Chapter 556

Mr.Ellison snapped back from his thoughts when he heard Harvey's voice.He looked a little sad, but his
expression quickly returned to being as solemn as usual.

"It doesn't matter."

At this point, he turned to look at Harvey.

"I sure will let you lead the entire Ellison family in the future.You will be the one who decides the course
of cooperation with the Holder family."

Harvey was startled, not expecting his grandpa to make such a promise to him.He felt he could finally
breathe a sigh of relief.

Lloyd followed Nicole to walk out of the building.

He seemed to have something to say, but was hesitating to say.He just followed her quietly.

Nicole's feelings for Lloyd were a complicated one.

In her eyes, Lloyd was just one of her patients.

They had once been on a mission together, during which Lloyd was seriously injured.

Apart from physical injuries, the most terrible thing was that he also suffered from psychological
trauma.He had fear of the dark, as if a physiological reflex, almost to the point of extremes.

Nicole cured him using an extreme method of therapy, but that also left behind a side effect that she
thought as insignificant.



She left, hoping that Lloyd would be better off.She looked back at the person behind her.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

Lloyd looked at Nicole with surprise on his handsome face, as he did not expect her to talk to him.It
took him a lot of time and effort to find her, and he was not going to let her get out of his sight again.

‘It turns out that she is Nicole, who has saved me twice"

"Where are you going?" he asked.

Nicole frowned at his question.She did not think their relationship had reached the point where he could
ask about her itinerary.

"It's none of your business," she said coldly.

Lloyd was confused by her reply.He reached out to grab Nicole's hand, but as she had done at the
banquet the other day, she easily avoided his hand.

"Nicole, I just want to know more about you," he said.

His voice was pleasant, and because of the gentle tone, it was hard to detect the hint of pleading
undertone.But Nicole was acutely aware of it.She looked at Lloyd with a dilemmatic look in her eyes.

"Why on earth do you care so much about me? Just because I saved you?"

Lloyd looked with emotions at her beautiful face.He gently closed his tender eyes, and when he opened
them again, they were as calm as the sea with no emotion in them.

"You don't know how important you are to me," he said.



'Had she known about it, she wouldn't have left me so quietly"

But Nicole could not understand what he was saying, just looking him in the eyes helplessly.

"Vitas, don't be stubborn.We just went on a mission together; we didn't know each other much at all,"
she said.

Lloyd frowned instantly before he let out a smile with the look of a stranger and a little stubbornness in
his eyes.

"Hello, Nicole, since we don't know each other well, let's reacquaint ourselves.My Hustuaburgian name
is Lloyd."

Nicole was speechless and did not know what to say anymore.

In the CEO's office of the JJ Johnston Group, Jared was enjoying coffee when his mobile phone
rang.He glanced at it and his face turned serious when he saw it was a strange number.

But he picked it up, anyway.

As soon as he answered, an urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.
