Jacob Cook did not understand. “But why would Mr. Ferguson do such a thing? According to his character, he won’t find trouble with us because of this. This project isn’t considered Stanton Corporation’s most important project, so even if the work is really stopped, it won’t affect us much, so why would he do such a thing?”It was just a waste of effort.If Eric Ferguson wanted to deal with someone, it would be so sudden that no one would know what happened until it was too late.He would not let them anticipate his attack.It would not be like this trivial thing today that they noticed.Nicole also knew that what Jacob said made sense. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke.“Perhaps, it’s not Eric Ferguson’s intention?”Although Eric calls the shots in Ferguson Corporation, he had so many employees under him. The middle and senior management had over a hundred people, so someone was bound to do things on their own accord.Logan and Jacob looked at Nicole in unison.Nico

The waiter on the side handed over a glass of juice. Nicole said thanks and took it over, then gently took a sip.Keith stood on the side and watched. “Why aren’t you curious that I’m here?”Nicole looked at him calmly.“Why should I be curious?”It had nothing to do with her.Keith choked and suddenly did not know what to say.“What are you doing here? Are you here to ask for help from the Old Master?”Nicole replied, “Mm.”Keith smiled and rubbed his chin. “What a coincidence! Old Master Leonard is my granduncle, so we’re considered relatives. If you need any help, I can put in a few good words for you. Maybe then, you’ll achieve what you want with half the effort.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “There’s no need for that.”Keith smiled. “I’m just being kind, for Eric’s sake.”“So, you’re saying that you’ll help without getting anything in return?”Keith was quiet for a moment. He pursed his lips, and only after a long time did he hesitate to speak.“If you want to return m

Old Master Leonard turned his head to the side. “Taught a lesson? Is there some kind of misunderstanding? Why would Nicole teach you a lesson?”Autumn gritted her teeth and was just about to speak.Suddenly, Nicole curled the corners of her lips. Her expression was dull and cold. “Ms. Ferguson, you misunderstood. How was that a lesson? Everyone knows that Clayton and I are dating. You keep calling me ‘sister-in-law’ in front of Clayton. You didn’t even call me that before Eric and I got a divorce. Ms. Ferguson, if you’re suddenly so friendly, it’ll make my boyfriend misunderstand the situation.”Nicole knew full well that Autumn was interested in Clayton, but she still unapologetically stated her relationship with Clayton.She also knew very well that Autumn’s animosity toward her was because of Clayton.However, Nicole would not deny the fact that she and Clayton were dating just to please anyone.The air instantly became stagnant for a moment.Keith felt awkward and could not

The people in the back continued to discuss in a soft voice.“Ms. Stanton really drank too much…”“There are too many things happening recently, so maybe she’s upset.”“Old Master Leonard, are you really just going to ignore it? No matter what, this project is also under the Stanton Corporation. If Floyd Stanton comes forward, we can hardly refuse…”Autumn let out a light laugh.“How could Chairman Stanton step in so easily? If Nicole can’t solve this kind of trivial matter, it just shows her incompetence. How else can she establish her strong CEO persona in the industry going forward? We’ll just wait and see what happens…”Old Master Leonard said, “You shouldn’t go too far either. I still have a relationship with the Stanton family. If Floyd Stanton contacts me, I won’t continue to make things difficult for his daughter…”Someone from the approval department asked, “Then we’ll continue to drag it out?”Old Master Leonard sighed, then laughed casually.“Drag it out. Nicole’s s

Keith paused. ‘Eric can still sleep in such an urgent situation?!’“Ferg, something big has happened!”Originally, this matter was not worth telling Eric, but once it involved Ferguson Corporation and with Eric’s sensitivity to Nicole, Keith felt that this matter could be even more precarious than he imagined.“Speak.”Eric’s tone was cold, decisive, and harsh.Keith said, “Stanton Corporation’s project in Sand City was recently sabotaged by someone. Nicole found out that the person who sabotaged them is someone from Ferguson Corporation.”The phone suddenly went silent after Keith said that. There was not even the sound of breathing.Keith looked at his phone strangely and double-checked that he was still on the call.“Ferg, are you listening?”Eric suppressed his emotions.“What do you mean? My people?”Keith gritted his teeth.“The person she found isn’t some middle or upper management. I’m guessing that he’s just out to cause trouble, but he has something to do with Fer
