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. “
If Nicole was willing to get into a marriage of convenience, she would not have concealed her identity in the first place.What she wanted was never just a marriage.Old Master Ferguson snorted coldly, “Do you want to watch her get together with someone else? How big a loss would that be to our family?”There was no other person better suited for Nicole than Eric.No matter who Nicole chose to be with in the future, the Ferguson family would become a laughing stock.To the Fergusons, it was more harm than good.Although Old Master Ferguson did not like Nicole as a person, he was willing to disregard his past prejudices and accept this woman because of her powerful family that was a force to reckon with.When Eric heard this, his expression stiffened and became complicated.‘Watch her get together with someone else?’ Eric had never thought about that.Although there were many men around Nicole, he never felt that Nicole would marry any of them.‘What if Nicole married someone
Early in the morning, daylight spilled in through the curtains and cast a soft glow on the floor.Nicole ate a simple breakfast and went to the office. J&L Corporation’s project was already on track, so there was no need for daily progress checks.Nicole had to start preparing for another real estate development project.When she arrived at the office, she browsed the internet for the latest trending topics.The netizens were split into two camps. One camp was shipping Nicole and Kai, while the other camp supported Nicole and Fabian.It was surprising that people were so eager to participate in this poll. While a small number of people forcefully added Nicole and Eric to the poll, this pairing was lagging way behind the other two pairings.‘Haha! The netizens are perceptive enough to know that my name and Eric Ferguson’s name are incompatible and absolutely should not be put together!’Logan watched from the side and carefully proposed. “President, should we take down these tr
Nicole had a lot on her plate.The development of the real estate project was not going well. The developer changed their mind at the last minute about the price they originally negotiated for.The developer wanted to raise the price by 30% on top of the original price.Of course, Nicole would not agree to it.This project was a top priority in the real estate arm of Stanton Corporation, so it was of great importance.The people sent to negotiate terms with the developer returned without success because the developer was adamant.With the stalemate, Stanton Corporation incurred a daily loss of up to ten million dollars.Grant was abroad for an inspection, so this problem fell on Nicole.Looking at the records of their previous negotiations, Nicole felt that the developer’s attitude was somewhat surprising.What was the reason for their sudden assertiveness?Logan saw Nicole’s puzzled eyes and explained, “I’ve inquired about this. It seems that someone has contacted this devel
After a while, Nicole’s calm voice came through the phone, “Alright. Do something for me…”HS Corporation was not a large-scale company. Their most glorious time was in the past and they were now hanging by a thin thread.Even so, they still had a reputation and were still better off than other companies. Nicole did not expect that the person behind Tobias Stone was actually HS Corporation.It turned out that Eric Ferguson was also involved...In the evening, Julie invited Nicole to a high-society reception, so Nicole attended as promised.Nicole was not in a good mood today, so she just sat in front of the bar and drank quietly by herself.It was difficult for Nicole not to attract attention as she was so beautiful and striking with her long legs and slender waist.Every move she made felt like art. No one noticed that someone had secretly taken a photo of her and sent it to a particular person.When Eric looked at his phone, he frowned slightly.It was Keith calling.He
Nicole swept a glance at Luna and with extreme impatience. ‘How annoying!’“Luna, what are you two talking about?” A woman walked over from not far away. She was dressed in an extravagant gown and had a calm and elegant demeanor. She also had a professional fake smile plastered on her face. Nicole thought that she looked a bit familiar. ‘Is she an actress?’Nicole looked at her and frowned slightly.Luna grunted coldly and walked over to take the woman’s arm.She looked at Nicole with raised eyebrows and said in a smug tone, “Nicole, does she still need to be introduced? She’s the daughter of HS Corporation’s Chairman, the big movie star who won many film awards, Jenny Lynch!”‘Oh, I remember now. She’s that big-name celebrity who completely relies on reality shows and her persona to squeeze into the ranks of first-tier actresses, whose sh*tty acting skills are criticized... That Jenny Lynch?’However, Nicole was focused on her other identity. ‘Daughter of HS Corporation’s Chai
