Chapter 2431
Harvey's expression was icy cold as he darted his eyes at Everett. "What are you doing here?"
"Mr. Ellison, I had no idea James was such a cunning one. I underestimated him, not knowing that he has been playing dumb all along," Everett fumed, choked with rage and frustration.
Everett was convinced that he would have bagged DillCorp had it not been for James.
With his eyes trained on Everett, Harvey replied, "This has nothing to do with me. Regardless of whether you win or lose, it doesn't affect me."
Everett suddenly felt a pang of guilt, but then, he continued in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ellison, I don't understand what you're saying."
"It doesn't matter anymore. But remember, don't come to me in the future any longer. I want nothing to do with someone who has proven time and again to be a thorn in my side," Harvey finished and turned to his assistant.
"Walk him out, and don't ever let him in ever again," he said.
Initially, Harvey had thought that Everett was just the right amount of ruthless and shady. However, he had never expected Everett to turn his scheming ways against him.
Deep down, Everett knew Harvey had figured it all out, but he could not bring himself to admit it.
Then, he pushed on and said, "Mr. Ellison. I think there's a misunderstanding between us. We've been successful partners for years."
Hearing that, Harvey remained silent without casting so much as a glance at Everett.
Harvey's assistant came over and escorted Everett out, who knew there was no hope left in this endeavor, and so, he left, feeling defeated and resigned.
"Mr. Ellison? He's gone," the assistant reported.
"Alright," Harvey said in an icy tone. "Leave it. Get someone to keep an eye on Nicole."
"What are you suspecting?" the assistant asked.
Without Harvey's support, Everett's future plans would just become more challenging. It would be great if he had taken over DillCorp this time round. However, he had lost the battle, and to top it all off, he had lost it to James.
"What comes next, then?" The assistant's face blanched.
All these years, each and every action of his had received the support of Harvey and the Ellison Group, but now that they were no longer working together, all of his plans would be doomed before they could even begin.
"What then? What do you think I paid you for?" Everett struck the ceiling of the car.
The assistant flinched and timidly suggested, "Perhaps we can think of another way. We can try to take DillCorp over from Raine. After all, she doesn't have what it takes to maintain it. DillCorp won't prosper under her management."
"That's easy to say. James is not an easy person to deal with, " Everett retorted.
If Everett had not carelessly ignored James, he would never have ended up in this situation.
"We didn't have our guard up against him before. We'll be more cautious next time," the assistant assured in a trembling voice.
