Chapter 627 Erratic Man

Midway through the meeting.

Nicole received several phone calls and text messages from Xander.

She did not answer.

His text messages came one after another.

[Ms. Stanton, you have to believe me... This is all a trap by Mr. Ferguson and Yuliana. They set me up!]

[Ms. Stanton, I respect and like you very much. The first time I saw you, I knew that you were unique. I

approached you with great respect and sacredness and love you so much...]

[Ms. Stanton, please save me. I don’t want my career to end. I still have a long way to go in life...]

Nicole swept a glance and immediately felt a gag reflex. She felt extremely disgusted.

'I was so blind! How could I think to support such a rotten person before?!’

Without hesitation, Nicole blocked Xander.

In the meantime, she also sent a text message to Dominic. [Tell Xander to get lost, the farther the

better!]

Nicole did not want to care anymore. What was supposed to be her money tree became a value trap.

This was simply a big, failed investment to Nicole.

Applause erupted in the meeting.

The host invited the next speaker.

Clayton smiled, stood up, and lowered his head to look at Nicole as he spoke softly, "It's my turn to go

on. If I slip up, please correct me."

Nicole clenched her fist in a cheering gesture.

Clayton walked up with smiling eyes and instantly became the center of attention. The whole room

quieted down.

He was tall and well-built. His movements were elegant, and his aura was calm and steady. His

sharpness was hidden under his modest eyes, which gave others the impression that he was gentle.

However, an inadvertent glance would vaguely reveal his cold profundity.

"Hello everyone, it's an honor to be here..."

Nicole watched with a smile. The content of his speech was more popular and practical than the other

speakers before him. Instead of introducing his company, Clayton focused on introducing the artificial

intelligence project.

Most importantly, he also frankly stated the cause and effect of the accident in Europe, which attracted

everyone’s attention.

"We will eventually walk toward the future. The development of artificial intelligence is an invitation t o

the future world. We're still in the process of exploring the field and will keep moving forward endlessly.

This is inevitable. The driverless car is a minuscule part of this project in which the world has broken

past prejudices and openly accepts its arrival. This is just the beginning of what's to come..."

At once, the sound of applause in the room was endless and enthusiastic.

Clayton, who was on stage, glanced over in a certain direction below the stage. His gaze was tender

and unmoving.

Nicole met Clayton's gaze for a few seconds, and for some reason, her heart trembled slightly.

She hastily lowered her head and thought that she was probably affected by the fervent atmosphere.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric was in a meeting when a tactless person kept sending him messages. His notification chimed one

after another.

His face sank with impatience.

The employee who was reporting his work faintly froze. Eric spoke in a cold voice. "Continue.”

As he said that, he picked up his phone and clicked on

it.

In an instant, Eric's pupils shrank fiercely. His face became dark and ugly as the overwhelming

coldness i n his eyes spread through his angry face. 'Clayton Sloan is with Nicole now?!'

The department head who was speaking unconsciously wiped his sweat. His face turned a little pale.

"Mr. Ferguson, during your absence these days, some projects are temporarily shelved. These are

extremely high risk, so the project department isn't sure whether to continue additional investment..."

"Slam-"

Eric slammed his phone on the table. His gaze harshly crossed the department head who spoke as he

said in a frigid voice, "So, what’s the use of hiring you all?"
