The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 793 She Received a Bribe

Jacob's head hung low. "I also want to strangle myself, Ms. Stanton. I'm sorry for dropping the ball..."

Nicole looked away and breathed a sigh of relief.' Forget it! I'll just pick a healthier project department director next time!'

This time, the press conference was arranged in the middle of the project site. The building that was never finished after changing several hands only had halfstanding walls.

After such a site was simply decorated, it looked like some minimalist industrial style.

The press conference began.

Nicole was in the middle of a group of staff, so no one noticed her presence.

Jacob Cook went to the front and sat down. He began to talk about the development process and prospects of this project.

After several twists and turns, this project finally fell into the hands of Stanton Corporation. Since this project involved the overall development plan of Sand City, everyone paid extra attention to it. One of the reporters asked a question.

"Mr. Cook, I heard that the old staff from Zico Company went to the office to create trouble. Was it related to this project? After Stanton Corporation's acquisition of Zico Company, is the treatment of those old employees the same as before?"

Jacob gradually relaxed. "Of course, it's not the same. You know that Zico Company owed their employees nearly a year of wages. After our acquisition, we filled in the deficit out of our own pockets. If we were the same, they would all go hungry!"

Everyone laughed. The next reporter asked another question.

"Zico Company's top executives were arrested by the police because of business crimes. May I ask if the evidence was provided by Stanton Corporation? Have they been convicted?"

Jacob replied, "Stanton Corporation has been here for nearly two months. During our acquisition process, we'll contact Zico Company and the relevant departments when we replace anything that's not right. Regarding their business crimes, please consult the court and the prosecutor's office..."

Below the stage, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.

Jacob's performance was quite remarkable. He did not drop the ball this time.

Next, it was time for a key person to make an appearance - the wife of the murderer.

No one recognized her, but once the host introduced her, everyone's eyes lit up brightly, like a hungry wolf

that saw food.

According to their plan, the wife of the murderer admitted to all the crimes she had done for the murderer and apologized in the name of her family. In exchange, all the medical bills for her daughter who had cancer would be waived.

She did as promised. It looked like everything was going well. Although her life was miserable, she did not deserve sympathy.

Logan, who followed Nicole, bowed his head and asked her in a low voice, "President, everyone will be scattered around later, so it'll be chaotic. Shall we leave first?"

Nicole paused. Her fine eyebrows knitted slightly. "Wait..."

She somehow felt a strange worry in her heart, as if the situation should not be so calm.

The woman on the stage finished those words in tears, then expressed gratitude for Stanton Corporation's understanding. When Jacob was about to announce his exit, he suddenly heard someone among the reporters shouting.

"This woman received a bribe! Her husband is about to be sentenced to death, yet she still speaks for Stanton Corporation. Exactly how much benefit did they give you?"

In an instant, there was a strange atmosphere on site. Many people were whispering with their heads down.

That person's allegation among the reporters disrupted the mood that was set in the beginning.

Instead, everyone was more curious about what private deal this woman had with Stanton Corporation.

"Our President Nicole almost died, yet you guys are questioning our intentions?!"

Jacob's face turned red with anger.

"But isn't Ms. Stanton fine now? This woman's husband is about to be sentenced to death, so who knows if this was planned by you guys a long time ago? It's easy to bribe someone to admit guilt after all
