Once Nicole got into the car, sleepiness struck her all of a sudden.
Unknowingly, they arrived at the Stanton Mansion.
Logan sat next to Nicole and helped her to organize the scattered documents. By the time Nicole got out
of the car, it was already organized.
Nicole entered the door with her things. She was still quite sleepy, but once she saw Grant there, she lost
her sleepiness in an instant.
“You’re still awake?”
Floyd came out of the study. When he saw that Nicole was home, he came downstairs and sat down.
Grant nodded. “I knew that you wouldn’t have a smooth night, so I waited for you.”
Nicole asked, “How did you know?”
Grant leaned back on the sofa. His posture was somewhat carefree. “Eric kept his desire for the Sand
City project under wraps. My people in his company just learned about it”..
Nicole pursed her lips. This arrangement was common, just as Eric had his people in Stanton
Corporation.
They just did a great job in keeping it secret.
The butler brought Nicole a warm cup of hot chocolate. Nicole originally had little appetite, but when she
held it in her hands, she could not help but drink two sips.
Floyd pursed his lips. “Ferguson Corporation is very experienced in real estate, so their advantage is
obvious.
When Eric single-handedly drove Atlanta’s real estate prices up, he almost got a monopoly. The rest of
the small companies earn a lot just from taking his scraps. At this time, he decisively made the decision
to let go and get out of the real estate industry. Instead, he turned to industrialization. Before everyone
could react, real estate prices started to dip. He’s a real genius in the business world!”
Even Floyd had such a high evaluation of Eric Ferguson, so it was clear that Nicole had really
underestimated him since the beginning.
Grant’s tone was indifferent. “His preference has always been to go against the tide because he’s
arrogant. He might just set off another storm this time.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows and did not make a sound. According to Eric’s character, it might really be
so.
He wanted to stir up this pool of stagnant water during the real estate downturn.
Nicole curled her lips and sat lazily on the sofa. “That’s still not certain. Who loses and who wins is yet to
be seen!”
“Lil N, you want to keep fighting?” Grant looked at her.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “There’s no reason to give up. Do we have to run away just because we
hear Eric’s name? He has his skills, and I have my way. Even if we lose, we’ll lose in dignity.”
Floyd slapped his thigh. “Great! Lil N is right. We’ll each go according to our abilities. What’s wrong with
a little competition? What’s more, I don’t think that Lil N will lose!”
There was some concern in Grant’s smile, but Floyd and Nicole were both very resolute in their ideas, so
Grant had no reason to rain on their parade.
“Alright, then let’s fight. I support you. But… Although Mr. Lewis has the final decision, we need to
acquire the other company before getting this project. You can start from that company.”
Nicole’s eyes lit up. She had almost forgotten about this. “Great! I’ll prepare for both eventualities. Don’t
worry!”
Grant stood up, reached out, and touched her head with a sigh.
’You’re much better than Mav.”
Nicole was confused. “What happened to Mav? He’s back?” Floyd also let out a long sigh.
“Don’t mention it… Your second brother’s emotional intelligence is too low. When he visited the Stewarts,
he offended half of the family. Others praised him for being smart, so he started lecturing them about a
brief history of human development. They thought that he was insulting them for having incomplete
intellectual development. The meeting ended very badly. Sigh…”
The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched. ’Wow, this is really Mav’s style!’
