Chapter 1670

You‘re Not the Only One

Clayton laughed. “Well, we both have our own interpretations, but it’s a good name. Let’s just use this.”

It could fool others and comfort themselves at the same time.

Nicole happily raised her eyebrows. “Well then, I’ll leave that mess in Liberty to you. Don’t tire yourself
too much. Make sure you take a break!”

Clayton raised his eyebrows. “Okay, but it looks like I can’t go back immediately. It’ll take at least a few
more days for the situation to stabilize.”

Nicole was a little lazy and disappointed. “Okay, it’s your call. If you delay me from going on a vacation,
you’ll be responsible for the consequences!”

She half-jokingly hung up the phone.

Nicole saw the four supervisors in front of her and immediately changed her expression. Her gaze
turned cold.

‘So, who will take responsibility for this partner breaking the contract?” No one present expected that
Nicole’s attitude could change so fast.

Earlier, she was just answering the phone happily, but in the blink of an eye, she became so cold.

The people present were so scared that their faces turned pale.

They did not dare to fool Nicole as she was ruthless.

Previously, some people tried to instigate strife between the Stanton siblings to compete for interests.
However, those people were dismissed by Grant as soon as they made a move.



Thus, no one dared to easily fool the Stantons. The project manager in charge turned pale and
coughed.

“Ms. Stanton, I’ll definitely investigate this matter clearly as soon as possible. If this is the subordinates’
doing, I’ll definitely not let them off the hook!”

Nicole laughed lightly. It looked like he wanted to find a scapegoat.

Her eyes coldly swept over the man’s face and stared at him in silence for a few seconds.

She suddenly opened her mouth. “What if it turns out to be you?”

Her lightly spoken words made the man shiver. His face was miserably white, and his whole body
stiffened. He was antsy.



The air seemed to be frozen.

The man did not dare to continue.

Nicole lowered her gaze, folded her long legs, and leaned lazily against the back of the chair.

She took out a stack of materials from one side and threw it in front of him.

“The matter has already been investigated clearly. Since you’ve caused such a great loss to the
company, we can’t tolerate you anymore.”

MY

“Ms. Stanton…” The man immediately stood up. “I’m loyal to the company! I’ve created so much profit
for the company. There’s no reason to just…”



He was anxious. “It’s just a little kickback. Am I the only one in the company who takes kickbacks?”

At the end of the day, he was defiant.

Nicole watched in silence. After he finished speaking, she let out a light laugh.

“You’re right, you’re not the only one in the company to take kickbacks. But you’re the only one who
used this kickback as a condition to blackmail our client and was slapped in the face.”

It might not have been anything if this matter had not been brought to light.

However, this partner was an old friend who had been cooperating with Stanton Corporation since
Floyd was in charge.

Nicole and Grant have always valued and respected this cooperation with this company. They have
been cooperating at the original price for decades. Although it was not much profit, it was still enough.

The cooperation between these two families was only because of friendship.

However, the partner called Floyd to apologize and said that they would no longer be cooperating in the
future.

This was not considered a small thing.

If they could not keep their promise, more of such events would occur in the future.

Leeches would continue feeding on the bottom.

“Ms. Stanton, I wanted to fight for more profits for the company. After so many years of cooperation,
we should also raise our prices. Otherwise, it’s not fair to other partners…”



That person began to change course. He thought that he was being just and standing up for the
company.
