Chapter 736 She Who Holds a Grudge
Ian’s mother looked thinner. She probably did not eat or sleep well because of this matter.Speaking of this, Ian’s mother could not hold it back any longer and vented out all her anger. Adeline’s face turned red and was extremely ugly.Ian’s mother’s words were so harsh. She was just shy of writing her dislike for Adeline on her face.Terrence also could not stand it, then glared at Ian and his mother fiercely. He forced a stiff smile and pulled Adeline out of Ian’s office.He could force Ian to compromise, but he could not play any tricks in front of Nicole.Ian’s mother spat fiercely. Her eyes reddened afterward.She looked at Nicole and walked over.“Thanks, Nicole. Thank you so much for today. You and Ian…”Back when Ian was pursuing Nicole, Ian’s mother had gone to warn Nicole to stay away from her son.Now that she thought about it, she regretted it.In terms of status, looks, and character, Nicole could defeat all high-society ladies hands down.Why was she so pick
Chapter 737 Beating Around the Bush
The butler took the tools from Floyd and Eric when they walked in.Eric stood up straight. He wore black pants and a casual white shirt that revealed his neckline. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and his collarbone was rigid and beautiful. He looked so casual, noble, and refined.He watched Nicole walk down the stairs. His eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.“Nicole, what a coincidence!”‘We’re so destined to meet!’ Eric thought.Nicole stiffened and smiled reluctantly.“This is my house, so obviously I’ll be here…”Floyd washed his hands and came out. “Mr. Ferguson, you should stay for dinner. We’ve caught so many fish, so I can’t let you make this trip for nothing.”Eric nodded slightly. His demeanor was decent.“Then, sorry for the trouble.”Eric prayed for this opportunity.Nicole speechlessly turned around and went to the other side. She poured herself a cup of water.Eric quietly approached. Nicole could smell a faint jasmine fragrance o
Chapter 738 Find a Reason to See You
It turned out that this was why Eric did not make a move. He was investigating everything clearly.Nicole’s reaction was very calm. “I’m just helping a friend.”She closed the laptop and unplugged the flash drive. “I’ll get Ian to thank you properly.”This had nothing to do with her anyway.Eric’s handsome and serious face held a light smile. His voice was frigid.“No need. Ian’s elder brother was my brother in arms. I won’t stand by and watch their family fall. I hope that the incompetent Ian will grow a brain. What is his use if he can’t even keep this little bit of assets?”Nicole had nothing to say.She almost forgot that Eric had such a relationship with the Carter family.“Then you came here…”‘Is it just to give me the flash drive? This is too much of a roundabout way, right?’ Nicole thought.Eric’s gaze shifted to her reflection. “I’m just finding a reason to see you.”How direct!Eric was really outstanding.His eyes were so deep and filled with strong affection,
Chapter 739 One Million in Cash
Carter Corporation was no longer in crisis. Ian intended to revive the company, but given his ability, it was better to let professional administrators handle the company first and liquidate it completely.Once the matter was over, news of Nicole and Ian faded out of everyone’s view as if it had never happened.......Not long after, Nicole received a call from Jacob Cook.Something happened in Sand City.Nicole rushed over and went straight to Zico Company’s office.There was a group of people sitting at the entrance in silent protest. Nicole immediately thought of suing them. Her face also turned glum.This scene was a lot more serious than what Jacob described.Jacob hired bodyguards to surround the office to prevent the group from making a move.Not far away, police cars and ambulances were on standby as a precaution in case of a conflict.Nicole took a deep breath and sat in the car. She did not get down.Logan called Jacob to come out.Ten minutes later.Jacob ran ou
Chapter 740 Use All Tactics
The surrounding people instantly quieted down.Nicole looked at them. “I’m not Lincoln Zelman or Hector Leach. I’ve never promised you anything. You took the state’s unemployment benefits and came here to muddle through life. I’ve paid you whatever wages that Zico Company owed you that’s on the books. I have more conscience than them!”Her voice was extremely cold. Her aura was so powerful that the people present were shocked.For a while, it was surprisingly quiet.Some people were restless and agitated. Someone in the crowd shouted, “That’s our salary! Since you bought the company, you should pay us. We demand the same compensation as those ten people earlier. We all work in the same place, so why didn’t we get the same treatment?”“That’s right! Why not?”“Yeah! You only paid us that little bit of money!”......Nicole’s gaze was icy as she glanced at the person who spoke. Her tone was overbearing.“There’s no labor contract, so we’re not obliged to give you any compensatio
Chapter 741 For Your Sake
Nicole would not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but they needed to leave evidence in case those greedy people made another demand.Logan looked at Nicole with admiration and nodded.Such a complicated and difficult situation was actually solved by Nicole through coaxing and threats.Nicole was really worthy of being a CEO.She went to the office to take a break and breathed a sigh of relief.Half an hour later.Jacob climbed upstairs, panting.“Ms. Stanton, everyone dispersed…”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Is that so? How’s the response?”Jacob wanted to give Nicole a pat on the back for being so brilliant.“Half of the people took the money and left. There are still five or six who want to work, so I took down their information. The rest scattered…”Nicole smiled and rubbed the rim of the cup.Those that did not take the money were probably afraid that they would be pursued after taking the money.It was good that they were cautious and family-oriented.“That le
Chapter 742 The Hired Killer
The sky was dark, and there was heavy traffic downstairs.This winter seemed to be extra cold because the wind was bone-piercing.Nicole felt hungry.She saw someone in the convenience store across the street downstairs eating a hot dog. She was very tempted.Nicole had not eaten a hot dog in years.She suddenly got an appetite. After some thought, she chose to give up the hotel’s five-star chef’s handiwork.Nicole put on her jacket, grabbed her purse and phone, and went downstairs dressed casually and comfortably.When she got to the convenience store, she completely forgot about her regular diet. The smell of the hotdog was really enticing. She sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and wolfed down the hotdog.After eating, she sat for a while longer and watched as the cars outside gradually diminished.The glow of the streetlights permeated with a chill.Nicole got up and left.Before she could cross the street, the traffic light on the pedestrian crossing changed to
Chapter 743 He Donated His Blood
Jacob Cook spoke in a panic. “What should I do? If Chairman Stanton finds out that something happened to Ms. Stanton while she’s here with me, I really can’t afford the consequences…”Logan said, “Mr. Cook, just handle your tasks well. I’ve notified Chairman Stanton and Ms. Stanton’s brothers about her accident, so they’ll come soon. We just need to cooperate with the police and provide evidence.”Logan’s voice sounded calm as he deeply suppressed the fear that was hard to hide.He did not dare to imagine what the consequences would be if Nicole died.That would be his dereliction of duty!Logan could only force himself to calm down because handling matters calmly in the face of danger was his profession.Nicole looked at the warm sunshine outside the window and the branches that were swaying with the wind.At that moment, she could only think about the blinding light in the darkness as well as the extremely fast truck that rushed to her.Nicole shuddered and sighed with relief
