Her father had told her that as long as she got this ignorant girl who did not know anything to let slip
words of attractive-sounding profit, then she could convince the Riddle family to work with the
McCarthy family.
However, Nicole could not even be bothered to play messenger as she simply just rejected her.
Joyce could not help but panic. “You’re declining to cooperate with us without even passing on the
message? Do you have any idea how big the profits will be if we cooperate? It’ll be billions!”
Nicole frowned and did not expect it to be such a huge project.
So, it seems like the McCarthy family cannot shoulder this alone, so that’s why they are looking to
cooperate with the Riddle Corporation.”
When Nicole thought of this, her smirk got even colder. “Ah, now I get it. However… this is simply
because the McCarthy Corporation cannot shoulder such a huge project alone, but our Riddle
Corporation is different. We can take on this project by ourselves. So why do we need to cooperate
with you again?”
Joyce was stunned. “W-What did you say?”
This girl looks like she’s barely even twenty. How is she so shrewd?’
“You’ve heard what I said. We, Riddle Corporation, will not work with the McCarthy Corporation. If we
want to, we can take on this project alone.” Nicole’s presence was so domineering, and her pride
towered over everything.
Joyce was completely flabbergasted. She did not expect to be crushed by a high schooler like this!
She gritted her teeth and hissed, “You really think the Riddle Corporation is capable of taking on this
project alone? You overestimate yourself!”
Even the McCarthy family dared not make such claims. She really doesn’t know anything at all.’
“Whether we can take on the project or not is none of your concern. As long as we have enough cash,
any project is within our reach.”
Nicole smirked coldly. ‘If I’m not short of money, then the Riddle family is not short of money.
Seeing Nicole being so confident, Joyce was at a loss of words for a good while.
“Nothing else? I’ll be heading off then.” As she said that, Nicole took out a few bags from the car. She
turned around and walked into the school with swagger.
Joyce glared at Nicole as she felt only humiliation
As a daughter of the McCarthy family. I’ve never been treated like this before! This girl, who gave her
that confidence?
Joyce was miffed, but she was even more worried.
‘If the Riddle family does not work with us, that means that our family will not be able to secure this
project, and when the time comes, it means a breakdown in cash flow…’
Gritting her teeth, Joyce thought of Martin. It looked like the only person she could seek help from was
Martin
When Nicole got back to her room, she noticed that Lulu was not back yet, but June was around.
She saw that June was watching something on the phone with a silly lovestruck look on her face, not
even noticing Nicole when she came in.
Nicole could not help but let out a cough. “Ahem!”
June immediately sprang up. “N-Nicole!”
When she got up, she did not forget to hide the phone, looking all suspicious, but her cheeks were
flushed red.
Nicole raised her eyebrow and had an idea what was going on. She smirked playfully and said, “What
are you doing?”
“N-Nothing.” June looked away nervously.
She dared not tell Nicole that she was watching a video of Samuel’s basketball match or that her heart
almost stopped beating when she saw Samuel’s smile.
“Let me have a look.” Nicole put down the shopping bags and grabbed June’s phone. Sure enough, the
video of Samuel’s basketball match was on the screen.
Nicole could not help but snort. “So, you’re being all lovestruck with my brother.”
She had long guessed that June liked Samuel. However, she just did not expect that June, the literal
study freak during the weekdays, would be so lovestruck at Samuel’s video during the weekends.
