Chapter 1831

Protect Him

Even without Eric, there were ways for Grant to get to know Mr. Jensen.

The two companies competed for this project, and it was still not known who would be the winner.

They separated business and personal affairs clearly.

Eric was very determined to win this project. When he entered the door, some o f the people who were
thinking about the project had already surrendered.

However, Grant would not.

Stanton Corporation would not lose to Ferguson Corporation in terms of strength and reputation.

Grant stood up, glanced at Clayton, nodded, and then followed Eric to leave.

He only said this to ease the tension between Clayton and Eric. to go directly to Nicole. He wanted to
ask Nicole if she had seen Eric, but how could he ask her about it? Clayton felt a little apprehensive.

Did Nicole not remember Eric? Then if Clayton asked her about it, she would definitely pursue it further.
How should he reply then? For the first time, Clayton felt that a question could be so tricky.

After hesitating for a while, Clayton let it slide. It was not worth mentioning after all.

If Nicole remembered Eric but not himself, Clayton would really go crazy with jealousy Clayton did not
even notice the people in front of him who were trying to talk to him. Someone called out “Mr. Sloan”
several times before Clayton finally reacted. He then smiled apologetically. The other party smiled
meaningfully.



“Mr. Sloan, you were so deep in thought. I s it because you’re thinking about some big money-making
project?” Clayton looked at the person for a while before he recognized this man to be Samuel
Lindstrom from Baltic City.

Clayton only recognized Samuel because Samuel’s wife, Lumi Makinen, had been i n frequent contact
with Nicole during this period of time. Sometimes when they were on a video call, Nicole would ask
Clayton to come over and say hello. Occasionally, he would also see Samuel beside Lumi.

In Baltic City, the strength of the Lindstrom family could not be underestimated Clayton just heard Grant
saying that the Lindstroms were interested in that military project, so it was not difficult to guess the
reason why Samuel was here.

He smiled warmly and stroked his brow, looking slightly apologetic. “I was thinking about something
else. I’m sorry you had to see that, Mr. Lindstrom.” Samuel Lindstrom had very devilish features and a
pair of charming eyes that could hook someone’s soul. Back then, he was also the subject of scandals,
but those scandals disappeared after he got married.

He was very capable and took control of the Lindstrom family at a young age. He was also one of the
top figures in Baltic City.

Clayton was only familiar with Samuel because of Nicole. Samuel smiled, gently clinked the glass in his
hand with Clayton’s, then took a sip of wine.

“Everyone else is fighting for the project, but you’re here zoning out all alone. You look like you’re
winning, so I came over t o ask for advice. You won’t blame me for being presumptuous, right?”
Clayton raised his eyebrows. “Why would I?” Samuel sat on the side and glanced at Clayton “My wife,
Lumi Makinen, previously followed you to invest in a project. Although it’s not much money, she’s very
passionate about it. But I think that the prospect of this project is just average. I really can’t figure out



why you’re so optimistic about shared education.” Samuel looked like he was modestly asking for
advice, but Clayton could feel a slightly oppressive vibe from him.
