Chapter 498 A Date
It was hard not to connect the two things that happened on the same day.
Everyone found out after a deeper investigation that Yannick Zabinski was the person who posted the
photo to clear Eric’s name.
However, everyone''s spection was futile.
Ferguson Corporation did not miss out on the formalities of acquiring a small business.
Many in the circle felt that Eric''s methods were too ruthless.
There were manyints about his style of handling this.
Yannick only posted a photo, but Eric pushed the Zabinskis to the brink of extinction in a fit of anger.
However, no one could stop Eric’s fury.
This was a lesson for everyone.
The matter gradually passed, and Xander''s name came into the public eye. Although everyone did not
have a very good initial impression of Xander, a lot of people still supported him because he had Eric
Ferguson’s domineering face.
Dominic Young also put Xander''s poprity to good use and arranged many activities for him and got
him
to do live streaming during his free time.
J&L Corporation.
The stipted meetings of the project were important and required the presence of all four parties.
When Nicole arrived, Gerard Lichman, Eric Ferguson, and yton Sloan were already sitting in the
conference room.
Their eyes were calm when they saw hering as if they did not know that she was a frequent visitor
on the hot topicstely.
No one knew if it was intentional that Eric and yton sat opposite each other with an empty seat
beside each of them.
Nicole swept a nce and sat next to yton without much thought and expression.
Seeing this, Gerard shot Eric a meaningful look.
yton gently passed the meeting materials to her. "M s. Stanton, we should congratte Mr.
Ferguson for his leg recovery."
With that, Eric, who had just mustered up the courage t o speak to Nicole, was rendered speechless.
His eyes sank as he red at yton with cold indifference.
''Is he doing this on purpose?’ Eric thought.
Gerard chimed in, "Yes, indeed..."
Nicole curled up her lips, but her eyes were filled with indifference and ridicule.
"Congrattions, Mr. Ferguson."
''This stupid liar!''
Eric could barely hold up his expression and nodded slightly. "Thank you."
yton said, "In fact, I recently got the news that many Al enthusiasts abroad want to invest in this
project. It''s mostly to everyone''s benefit, but their conditions are all different."
Gerard replied, "If arge amount of capital is injected, it’ll surely push our project to an admirable
scale, but i f the progress doesn''t go smoothly, it''ll have a devastating ending and it’ll be more difficult
to start again. Out of consideration for the protection of our core technology, I''m not in favor of it."
Eric hooked his lips. "They’re just eyeing our project and want to squeeze us out of the game. Even if
we want capital injection, we need to consider all aspects. Not to mention, we haven''t yet reached this
stage.”
yton nodded in agreement.
Nicole raised her eyebrows and did not have an opinion about this.
Throughout the meeting, Nicole and yton had more interaction and had a very tacit understanding of
each other. They would understand what the other party wanted to say with one look.
Eric was left out and felt bitter about it.

As soon as the meeting ended, yton leaned over and spoke to Nicole in a gentle tone.
"Ms. Stanton, let’s have lunch together. Is there anything you''d like to eat?"
Before Nicole could say anything, Gerard answered, "I wanna join.”
Eric chimed in. "Me too."
Nicole said, "Oh, then you guys can go ahead. I still have something to do.”
There was a momentary stagnation in the air.
Nicole slowly packed up her things and left.
Gerard sensed that the atmosphere was not right and looked at yton.
"Mr. Sloan, you could''ve invited us along just now.
Only inviting Ms. Stanton is misleading. It sounds like you want to date her."
yton smiled lightly and nced at Eric.
"Indeed, I do."
