Chapter 381 Don''t Let Him Off
Back in Stanton Mansion, Nicole was exhausted. She could not find it in herself to be happy at all
despite getting thisrge project.
Perhaps it was because she had not been mentally prepared for such an old, tragic story to be brought
up.
Shey in her bed in the dead of night, mulling over the contents of that photo over and over again.
Suddenly, there was a notification on her phone.
She picked it up irritably, nced at it, and frowned.
It was from Eric.
[Nicole, I''m d that the person I saved was you.]
[Not anyone else, but you. Thank God you''re safe and sound.] 1
Nicole blinked and looked at the darkness out the window. Then, she went out to get a ss of milk
and finished it slowly before going back upstairs.
The past would note back anyway, so why should she dwell on something that she had already let
go of?
At that thought, Nicole went to bed and had a good night''s sleep.
The news of the cooperation with yton Sloan was abuzz after just one night.
Major corporations andpanies expressed their goodwill and wanted to work with Stanton
Corporation. They would profit even if they were involved in a minuscule part of the project.
When Nicole opened her eyes, her phone almost exploded from all the calls she was getting.
Fortunately, she had muted it beforehand.
Tigger swaggered in with its wagging tail. "Mama, everyone''s waiting for you..."
Nicole replied to Yvette''s message and freshened up before going downstairs.
"Big Brother?"
Grant stood in the living room with a stern and cold look. Nicole did not know who he was on the phone
with, but he immediately hung up when he saw here downstairs.
"What a big heart you have!"
Nicole was confused. Floyd sat at the dining table with the newspaper, smiling leisurely.
"How did you get through to yton Sloan? His people have already begun to contact your brother.
Didn’t his attitude change too quickly?"
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and briefly told them about what happened yesterday. Everyone had a
look o f realization.

Only Kai shook his head and said with a regretful expression, "yton’s son is already so big. Looks
like you''re out of luck..."
Floyd red at Kai. "Get lost!"
Grant chimed in. "Seconded."
Nicoleughed and followed Grant to the office after breakfast.
When Nicole and Grant walked into the conference room for the early morning meeting, the originally
noisy room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone''s inquiring eyes were on Nicole as she strutted in on her high heels. She had such a
confident and powerful aura as she sat in her seat without so much as a stray nce.
The shareholders at the table also had various expressions.
Christian Jenner''s face was ashen as he sat there anxiously. He looked up at Nicole and Grant from
time to time, as if he was hesitant to say something.
He called Floyd Stanton early in the morning, but he could not get through to him.
''Are they really going to make me leave Stanton Corporation?'' Christian thought apprehensively.
The meeting started with Grant presiding over it. The major departments all briefly reported thetest
situation, and the final topic was yton Sloan''s project.
Grant''s voice was clear and crisp.
"ording to the n given by yton Sloan, our technical department must keep up with them. The
series of follow-up work are all important and can''t be neglected, but we''ll wait for the contract to adjust
the details. Are there any questions?”
The people in the room shook their heads and gradually fell silent.
Just when everyone thought the meeting was adjourned, Grant turned his head.
"What about you, Nicole?"
Nicole, who was called out, gave a faint smile. She fully understood Grant''s meaning and lifted her
shapely brows to look at Christian.
Since the ball was now in her court, Nicole could not give up this chance.
"Yup. I wonder if Mr. Jenner still remembers that bet from before, where the loser will leave Stanton
Corporation..."
Nicole did not waste any time and cut to the chase.
