Chapter 719

Logan knew what Nicole meant and nodded solemnly. ” Understood. The situation earlier was too
thrilling. Do you want to take a rest first? Or, do you want to go back to the office first? I can take care of
the things here.”

Nicole immediately refused. “No, I’m staying here. You should get Jacob Cook to handle things properly.”



Logan knew of Nicole’s temper. Earlier when faced with such a dangerous situation, Nicole did not even
frown, so she certainly would not run at this time.

Thinking of this, Logan nodded and left. He then arranged for more people to covertly protect Nicole.



Jacob was only given four hours and dared not dare to delay for a moment. He led some staff along with
the third- party agency to the relevant departments to check the accounts.



Once the accounts were almost sorted out, they were all alarmed to see those deficits.

Thus, Jacob did not hesitate to call Nicole and report this situation.



Nicole was drinking lemonade and doing yoga on the balcony. When she picked up the phone, she
subconsciously swept a glance downstairs.

Eric was already here. She frowned.



Jacob said over the phone, “Ms. Stanton, the total loss on this project is more than 87 billion. Most of it is
divided by Lincoln Zelman and a few others. The construction company they found is owned by Lincoln’s
brother-in-law.

A few people died in work accidents, but they only paid less than $1 million for it. I think he simply wants
to use this project to extort money and didn’t plan to sell the project.”

Selling the project was a one-time deal, but if the project stayed in his hands, it was a steady stream of
income.

Nicole also thought of this point. That was why she did not pay Mr. Lewis directly.

This project was a bottomless pit. They were so greedy that they even dared to incur human lives, so
they would certainly not be suppressed by money.

Nicole wanted to get this project done in a clean manner. To do so, she must first remove the poisonous
thorns.

Hearing this, Nicole was silent for a moment before she spoke.

“Inform Mr. Lewis about the accounts issue and let him deal with it. Also, send me a copy.”

This meant that it could not be sent through email.

Jacob immediately understood. ”Okay, I’ll immediately have someone send the flash drive over.”

Nicole hung up the phone. She finished doing a few yoga poses and slowly packed up her things when
she heard the doorbell.

Eric was here.

She went over to open the door and was not at all surprised to see him.



However, she was still a little shocked to see the things in his hand.

Eric was carrying two large bags that were filled with ingredients. He probably got everything from the
supermarket.

He carried the bags in with ease. Nicole stood on the side with her arms folded and her eyebrows raised.

“Mr. Ferguson, you bought so many things. Do you know how to cook them all?”

Eric smiled with such confidence in his eyes that could not be imitated by ordinary people. He went to the
kitchen while rolling up his sleeves. He answered, “I bought a recipe book!”

Nicole was speechless and thought, ’Forget it… Since he saved me again, I’ll just bear with it. If it tastes
bad, I’ll just eat less.”

Eric’s cold aura turned warmer, which made him look more pleasant to the eye.

However…

Nicole was a little surprised when she saw him taking out all sorts of measurement devices and a thick
recipe book from the bag. He then confidently began to prepare the ingredients.

’Wow… What a rare sight!’

When she saw Eric measuring the thickness of the shredded carrot with a ruler, Nicole could not stand it
anymore and went into the bedroom with her phone.

She felt like she saw her second brother, Maverick.

’Why didn’t I realize before that Eric and Mav had something in common? Is this a unique characteristic
of men in STEM? What the hell did I just see?’



Nicole quietly sat in front of the laptop to deal with a few emails. In less than ten minutes, there was a
loud bang from outside.

She was startled and rushed out to see smoke coming from the kitchen.

Eric’s face was dark and sullen as he came out of the kitchen. His expression was very ugly.

She looked at him in shock.

“Eric Ferguson, you blew up the kitchen?!”
