Nicole stepped on her high heels and got on the elevator without saying a word of nonsense.Logan and Luca stood behind her left and right, completely blocking Jacob from getting close to Nicole.Jacob looked at her guiltily but did not dare to take the initiative to talk.In the conference room, all the information had been prepared.When they passed by the door, they saw a man dressed in construction overalls standing there. He was covered in dirt and looked tan, thin, and timid as a mouse. He looked like a simple and honest man.Nicole looked at him and called him in.Jacob did not even dare to sit down. He stood to the side and stared at the worker.“This is President Nicole Stanton. Repeat everything that happened to her again.”“I... I really didn’t mean to. I was drunk...”The worker looked very aggrieved.It was just a few words.How did it cause such a large disaster?He had to speak to the foreman, supervisor, manager, and then the director. Now, there was a woman
The worker froze. His hands clenched in anxiousness.“Of course not. Can I continue working here?”Jacob’s mouth twitched. He wanted to fire this person long ago.If not for the fact that things were not clear yet and he was worried that firing the worker would only turn him against them, causing a more serious impact on the project, he would not have kept this worker until now.However, the worker actually said that he wanted to stay and work here?Did he not bring them enough bad luck already?His resume was brilliant enough and Nicole gave him such a big cake, but he repeatedly encountered various difficulties.He was almost too ashamed to meet others.However, Nicole only smiled faintly and nodded in assurance.“Of course. If it’s found that what you did wasn’t on purpose, of course, you can continue to work here.”The worker stiffened for a moment before immediately standing up in excitement. He was just about to step forward, but Luca came up from behind Nicole and stop
If the workers were dismissed because of a few words, they would become displeased in their hearts. It would be troublesome if they ended up tampering with future projects.More seriously, the foreman might even run away with the workers.How could they be asked to be aware of their contracts?There was no way.Thus, Nicole’s method only looked like she was being soft-hearted, but she had eliminated all the potential threats.Jacob had to admit that all the contempt he felt for Nicole in the beginning had turned into admiration now.It was no wonder Floyd Stanton could leave Stanton Corporation behind with ease. It was no wonder Grant Stanton was willing to play second fiddle to her.It was because Nicole was worthy!Jacob looked at Nicole and suddenly felt a rekindled hope in his heart.With her around, there was no problem that could not be solved.“Ms. Stanton, I think that at this moment, the best move is to find that reporter and figure out what his purpose is. Then we c
Jacob Cook did not understand. “But why would Mr. Ferguson do such a thing? According to his character, he won’t find trouble with us because of this. This project isn’t considered Stanton Corporation’s most important project, so even if the work is really stopped, it won’t affect us much, so why would he do such a thing?”It was just a waste of effort.If Eric Ferguson wanted to deal with someone, it would be so sudden that no one would know what happened until it was too late.He would not let them anticipate his attack.It would not be like this trivial thing today that they noticed.Nicole also knew that what Jacob said made sense. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke.“Perhaps, it’s not Eric Ferguson’s intention?”Although Eric calls the shots in Ferguson Corporation, he had so many employees under him. The middle and senior management had over a hundred people, so someone was bound to do things on their own accord.Logan and Jacob looked at Nicole in unison.Nico
The voices inside seemed to fall silent for a moment.Those gazes were surprised, appreciative, and amazed.Nicole swept a glance and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. She finally looked at a majestic-looking old man.She smiled. “Hello, Uncle Leonard.”Old Master Leonard seemed to be stunned for a moment. He then smiled and greeted her.“Nicole, come here quickly. I’ve attended your first birthday party, and now look at you! In a blink of an eye, you’re such a big girl now…”Nicole smiled and politely walked over.It was not important whether Old Master Leonard really attended Nicole’s first birthday party. What was more important was that his attitude was still respectable.Nicole ignored the equally surprised Keith Ludwig on the side, walked over modestly, and smiled.“Uncle Leonard, I’ve wanted to come over to visit you for a long time, but I only show up now. Please don’t blame me for being rude.”Old Master Leonard laughed. He looked like he had seen all sort
The waiter on the side handed over a glass of juice. Nicole said thanks and took it over, then gently took a sip.Keith stood on the side and watched. “Why aren’t you curious that I’m here?”Nicole looked at him calmly.“Why should I be curious?”It had nothing to do with her.Keith choked and suddenly did not know what to say.“What are you doing here? Are you here to ask for help from the Old Master?”Nicole replied, “Mm.”Keith smiled and rubbed his chin. “What a coincidence! Old Master Leonard is my granduncle, so we’re considered relatives. If you need any help, I can put in a few good words for you. Maybe then, you’ll achieve what you want with half the effort.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “There’s no need for that.”Keith smiled. “I’m just being kind, for Eric’s sake.”“So, you’re saying that you’ll help without getting anything in return?”Keith was quiet for a moment. He pursed his lips, and only after a long time did he hesitate to speak.“If you want to return m
Nicole saw that there were a lot of guests for the dinner tonight.Some were familiar faces, but others were strangers.The political and business dignitaries came over to network without any concerns.It was evident that Old Master Leonard’s status in Sand City was just as good as they said.It was just that Nicole did not expect so many people to turn up to an appointment that she asked Logan to make with Old Master Leonard.However, since this was the Leonards’ territory, perhaps Old Master Leonard had his own plans.Just as Nicole was thinking about this, someone came over and respectfully relayed a message.“Ms. Stanton, Mr. Leonard is asking for you.”Nicole raised her eyebrows, put down the glass of wine in her hand, said thank you, and walked over with the waiter’s guidance.The lights shone brightly. Nicole attracted a lot of attention as she walked to Old Master Leonard.“Old Master Leonard…”Nicole immediately put on a friendly smile as if she was joyful from the
Old Master Leonard turned his head to the side. “Taught a lesson? Is there some kind of misunderstanding? Why would Nicole teach you a lesson?”Autumn gritted her teeth and was just about to speak.Suddenly, Nicole curled the corners of her lips. Her expression was dull and cold. “Ms. Ferguson, you misunderstood. How was that a lesson? Everyone knows that Clayton and I are dating. You keep calling me ‘sister-in-law’ in front of Clayton. You didn’t even call me that before Eric and I got a divorce. Ms. Ferguson, if you’re suddenly so friendly, it’ll make my boyfriend misunderstand the situation.”Nicole knew full well that Autumn was interested in Clayton, but she still unapologetically stated her relationship with Clayton.She also knew very well that Autumn’s animosity toward her was because of Clayton.However, Nicole would not deny the fact that she and Clayton were dating just to please anyone.The air instantly became stagnant for a moment.Keith felt awkward and could not
