Nicole nodded.
Grant frowned.
“We didn’t get any news that he came.”
Nicole said, “It’s not just us. Even Eric who’s in Liberty doesn’t know, and that was right under his nose. Quavon’s power can’t be underestimated. Quavon’s men lit that fire.”
Grant’s expression turned several degrees colder. His eyes exuded a cold chill.
“He already knows. He came here on purpose to find you. He wanted to catch you off guard and cause an accident, but he didn’t expect you to get away…”
Nicole nodded. For a while, everyone’s hearts were heavy. She was not afraid of the future.
However, there would always be a knife hanging overhead, and it would always be uncomfortable to think about.
It was better to solve this matter as soon as possible. There were a few moments of silence.
No one spoke.
Grant took the lead to break the silence. “I’ll tell Luca to go back immediately and follow you.”
Floyd nodded and expressed his agreement. Nicole smiled, not minding either way.
However, she was a little more at ease with Luca around.
“Big Brother, you just rest assured and deal with the project in Sand City. Once the quality check is almost done, you can start the second phase of the project. There’s no need to delay it too long since it’ll cause heavy losses. The public opinion in the media should be able to be controlled now. After all, so many people saw me being kidnapped and threatened. They won’t believe that I was just putting on a show, right?”
Grant smiled coldly. “Don’t worry. Everyone on the internet is now sympathetic to you. No one believes that there’s something wrong with our product. The proprietors who were causing trouble have all gone quiet. Yesterday, the people handling the quality inspection came over and asked me if I wanted to continue the inspection. They suggested that they just make a pretense that they inspected to brush the matter off. After all, if the delay is too long, it’ll be too cost-inefficient for them.”
Nicole raised her brows. That was good.
“I’ll take care of things here. Leave Quavon to me too.”
Grant raised his head with a calm expression. “You have a solution?”
Nicole smiled. “Of course.”
“Alright, then you handle it. Let me know if you need help.”
Nicole nodded.
They chatted a little more and ended the video call.
Nicole stretched and was about to stand up to go upstairs to sleep.
Floyd called her back.
“I can still handle the company affairs. What’s most important for you now is to rest. Don’t worry about Quavon.”
Nicole smiled and lowered her eyes.
“Dad, you should believe that I can solve this matter. You can always trust me.”
Her smile looked harmless, but she was not a child anymore.
There were a few sharp edges hidden in her smile. As her father, he should know it very well.
His heart ached for what she had gone through, but he was also confident in her abilities.
Now, Nicole was not facing those complicated struggles in the business world, but something more sinister than a business competition.
However, to her, it was not something unexpected.
Floyd paused and watched her walk up the stairs with light steps.
Tigger burrowed out from some corner and lay in Floyd’s arms, nuzzling him.
Floyd stroked it and sighed.
“I always wanted to raise her as a callow little princess, but she’s a little too excellent, isn’t she?”
Tigger lay in his arms in agreement, wagging its tail.
It expressed that it very much agreed with that point of view.
Kai, who was at the side silently playing a game, clicked his tongue and was ignored.
Nicole looked at her phone. Besides messages from Yvette, Julie, and Ian, there were also messages from Eric.
Eric just asked her how she was doing. She had no intention to reply.
He had been talking to himself for a long time.
Nicole planned to wait until she could no Ionger stand it anymore before blocking him.
