Chapter 2054
Nicole smiled and agreed. "You're right.
"Okay, I'm just here to bring you this piece of good news. I'm leaving now." Steve waved and left.
Nicole was in a good mood as the plan was going smoothly. She felt a lot more relaxed when she looked at the
documents too.
On the other hand, the air in Damien's office was extremely oppressive.
"What happened?! Somebody tell me what happened!" Damien roared as black thoughts raced through his mind.1
How did they f*ck this up?!'
"Uh..." Someone stuttered.
It was too late for them to say anything at this point.
"You can all leave now," Everett told them in a cold voice.

"Piss off." Damien waved his hand in annoyance.
They immediately scrambled out of the place as if their lives had just been spared.
After everyone had left, Damien's voice deepened, and he asked Everett, "What do you want to say?"
He knew that Everett would not get them to leave without a good reason, so he probably had something important
to say.
Everett's eyes dimmed as he replied, "I got someone to investigate this. This was a deliberate plan against us."
Damien frowned. "Who did it?!"
'How dare they plot against us?! They sure have the guts. Who in San Joto has the audacity to do this?!' he fumed.
"Steve," Everett said slowly.
"Him?!" Damien asked, feeling very skeptical. "Other than making money, he's actually playing mind games now?!"
'Something's not right. Steve didn't know about our plan. How could he act against us?' he pondered.
"There's a high chance that it's Nicole."
Even though Damien had not discovered any evidence as of yet, the secretive nature of their initial plan did not
seem to be something that Steve would be able to notice. For that reason alone, he suspected that it was Nicole
who had exposed and retaliated against them.
After all, when Nicole was gone for the past five years, they had been given the opportunities to pull some strings
for their own gain behind closed doors, even though their operations were nowhere as successful as the
headquarters. But ever since Nicole's return, they had been suffering crushing defeats. Because of this, he could
not help but have doubts about who the perpetrator was.
"That girl." Damien gritted his teeth in anger, for Nicole had ruined his plan once again.
"Dad, Nicole and Sean have found out about this, so we can't use it anymore. We have to think of other ways."
Everett's eyes darkened.
After all, building a reliable and mutually beneficial line of cooperation was not something that could be

"Fine." Damien nodded with frustration. "What a shame. We've been using Harmon Trading for years. It has secured
us several major projects in recent years."
What they did not expect was that Nicole would disrupt their connection with Harmon Trading as soon as she
returned.
"Yeah. Harmon Trading was our affiliated company in secret. No one knew about this. It really is a shame," Everett
agreed.
Besides, Nicole and her brothers might not fall for their trap if they employed the same methods again. This meant
that they could not establish any other shadow companies, and therefore, they had to think of other ways.
"Let's see if we can come up with other options," Damien said through gritted teeth, feeling helpless and upset.
"Okay." Everett nodded.
Then, Damien frowned and asked, "You said you were going to investigate Nicole. Any updates on that?"
"I haven't discovered anything unusual, but I just find it... strange." Everett furrowed his brows.
Though his investigation yielded nothing out of the ordinary, he just could not help but feel that something was off.
As to what it was, he could not put a finger on it.
