Old Master Leonard saw that Autumn was relentless and ran out of patience. He bluntly ordered her.“Forget it, you won’t understand. Get that reporter to turn himself in tomorrow and give him more money to shut his mouth and don’t implicate you. This matter will be settled then.”Autumn’s lips trembled slightly. She did not know how to persist and felt helpless.She clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and could only bow her head and compromise. “Yes, Grandpa. I’ll fix it tomorrow.”Seeing that Autumn was still obedient, Old Master Leonard softened his expression and smiled.“When this matter is over, I’ll tell Eric to let you work at Ferguson Corporation. What can you learn from always being in a small company anyway?”Autumn smiled miserably. “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Grandpa.”......The next day.Nicole got up early in the morning to watch the news.Those homeowners did not protest, which meant that the statement was the right response and was effective.Thus, she had
Nicole hooked her lips.“Worried about me? In what way? Do you really think I’ll hide a man here?”Clayton laughed. “I’m worried that you’ll be fighting alone. I somehow feel that this problem with the Sand City project is a trap.”He developed a keen intuition after so many years of experience.Just like how he knew that Isaac Sloan wanted to make a move on him before Isaac did anything.Nicole’s smile faded. She lowered her eyes without speaking.Clayton looked at her eyebrows. Although she had a good appetite, the darkness in her eyes could not be concealed.These days, Nicole must have had a bad time.Clayton spoke in a deep and gentle voice.“You’ve made progress?”Nicole paused for a moment. She looked at him with a deep gaze and a playful smile.“Yeah, and it’s even related to you…”Clayton froze for a moment and wrinkled his brows.He waited for her explanation.However, before she could say anything, there was a knock on the door.“President, it’s me.”It was L
Although Clayton was in the bedroom when Nicole and Logan were speaking, they did not deliberately suppress their voices, so he could still hear them clearly.Nicole laughed and looked at Clayton with her head tilted and her eyebrows arched.“Your admirer set this trap for me to get you. Isn’t it unexpected?”Clayton’s face instantly stiffened. His expression sank.“Who?”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Your admirer!”“Give me a name!”His tone sank slightly.Clayton thought, ‘What kind of admirer could I have?’After coming to Mediania, the only woman Clayton had come into contact with was only Nicole.“Autumn Ferguson!”When Nicole said this name, Clayton’s face instantly turned gloomy and cold.It was rare to see Clayton look so serious. When Clayton entered the door earlier, he was warm and glowing.“What, you don’t have an impression of her?”Clayton did not want to lie. “I do, but I’m not familiar with her. Is this woman sick in the head?”He was such a good-tempered
Nicole was briefly dazed. Her heart was surging with emotions.The answer Clayton gave her was too heavy, like he had simply handed over his life to her.She could easily control his life and death.Nicole’s phone rang and interrupted the undercurrents of ambiguity flowing between them.She fluttered her eyelashes and hurriedly looked down to get her phone.It was Logan rushing her from downstairs.Nicole hung up the phone and looked at Clayton.“Do you want to stay here and rest?”Clayton said, “No, I wanna stay with you.”He was so clingy.Nicole nodded. When she went over to get her bag, Clayton took it for her and held her hand with his other hand.She silently curled the corners of her lips.Nicole suddenly thought that being held by Clayton like this felt so good.In the elevator.Nicole thought about it and hesitantly spoke.“Mr. Sloan?”“Hmm?”Nicole looked at their reflection in the mirror. When she was standing with him, his expression was mild as if nothing
Clayton said, “We need to continue looking for that reporter’s whereabouts by using her lead.”Nicole smiled. “Of course! I finally found this lead, so I won’t give up so easily. I stopped the project and agreed to the inspection, which incurred a lot of losses. Even so, I’ll still make sure she suffers just as much!”Anyway, Nicole had the ability to do so.It just depends on whether the other party had the capital to fight with Nicole to the end.Clayton pondered with a dark and cold face. “The losses incurred from stopping construction are huge. Are you really prepared? Don’t you need to discuss with headquarters?”Nicole looked out the window and said in a light tone.“It’s just a few days and it won’t take long. Grant is at headquarters, so those shareholders don’t dare to make any small moves.”Clayton smiled. He suddenly forgot that Nicole’s position was above Grant’s in Stanton Corporation.Nicole also did not have to worry about getting the shareholders’ approval befor
Autumn’s lips trembled as she felt like her pride was being crushed.Nicole’s assistant treated Autumn like an intruder.Autumn took a deep breath and fiercely suppressed the resentment in her heart.She softened her tone.“I was too impulsive just now, but I really have something to tell her. Let me go in!”Logan shook his head, unmoved.“If you don’t leave, the security guards will escort you out.”Saying that, Logan glanced at the security guards.The security guards, who were watching from the side, were waiting for instructions.Autumn gritted her teeth.“Doesn’t she want to know the whereabouts of that reporter?”Logan’s gaze flickered.He narrowed his eyes.Autumn knew that she had mentioned the point of his interest.This meant that Nicole was also paying attention to this issue.Autumn paused and spoke smugly.“I know the whereabouts of that reporter. Tell Nicole that I want to see her, and I’ll only tell her if I see her in person.”Old Master Leonard was goi
Autumn swept Logan with a gloomy glance.“How much is your monthly salary as an assistant? You offend people so easily. Aren’t you afraid that if Nicole doesn’t want you, you’ll have nowhere to go?”Logan smiled. “Sorry, I’m on an annual salary package and signed a lifetime contract.”Logan was the only person in Stanton Corporation who had special treatment.Autumn was furious and looked away, refusing to say another word.When she arrived at the place, Logan took her to an office and let the female secretary search Autumn’s body.Autumn did not prepare anything out of the ordinary and came empty-handed. She only had some cosmetics and a phone in her bag.Only then did Logan take her back on the elevator and go to the floor where Nicole was on.Logan knocked on the door. When Nicole said “come in”, Logan opened the door and let Autumn in.He swept a glance at the meeting room and saw only Nicole sitting there and Luca playing games with his head down in the corner, whose pres
Logan stood in the corner of the doorway and listened. He was already used to it.Autumn gritted her teeth.“I have just one condition. I can tell you where the reporter is, but you must promise me that this matter ends here.”Nicole unexpectedly raised her eyebrows. Seeing Autumn’s furious face, Nicole frowned and said, “Did you really order this?”Autumn’s body stiffened for a moment. She immediately retorted.“It’s not me. I’m not in the mood to do this!”Nicole said, “But you know who it is, don’t you?”Autumn replied, “I know who it is, but I won’t tell you. You just need to solve the matter at hand. It’s best not to ask more questions.”A trace of coldness crossed Nicole’s eyes.Seeing her hesitation, Autumn felt a little anxious.“The delay in the construction period will cost billions of dollars. Even if Stanton Corporation is rich, there’s no need to lose all this money, right? Before the quality inspection department moves in, let that reporter take the blame and th
