Chapter 1781
As she entered the venue with Jared, it was only then did Nicole feel somewhat at ease.
Behind them, Samuel and Spencer had arrived at the venue too and they followed closely behind the couple.
After Nicole and Jared walked into the venue, they saw the luxurious venue.
For the launch of this manned flying car, the venue was set up using a particularly avant-garde technological concept.
In the center of the crowd, Terry was briefing everyone and testing the manned flying car's various functions and abilities. Many CEOs were gathered before the stage and they watched carefully with a look of awe in their eyes.
And Kelly was accompanying a CEO, whispering a few words with him from time to time.
Max walked up and whispered to Jared, "The man beside Kelly is the CEO of the biggest car manufacturer in Mercadia. n
Nicole could also see the embarrassment on Kelly's face, and it seemed like the latter had been asking her a lot of strange questions.
Nicole was just about to go over when suddenly, a figure unexpectedly walked over to Kelly's side first.
Jared and Nicole looked at each other and there was a hint of surprise in Nicole's eyes. She knew that Ike would definitely attend the launch press conference.
But at this moment, Ike was wearing the uniform of a Johnston Group staff!
Nicole raised her eyebrow and asked Jared, "When did you let him into the company?"
"Didn't we already agree to that at dinner last time? So, he got his team to join the company two days ago," Jared said somewhat nonchalantly.
Nicole frowned. "You don't suspect anything when he wanted to join this project so proactively?"
She knew Ike somewhat, and while he was a science maniac, for him to abandon his job at Mr. Harmon's side and to join Jared's project just like that... It felt... wrong.
Ike was a man of honor who would stand by his morals and principles. So it was extremely strange.
"I've investigated, and his team had a conflict with the two who were trying to make things difficult for you. Since his team was being stepped on, he chose to leave." Naturally, Jared was suspicious so he had this investigated first.
Nicole was silent. She too had left because of those two back then.
'So, it's not impossible for Ike either...'
Letting out a sigh, Nicole did not say anything else. "Got it, but be on guard."
Although Ike was not a bad person, she always felt uneasy for some reason.
"Don't worry. I know that. I won't allow him to touch any core tech for the time being."
Nicole nodded. It seemed like Jared knew what she was concerned about.
The two then looked at the rich businessman and seeing that Ike managed to answer his questions so quickly, the CEO's expression turned somewhat approving.
Jared could not help but laugh. "It looks like he still has some use."
Nicole's gaze was calculating. "Ike's capabilities aren't limited to this."
Those words caused Jared to feel a little jealous. "You seem to admire him."
Nicole sensed that this guy found an opportunity to be jealous, so she quickly added, "No, I never admired any other man. Don't twist my words."
Jared smiled and felt a little better.
The two of them originally thought that they did not need to go over to speak with the CEO over there.
