Although Harvey’s influence in Nottingbrook State was enough to get the police district chief to be in
awe of him, he was still not a local, and his influence was only a fraction of what it usually was.
However, now with the local ruling organ of Nottingbrook State showing up, everything changed.
Looking at how William dealt with James, it was something a foreigner cannot hope to achieve.
When Harvey thought of that, the emotions in his eyes ran deep.
‘How did Nicole manage to get Mr. William over? She’s just a Hustuaburgian. How does she have such
an ability? Even I don’t have the ability to call upon a lieutenant governor-level figure…”
He then recalled his grandpa kept trying to set him up with her. ‘Nicole, who are you?’ As he thought of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis, his eyes became even more gloomy. 1. As he left the police station, he gave Shawn a call.
“Investigate about Nicole thoroughly, especially from her time at Great Oak. I want you to scour every
nook and cranny! Also, there’s a boy beside her. I want you to find out who he is as
well.”
Edwin followed behind, and when he heard Harvey’s usually unhurried voice being so eager yet cold,
he knew very well how the flames of anger were lit inside Harvey. She was supposed to be a prey that
Harvey could just squish in his hands. Yet, she turns out to be the apex predator of the food chain, and
she’s probably more powerful than Harvey. Of course Harvey is mad.’
Edwin, on the other hand, was not angry. Nicole always surprised him, and he was now sure that the
force behind her could resolve the problems his company was now facing. ‘Just how am I supposed to
get her to help me.” A look of deep thought appeared in Edwin’s eyes.
At this moment, Harvey had already hung up the call, and his expression returned to his usual
gentleness. Yet he did not even give Edwin a glance as he looked at the two departing figures in the
distance and followed.
Nicole and Zeke were waiting for a taxi by the roadside. Looking at her expression, Zeke started to ask
the questions he had wanted to ask. *Nicole, were you the one who summoned Mr. William over?”
Nicole was looking at the road and just let out a noncommittal “Mhmm.” Zeke then tried to push for
more answers, “What’s the deal with you and him? Why is he so respectful to you?”
It was then did Nicole look at him. She had not been in contact with William much, but instead, she had
more contact with another person who was his colleague, the secretary to the governor of Nottingbrook
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmState, If there was ever a relationship, then after some thought, Nicole said, “We are in a cooperative
relationship, I suppose.”
‘A cooperative relationship?’
Zeke looked at Nicole, and when he recalled Mr. William’s extremely respectful expression, he
motioned that he was not buying it.
Nicole did not say much as she hailed a taxi. Just as she was about to get in, Harvey, who came from
behind, grabbed her wrist. 1
There was no smile on his face as he looked firmly at Nicole, with an almost imperceptible restlessness
in his voice.
“How did you know Mr. William?”
Zeke had already sat inside the taxi, and when he saw this, he jumped out. “What sort of schoolmate
are you? Why can’t you just talk normally instead of resorting to force?” When Harvey heard his voice,
he felt a surge of blood rushing up his head. His emotions, already on the brink, were even harder to
control now. He turned to look at Zeke, his eyes cold and black, as if a beast was locked within it.
