Chapter 713

There was silence for three seconds.

Nicole also calmed down. “I know. I will be prepared. Thank you.”

This word of thanks came from the heart. After that, she hung up the phone.

The string on the bow was taut, so the arrow had to be shot. From the time Nicole decided to take this

project, she had to take it head-on no matter what the difficulty was.

Eric cursed under his breath. He was even more anxious. He turned to look at Mitchell. “Let’s go to Sand

City.”

Mitchell immediately understood. “Didn’t we talk to Mr. Lewis beforehand that we don’t have to contact

those project people personally?”

This was the advantage of a superior person like Eric Ferguson. If it could be solved with money, he

would not get himself involved and put himself in a dangerous situation.

Eric’s eyes were sunken and dark. “Nicole went. Send more people there to stay on guard.”

Mitchell’s expression immediately became solemn. ” Understood.”

When Nicole went to Sand City, she made a beeline for Zico Company.

Everyone was not expecting it.

Jacob Cook had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Nicole, he finally found courage.

“Ms. Stanton, this company only says that it’s cooperating, but in fact, it’s not. We can only look at a few

ledgers at a time, and we need layers of their management’s approval to get them. It’s very laborious and

time-consuming…”

Nicole walked with an extremely cold and powerful aura. ” Alright, let’s take the books away first.”

Logan followed behind Nicole and watched as Nicole walked in looking unfazed.

He turned back and told the rest of his people to follow closely.

This was the first time Nicole came to the Zico Company’s office. Everyone there was playing cards. This

scene seemed somewhat familiar.

Nicole gave a meaningful glance at Jacob, who was so frightened that his face paled.

The project department almost got fired.

Jacob had to do something so that Nicole and the rest had no reason to dismiss him.

Nicole went straight to the finance department. She pushed the door open.

The person inside was sitting at the table joking and laughing, with a lazy and unrestrained look.

The man froze. His face immediately turned ugly. “You’re… Nicole Stanton?”

Nicole smiled. “Yes, I really didn’t expect that someone would recognize me.”

The man smiled playfully and sized up her face and figure with narrowed eyes.

“It’s hard not to recognize you, Ms. Stanton. You’re much more popular than celebrities, and you’re my

goddess!

What do you want?”

“You’re in charge of Zico Company’s finances? You’re Hector Leach?” Nicole asked.

“Yes, your lapdog already told you? I know you want to acquire Zico, so just make a direct offer. We

won’t have a problem if the price is right. Why bother to do so many checks?”

Nicole smiled perfunctorily. “It’s just a procedure. If we don’t understand the accounts beforehand, how

can we make an offer?”

“Then there’s no need to negotiate. Anyway, Stanton Corporation isn’t our only option. As far as I know,

Ferguson Corporation is also interested in us. Eric Ferguson is certainly easier to deal with than you!”

Hector’s gaze was everywhere as he sized her up. Her smile was bright and perfect. Her expression and

reactions were impeccable.

He wanted to touch her, but he was afraid to because she was not an ordinary woman.

Nicole’s smile was faint. There was a chill in her still eyes.

“Eric Ferguson won’t make an offer easily. It’s not so easy to take his money.”

Hector Leach sneered, slapped the table, and gestured underneath. He had a bully’s smile.

“It’s not so easy to take my things either. Our company has its own rules. If you want the books, you

need to go through a dozen procedures for approval. Our president went on a business trip and will only

return in ten days or a half month. Do you want to wait?”

Obviously, Hector was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Others were afraid of Nicole because she was the heiress of Stanton Corporation, but what can a

princess like that be capable of?

No matter how powerful Nicole was, there was no way that she could take the ledgers from Hector today.

Hector smiled smugly.

Nicole lowered her eyes and raised them again. She curled her lips into an extremely cold smile.

”Then I won’t be polite anymore. Logan, get our people to take these away.”
