There was silence for three seconds.Nicole also calmed down. “I know. I will be prepared. Thank you.”This word of thanks came from the heart.After that, she hung up the phone.The string on the bow was taut, so the arrow had to be shot. From the time Nicole decided to take this project, she had to take it head-on no matter what the difficulty was.Eric cursed under his breath. He was even more anxious.He turned to look at Mitchell. “Let’s go to Sand City.”Mitchell immediately understood. “Didn’t we talk to Mr. Lewis beforehand that we don’t have to contact those project people personally?”This was the advantage of a superior person like Eric Ferguson. If it could be solved with money, he would not get himself involved and put himself in a dangerous situation.Eric’s eyes were sunken and dark. “Nicole went. Send more people there to stay on guard.”Mitchell’s expression immediately became solemn. “Understood.”When Nicole went to Sand City, she made a beeline for Zico C
Hearing Nicole’s order, the people behind her rushed up. Two of them pressed down Hector Leach, who wanted to resist.The rest of Nicole’s men were very decisive and orderly as they took away several boxes of ledgers under Hector’s table.Hector stared at them in disbelief. ‘WTF! Is this woman robbing me?!’The whole ordeal took less than five minutes. Logan came over and made a gesture. Nicole then waved her hand to signal the bodyguard to let go of his hand that was covering Hector’s mouth. Hector gasped for air.He was anxious and angry. “You…”Nicole smiled innocently. “Us checking your accounts has been agreed by the authorities. If you and Mr. Zelman have any comments, just take it up to the authorities. Oh, you can also call the police.”She was sure that these kinds of corrupt people would not go to call the police.As for the rest, a push or two would get them to yield. In less than a few days, they could finish checking all the accounts.In fact, there was absolutely
Nicole said, “No need. Backup will be too slow to be of any help. They’re here for the ledgers.”Hector’s series of reactions was by no means his own ideas, which further proved that there were big problems with the accounts.Nicole pursed her lips and racked her brain for a plan.If Hector took away the ledgers today, then they would never have the chance to get it back again.Hector knocked on the car window and impatiently flashed a disgusting smile.“Ms. Stanton, come down and let’s talk! Since you’re so sincere about wanting this project, I’ll let you and your people leave safely as long as you leave the books.”This scene was already shocking enough. Anyone who saw this would have been scared sh*tless.Nicole slowly lowered the car window, revealing her beautiful and bright features with a smile on his face. However, her eyes were covered in coldness.“Mr. Leach, unless I let go of it myself, no one can snatch away what’s in my hands.”Hector shuddered. He panicked and f
Nicole’s attention was on the situation in front of her. Those punks also had a good sense. They were fighting ruthlessly with her bodyguards, but no one went to make a move against Nicole.Out of the corner of her eye, Nicole suddenly noticed that Hector Leach stood up and secretly wanted to run.She wrinkled her brows and pursed her lips. Hector was the key to subduing these people, so she could not let him get away.Nicole was just about to go over and drag him back, when she suddenly heard Logan shouting in panic, “President! Be careful!”She froze and suddenly felt an eerie cool breeze at her back that approached her. She subconsciously became tense and realized that someone was sneaking an attack on her.It also seemed too late to dodge it. It was unavoidable.Just then, Hector suddenly lunged forward to her. His body seemed uncontrollable, full of shock and fear.His speed was faster than the dumbfounded Nicole. He then took the hit from the person who sneaked up from beh
Eric’s move was so nonchalant, but everyone present felt a bitter cold all of a sudden. Hector Leach was so frightened that his legs went limp. He would not even question whether the thing in Eric’s hand would be aimed at his head.Nicole calmly took it over without the slightest surprise and fear.‘What kind of people are they?!’ Hector’s face turned miserably pale. The fear in his bones made his blood clot as he shivered.Nicole took the gun and spun it around. Eric then took her hand and held that gun, pointing it in Hector’s direction.The situation was tense.Eric’s face was expressionless, and his tone was morose. “Was it him? Just shoot him.”Eric seemed to be a bit impatient. The redness of his eyes was from his unsuppressed anger and ruthlessness. He simply did not care about the consequences. Moreover, he was not afraid to cause trouble.This kind of small commotion was common for him.However, since they scared Nicole, that was a different story.When Hector heard
Eric smiled when he saw that Nicole was staring at the gun in her hand.“You like it?”Nicole paused for a moment and gave it back to him.“A fake can also scare people?”The smile in Eric’s eyes deepened. He put it away and said, “I have the real one with me. If you shoot, I’ll follow up for you, so you don’t have to be afraid.”This way, he would take all responsibility, so she did not have to be afraid of anything.Eric simply wanted Nicole to do whatever she wanted.Nicole was stunned. Her heart trembled slightly as she looked at him sideways.“Why did you come?”Eric’s smile faded slightly. “I told you that these are deep and dangerous waters, so how can I be assured that you’re here alone?”His voice was low and raspy as it echoed in the car.Nicole curled the corners of her lips. “Thank you, but aren’t you afraid that I’ll take the lead and come by to talk to Mr. Lewis about this project?”Eric’s eyes faintly flickered. He suddenly looked at Nicole.“You don’t trust
Logan knew what Nicole meant and nodded solemnly. “Understood. The situation earlier was too thrilling. Do you want to take a rest first? Or, do you want to go back to the office first? I can take care of the things here.”Nicole immediately refused. “No, I’m staying here. You should get Jacob Cook to handle things properly.”Logan knew of Nicole’s temper. Earlier when faced with such a dangerous situation, Nicole did not even frown, so she certainly would not run at this time.Thinking of this, Logan nodded and left. He then arranged for more people to covertly protect Nicole.Jacob was only given four hours and dared not dare to delay for a moment. He led some staff along with the third-party agency to the relevant departments to check the accounts.Once the accounts were almost sorted out, they were all alarmed to see those deficits.Thus, Jacob did not hesitate to call Nicole and report this situation.Nicole was drinking lemonade and doing yoga on the balcony. When she pick
From the moment Eric entered the kitchen, Nicole was prepared for the worst.She thought that the worst that could happen would be tasting horrible food.However, the result was somewhat unexpected. Eric did not even make anything. Instead, he blew up the kitchen!The smoke rolled out and triggered the fire alarm.Eric did not look the slightest bit wretched. Even in this messy situation, he still looked noble and above everyone.However, his complexion was glum.He felt frustrated and angry for losing his reputation.Eric pursed his lips. The tip of his tongue was pressed against the roof of his mouth. His brows were cold and stiff as he grunted. His voice was slightly muffled from having inhaled some smoke.“There’s a problem with the tools.”After that, he pulled Nicole outside because the kitchen was nasty.Although nothing caught on fire and the smoke was caused by the oven burning, it reached a certain temperature and automatically short-circuited.The smoke triggered
