The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1832 Hit the Wall

Clayton bowed his head and smiled. He did not hide anything and said bluntly, "Not every project that I invest in will be successful. It's just luck. That project won't make a big profit. My wife just told your wife about it after she heard me talking about this project back then. In fact, I've already mentioned the risks. We have to be cautious in investment and we shouldn't blindly follow hearsay."

When Samuel Lindstrom saw Clayton like this, the irritation he felt in his heart disappeared.

Lumi Makinen, that brainless woman, had always regarded Clayton as a legend in the investment world, so much so that she almost hung up Clayton's portrait at home. If Samuel did not stop Lumi, that woman would have wanted to change her phone's lock screen to a picture of Clayton.

This showed how obsessed Lumi was.

However, Lumi was not obsessed with Clayton as a man but as the legend that was undefeated in the investment world.

Due to this, the woman who had repeatedly failed in investment simply worshiped Clayton.

Lumi even took $200 million at once and invested in the project introduced by Clayton.

Although Samuel was not short of that money, he had clearly analyzed the prospect of that project to Lumi. He told her that it was not too profitable, but she did not believe him and even questioned his ability over and over again. How could he not be angry?

Thus, Samuel came over to clarify it with Clayton.

He did not expect that this situation was a misunderstanding.

Clayton smiled. "How about this? I can explain it to your wife, or my wife can explain it to her too. It might not be too late to withdraw your investment."

Clayton did not dispute, nor was he arrogant. He was very understanding.

Samuel sighed with relief. His collar was slightly open, and he leaned back in a relaxed manner.

"No need. It's good to let her hit the wall. Otherwise..."

Otherwise, she would worship Clayton as a god.

Samuel did not say the last sentence. He only had his own thoughts. 'She didn't believe me, right? Then I'll just let her lose out! When she fails at Clayton's hands, she'll know who's more credible then! Hmph!'

Clayton smiled and did not insist.

After all, even though that project would not make a big profit, it was unlikely that it would lose money.

It was just not that profitable.

"Mr. Lindstrom, why didn't you go and socialize? Aren't you very interested in that project?"

Samuel raised his eyebrows. "Oh, you can tell that I'm interested in that big project?"

"It's not just you."

Samuel smiled casually.

"That's true. Initially, I had a chance to win, but now, I can only rely on luck. Once I saw Eric here, I really lost my confidence."

In terms of strength, they could be considered evenly matched.

However, Eric was from the army and had some say there. Ordinary people did not have this advantage.

Thus, Samuel basically gave up on the thought.

Clayton silently curled his lips. Darkness flashed across his eyes.

Was Eric so terrifying?

When Samuel saw Clayton's expressionless face, he thought, 'Was what Lumi said about the relationship between Eric and Clayton true? If they did not get along, why isn't anything happening now? This time, even if I can't get that mysterious big project, I still can't go back empty-handed! Unfortunately, there's no gossip like I've imagined.'

The banquet was very lively with no one leaving before it was over.

It was almost evening by the time the banquet ended.

Clayton looked at his phone. Nicole did not message him, so she should still be at Yvette's place.

He was still sitting in his seat chatting with others. He did not show his interest in these projects and remained indifferent.
