    Chapter 1256: Thoughts


    Mr. Nores exined to Alicia with great earnestness. He had been running around, seeking solutions


    for this matter, even causing dys in other projects of Nores Group. If this continued, the impact on


    Nores Group would only increase.


    Mr. Nores was over fifty years old, and the reason he worked so hard was to ensure that Alicia could


    take charge after he retired. However, Alicia had not grown up yet. She always acted ording to her


    own thoughts, which would put her at a disadvantage in this industry. Especially since Nores Group


    was not a top-tierpany, it couldn''t afford any mistakes. By coborating with Simpson Group


    through this project and establishing a partnership with King Group, in the future, if they encountered


    less serious issues, Ayan would be willing to help based on their previous cooperation.


    Although Ayan had a fierce work style, especially when it came to coboration, he wouldn''t tolerate


    any provocations. Ayan was a reasonable person and wouldn''t burn bridges unnecessarily. Mr. Nores


    recognized this and was eager to cooperate with Ayan. Of course, he had also considered the


    possibility of Ayan being with Alicia, which would allow Nores Group to bepletely taken care of by


    Ayan. However, since Ayan was already married, Mr. Nores had to let go of that idea. He had


    witnessed firsthand how much Ayan valued Camille.


    Therefore, he had to make sure Alicia got rid of any thoughts about Ayan and prevent her from easily


    provoking Camille. It would only bring endless trouble for himself.


    But no matter how much Mr. Nores talked, Alicia didn''t listen. She still lived in her own world and


    persisted in believing that this project belonged to the Nores family. Even if they were to withdraw, it


    shouldn''t be the Nores family who withdrew. As capable as Ayan was, he shouldn''t haveplete


    control over this project, right?


    Alicia''s attitude made Mr. Nores realize the seriousness of the situation. He no longer said much,


    simply raising his hand to gently press his temple. His expression turned particrly cold, and a deep


    sense of helplessness appeared in his eyes.


    Mr. Nores didn''t try to persuade Alicia any further. He only instructed his secretary as they drove back


    to the Nores family. After Alicia went inside, Mr. Nores spoke indifferently to the secretary, "Find two


    reliable bodyguards and book a ticket for her to go abroad. Send her away for a while until this project


    stabilizes. Then she cane back."


    The secretary nodded, "Okay, I''ll make the arrangements."


    Mr. Nores had no choice either because Horace''s words were right. If the project kept getting


    suspended, who knows what Ayan would think? If he felt it was a waste of time, he might just withdraw,


    and that would truly be a loss for Nores Group.


    The more Mr. Nores thought about it, the more he realized it was not a small matter. He instructed his


    secretary to arrange everything as soon as possible, noter than tomorrow morning.


    However, he couldn''t let Alicia know. He had to send her away quietly, to prevent her from resisting


    once she found out.


    Mr. Nores couldn''t persuade Alicia alone, so before resting for the night, he had a detailed conversation


    with Alicia''s mother. The project had reached its most crucial stage, and they couldn''t let it be ruined


    because of Alicia''s stubbornness.


    But Mr. Nores didn''t anticipate that Alicia would overhear their conversation in the room. So, taking


    advantage of Mr. Nores not being prepared yet, Alicia left home overnight.


    Neither Mr. Nores nor Abigail had any idea that Alicia had left. Alicia sleptte and woke upte, so


    Abigail didn''t bother her. Mr. Nores, of course, went to thepany early in the morning.


    It wasn''t until the secretary finished reporting the work and was about to leave for the meeting with


    Simpson Group that she asked Mr. Nores, "Mr. Nores, the ticket and personnel are ready. When do you


    n to send Alicia away?"


    "Just today. What time is the flight?"


    "2 pm in the afternoon."


    "Notify the family and have Alicia''s mother send her off."


    And then Mr. Nores left for Simpson Group.


    The meeting today was originally expected to be attended by Mr. Nores, Horace, Ayan, and the project


    team. Mario had returned to Flento City, andst night''s incident was conveyed over the phone, so it


    was assumed that he might not be able to attend the meeting. However, what they didn''t expect was


    that as the meeting was about to start, the assistant informed Kian that Mario had arrived.


    Kian was also somewhat surprised but immediately asked the assistant to bring him in. He then


    promptly reported to Ayan, "Mr. Simpson, Mr. King is here."


    Ayan showed no expression, merely nced around and calmly said to everyone, "Wait a moment, Mr.


    King has arrived."


    After a brief exchange of nces between Horace and Mr. Nores, they nodded subtly.


    The atmosphere quieted down.


    Five minutester, Mario entered with his secretary and his team. Seeing that everyone in the


    Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    conference room was already present, he spoke casually, "Sorry for beingte. I had some other


    matters to attend to today."


    Ayan replied, "We just sat down ourselves."


    Mario took his seat, then looked at Ayan and said, "I didn''t expect Mr. Simpson to resume the project


    so quickly, so I had to deal with somepany matters in Flento City."


    "I understand. Last night, we thought Mr. King couldn''t attend the dinner, so we were nning to have a


    video conference with him. But since Mr. King made it back, we don''t need the video conference


    anymore." Ayan responded calmly, then gave Kian a nce. "Let''s start the meeting!"


    Fourpanies are coborating on this project, and eachpany has assigned their own teams to


    be responsible. However, now we need to select the main project team and the supporting team.


    Otherwise, there will inevitably be disagreements and other issues in the uing coboration."


    This is also one of the main topics of today''s meeting.


    Mr. Nores excused himself and instinctively looked at everyone, waiting for their opinions.


    Ayan remained silent, maintaining hisposure.


    As for Mario, he simply nodded slightly but didn''t speak, leaving it unclear whether he agreed or not.

    After Horace finished speaking, his gaze unconsciously swept across the room, eventuallynding on


    Ayan. They exchanged a brief nce before looking away.


    Horace''s withdrawal relieved Mr. Nores, as if he felt relieved to have one lesspetitor. At the same


    time, he had a higher regard for Horace, thinking highly of him as a person.


    Ayan had remained silent all along, and his silence brought a sense of calm to the atmosphere.


    Mario looked at Ayan, gave a faint smile, and asked, "Why isn''t Mr. Simpson speaking? Do you have


    any thoughts, Mr. Simpson?"
