Chapter 2781
The carer understood Thomas’ perspective, so she quietly walked off to pack his luggage. Meanwhile,
Thomas was looking out of his window, his face creased and wrinkled in deep contemtion. His body
had significantly improved after the treatment he had received. He knew that Nicole was the one who
had provided such support to him.
Besides, he also understood that she had no bad blood with Harvey and just wanted to help him.
Thomas had, through the hard way, learned that Harvey had indeed morphed into a wicked person
over the years. He had always felt guilty for Harvey’s unfortunate upbringing, which had led him to
enable Harvey. But then, he realized that his indulgence of him had resulted in Harvey bing what
he was.
Harvey’s life should have been peaceful, happy andfortable, not filled with darkness and
uncontrolled madness. If Harvey continued totch onto his past, he would be forever stuck in his past
with no hope of ever finding peace.
“Forget it,” Thomas sighed, his eyes revealing a determined resolve.
At this point, it was toote to change his mind, as he had already agreed to Nicole’s ns. All he had
to do now was to stay firm until the very end. He believed in doing so. At the very least, Harvey could
get his redemption, albeit in a way he had never anticipated.
In the afternoon, sunlight poured in, casting a warm glow in Nicole’s room. After she had eaten her
lunch, Nicole began lounging around until she heard a knock on the office door.
“Come in,” Nicole said.

After the door had opened, Er walked in.
Nicole raised her brows in curiosity. “What brought you here? n “I’m here to treat you to a meal,” Er
smirked. “We’ve agreed on it earlier, so why not make it today?”
“Today?” Nicole asked, eyeing Er with a mischievous look etched on her face.
“The final results are not out yet, but you’re celebrating an early victory already?
Are you really so confident that you’lle up on top?”
“You said I didn’t have to secure the final bid, and that all I have to do is get my foot through the door.
Well, here I am. I’m feeling good, so I thought, why don’t I treat everyone to a meal? Besides, it’s my
way of showing gratitude to those who’ve helped me,” Er asserted.
Nicole then rolled her eyes at Er, and revealed, “I can see your ulterior motives, dude. You’re not just
celebrating your progress.”
“Hehe, not at all,” Er chuckled, running his hand through his hair while refusing to admit what he was
up to.
However, Nicole had already seen through Er’s intentions as she shook her head in amusement. It
was obvious to her that Er was doing this for Patricia.
“You can ask Patricia. I’m fine with anything,” Nicole replied, finally giving Er an out.
“Okay, thanks!” Er beamed and marched out of her office, which left Nicole chuckling at his inability
to be subtle.
Er then went straight to find Patricia and proposed, “Let’s have dinner tonight.”
“No thanks,” Patricia declined, getting increasingly irritated by Er’s presumptuous behavior.
“Nicole has already agreed. Aren’t you responsible for protecting her?” Er said, bringing up Nicole’s
involvement.
“Ms. Riddle is going too?” she asked while frowning.
“Yep, I said I was going to buy everyone dinner for their help before,” Er grinned, feeling triumphant.
He thought there was no way Patricia could decline his offer if he put it that way.
“Since it’s a thank-you for everyone’s help, Ms. Riddle and I aren’t the only ones who’ll be there, right?”
Patricia probed.
Without much thought, Er readily responded, “Of course not. Everyone is wee to join.”
“Alright then, you can go now,” Patricia said, lowering her head to focus on her work.
“Erm. So, are you joining?” Er tested. “Well, I’ll take that as a yes.”
Patricia’s attitude was strange, but the bottom line was, she did not explicitly decline his invitation.
Thus, Er assumed she had agreed.
