Nicole was silent for a while. She looked out the window where the sun was shining and felt her heart calming down.
Luke Youngblood, who was sitting opposite her, refused to relent. He was certain that his popular startup was a hotcake that everyone would want.
The highest bidder would get it.
Of course, Luke would choose the one that was most beneficial to him.
Nicole wanted to drink the coffee in front of her but held back in the next second.
She looked through the window at the workstations outside. The people outside were not like they were when Nicole first came in. They were not calm and composed. Instead, they had gathered together in discussion and looked very enthusiastic as they stared in the direction of Luke's office.
Nicole was momentarily in deep thought.
Suddenly, Nicole turned her head to look at Luke.
"Mr. Youngblood, are you really sure that you will succeed when this project goes to market?”
Luke froze.
Nicole smiled and looked down. She pondered for a moment before speaking.
"As far as I know, this project has already been registered. Even though you’re smart enough to release it online first to get an advantage, you won’t be able to pass the relevant department's audit. There are many troublesome procedures and even lawsuits that'll be filed down the road, and these situations won’t be favorable for you."
Luke's face changed. His gaze flickered slightly.
No one noticed this, and only Nicole did, which indicated that Stanton Corporation's vetting procedures were more standardized and strict than others.
Usually, they would only solve this kind of problem after getting the investment when the problem arises.
That was because most investors would only see the immediate benefits and rarely thought about the long run.
However, Nicole was surprisingly different.
Luke had underestimated her.
Luke pursed his lips and pondered. "I believe that this matter will be solved. I'll hire a lawyer to handle it."
He had planned to wait for the investors to give him the money, hire the best lawyer to fight for the lawsuit, or pay a settlement with the other party. This was simply not worth mentioning compared to the whole project.
