Chapter 1780 Desire for Nothing
Nicole was silent for a while. She looked out the window where the sun was shining and felt her heart calming down.
88 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. 83_o 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, Nicole turned her head to look a t 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.
28 “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. E Usually, they would only solve this kind o f 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 investorst o 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 t o the
whole project. Nicole smiled. Her gaze flickered. “You can’t solve it, Mr. Youngblood.
To tell you the truth, Stanton Corporation started the series of procedures for this project two years ago. 1) Luke
looked shaken, and his face was slightly pale. “Stanton Corporation…” B Luke had thought that this project could
fetch such a high price because of its unlimited prospects. Besides Stanton Corporation, other investors also gave
them a great offer, but they requested even more shares.
Some even asked for 80 %. He was leaning toward Stanton Corporation because they offered a one- time payment
of $200 million. It was not a payment done in phases. However, Stanton Corporation asked for 51% of the shares.
This requirement was not excessive in the market. On the contrary, he picked up a bargain. However, Luke had
confidence in his project.
Since the other party was Stanton Corporation, he felt that he could still ask for more and get better terms. *

not refuse t o meet other investors because he wanted to create a false impression to Stanton Corporation that he
would sign with others at any time.
Soon, Logan, Nicole’s assistant, personally reached out to Luke to call for a n appointment. Luke then thought that
his purpose would soon be achieved. ام حممامم Nicole was in a rush. Indeed, she could not wait. However, the news
she brought made him choke. Luke’s voice was cold and harsh.”
Ms. Stanton, are you kidding me?” He was the first to launch this project, so he did not even bother to investigate
which company was behind the formalities. If it was anyone else, Luke would have the confidence to defeat them. 8
Coincidentally, the other party was Stanton Corporation. Nicole smiled very gently without any coldness. “Do you
think that I’d joke with you?” 3
