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
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
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
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
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
All Nicole could think about was Clayton being so humble and gentle with her, carefully expressing his feelings like he was afraid that she would refuse him, yet also afraid that she was not aware.Her heart was aching like it was squeezed by a big hand. It was suffocating and uncomfortable.A certain place in her heart also seemed to soften quietly.Nicole pursed her lips. Fortunately, Clayton arrived in time to pull her back from death. No matter what, she owed him.“President, the doctor said that you’re out of danger, but your right leg fracture needs bed rest. I’ll contact the hospital back home. Let’s go back now…”In terms of medical resources, West City had the best medical resources. Moreover, the Stanton family were there and could better take care of her.Nicole paused for a moment. “We’ll go back together when Mr. Sloan wakes up.”No wonder she felt something wrong with her right leg. The pain was unbearable, but she had anesthesia.Fortunately, it was just a fractu
Logan and everyone knew very well that this was Lincoln Zelman’s handiwork, but there was no evidence.“The police have tried their best to investigate…”However, that driver did not utter a word so far.Grant heard the full report. His expression was frigid and oppressive.“It’s too inefficient. Go and investigate the identity of the driver. Find his family members. No matter who they are, they should have a taste of the pain Nicole experienced. If he doesn’t have a family, then arrange for our people to infiltrate in there and make this driver and Lincoln Zelman regret having come into this world.”Grant did not hesitate to use the most frightful means just to vent out Nicole’s indignation.Stanton Corporation was only for Nicole to play with, not for her to give up her life for.Whoever dared to threaten Nicole’s life would only end up regretting their existence.Logan used to work for Grant for a long time, from the time Grant started wandering in the gray areas of society
Floyd’s attitude toward Clayton was a lot more enthusiastic. After all, Clayton was the one who saved Nicole, so he was totally different from Nicole’s usual suitors.“Clayton, you should get some rest. Are you feeling better now?”Clayton nodded. His eyes shifted to Nicole. Seeing her right leg in a cast, his pupils shrank fiercely.Nicole smiled. “It’s just a fracture and will be fine soon. Mr. Sloan, thank you.”This gratitude was from the bottom of her heart.In that situation, her reaction was not as fast as the speed of the car. If not for Clayton, Nicole would have sustained more injuries than just a fracture on the right leg.Clayton’s eyes were still a little red. His face was pale as he curled the corners of his lips into a weak smile.“Well, I’m glad that you’re okay.”Kai laughed at the side. “I think we should go out and let Lil N talk to Mr. Sloan alone!”Clayton looked at Kai gratefully.Floyd slapped Kai on the back of his head. “Nonsense! At this time, we sho
