Chapter 741

Nicole would not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but they needed to leave evidence in case those
greedy people made another demand. Logan looked at Nicole with admiration and nodded.

Such a complicated and difficult situation was actually solved by Nicole through coaxing and threats.
Nicole was really worthy of being a CEO.



She went to the office to take a break and breathed a sigh of relief. Half an hour later.

Jacob climbed upstairs, panting. “Ms.Stanton, everyone dispersed…” Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Is
that so? How’s the response?”
Jacob wanted to give Nicole a pat on the back for being so brilliant. “Half of the people took the money
and left. There are still five or six who want to work, so I took down their information. The rest
scattered…” Nicole smiled and rubbed the rim of the cup.



Those that did not take the money were probably afraid that they would be pursued after taking the
money. It was good that they were cautious and family-oriented. “That leader has been dealt with?”
Jacob nodded. ”The police took him away. Someone said that he’s Lincoln Zelman’s brother-in-law, so I
reckon that Lincoln has something to do with this fuss.” Nicole pursed her lips.



“We must be careful. Nothing can go wrong before the unveiling of the project.” Jacob knew the stakes.
After hearing Nicole’s command, he made sure to be doubly careful. “Ms. Stanton, Hector Leach
admitted to falsifying the accounts and that it was all directed by Lincoln Zelman. With all the evidence,
Lincoln Zelman had to admit his fault, but…” Jacob hesitated for a while. “Lincoln set up a lot of traps in
this project.



He also doesn’t admit to all those lives lost. His father-in-law and brother-in-law are handling the
construction of the project. They didn’t change a contractor even after mishaps. When someone dies on
site, they just stop work and pay compensation. Previously, when we wanted to get a new contractor, his
father-in-law and brother-in-law interfered, so no one in Sand City dared not bid for the project.” Nicole
paused for a moment and looked at him. “Then where did you get the new contractor?”



It was not smooth sailing, but since Jacob never mentioned it, it indicated that the problem was solved.
Jacob said, “It’s introduced by Mr. Ferguson.” Nicole raised her eyelids and stared at Jacob without
speaking. Jacob explained stiffly, “It was recommended by Mr. Lewis, but Mr. Lewis said very clearly that
Mr. Ferguson asked him to pass on this contact.

Mr. Ferguson knew that we would not be able to find a contractor, so he recommended a new one. I’ve
done my investigation on them. This builder has a clean history and a good reputation. It doesn’t have
any dark past.”

He meant that this builder recommended by Eric was like an angel that fell from heaven.

The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched. She lowered her eyes and thought, ‘How could Eric be
concerned about this small matter?’

“Since there’s nothing wrong with the contractor’s background, just use them. Although Eric Ferguson
lost to us, he’s not so despicable as to tamper with the contractor.”

This was not fitting to Eric’s status.

Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded. He spoke without thinking.

“I guess that Mr. Ferguson did this for your sake and didn’t want this kind of trivial matter to worry you…”



Logan, who was on the side, gave Jacob a blank look. ‘Haha… He licked the wrong boot…’

Nicole pursed her lips indifferently. Nicole stood up and glanced at Logan. “Let’s go back to the hotel
first.” Logan nodded.

The hotel owned by Stanton Corporation was not yet renovated, so Logan booked another luxury service
apartment for her.

Nicole replied to a few urgent emails as soon as she went back, then changed her clothes to take a nap.

Logan also had to collect things from Zico Company, so he did not stay back with Nicole.

When Nicole woke up from her nap, the sky was already dim.
