For a moment, Mitchell felt as if an invisible hand was lifting him up from the back of his collar. That suffocating feeling was simply too alarming!“Hmm?” Eric saw that Mitchell did not speak, so his gaze became even colder and darker. “Don’t you guys have a good relationship? Tell me, what do you think?”Every word felt like a deadly threat.If Mitchell did not answer Eric, he would not be able to walk out of this office.Mitchell just felt like his life was in danger when he was at work…He coughed slightly to clear his throat and had no choice but to say something. “President, I don’t have a good relationship with Ms. Stanton, so how would I know the kind of person she likes?”Looking at Eric’s cold eyes, Mitchell immediately added, “But... I think that since Ms. Stanton gave up her status to marry you, the type she likes must be someone like you, Mr. Ferguson! That Fabian is nothing! How could Ms. Stanton lower her standards to like that guy?”Eric looked down and did
During the whole process, Gerard Lichman clearly introduced the role and significance of the artificial intelligence chip and even named it “Human*World”.The results of that project were enough to change the course of medical development. Of course, this was not only limited to Mediania. It would impact the whole world and was a major milestone of medicine!Nicole kept a faint smile throughout the press conference and was focused on Gerard’s speech. Her eyes shone brightly as she hid the great excitement and elation she felt.At this moment, she suddenly felt that those three years of marriage were a complete waste of life. ‘I should’ve just made money and focused on my career instead!’By the end of Gerard’s speech, the sound of applause and awe in the venue were incessant. Many experts and reporters went up to find more surprises...Gerard was helpless and extended the conference for another hour.Nicole saw that her part was done at the conference. At that moment, Logan sent
The atmosphere around the car was stagnant for a moment.Eric’s face was taut and extremely unsightly. He stared intently at Nicole while he tightly pursed his thin lips.There were no outsiders present, so Nicole was not even willing to pretend to be superficially peaceful with Eric.To Nicole, Eric Ferguson was never eligible for forgiveness.She treated others like Ian Carter, Kai, Maverick, Fabian, and even Mitchell ten thousand times better than him.Nicole sat there lazily as she waited for Eric to leave on his own accord.Not just anyone had the right to sit in her car.Eric Ferguson was even more unworthy!A full minute had passed, and Eric was still standing there unmoved.Nicole frowned at him. ‘Does he not understand English?!’ Just when Nicole was about to chase him away, Eric’s thin lips parted. His voice was clear and cold. “Nicole, are you sure that you don’t want to go to the place I’m going to?”‘Of course…’ Nicole thought.Before she could say anything, L
Nicole was just making a casual remark, but it set off a huge ripple in Eric’s heart.‘I’ve always been so cruel to the women who like me? I was cruel to Nicole, Wendy, and now Ines Xavier…’ Eric furrowed his brows, and a huge wave of emotion was hidden in his eyes.His lips were pressed into a straight line. Eric pondered for a moment and lowered his voice.“Nicole, you’re not like them.”At least, Nicole used to be his wife.Other women were nothing to him.Thus, he had nothing to worry about.Nicole lowered her head and laughed, then looked at him with a cold and detached gaze.“Yes, I’m not like them. At least I was once someone who managed to marry you because of my special blood type…”She laughed self-deprecatingly, glanced at him, then coldly looked away.Eric frowned slightly.He clearly did not mean it like that.“We’re here, President Nicole,” Logan said.Finally, Logan could breathe a sigh of relief.Logan felt that this journey was the most difficult car ride
Nicole was looking forward to that moment as she wanted to see what Ines Xavier’s reaction would be.“Nicole, don’t think that I’m afraid of you! You’re also relying on your family just like me, so what are you so proud of?”‘We’re the same kind of people, so why should Nicole act like she’s superior to me?!’Ines was getting more agitated and wanted to expose Nicole’s humiliation right in front of her face.She folded her arms and lifted her chin to mock Nicole.“Weren’t you kicked out even after marrying into the Ferguson family? Now, you just want to take advantage of your family’s power to get close to Eric just to get his attention, right? Is that what you want? Nicole, are you so cheap?”Ines thought that she must have removed Nicole’s disguise and wanted to see how Nicole could still pretend to be high and mighty.She waited for Nicole to become annoyed and angry.However, when Nicole heard this, she did not have the slightest bit of anger on her face.On the contrary,
Ines could not care less about anything.She went forward to tug on Gabriel Xavier’s arm. “Dad, why are you so afraid of her? That b*tch is a nobody!”Gabriel shook her off and thought about Nicole’s words, then yanked Ines back up again.His action was harsh.“Get this straight. Nicole is the successor of Stanton Corporation. She can make this company disappear with a snap of her finger, so you’d better behave yourself. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will throw you to Korea and won’t give you a penny! You can find a way to survive on your own!”Ines trembled in fear and looked terrified. ‘Nicole…’She felt a coldness in her heart that was eerily chilling.Inside the elevator.Nicole and Eric did not say a word until they reached the door of the conference room. Logan was standing there waiting for Nicole.Seeing the two of them approaching, Logan went forward and held the door open for them.Eric’s aura was always very strong, which made others fear and admire him. No
Nicole thought, ‘I deliberately hit his car?! I can't even believe what just happened! Where did he get the confidence? It’s obvious that he deliberately stepped on the emergency brakes out of the blue! But… I think I saw a little kid walking away slowly from the front of the Range Rover earlier… So… Oh well, since it already happened, I can’t possibly hide now, can I?’She lowered the car window, pursed her lips, and hooked the corners of her lips. “Yes, I hit you on purpose.”Her smile was icy cold and provoking. ‘So what if it’s intentional? It’s not like I can’t afford to pay for it!’Eric narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly.“So, what are you planning to do?” His voice was hoarse and indifferent.‘She did it on purpose? That’s surprising…’Nicole looked up with cold and indifferent eyes. “How much is it? I’ll compensate you.”In fact, if they were to further investigate this, Nicole did not have to take responsibility.However, since she had already admitted that she kn
“Satisfied now?” Nicole glanced at Eric and inadvertently saw the caller ID on his phone.She suddenly felt breathless as if she had been hit hard by something.A dense pain flooded her chest.Nicole immediately turned away, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove away without waiting for Eric to respond. She felt a little soreness in her eyes and forced out a cold laugh. ‘So, this is how he named me? Missus? I was his missus, but not anymore. I no longer fit this title.’Eric watched as Nicole’s car faded away and looked down at the caller ID. ‘Missus?’ Those memories from before their divorce felt like a dream, and they came flooding out at once.Eric felt a dull pain in his chest as if a hand was ruthlessly squeezing his heart, so much so that his breathing became a little heavier.He was to blame for losing Nicole, who used to love him so much.Now, he had to try and win her back slowly. It was simply retribution!His phone suddenly rang again.It was a call from Ingrid. “
