay inside his house for extended periods of time.


    Patricia nodded. “Yes, he is in his residence. He hasn’t stepped a foot out since Chloe was detained.”


    Nicole’s expression darkened the instant she had heard Patricia’s answer. “It seems that he is just


    sitting at home, waiting for something to happen.”


    “Hold on…are you saying that he doesn’t have any influence over anything anymore, so he’s sitting


    around waiting for Everett?” Patricia interrupted.


    “It’s definitely possible that he is. Look into this matter immediately, and see if he has been contacting


    Everett, or if Everett has been paying any visits to him,”


    Nicole ordered.


    “Yes, Ms. Riddle.” Patricia nodded.


    “Keep your eyes peeled. Everett might be using a fake identity to travel to and navigate around San


    Joto,” Nicole advised.


    Patricia nodded again. “Yes, I’ll make sure of it.”


    Patricia left Nicole’s office shortly after, leaving Nicole to lean back against her seat as she gazed out of


    the window.1 If Damien really is waiting for someone or something, my guess is that he is waiting for


    Everett.’
