The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1943 He's a Puppet

Nicole also became more solemn.

She knew what Mitchell meant, but a shortcoming that was already known to everyone was not a true shortcoming. Countless companies began to compete for the core technology so as to get the right to speak in the world.

However, there were not many companies in Mediania that could fight with foreign companies.

Stanton Corporation's weakness was in its core technology.

Thus, Grant painstakingly tried to establish a laboratory. Even if it took five or ten years, there would be a day when their hard work would finally pay off.

They managed to land the military project, which meant that they had a strong foundation.

What they wanted to study was also not only limited to the military industry.

Mitchell looked at Nicole, pursed his lips, and spoke.

"I know that if Mr. Ferguson came here to talk to you in person, he might not get the opportunity to cooperate with you. I hope that you'll grasp this rare opportunity."

Nicole pondered for a few seconds before she let out a light laugh. Her expression changed, and her voice was clear and cold as she said, "To be honest, I feel that you guys are setting up a trap for me. Although I don't know what your ultimate goal is, I will never jump into this trap even if I have to pay the penalty for breach of contract." Mitchell heard the rejection in her words.

He closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, exhausted.

"Ms. Stanton, are you refusing to cooperate because Mr. Ferguson wronged you?"

Nicole lowered her eyes and let out a laugh.

"Now that I think about it, the last time Eric came back to Mediania, he wanted the military project, but it ended up in my hands. In fact, if Eric wanted to fight for it then, he may be able to take it over. The reason he didn't compete for it in the past is either because he had other plans, or he was just being impetuous."

Mitchell frowned and raised his eyes to look at Nicole.

Nicole was not the same as before. He could clearly feel it.

She had no qualms about analyzing other people's vileness ?b#:SMQ? weaknesses, even if that person had countless entanglements with her in the past.

However, every word she said was to the point.

"Judging by Mr. Ferguson's character, he's not an impetuous person, so that means he has other plans in store, right?"

Nicole said this last sentence with a smile.

Mitchell's expression changed dramatically.

Neither of them spoke for a full minute.

In the end, Mitchell sighed.

"Ms. Stanton, you don't believe that Mr. Ferguson gave up the project to make you happy?"

Nicole raised her eyebrows and looked at Mitchell.

She clearly did not believe it.

If she believed that Eric could give up such a big slice of cake for her, she probably had a concussion.

Eric was definitely not amongst those who would sacrifice their life for her.

"Of course, I don't believe it. I'm not a teenager, so it'll be impossible for me to believe in a man's selfless offering."

Mitchell let out a light laugh and shook his head.

"Ms. Stanton... you've truly grown."

In a short span of three years, Nicole had transformed into another person.

There was a moment of silence.

Mitchell drank the coffee in front of him in one gulp.

He took a deep breath and looked at her solemnly.

'There was indeed another reason for giving up that military project. At that time, Mr. Ferguson was being watched. If he got that project, he would only end up becoming someone else's puppet. So, he simply did not bother to fight. Stanton Corporation has a tight management style, so others won't be able to take advantage of you. That project landing in your hands is the right thing to do."

Nicole looked at Mitchell indifferently.

Although a strange feeling emerged in her heart, she remained calm and unmoved on the surface.

"Puppet? Who could Eric possibly be a

puppet for?"

She asked with a smile.
