The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1941 Ulterior Motives

This group of foreigners did not seem simple, nor did they look like pure businessmen.

How did Eric get together with these people?

Before Nicole could dwell on it, Julie dragged Nicole away.

Grant noticed that the ladies ran away happily but came back lost in thought.

He looked at the two of them, but his hands were busy.

Grant wanted to ask them what was going on, but there were too many people around.

He coughed.

"You two, come over and help..."

Nicole paused and followed Julie over.

Grant looked at Nicole. "What happened?"

Nicole hesitated to speak because she did not know what to say.

Grant glanced at Julie. "Tell me."

Julie did not dare to hold back and told Grant everything she saw just now.

Grant's movements slowly stiffened.

His expression was sullen and cold.

"You weren't mistaken?"

Julie shook her head. "Definitely not!"

Nicole pondered for a moment and told Grant about the logo that she saw on the boat.

"Big Brother, Old Master Ferguson just passed away, so why would Eric return to Mediania at this time? I think that there's something off about it. Moreover, Samuel and Clayton coincidentally left the country because of foreign issues. Is this all a coincidence?"

Nicole did not notice it at first.

However, now that she thought about it, why would Liberty suddenly encounter problems that only Clayton could solve?

The Lindstrom family's oil business in East Asia had been running smoothly for decades. Why would they suddenly encounter a tricky problem?

Why would Eric suddenly return to Mediania right after Old Master Ferguson was shot and killed?

Piecing these together, Nicole felt that these abnormalities should not be ignored.

Grant paused in his movement. He slowly put down the things in his hands and looked at Nicole with a deep gaze. "The people I've sent abroad to investigate still haven't gotten back to me yet. Let's wait a few more days. Perhaps Eric won't be able to keep it to himself and will tell us himself."

Nicole lowered her eyes. Her mind was in turmoil, b-?WNU= she did not know what to say for a while.

Everyone around them was joking and laughing. They were the only ones who were lost in thought.

Aida called them from afar. Grant patted Nicole's shoulder and spoke in a low voice.

"Don't think too much. Go and have fun."

The corners of Nicole's mouth twitched. She tried her best to act as if nothing was wrong and walked over with Julie.

A few days passed.

There was no movement from Eric.

To ease Nicole's mind, Grant gave her a few days off to have fun with her friends.

Nicole did not bother to go to the office and handed all her work to Grant.

She planned to take her daughter to Liberty to look for Clayton, but Chatty suddenly fell ill.

It was a minor seasonal cold, but it was particularly serious to the child.

Floyd was not in the best of health, so Nicole personally took care of Chatty.

This holiday was not that fun after all.

On the last day of her vacation, Nicole received a call from Lance.

She found it a little strange

Lance did not hesitate and spoke frankly.

"Ms. Stanton, there's something that I want to ask you about. I hope you won't mind."

Nicole quietly listened to him finish.

The confusion that she felt for so many days suddenly cleared up.

Eric did not do anything himself. Instead, he contacted Lance, wanting a foreigner to participate in ten percent of the shares.

Of course, the conditions he offered were very enticing. Lance would not be at a loss.

However, Sheldon Corporation was merely a family business. Although it was a listed company, its capital basically came from partners that they were familiar with. Lance was not interested in this bargain of having an unknown foreign power suddenly buy into their shares.

That was because he could not read Eric.
