The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1978

When Chatty woke up, the assistant brought in some dessert and coffee.

Clayton finished some of the more urgent matters and pushed the rest to the afternoon.

"Baby, you heard it just now. Tyler’s someone who would do anything for money. You can't go out in public during this time unless you bring enough bodyguards."

Nicole nodded. She did not like to risk her life.

"I know. I won't go anywhere in the near future except for the office and Ian's wedding."

Ian's wedding was a must.

Clayton nodded.

He hesitated for a moment before he said,' Did Eric approach you recently?"

Nicole shook her head calmly.

"No, but I don’t know if he approached my brother. What's wrong?"

Clayton paused, and he looked serious.

"It's nothing. Mr. Ferguson's family is in Tyler’s hands. I’m just afraid that he’ll do something in a moment of impulse.”

Nicole frowned slightly.

"Aren't Ingrid and Quinn with Falcon?"

Clayton was silent for a few seconds.

"I’m not sure. Falcon is also looking for them."

Nicole paused.

She did not know whether Quinn and Ingrid would encounter any danger in such a dangerous place.

Nicole did not wish for anything to happen to them.

It was just that she could not be of any help in this matter.

"Is Tyler going to such great lengths just to get that military base?"

Nicole asked.

Clayton pursed his lips and looked at her.

"Tyler is a strange man. He makes dirty money, but he wants to launder his money. He has been restless after annexing Caleb's forces in Southeast Asia. He has a lot of illegal money abroad, but he can’t launder it all. All he can do is expand his power slowly so that he can have more opportunities for money laundering. But the bigger the power and the more money he has, the more difficult it will be to launder money, so he's setting his sights on my military base. That’s just the first step. Moreover, he’s well-known in South Africa and has close contact with some terrorists. All he wants most are weapons and money. My research base in South Africa was originally just a middleman, but it exp>h%;WIR;ed over the years. So, he targeted it."

Clayton shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

Clayton was an investor. It was just a whim when he invested in weapons back then, and he was not interested in dragging himself through the mud.

However, now that it was getting bigger and bigger, it was difficult for him to withdraw from it.

"That's why I knew that it was a good opportunity when Mediania came up with the military project. As long as Medianian forces are involved, I can slowly get out of their battle. That's because any terrorist organization is afraid of international regulated armed forces, especially the Medianian army. So, when the Medianian government is done with their inspection, I'm willing to surrender the base if they ask me to. At least, it won't fall into the hands of others. That'll be real trouble."

Clayton said everything that he kept in his heart.

In fact, nothing more than that, this military base in Clayton's hands was like a hot potato.

But if the Medianian army got involved, it would become high in demand.

Then, they did not have to worry about Tyler and the other forces.

Nicole pondered for a while and laughed.

"So that's what's going on... You already planned it in advance? You must be one of the reasons why Stanton Corporation got this project. But you're right. It is really troublesome."

Clayton raised his eyebrows and looked at the time. It was time for Chatty to drink some milk.

He turned around to get the warm water and said, "Well, I'm not the only reason that Stanton Corporation got the project. Grant is also confident about it. I only mentioned to them to weigh their options between the military research base and Mr. Ferguson's reputation. As for what they decide in the end, it still depends on the higher-ups."

The corners of Nicole's mouth twitched.

How would they choose?

Heh...

How cunning!
