The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 38
The girls looked at Ingrid’s grim face and quieted down.
The second floor of the banquet hall was relatively quiet. When Grant brought Nicole upstairs, an unruly-
looking young man in an expensive black shirt stood up.
The two men shook hands briefly. Grant smiled and said, “Mr. Lichman, it’s been a while.“
Gerard Lichman laughed. The corners of his lips hooked up charmingly. “Hello, Mr. Stanton.“
Without waiting for Grant’s introduction, Gerard had already moved his gaze onto Nicole. It was an
appreciative glance with a decent sense of proportion that was not offensive.
“Ms. Nicole, you’re not only beautiful but also capable. I hope that you won’t mind that I put off our dinner
and invited you to this banquet instead.“
Nicole smiled, “Of course not. Congratulations on J& L’s 5th anniversary. I hope we’ll be able to work
together happily in the years to come.“
She made a double entendre.
Gerard smiled. “Mr. Stanton, may I talk to Ms. Nicole privately? After all, if there’s a chance for
cooperation, the person we’ll be liaising with is Ms. Nicole.“
“Sure.“ Grant was not surprised by this request and gave Nicole a reassuring glance. He then turned
around and went downstairs to network with others.
Gerard and Nicole stood facing each other in front of the railing on the second floor under the ambient
light. The handsome man and beautiful woman talked eloquently and calmly.
“Ms. Nicole, I’d like to know why you’re so confident about this cooperation.“
Gerard held a glass of wine and casually shook the burgundy liquid in the glass.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. A strand of wavy hair fell across her forehead and around her ear. The look
in her eyes was very alluring.
“Mr. Lichman, the conditions I gave are very sincere. I believe that you’re also aware of it. Compared to
so many other investors, there’s no one else more suitable than Stanton Corporation. To put it bluntly,
you have the technology, and I have the money.
Stanton Corporation won’t expect J&L to be profitable in five years. Instead, we’re looking at long-term
cooperation. I believe that in the next ten
years, we will be the ones to determine the level of AI development in this world.“
Those that could pay more than Stanton Corporation could not provide more benefits than Nicole, while
those that could provide more benefits did not have the capital.
Gerard was not just a businessman. He was also an engineer, so he wanted to find the most suitable
business partner for his brainchild.
Nicole’s bold words made Gerard re-examine the woman in front of him with less playfulness and more
solemnity.
Gerard bowed his head and pondered. “Vice President Nicole, do you mind participating in a three-way
partnership with another company?“
