Nicole would not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but they needed to leave evidence in case those greedy people made another demand.
Logan looked at Nicole with admiration and nodded.
Such a complicated and difficult situation was actually solved by Nicole through coaxing and threats.
Nicole was really worthy of being a CEO.
She went to the office to take a break and breathed a sigh of relief.
Half an hour later.
Jacob climbed upstairs, panting.
"Ms. Stanton, everyone dispersed..."
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Is that so? How's the response?"
Jacob wanted to give Nicole a pat on the back for being so brilliant.
"Half of the people took the money and left. There are still five or six who want to work, so I took down their information. The rest scattered..."
Nicole smiled and rubbed the rim of the cup.
Those that did not take the money were probably afraid that they would be pursued after taking the
money.
It was good that they were cautious and family-oriented.
"That leader has been dealt with?"
Jacob nodded. "The police took him away. Someone said that he's Lincoln Zelman's brother-in-law, so I reckon that Lincoln has something to do with this fuss."
Nicole pursed her lips. "We must be careful. Nothing can go wrong before the unveiling of the project."
Jacob knew the stakes. After hearing Nicole's command, he made sure to be doubly careful.
"Ms. Stanton, Hector Leach admitted to falsifying the accounts and that it was all directed by Lincoln Zelman. With all the evidence, Lincoln Zelman had to admit his fault, but..."
Jacob hesitated for a while. "Lincoln set up a lot of traps in this project. He also doesn't admit to all those lives lost. His father-in-law and brother-in-law are handling the construction of the project. They didn’t change a contractor even after mishaps. When someone dies on site, they just stop work and pay compensation. Previously, when we wanted to get a new contractor, his father-in-law and brother-in-law interfered, so no one in Sand City dared not bid for the project.”
