Chapter 1957 Partially Right
"Are the higher-ups thinking of taking back the military project and handing it over to Eric Ferguson?”
Floyd''s spection was not without reason.
Grant said, "They didn''t say it explicitly, but I don’t think they''ll do that. Eric''s advantages aren''t enough
to counter the immense benefits brought by the South African base. I think the higher-ups might want
us to have sole ownership of the project. Or at least, they want us to have control over it and not be
passive. After all, this military project involves various countries'' sensitive aspects and can’t be
ignored."
Hearing this, Nicole suddenly felt her limbs turning cold.
Eric''s words during the day flooded into her mind again.
She had a feeling that yton''s project might have really gone wrong.
Nicole subconsciously pushed the door open and walked in.
Grant and Floyd did not expect Nicole toe back at this time, so they were startled.
Floyd responded first.
"You came back so soon? Did you have a good time?"
Nicole paused and pursed her lips.
"Don’t lie to me. Did something happen to yton?"
Floyd was silent.
Grant nced at him and then at Nicole.
"yton didn''t tell you?”
Nicole shook her head.
"But I met Eric just now. He said that yton colluded with foreign arms dealers and that there was a
problem in the South Africanboratory. Is that true?"
She was a little flustered, but she remained calm on the surface.
It was not because of the military project, but because she was worried that yton would get into
trouble.
Military projects were not umon in foreign countries. Nicole did not ask yton about the scale of
it, but she figured that it should be quite significant since the domestic military project would rather give
up working with Eric to choose yton instead.
If something happened, it would involve all aspects and would definitely affect personal safety.
yton was still abroad. If something really happened, he would be out of reach.
Grant pursed his lips and wondered if he should tell Nicole about it.
The room waspletely silent.
Nicole could not help but ask, "Big Brother, please tell me. Is it true?”
Floyd sighed ;g*=UIT= looked at Grant.
"Go ahead. She''ll overthink it if you don’t tell her."
Grant pursed his lips and nodded.
"Eric''s only partially right. yton didn''t tell you probably because he was afraid that you''d be worried.
We had the same thought, too. I heard that his base in South Africa sold a batch of weapons with
problems, so the other party is finding trouble with yton. They’re a very powerful organization, so
this incident caused a rtively bad impact. But that doesn’t rule out the possibility that they''re
deliberately finding fault with yton.
There’s also a rumor that they''re trying to settle ounts with yton.”
Nicole''s face turned pale.
Floyd paused. "Don’t worry about this. yton is capable enough to protect himself, so he''ll be fine."
Grant nodded.
Nicole''s heart sank a little. When they were on the phone just now, yton casually shared all the fun
things he encountered.
He did not mention the trouble he
encountered.
Was it because he was worried that she would overthink things at home?
However, she felt even more worried if he did not share his troubles with her.
Floyd looked at Grant and returned to the topic.
"So, the military project we''re currently handling can''t proceed for the time being?"
Grant nodded.
"Yes, it must be suspended for now. If something goes wrong at the research base in South Africa, the
higher-ups intend to cut the losses in time. But as far as I know, they haven’t approached other
partners yet. They probably still have high expectations, but is it too much to let yton give up the
dominant power...” Although Grant did not finish his sentence, they all knew what he meant.
Regardless of beliefs, yton was a businessman.
How could yton hand over all his profits to others?
Nicole was very confused, but she subconsciouslypleted Grant''s thoughts.
"The worst oue at the moment is that they''ll take away our project and carry it out in Mediania with
full-force. Although the process is difficult,plicated, and high-cost, it’s still the lesser of two evils.’
Grant nced at her and nodded.
"Don''t think too much. It hasn''t reached that stage yet. When ytones back, they’ll send
someone to talk to him. As for whether they manage to negotiate or not depends on their ability."
The most critical issue for them might be that yton was not a native Medianian. So, they thought
that yton would not be so firm in his beliefs. They also had no grasp on his weaknesses, so they
could only use the Stanton family to control yton.
However, why would the Stanton family force yton to do that?
Nicole nodded and took a deep breath.
“Big Brother, if there''s any more news, please don''t hide it from me."
Grant nodded and remembered something.
“Did you meet Eric today?"Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Nicole nodded slightly and told him everything that happened during the day.
After Grant heard this, his expression became gloomy and a little scary.
Nicole was puzzled.
"What''s the matter? He''s back in Mediania, so it''s inevitable that we''ll meet at social events. What’s
more, I don’t think that he''s looking for me on purpose."
Grant nced at her with indistinct emotions in his eyes.
"Of course, he won''t deliberately look for you with outsiders around. I suspect that the person with him
is the arms dealer Angie''s brother, Tyler. I heard that he’s extremely insidious and cunning with many
tricks up his sleeves. He’s also a very vengeful person.”
Nicole was stunned for a moment. She took a deep breath.
She thought of what she identally saw today. They were all tantly carrying guns.
Grant''s description was most likely urate.
Suddenly, she felt a chill.
Nicole actually hit that pervert''s head with a golfball.
Would he find trouble with herter?
Seeing that Nicole''s expression was not right, Grant asked her.
"Why? Did he find trouble with you?"
Floyd became anxious when he heard this.
"THE Tyler?"
Nicole pursed her lips. "He was really rude, so I smashed a golf ball on his eye. He was sent to the
hospital after..."
There was silence in the study for a moment.
Floyd sighed. "I asked you to go out and have fun, but you wanted to socialize with our business
partner. As a result, the meeting didn’t happen and you even caused trouble. Why are you so unlucky?"
Nicole did not speak.
She did not know why she was so unlucky either.
Grant said in a grave tone, "Forget it.
What''s done is done. This is our territory, so he won''t dare to do anything to you openly. I''ll just arrange
a few more bodyguards for you, and you have to be careful yourself. You''d better not wander around
outside. At least, until he leaves the country."
Nicole nodded. She still cherished her life.
Floyd''s voice was solemn. "But why did Eric get involved with Tyler?”
Grant replied, "His sister and mother are in Tyler''s hands, so they’re still negotiating. It''ll be to Eric''s
disadvantage to fight Tyler head-on.”
Floyd sighed.
"It''s a pity that Old Master Ferguson died in a foreign country like that. He was such an influential figure
in the business world
back then. His ending was too miserable."
Grant did not say anything.
Floyd nced at Nicole, then looked at Grant.
"Anyway, we''ve been working together for so many years. We can''t add insult to injury when the
Ferguson family is in trouble. Although the rtionship between the Stanton family and the Ferguson
family is very fragile, we don''t have to be too sensitive. Eric might look like he''spromising, but that
might not be the case. He''s not a coward, and he must have his own considerations. Even if you guys
can''t help him, you can’t get in the way. Understand?"
