Autumn took a deep breath. After a long time, her nerves slowly calmed down.
She stood up and went straight to the Leonards’ residence.
Old Master Leonard looked like he had been waiting for Autumn for a long time.
He frowned at her.
“I couldn’t contact you and thought you disappeared!”
Autumn smiled and resumed her usual well-behaved and understanding appearance.
“Why would I? Of course, I’ll come back to pay my respects to you, Grandpa!”
Old Master Leonard’s face was a little heavy. “This is beyond our expectation. Nicole didn’t come back a second
time to beg me. Instead, she issued a statement asking for an inspection.”
At that moment, Old Master Leonard was a little nervous.
Autumn said, “So what if it’s an inspection? Anyway, the project will be delayed, and they’ll pay for the losses. No
matter what the result of the inspection is, Stanton Corporation’s project will surely lose money.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOld Master Leonard glared at Autumn.
“Do you think I want to get into trouble with Stanton Corporation? Floyd Stanton is not easy to deal with. Back then,
I wanted to expand my power to Atlanta, but with Floyd Stanton around, Atlanta is like a brick wall, and now, he has
forced me to Sand City. If he finds out that I made things difficult for his daughter, it won’t do us any good to have a
fallout with them!”
Autumn looked at Old Master Leonard, who rarely got mad at her.
She pursed her lips, and her heart unconsciously became even more jealous of Nicole.
This was the first time Autumn had heard of someone who could make Old Master Leonard feel a sense of crisis.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. Worse comes to worst, you can take the initiative to step in and appease Nicole in a couple
of days by letting the inspection pass quickly. She’ll have to be grateful to you as usual.”
Old Master Leonard stared at Autumn for a few seconds and spoke in a gruff tone.
“In a couple of days? Now, Stanton Corporation has issued a statement. After a couple of days, do you think that I
can still intervene?”
Autumn’s face stiffened.
“You want to give in now?”
Old Master Leonard pursed his lips and took a deep breath.
“Autumn, I don’t remember that you and Nicole have any deep hatred, so why make such a fuss and cause both
sides to lose so much? Before the authorities move in on the project team, get that reporter to take the blame and
solve this matter. Their project can continue and both
sides will be able to maintain our relationship. If this goes on, I’m afraid that Floyd Stanton will come to me to settle
accounts!”
Old Master Leonard was anxious, especially after seeing that statement from Nicole.
He thought their trouble would drag on for a few more days, so he was happy to see a good show, but now, Nicole
had no intention to go to him for help.
Old Master Leonard was unable to sit still.
Although he has a wide network in various places and could have a say in certain things because of his good
relationship with people, this was all based on the premise that his position in Sand City was solid. Old Master
Leonard knew the extent of Stanton Corporation’s power, which was not something he could challenge.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Floyd Stanton stepped in, those people would just need to take a look at Floyd’s power and Old Master Leonard’s
empty shell to see the situation clearly.
Autumn’s expression changed a few times. She suffered a blow from Nicole earlier and did not expect to come
back to hear that Old Master Leonard wanted to compromise.
Autumn was tense as she made a desperate attempt to hold her emotions back.
“Grandpa, we have nothing to do with Stanton Corporation. Just because we don’t help, will Floyd Stanton come to
trouble us? What right does he have to do that? Helping her is our kindness. Not helping is also our right, so what
are you afraid of?”
Autumn did not understand.
Nicole had no evidence of Autumn’s involvement in this. Thus, it would be unreasonable for Floyd Stanton to find
trouble with them.
Old Master Leonard looked at Autumn with a stern face.
“Autumn, turning a deaf ear and a blind eye to something is a big taboo in the business world. Do you think that
Floyd Stanton is a fool?”
Autumn’s face was glum as she clenched her teeth. She was not convinced.
It was such a good plan, but they had to ad mit defeat just like that?
Then, all her efforts would just be in vain.
