Nicole saw it and curled up the corners of her lips.
"Your words are too harsh.”
Clayton sat aside with an indifferent look on his face.
“Was it?"
"It’s too harsh, but I like it,” Nicole added.
Clayton smiled at Nicole and reached out to rub her ear.
"Do you suspect her?"
Autumn's arrival meant that she was anxious.
Why was she anxious?
That was because Autumn knew very well that Nicole was going to find out.
Nicole curled the corner of her lips. "Of course."
Soon.
After Autumn went out, she knew that it would not work trying to negotiate with Nicole, but there was not much time left until the time given by Old Master Leonard.
If Autumn did not get things sorted out today, Old Master Leonard would definitely suspect her.
Autumn stood on the street, thought about it, and made a phone call.
"Have someone tamper with the quality inspection process. Replace those qualified ones with unqualified ones. This way, even if Nicole personally went to the site, she could not explain herself.”
The other side let out a light laugh.
"Too late. Nicole already had her people store the unused building materials. Those workers are watching the warehouse tightly to keep their jobs, so n o one can enter."
Autumn was anxious. "What about those completed ones? Don't you know how to bribe the homeowners?"
"Ms. Ferguson, those homeowners formed a front. It's not that we can’t bribe them, but bribing one or two owners is simply useless and will expose ourselves instead. Stanton Corporation wrote clearly in the statement that if there are problems, they can return the house, but once they do so, they might have to spend more money to buy it back. They can’t even buy it back. Do you know how big the prospects of this project are in Sand City?"
Autumn did not have the patience to listen to him saying this nonsense.
"This won’t work. That won’t work! Are you just waiting for Nicole to come and settle the score with you?"
The other party was silent for a few seconds.
"We'll see to it."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Autumn was furious. 'Am I the only anxious one here? Forget it. I can't release that reporter so easily. I’ll just drag it out for a few days if possible...'
