Chapter 1339
Harvey glanced at him, before continuing to go through his documents.
Noticing that Harvey was oddly calm, Edward stared at him in bafflement and said, "It surprises me that you're not even
showing a tad bit of disappointment."
'This guy had threatened me just earlier, forcing me to do it and now he doesn't even look like he had an ounce of damn
to give,' Edward fumed from within.
"I knew she wouldn't say yes," Harvey said. 'Nicole already has someone in her heart, so it would be odd if she agreed. I
have nothing to lose if she rejects me.'
Edward could not help but stare in bafflement when he understood what had just happened. "You know why it was going
to work out? Then why did you get me to ask her out on your behalf? Are you kidding me?"
Harvey raised his eyes coldly. "So what?"

He gritted his teeth and yelled, "You're shameless!"
By the time Edward had uttered those words, he had lost all interests in having lunch with Harvey, and hence, he
turned around and left. Harvey was then left to sift through his documents after the door had closed.
A sense of emptiness was lingering in his heart. Though he did not show it, he did not like how Nicole always
rejected him. 'When will I ever develop a closer bond with her?'
Meanwhile, Nicole had walked out of the Golden Coast building. She had done all of that to deceive Edward into
thinking she had an appointment, but now, she was truly starving. She wanted to grab a meal at once, but it was at
this moment that her phone rang.
She reached out to answer the phone, and a mature voice sounded from the other end.
"Miss Riddle."
Nicole thought for a long while before recognizing it as the voice of Alfred, an old house butler for the Riddle's
family.
"Alfred? What's the matter?"
Alfred heard that Nicole had recognized his voice, and immediately said,' Yes, it's me... Mr. Riddle Sr. does not seem
to be doing well as of recent. He has refused to go to the hospital..."
Alfred knew that Nicole had some medical knowledge, which was the reason as to why he called.
"Alright, I'll be back as soon as possible." Though it was only lunch break, there was still enough time to fit a
roundtrip in. Nicole then headed to the parking lot and drove to the Riddle family manor.
'The Riddle family manor is exceptionally quiet today. It seems that grandpa is ill and did not want to alarm anyone,'
Nicole thought.
Though the house was quite deserted, Alfred seemed a little excited when he saw Nicole.
He began to fill Nicole in on the condition of Mr. Riddle Sr., "He caught a cold last night and has not been feeling well
today. He refuses to go to the hospital as he thinks it's a common which will go away on its own."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlfred could not help but issue a sigh. 'Even now, he refuses to accept that he is aging.'
Nicole walked up the flight of stairs before reaching out to knock on the door.
Thinking it was Alfred, Mr. Riddle Sr. responded, "Come in."
Nicole pushed the door open and walked in. "Grandpa?"
Mr. Riddle Sr. who was on the rocking chair opened his eyes when he heard Nicole's voice. He immediately got excited
when he saw Nicole, "Oh my, why are you here? Come sit down quickly."
In response, Nicole took a seat directly across her grandfather.
"How could you find time to come here when you're so busy?" he asked. Mr. Riddle Sr. knew Nicole was out there doing
great things, although he never had never asked.
"Are you sick?" Nicole asked without beating around the bush.
"What did Alfred tell you? He's really getting more and more out of line as of late." Mr. Riddle Sr. said, immediately feeling
embarrassed.
Nicole issued a sigh and reached out to feel his pulse. Although he disliked seeing the doctors, he could still accept
Nicole's methods of coming up with a diagnosis. He had to put his stubbornness aside and let Nicole feel his pulse.
