Chapter 1387 Miserable Defeat
Inside the meeting room.
Gerard’s face was ashen, and he was at a loss for words.
"How could this happen?"
It was clear that they could win.
If the white car in front had not wanted to win to the point of risking his life, they would have definitely
won.
Nicole was not surprised by this result.
She had expected this ending.
No matter how excellent the driverless data was, it could notpare to a human''s desire to win the
championship.
During that situation, the human brain would not be able to react as much as the Al system. 1
The human would only use his heart to fight and win without regard for anything else.
Nicole took a sip of coffee and knocked on the table, saying in a calm tone.
”$1 million. Remember to transfer it to my ount."
Then, Nicole picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
The test program was over.
Their performance on the road was excellent enough. The driverless car did not need to be devalued
because it did not win the racing championship.
This was enough.
Gerard stood up. "Ms. Stanton, let''s eat together. It''s almost time to get off work."
He looked at Eric and winked.
Eric was unfazed.
Nicole took two steps forward and waved.
"Pass. I''m going home to eat."
Gerard saw Eric remain unmoving and was anxious o n his behalf.
It was such a good opportunity. Why was Eric not seizing it?
Did he not want to get her back anymore?
Nicole’s hand just touched the door handle when Eric’s clear and cold voice rang out before she could
open the door.
Eric said, "Are you going to Old Master Carter''s birthday party tomorrow?"
Gerard did not expect him to ask that.
His tone was quite amicable, not to the point of beingpletely detached.
Nicole replied without turning around.
"Of course. I think of him as my grandfather..."
Ian''s grandfather watched Nicole grow up since she was a child.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
It was his 80th birthday, so how could Nicole be absent?
Ian sent the invitation over a few days ago and invited their whole family to attend.
It seemed like the scale of the banquet was veryrge.
Even without the rtionship between Eric and thete Hendrick, in terms of status, they would not
dare t o ignore Eric either.
However, now that Eric knew that she was going, he had some thoughts in his heart.
Eric did not stop Nicole when she left.
Gerard was not in the mood to care about Eric anymore. He was immersed in his $1 million debt owed
to Nicole after gambling.
"How was she so sure that we couldn''t win?"
Gerard could not help but ask.
Was she a psychic?
That was impossible.
Eric gave him an indifferent look. His voice sounded like it was coated with ayer of ice.
"Don’t be too blind and don''t veer off from our main concept. There has never been a need for
machines on the racetrack.”
What they needed to make were intelligent vehicles that could rece drivers, allowing them to free
their hands and be safer and more efficient.
There was no need for machines on the racetrack. If a person wanted that kind of excitement, why not
just g o to the amusement park and y bumper cars?
Eric stood up, fastened the buttons of his suit, and walked out with a cold and stern air around him.
Gerard was speechless.
Nicole went downstairs and waited for less than a minute before yton arrived.
Eric, who came downstairs, saw yton’s car parked i n front of the building.
Eric stood there and did not move.
His eyes were dark and sullen, like the quiet sea before a storm, devoid of waves or ripples.
However, at any moment, a gentle breeze would be able to stir up a huge wave.
yton got out of the car and opened the passenger door for Nicole with a smile. Nicole got into the
car.
yton was not in a hurry to close the door.
He propped one hand on the door, blocking the view o f the people behind.
They talked,ughed, and hugged intimately. He even fastened her seatbelt for her.
