Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1401

Nicholas looked at him indifferently. "Why so anxious, Mr. Montgomery?"

"Isn't the Montgomery family's foundation deep? It's just a standard project review. Surely it can withstand a little public scrutiny?"

The crowd's gazes turned even more loaded.

This wasn't just about withstanding scrutiny.

Nicholas had publicly seized them by the throat.

The Montgomery family had just been parading their hidden aristocratic status, acting like they were offering charity to the Lancaster heiress.

Talking about paving the way.

Talking about supporting her.

And now they were exposed: the project their Third Branch desperately wanted to advance was currently stalled on the Blackwood family's desk.

Yet moments ago, they had been trying to poach Nicholas's fiancée right in front of him.

The scene was beyond awkward.

They had practically offered up their own faces for the Blackwood family to slap.

Dominic desperately tried to salvage his pride, taking a deep breath. "Business is business. Don't you think using something like this to intimidate us is beneath you, Mr. Blackwood?"

Nicholas raised an eyebrow. "Intimidate you?"

He let out a soft laugh.

The smile was faint, but it sent chills down the spine.

"You misunderstand, Mr. Montgomery. I was simply reminding you."

"Your own path isn't even clear, yet you're in a rush to pave one for my fiancée."

"It's quite laughable."

Dominic's face looked as ugly as possible.

Nicholas's tone remained utterly relaxed. "Since the Montgomery family values its foundation so much, the Eastside Bio-Energy Project will be re-evaluated under our highest standards."

"Compliance, capital, offshore accounts, beneficiary structures—a full comprehensive audit. We'll discuss approval once it's completely clean."

Sebastian's pupils contracted violently.

A full comprehensive audit!

Those words essentially meant the Third Branch's Eastside project was completely dead in the water.
