The atmosphere in the office became heavy all of a sudden.
Gerard Lichman looked at Nicole and saw that she did not seem to be joking. He suddenly felt that he had gone too far.
This would not just drag down Clayton Sloan but also his main partner, Stanton Corporation.
Nicole would not be unmoved if it involved the interests of her company.
However, if Gerard betrayed Eric, it would not just impact their personal relationship. It might even end their three-way cooperation.
During Gerard's moment of hesitation, Nicole narrowed her eyes and seemingly realized something.
"Who is it?"
Gerard’s thin lips were tightly pursed, and his face looked taut.
"No one... This was my poorly thought-out decision... I'll have everyone cancel their leave and come back immediately."
"Mr. Lichman, I'm afraid this matter won't be so simple."
Nicole looked at him with a solemn gaze. "I'll have my legal team draw up a contract that will put a limit to the research period. I will also send a team to regularly check on the R&D results. If this can't be done, then we can always end our cooperation. After all, J&L Corporation still isn't Stanton Corporation's only choice.
Gerard's eyes darkened slightly. He looked calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was regretting his move.
The way Nicole had turned her back on him was really unexpected.
He had been too carefree with Nicole.
With J&L Corporation's current size, there was no way they could pose any threat to Stanton Corporation, especially since Nicole’s brother Maverick was the Great God of Science.
This time, he was at fault, so Nicole certainly would not turn the page so easily.
According to her means toward Harrison Corporation, she was already considered extraordinarily generous for not doing the same to J&L Corporation.
Otherwise, if it really came to that, even Eric Ferguson would not be able to save him.
Gerard coughed and softened his attitude.
