Chapter 1240 Can’t Be Found
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
Chapter 1241 Not What He Meant
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
Chapter 1242 Granduncle
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
Chapter 1243 Not a Good Deal
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
Chapter 1244 We Have a Conflict
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
Chapter 1245 My Boyfriend
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
Chapter 1246 Discuss for Nothing
Old Master Leonard took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look around, and put down the fork in his hand.“In fact, I can’t help much in this matter, but I’ve invited these people for you, so you might as well ask for their opinion.”Old Master Leonard looked at the big names in the current political arena who were present and nodded politely.The head of the approval department smiled.“Old Master Leonard knows very well that this matter looks simple, but it’s actually very tricky. Ms. Stanton, I’m sure you know that the current online public opinion is like a scourge. Once it’s posted online and involves people’s personal interests like their health, it’s simply impossible to resolve it silently.”Another bigwig on the side nodded with a difficult look on his face.“That’s right. It’s also very difficult for us. Unless that reporter comes out to clarify that this is merely rumors that he created, it’ll simply be too difficult to close the case…”“But now, that reporter’s missi
Chapter 1247 Two Good Ways
The people in the back continued to discuss in a soft voice.“Ms. Stanton really drank too much…”“There are too many things happening recently, so maybe she’s upset.”“Old Master Leonard, are you really just going to ignore it? No matter what, this project is also under the Stanton Corporation. If Floyd Stanton comes forward, we can hardly refuse…”Autumn let out a light laugh.“How could Chairman Stanton step in so easily? If Nicole can’t solve this kind of trivial matter, it just shows her incompetence. How else can she establish her strong CEO persona in the industry going forward? We’ll just wait and see what happens…”Old Master Leonard said, “You shouldn’t go too far either. I still have a relationship with the Stanton family. If Floyd Stanton contacts me, I won’t continue to make things difficult for his daughter…”Someone from the approval department asked, “Then we’ll continue to drag it out?”Old Master Leonard sighed, then laughed casually.“Drag it out. Nicole’s s
