The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1257

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."

Old 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, i t 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.

"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 t o 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 admit defeat just like that?

Then, all her efforts would just be in vain.
