Nicole snickered from the side and thought, ‘What a great show today! Simply wonderful!’Only, she was not in the mood to watch this performance any longer.It was a waste of time to continue watching another second of it.Nicole looked at Yvette and said, “Let’s go somewhere else. Seeing these irritating fools really affects my mood.”The only person she did not want to see was Eric Ferguson.Yvette knew what Nicole was thinking. She was originally regretting her decision of bringing Nicole here, but as soon as she heard Nicole’s proposal, she immediately nodded her head in agreement.Nicole took her purse, turned on her heels, and strutted out of the venue.She did not care about all those prying eyes who were watching the drama.‘They can just keep watching Eric’s performance!’ Nicole thought.Yvette went to get the car while Nicole waited at the entrance.Nicole was looking down at her toes. The night breeze was slightly chilly.Suddenly, she heard the familiar sound of
Early the next morning.Ferguson Corporation.Eric Ferguson came out of the conference room after a morning meeting.He suddenly remembered something, turned around, and instructed his assistant Mitchell, “Immediately terminate any cooperation with Anson’s company and acquire their company at a low price, then get him to leave Atlanta.”Mitchell paused for a moment and did not understand where Eric’s sudden idea came from. He looked at his boss with a complicated gaze and reported truthfully, “President, Anson’s family went bankrupt early this morning. They’re millions of dollars in debt and fled the country in a hurry. Even their residence has been sealed…”‘I’m afraid it’s no longer possible to acquire Anson’s company…’ Mitchell thought.Eric frowned tightly. His expression was cold and solemn.Without much thought, he knew that it must be Nicole’s doing.‘She acted fast…’ Eric thought of what she said last night and felt extremely uncomfortable.He tried to suppress the str
Nicole’s eyes flickered, then she shook her head with a smile.‘Hell no! Turn over the page? Dream on! These people are really more naive than one another!’ Nicole thought.Keith’s smile faltered. It meant that he only came here to make a fool of himself.He left the office feeling disappointed while Nicole spoke indifferently.“Mr. Ludwig, it’s good enough that I didn’t take the initiative to find fault with you guys. Next time, don’t come looking for your own discomfort.”Keith paused in his footsteps. An idea suddenly flashed in his heart, so he turned back to look at her with shining eyes.“Nicole, do you still like Eric?”‘If she still likes him, then the chances of them being together now is definitely much higher than three years ago! They both have the same status and are a perfect match!’Nicole’s face turned even colder when she heard this. “Do you want to die?”It was a barefaced threat.Keith shrank his neck, smiled awkwardly, and ran away as fast as he could.Th
Ines Xavier had just returned to Mediania and came over to join the fun.She did not expect to see Eric Ferguson here, so she could not care less about anything and wanted to approach him.Three years ago, Nicole robbed Ines of her chance, so three years later, Ines vowed not to give up!Eric did not say anything. His face was a little cold, and the disgust in his eyes was obvious.If Mitchell, who was sitting next to Eric, still could not see Eric’s displeasure, then it would be a waste of all those years of working for Eric.At this moment, Mitchell hastily proposed. “President, why don’t we change seats?”Eric stood up without saying a word, so Mitchell quickly moved to the side and sat on Mitchell’s original seat.Mitchell tried his best to ignore the indignant piercing gaze from Ines, who was now next to him.Nicole’s phone beeped. It was a message from Julie Nixon.[That lady sitting next to Eric is Ines Xavier from Gemini Entertainment, right?]Nicole saw the name and
The venue was silent.To everyone’s disappointment, Eric Ferguson faintly withdrew his gaze and did not continue bidding.‘If she likes it that much, I’ll give it to her.’ Eric thought.“$2 million sold!” The sound of the hammer finalized the bidding war.The crowd was a little shocked. ‘Mr. Ferguson conceded?’The show that they were expecting was not that exciting after all.Nicole coldly snorted and thought, ‘This doesn’t even cost that much. Eric Ferguson raised the bid for no reason just so that I’ll spend an extra million. He did this on purpose, right?’She stood up and went to make the payment.Fabian followed by her side.None of them noticed that they were being followed.Nicole looked at the pair of cufflinks and handed them to Fabian personally.“It’s for you.”Fabian froze and widened his eyes in shock.“For me?”‘It’s worth two million dollars, yet Nicole just gave them to me?’Nicole nodded and smiled. “Thanks for accompanying me to the auction. It’s a l
When Eric Ferguson heard what Nicole said earlier that only Fabian was worthy of those cufflinks, he got so angry that he turned around and left without a word.He never would have thought that it was such a coincidence to see Nicole surrounded by people amidst an argument.When he walked over, a glass of juice was splashed on him.He became collateral damage.At this moment, everyone, except Nicole, looked at Ines like she was doomed.Ines was stunned and her lips twitched. “Eric… A-Are you okay?”Eric’s gaze was cold and dark. His voice was extremely cold.“I’m not familiar with you. Please call me Mr. Ferguson.”After that, he just gently swept a glance at Nicole, who looked unconcerned, then turned around and left.No one ever dared to make Eric look so wretched since he was born.Mitchell hurriedly caught up to his boss.Ines had just told everyone that she was on good terms with Eric Ferguson and that their families would most likely have a marriage alliance.In the b
Ines did not give up and wanted to continue saying something.However, Nicole’s phone rang at that moment.Her ringtone cut through their laughable atmosphere.Having no choice, Nicole answered it and walked out.It was Kai.“I heard that a fugitive is on the loose nearby, so just stay where you are. I’ll get someone to pick you up.”Nicole smiled and said, “It’s fine, I can go by myself.”She ignored the two people and walked past them.“Nicole…” Eric called her name.Before Nicole could react, Eric chased after her. “I’ll send you home.”Nicole raised her eyebrows and laughed lightly. She felt amazed by his boldness. ‘When are we ever on good terms with each other? He must be on drugs… I don’t need his help!’“Don’t get me wrong. I heard that a fugitive is lurking around here, so it’s not safe. If something happens to you, I’ll probably get scolded by the netizens again.”‘That ferocious fugitive even robbed and raped a lot of ladies before…’ Eric thought.Eric’s tone
Eric Ferguson grabbed Nicole’s blood-stained arm and asked in a low, hoarse voice.Nicole quickly broke away from his grip and was silent for a moment.“No, it’s not mine.”After that, she got into her car and started the engine.Since they had already called the police, the police could deal with the follow-up.Nicole would much rather go home to sleep than stay here and look at Eric Ferguson for another second!Eric’s dark eyes swept over her. His face became tense when he sensed her detached coldness.Mitchell tied up the fugitive and hurriedly ran over.“Ms. Stanton, should we send you to the hospital for a checkup?”Nicole looked at him and smiled. “No thanks.”She had always been polite to Mitchell because he was the only person who treated her with kindness without the slightest contempt in those three years.No matter how lowly she was to others, Mitchell always treated her as the rightful Mrs. Ferguson.This was the only kindness that was shown to her in the past t
