The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 570 Don’t Betray Me

The atmosphere in the office became heavy all of a sudden.

Gerard Lichman looked at Nicole and saw that she did not seem to be joking. He suddenly felt that he had gone too far.

This would not just drag down Clayton Sloan but also his main partner, Stanton Corporation.

Nicole would not be unmoved if it involved the interests of her company.

However, if Gerard betrayed Eric, it would not just impact their personal relationship. It might even end their three-way cooperation. During Gerard's moment of hesitation, Nicole narrowed her eyes and seemingly realized something.

"Who is it?"

Gerard's thin lips were tightly pursed, and his face looked taut.

"No one... This was my poorly thought-out decision... I'll have everyone cancel their leave and come back immediately."

"Mr. Lichman, I'm afraid this matter won't be so simple."

Nicole looked at him with a solemn gaze. "I'll have my legal team draw up a contract that will put a limit to the research period. I will also send a team to regularly check on the R&D results. If this can't be done, then we can always end our cooperation. After all, J&L Corporation still isn't Stanton Corporation's only choice.

Gerard's eyes darkened slightly. He looked calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was regretting his move.

The way Nicole had turned her back on him was really unexpected.

He had been too carefree with Nicole.

With J&L Corporation's current size, there was no way they could pose any threat to Stanton Corporation, especially since Nicole's brother Maverick was the Great God of Science.

This time, he was at fault, so Nicole certainly would not turn the page so easily.

According to her means toward Harrison Corporation, she was already considered extraordinarily generous for not doing the same to J&L Corporation.

Otherwise, if it really came to that, even Eric Ferguson would not be able to save him.

Gerard coughed and softened his attitude.

"This matter still needs to be discussed. Ms. Stanton, why don't we go for lunch together?"

Nicole curled up her lips into a cold smile.

"This isn't up for discussion, Mr. Lichman. Our relationship is not yet to the point where we can joke about the company's interests. I think you should be clear about how much losses you've incurred during these few days, so you must bear it all."

Gerard was forced to get nervous. Nicole's tenacity and professionalism were even more pressuring than Eric's, but he still dared not betray Eric at this time.

"Ms. Stanton, I can pay for the losses, but..."

"No buts." Nicole coldly interrupted his words." Because I'm the client."

Her attitude was clear and cold. She turned on her heels and left as soon as she said her piece.

Nicole did not care whether it was Gerard's authorization or someone else.

She just wanted to make it clear that their relationship was built on the mutual interests of their cooperation.

As soon as Nicole left J&L Corporation, she called her company's legal department and instructed them to immediately start drawing up a contract to spell out J &L Corporation's responsibility. Gerard Lichman immediately called Eric Ferguson after Nicole left.

He did not do a good job on this matter. While trying to teach Clayton a lesson, he had offended Nicole.

When Eric picked up the phone, Gerard recounted what just happened and rubbed his brow helplessly.

"Mr. Ferguson, I did my best, but Ms. Stanton is still angry. If she really sends her people to start verifying our research progress, won't we have a lot more to do?"

There was a silence on Eric's side.

Gerard thought that he had hung up.

Eric said, "Just let her be."

Gerard was puzzled. 'Huh? That's not what I wanna hear after complaining!'

Eric added, "Don't betray me."
