Chapter 243 She Hit You?
The surrounding atmosphere was instantly frozen. The cold was bone-chilling, and it was so quiet that no one dared to breathe loudly.Eric’s cold eyes turned to Nicole with a hint of surprise.Nicole met his gaze carelessly.When their gaze collided, he saw a deep distrust in her eyes.His heartbeat faltered as if he had been stabbed.“You think that I instructed Chloe Snyder to do this?”Eric narrowed his eyes sharply.Nicole did not make a sound and simply gave him a cold smile.Her silence said everything.To the side, Keith could not help but shiver as bursts of chilling air surrounded him. ‘What’s going on?’“Why else would you be standing here right now?”After Nicole spoke, the air seemed to grow even colder.Keith hurriedly went up to explain. “You’ve misunderstood us. This has nothing to do with Eric! When we were leaving, Eric wanted to look for you because he had something to say. We couldn’t find you anywhere, then the doorman told us that you came this way, so
Chapter 244 Unlucky
Chloe Snyder shivered all over when she heard Ian’s words.The usually egotistical, romantic, and gentle Second Young Master Carter now looked like he wanted to skin her alive.At that moment, the many years of perseverance and adoration Chloe had for him seemed to be reduced to dust.There was a trace of pain in her expression.However, no one cared about her.Nicole saw through Chloe’s thoughts and gave her a sidelong glance.She snorted lightly and answered Ian, “She doesn’t have that capability.”Ian and Grant both sighed in relief at her words.Grant looked at Eric with a complicated gaze.If Nicole was not in danger, she would not have triggered the alarm.Were those two burly men hired by Eric Ferguson or Chloe Snyder?“What is Mr. Ferguson doing here?”Eric looked at Nicole expressionlessly and did not respond. His face was incredibly grim.Keith quickly stepped forward and explained the situation again.Mitchell echoed by his side.Grant looked away. It was unli
Chapter 245 Accused of Plagiarism
As the cold wind blew, Nicole had no interest in staying here and simply left.It was already very late when she got home.Early the next morning when she opened her eyes, the first thing that caught her eye outside the window were layers upon layers of leafy green.Precious and rare species of trees were all around, and the sunlight peeking from the cracks lazily lit up her face.What a beautiful day...The unhappiness from last night was instantly forgotten.Nicole got up and freshened up, then turned on her tablet to see the latest stock market movements.A message sent to her from Grant at 4:00 am last night popped up on the screen. [Chloe Snyder has been dealt with. You can sleep with ease.]He resolved it so quickly?Grant had always been protective of her, so she guessed that his way of resolving this would not be courteous.However, Nicole had wondered for a moment about what role Eric played in this incident.He had looked at her last night with such complex emotion
Chapter 246 Tell Your Old Lover to Come Forward
Nicole did not speak.She simply looked up at Gerard Lichman.He did not seem to be joking.The air was silent for a moment, and Nicole’s mood sank.The biggest breakthrough of the AI chip was that it had the ability to detect potential or obvious illnesses in the human body.This was great progress they had announced to the whole world.In order not to cause any unnecessary trouble to Maverick, they attributed the design to the joint experimental research lab of the Stanton Corporation, J&L Corporation, and Ferguson Corporation.If Stanton Corporation highlighted their exclusive rights to the chip, it would make people think that the three-way cooperation was falling apart, and it would cause their stock prices to plummet. That would only lead to unnecessary trouble.There was nothing to gain but harm.They had high hopes for this project.It would be a shame if the project was aborted because of such trivialities before it came to fruition.Nicole calmed down. “Do you know
Chapter 247 Earn Money Together
Around five people followed behind Nicole, each in a suit and tie. Their temperaments were imposing, cold, and oppressive.Logan pressed the elevator button for Nicole, who did not bat an eye.The receptionist hurriedly informed General Manager Lydia’s secretary upstairs.The secretary was also Lydia’s cousin, June Smith, who thought that she was all that after getting a backer.When June heard that Nicole was coming, she snorted in disdain and continued to paint her nails.“She couldn’t wait to come and get a piece of the pie after hearing that we were going to make money? Dream on…”Those words just so happened to be heard by Nicole.The bodyguard behind Nicole opened the door for her. When June saw Nicole, she continued to sit without batting an eye.Her tone was rude as she said, “Ms. Stanton, our General Manager is away. You can come again next time…”Standing by the side, Logan’s face turned green.No employees dared to talk to Nicole like that.Nicole did not even loo
Chapter 248 Did No One Teach You?
Nicole sat in the main seat at the head of the table looking at the documents in front of her without raising her head.Her fair and slender fingers stopped at a page, her expression indifferent and contemptuous.“You’re just in time. Tell me, how did you plagiarize that AI family doctor?”Jade stiffened slightly, but Lydia reacted quickly and explained, “Plagiarize? Our company spent a lot of money to ask experts from the research institute to study this. At present, we’ve accepted reservations from more than a dozen companies, and our sales have reached more than a billion dollars. Nicole, we can’t miss such a good opportunity to make money…”Nicole snorted.If they signed the pre-sale agreement in advance, the compensation would be more than thrice the amount.Did they think that Nicole would not dare to stop them?“I can’t believe that you dare to earn dirty money like this. Have you gone mad from poverty?”The surroundings seemed to fall silent in an instant.Everyone’s g
Chapter 249 She Has No Integrity
Noah Stanton could not stop the words that came out of Jade’s mouth in time.The temperature in the air instantly dropped to a freezing point.A chill permeated every inch of the air.Everyone knew that Nicole’s mother had passed away many years ago. It was a tragic topic that the Stantons could not bear to mention.If Floyd Stanton heard such words, he might even get someone to kill Jade immediately, much less Nicole!Where did Jade get the guts to bring up Nicole’s late mother in front of her and even scold her at the same time?Jade saw Nicole’s suddenly grim expression and realized that she had misspoken.She subconsciously turned to Noah. The angry expression he had earlier instantly disappeared.Just when everyone thought that the tense atmosphere would never end.Nicole’s cold eyes were affixed to Jade for a long time.Her gaze was deep and dangerous.She curled up her lips indifferently and spoke in a cold voice.“Jade Smith, I’ve been too soft on you, haven’t I?”
Chapter 250 Who’s Copying Who?
Nicole had never been a generous person.She could pretend as if nothing happened after being scolded, biding her time to revenge.Nicole made a mental note of how they had offended her.She would retaliate sooner or later.Ignoring Jade and Lydia’s insults behind her back, Nicole held her head high and strutted away in her heels.She felt sick just staying under the same roof as them!The bodyguard behind her was quick to open the door for her.Every movement of hers was inherently superior and noble, making people think that she was born to rule from above and look down on everyone.Back at Stanton Corporation.The people she sent had already started the process of taking over Jericho City’s branch.Thus, Nicole could stop worrying and ignore the online public opinion.Soon, everyone would know the truth.However, Noah Stanton unexpectedly did not give up and uploaded a video in the name of the company the next day.Professor Meyer stood in front of the camera, righteous
