The two supervisors wanted to say something else, but in the end, no one dared to speak.They knew Grant’s temper. Grant would not give them a second chance when they did something wrong.Once they left, Nicole sat opposite Grant, puzzled.“Didn’t you say that something happened to the project?”Grant lifted his chin. His face was cold as frost.“Those two you saw were bribed by someone and intended to sabotage the project. They were discovered by their subordinates.”“Who bribed them?”“Golden Sea Corporation, a woman named Ava York.”Nicole’s eyes narrowed. “It’s her?”“You know her?”“I’ve dealt with her before. Are there any losses to the project?”“Not yet, but soon. Do you know who is the spokesperson that these two hired?”Grant’s face was grim. He was probably really pissed off by this crazy woman.Nicole shook her head. She was not aware.Usually, real estate projects did not need spokespersons, unless it was a high-end construction.Grant gritted his teeth. “Ha
When Nicole was still torn between asking what was in it, Grant had already made the decision for her.Learn from past mistakes.The past was a truly bloody lesson learned.When Nicole fell in love, her whole family was apprehensive about any small movements.‘How did I get such a warm and loving family?’ Nicole thought.Nicole smiled and walked over to take the document bag. “You’re right. I can’t believe everything I hear. I should get to know his bottom line before I get sucked in.”Grant looked at his extremely understanding sister with satisfaction. ‘How sensible!’Nicole raised her eyes and looked at him with a smirk.“Big Brother, you’re also a man, so I’ll have to remind Aida of what you just told me too!”Grant’s face changed slightly. He gritted his teeth.“Are you my sister?!”Nicole playfully stuck out her tongue, took her things, and left.Grant was flustered and thought, ‘She’d better not badmouth me in front of Aida!’Nicole’s mood was much better all of a s
Logan looked at Nicole in surprise.Nicole’s tone was extremely light. “Since this information was cleaned up beforehand, it means that only the Sloan family knows of what’s beneath all this. Clayton will naturally tell me when he wants to.”Nicole was not blindly confident of how important she was to Clayton to expect him to tell her everything about himself without reservation.It was just that it was not very good to probe into other people’s secrets.After all, it did not matter much to her.Logan sensed that Nicole was not in a great mood, so he took the document over and nodded.“Yes, President.”Nicole stood up and went over to get a cup of coffee.Logan looked at her schedule.“There’s a party tonight that invited President Grant, but he asked you to go in his stead.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Why wasn’t I invited?”Logan nodded, puzzled. He was also not aware of what was going on either.Since Nicole got a firm foothold in Stanton Corporation after her divorce,
Harvey Sage handed Nicole’s phone to her, expressionless.Nicole said, “Thank you.”“You’re welcome.”It was a call from Clayton, so Nicole picked it up.“Pretty Lady, are you working overtime? Do you want me to pick you up?”No one could resist Lil Michael’s soft and childish voice when he started to act cute.Nicole smiled gently with her eyes. “I have to attend an event, so I can’t go home yet. Have you eaten yet, Michael?”“Oh no! What should I do? I won’t be able to eat without seeing you, Pretty Lady…” Lil Michael muttered sadly.Nicole was heartbroken and was about to persuade him to eat properly when another mature and gentle voice came through.“Don’t listen to his nonsense. He didn’t have dinner yet, but he devoured all the snacks that you asked Logan to send over…”Clayton’s tone was a little helpless.Lil Michael retorted, “I’m still growing, so what’s wrong with eating some snacks?”Nicole’s tone was gentle as she said, “Lil Michael, listen to Daddy. You can’t
Ava’s face faintly stiffened when she saw Nicole.Ava was surprised and amazed at Nicole’s arrival. ‘The invitation wasn’t for her, but she actually came?’Nicole looked at the old man standing next to Ava York. This event was organized by this old man, who had been silent for a long time. Back in the day, the old man had some status and power, but he was gradually replaced by new forces.Even so, he was still more influential and richer than ordinary people. His contacts and resources accumulated were still there. People in the business world more or less still respected him. Thus, a lot of familiar old bosses came to this banquet.Nicole smiled. The old man naturally knew Nicole because he watched her grow up as a child.He stepped forward. “Ms. Stanton, welcome! I should be calling you President Nicole now, right?”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Uncle, do you really welcome me? I thought I had offended you somehow…”The old man frowned. “Why do you say that?”Nicole glanced at
Nicole did not think that the daughter of Golden Sea Corporation’s President would notice this detail. She even seemed very satisfied with it.The President of Golden Sea Corporation was relieved to see that Nicole had no intention of blaming his daughter.The banquet officially began.The old man trembled and walked onto the stage, full of joy.“It’s a great honor that all of you are here. I’d like to share some great news with you.”This banquet was held out of the blue. Even Nicole thought that it was just an ordinary social gathering.She did not think that it was a big happy event.Ava York stood on the side. Her posture was elegant and graceful. Today, she gave up her advantage and did not wear any sexy or revealing dress. Instead, she played nice and dressed conservatively and decently.The old man pointed at Ava and was obviously a little emotional. His eyes even had tears as he said, “Thirty years ago, I lost my youngest daughter. Now, I’ve found her, Ava York.”The c
Hayley nodded in agreement.Once she turned around, Hayley saw that Nicole had already walked over to a sofa, sat down, and was leisurely pouring herself a glass of juice.Nicole did not care about the change in the situation.It did not matter whose daughter Ava was, Nicole just did not care.There were many ways to deal with her anyway.Harvey sat not far from Nicole and watched her movements from time to time with a silent expression.Hayley decisively ran over and sat next to Nicole.“Last time when you sent her to the psychiatric hospital, she ran back to my dad crying and screaming. My dad was really moved by her and gave her a $30 million house, then she was somehow not angry anymore…”Nicole curled her lips. She was not aware of this since the President of Golden Sea Corporation would not offend Nicole because of a mistress.After all, everyone wanted to keep their image.“After she was recognized by this old man, it didn’t take long for the rumor of her marrying my f
Harvey was silent. He did not speak.Ava said, “During your contract period, you need to deliberately give reporters and gossip bloggers some scandal. Take a scandalous picture or even badmouth Stanton Corporation’s products in a group chat. That way, Stanton Corporation will be done for!”Nicole felt a terrible chill in her heart.She really wanted to push Ava off the building.Nicole thought, ‘She has a death wish!’Harvey, who had been silent, finally spoke with a clear voice.“Stanton Corporation won’t be done for. If anything, I’m the first one to be done for! Do you take me for a fool?”Harvey was already being berated by everyone just because he was accused of domestic violence.If there was any more explosive dirt on him, Harvey would never be able to clear his name.Ava laughed. “Of course, I won’t treat you badly. I was the one who got you this contract anyway. When this is done, I’ll give you a large sum of money. Even if you quit showbiz, you’ll still be able to li
