The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2207 Couldn’t Hold Back

Nicole looked at the opened document. On the other side was Clayton's name.

She was familiar with his handwriting.

It was presented in front of her eyes in this way.

Nicole gritted her teeth and hesitated to sign.

Roland pursed his lips.

"Madam, you can only take over everything of Mr. Sloan after you sign this. That way, I can officially start the formalities. Mr. Sloan also bought an additional fund for Chatty and Michael. However, Michael can only receive his after reaching adulthood, and Chatty can withdraw hers at any time. Some projects abroad require the follow-up signature of the administrator. If you don't sign, it'll be completely put on hold. Madam..."

He hesitated to speak and was in a difficult position.

They did not hold a funeral for Clayton because they did not want to admit his death.

They were more hopeful that he would appear one day, or that he only disappeared temporarily.

The Stanton family was silent about this, and Roland had no reason to intervene.

However, Roland had to make it clear when it involved Clayton's will.

Clayton left those assets for his wife.

Nicole hesitated for a few seconds, picked up a pen, and signed her name on it.

"Roland, please contact me if you need my cooperation in the future. As for the ongoing projects, you can follow up and continue or stop the projects according to your professional evaluation. There's no need to persist if the projects aren't necessary."

Roland nodded immediately and took a deep breath. He had a look of admiration and joy on his face.

Clayton had all kinds of businesses in Mediania and abroad, and they were more complex and widespread than they imagined.

If no one came out to take charge even if they continued their business as usual, it would be difficult to guarantee that the people under them would stay submissive.

At that time, the businesses would go downhill after five years at most.

However, Nicole was different. She was not just a rich housewife who knew nothing.

She was a professional executive, so she was naturally capable of handling all these. No one but Nicole was more suitable to take over Clayton's position.

Roland did not ant to be unemployed after a few years.

"Sure, Madam. I will try my best to arrange everything and sort out the assets in Mr. Sloan's name quickly."

Nicole nodded.

"He trusted you, so I'll naturally trust you as well. Regardless of whether Clayton comes back or not, I'll keep these assets for him."

Roland nodded.

"Then we won't take up any more of your time, Madam. If you have time tomorrow, I would like to take you to the office to show your face. Mr. Sloan doesn't show up often abroad, but in Mediania..." He hesitated. Since Nicole was in Mediania, it would stir countless rumors if she did not show up.

Nicole nodded. "Okay, you can arrange it. Just contact Logan when the time comes."

Roland got the answer he wanted, so he did not delay further.

The lawyer also stood up to follow Roland and said goodbye to Nicole.

Nicole looked at a copy of the document the lawyer left behind for two full minutes.

Then, she silently put it away and locked it in the safe.

After a while, Logan knocked on the door and came in.

"President, it's time for the meeting. Everyone is here."

Nicole nodded. "Okay."

This time, she agreed quickly.

Perhaps it was because she felt that she could not continue to muddle through life any longer.

When Nicole arrived at the meeting room, she realized that they were going to discuss a brand new project abroad.

Artificial intelligence reached a new level and incorporated human emotions. Combined with cloning and blood analysis, they could create a brand-new technology.

People in Europe proposed to apply this technology in "appropriate" places.

This project was not yet commonplace around the world.

There was only news of this in one of the European countries.

However, the tricky thing was that if they wanted to be involved in this project, they would need to go abroad for an inspection.

Since Aida was pregnant, Grant would not agree to go.

Then, Nicole was the only person who could go.

In the conference room, everyone said their piece. The directors of several departments looked at Nicole in unison and waited for her statement.

At this moment, Nicole finally understood why Grant would rather ask Logan to postpone this meeting instead of attending it himself.

Although the project was very profitable, it took a lot of effort.

Especially since they had to go abroad, and this was not an easy task.

Such a large and dangerous project must be approved by the company's decision-makers, and Nicole was the most suitable candidate.

This matter reached Floyd's ears.

Aida also knew about it.

Aida sighed helplessly and said, "Grant should go because we'll be worried if you go alone for so long."

Nicole sat there and held a cup of coffee in her hand. She quietly watched Chatty play with Fischer.

When she heard this, she smiled. "Forget it. You need someone to care for you during these few months. Even if Grant goes abroad, he will only be worried about you, and he won't be able to concentrate on his work. So, it's best if I go."

Grant was silent on the side as he frowned.

Meanwhile, Kai played dead in the corner as he thought, 'Anyone can go but me! Please don't let me go... I don't want to suffer!'

Aida touched her stomach with a sorry expression on her face.

"But it's such hard work. We won't be at ease if you do. Why don't you put this aside for a while? By then, Grant should be free."

Grant finally spoke. "That won't do. That technology company will hold a secret business reception half a month later. They only sent out invitations to ten companies, and I got the invitation with great difficulty, so this can't be delayed. Lil N should go. The project is still immature, so if you think it won't work, just come back. But if I remember correctly, this company is holding a world tour, participating in black technology exhibitions in various countries. If you're interested, you can follow them and treat it as a vacation."

Floyd subconsciously glanced at him.

Then, he paused and said, "Your elder brother is right. You've been exhausted during this time. The most important thing is to take this opportunity to go out and relax. Anyway, the money is in our hands, so it's up to us to decide whether to invest in this project. Just drop it if it's too high of a risk."

Nicole turned the coffee cup in her hand.

She also felt that it was impossible to push out this project, so she had already made mental preparations.

It was just unexpected to hear that there was an opportunity to go on a world tour.

"Okay then, I'll go."

Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought, 'I'm so glad that no one paid attention to me!'

Aida was still a little worried and frowned slightly.

"Would you like to get someone to accompany you? I'm still worried about you being alone!"

Nicole smiled. "Luca will follow me."

Grant pursed his lips. "Lil K will go with you."

"Why?! I don't want to go!"

Kai wanted to jump up immediately when he heard his name.

Every cell in his body was resisting this.

Kai ran up to Floyd aggrievedly, knelt on one knee, and hugged Floyd's thigh to beg him.

"Dad, don't you want another grandchild? Julie and I don't have kids yet, so we can't have a long-distance relationship! She'll dump me! There are too many handsome guys in the entertainment circle and too many temptations. If I'm not here, she won't be able to hold back!"
