Chloe had been away from home and had no idea that Nicole and Mr. Ellison knew each other.
She thought that Nicole dared to snub Harvey only because of her relationship with the Riddle family.
This country bumpkin hasn’t even figured out the situation in Northon!’ she secretly sneered.
‘She offends everyone she meets.
She is a fool, only good at looking for trouble.’
Chloe crossed her arms and stood in Nicole’s way.
Nicole’s eyes turned stern when she saw Chloe push Zeke away.
Zeke was her partner on the Internet for years.
She treated him like her brother, and she would allow no one to bully him.
She helped Zeke up and then looked Chloe in the eyes with icy eyes and said in an icy voice,” It’s your
business to flatter Harvey, but it doesn’t mean I’m afraid of Harvey.
Apologize to Zeke immediately.”
Her stare frightened Chloe, who involuntarily stepped back behind Harvey.
Nicole still stared at Chloe with an icy indifference in her eyes, as if her stare could freeze the blood.
After being exposed, Chloe was ashamed and infuriated.
She looked up at Harvey, but he instead was staring at Nicole, not sparing her a glance.
A tinge of bitter look flashed in her eyes.
Chloe thought Harvey would help her when she had spoken up for him.
But the turn of events disappointed Chloe.
When she had just stepped back behind Harvey, expecting his help, Harvey took a step forward and
walked up to Nicole instead.
He took out a plain black box from his pocket, gently opened it, and said softly to Nicole, “Don’t be angry,
okay? Here’s an apology gift for you.”
As soon as the box was opened, the glittering light from the box dazzled Chloe’s eyes.
It was that ten-carat pink diamond.
It turned out that Harvey was the buyer of the pink diamond worth a hundred million dollars, and now he
was giving it to Nicole.
Chloe clenched her teeth in anger.
Indignation and jealousy almost overwhelmed her sanity as she looked at the pink diamond.
Nicole was looking at the pink diamond, but no one knew what she was thinking.
Harvey gazed at her expression, the look in his eyes oscillating between anticipation and
disappointment.
‘Will she accept it? Do I want her to accept it?’
Nicole looked up at Harvey with an impassive look after two seconds.
“I’m thinking about what you’re trying to pull here, Harvey.
This isn’t going to work on me.” Her voice was lukewarm.
“This isn’t going to work on me.”
Nicole avoided Harvey’s hand and looked straight at Chloe.
“Apologize to Zeke.”
There was a flash of cold light in Nicole’s eyes when she looked at Chloe, but to Harvey, it appeared
even more brilliant than the diamond in his hand.
He still maintained the gesture of handing out the diamond, but with a broader smile on his face.
Harvey realized Nicole was not someone whom he could bribe with expensive things.
Nicole did not notice Harvey’s expression, as she was still looking at Chloe.
“If you, as a public figure, don’t want to embarrass yourself, apologize to Zeke immediately.”
Nicole’s words struck Chloe’s soft spot.
Chloe looked at the diamond in Harvey’s hand and then at Nicole’s spotless, beautiful face.
Chloe’s face contorted involuntarily.
A strange thought came to her mind for a moment.
She looked at Harvey’s attitude and wondered if he and Nicole had some kind of indescribable
relationship
‘But doesn’t Harvey have a thing with Snow? What the hell is happening during my absence?’
