Author: I Wanna Eat Meat
Eric smiled when he saw that Nicole was staring at the gun in her hand.

“You like it?”

Nicole paused for a moment and gave it back to him.

“A fake can also scare people?”

The smile in Eric’s eyes deepened. He put it away and said, “I have the real one with me. If you shoot, I’ll follow up for you, so you don’t have to be afraid.”

This way, he would take all responsibility, so she did not have to be afraid of anything.

Eric simply wanted Nicole to do whatever she wanted.

Nicole was stunned. Her heart trembled slightly as she looked at him sideways.

“Why did you come?”

Eric’s smile faded slightly. “I told you that these are deep and dangerous waters, so how can I be assured that you’re here alone?”

His voice was low and raspy as it echoed in the car.

Nicole curled the corners of her lips. “Thank you, but aren’t you afraid that I’ll take the lead and come by to talk to Mr. Lewis about this project?”

Eric’s eyes faintly flickered. He suddenly looked at Nicole.

    Logan knew what Nicole meant and nodded solemnly. “Understood. The situation earlier was too thrilling. Do you want to take a rest first? Or, do you want to go back to the office first? I can take care of the things here.”Nicole immediately refused. “No, I’m staying here. You should get Jacob Cook to handle things properly.”Logan knew of Nicole’s temper. Earlier when faced with such a dangerous situation, Nicole did not even frown, so she certainly would not run at this time.Thinking of this, Logan nodded and left. He then arranged for more people to covertly protect Nicole.Jacob was only given four hours and dared not dare to delay for a moment. He led some staff along with the third-party agency to the relevant departments to check the accounts.Once the accounts were almost sorted out, they were all alarmed to see those deficits.Thus, Jacob did not hesitate to call Nicole and report this situation.Nicole was drinking lemonade and doing yoga on the balcony. When she pick

    From the moment Eric entered the kitchen, Nicole was prepared for the worst.She thought that the worst that could happen would be tasting horrible food.However, the result was somewhat unexpected. Eric did not even make anything. Instead, he blew up the kitchen!The smoke rolled out and triggered the fire alarm.Eric did not look the slightest bit wretched. Even in this messy situation, he still looked noble and above everyone.However, his complexion was glum.He felt frustrated and angry for losing his reputation.Eric pursed his lips. The tip of his tongue was pressed against the roof of his mouth. His brows were cold and stiff as he grunted. His voice was slightly muffled from having inhaled some smoke.“There’s a problem with the tools.”After that, he pulled Nicole outside because the kitchen was nasty.Although nothing caught on fire and the smoke was caused by the oven burning, it reached a certain temperature and automatically short-circuited.The smoke triggered

    Eric was just about to find a laptop to plug in the flash drive when Nicole’s warm hand reached over and took it away.“Mr. Ferguson, this is mine.”Eric raised his eyebrows. “I was just wondering why your person gave this to me.”Nicole laughed and did not say anything.Of course, it was only because Xandria wanted to offer everything to Eric.“She’s blind. It won’t happen again.”Before Eric could ponder about what was wrong with Nicole’s tone, he watched as Nicole took out her phone.She called Logan directly.“Tell the HR department to fire Xandria now.”Logan did not ask any questions and dared not delay for a moment. He immediately did as he was told.From the beginning, Logan had a feeling that Xandria could not stay too long in Stanton Corporation.Xandria just walked out of the hotel lobby when she received a notice that she was dismissed and that she did not need to go back to the office again. Her name was completely removed from the company’s system.She panicke

    Eric sat there feeling relaxed. His posture was somewhat carefree. “What do you plan to do next? When will you go back?”Nicole smiled meaningfully. “Soon. If it goes well, I can go back tomorrow morning.”If everything went smoothly, Hector Leach and Lincoln Zelman would be arrested. Then, she could return to her office and get Jacob Cook to stay back to handle the acquisition.Eric thought that he had talked some sense into her. His face turned gentle.“Don’t worry. It’s good that you’ve made it this far for your first try.”Next, it was time for him to deal with Mr. Lewis.Eric was not bothered to negotiate with Lincoln Zelman.To test Lincoln Zelman’s bottom line, they must exert pressure on him. This pressure must come from Mr. Lewis.The best way to deal with a rogue was to be more roguish than him.Eric was unlikely to pay Lincoln Zelman a lump sum. He wanted to change the situation drastically and had already arranged for everything.At this thought, Eric’s phone sudd

    Nicole cheerfully finished her meal. When she saw Eric’s inability to eat, she was in a better mood.She took several millions of compensation money from him, so this meal was well worth it.Nicole was in a state of exaltation!Back at the hotel, Nicole started to pack her suitcase.She explained the rest of the matters to Jacob Cook and got on the plane home the next day.Everything was smooth sailing with Jacob probably because they had specially informed Mr. Lewis to help out when needed. After Lincoln Zelman was arrested, Zico Company’s affairs were officially handed over to the investigation team. As soon as the accounts were released, they started talking about the acquisition.Lincoln Zelman did not last very long and admitted everything after a few days of interrogation because the evidence was too overwhelming.Nicole purposely gave herself two days off, leaving all the company’s affairs to Grant.She made an appointment for a beauty treatment with Yvette. The two of t

    Nicole frowned and agreed to go home.After parting with Yvette, she went straight to the Stanton Mansion.Clayton was in the living room with Kai and Floyd. Floyd had always appreciated Clayton’s gentle and modest nature that was not arrogant. His reserve and calmness made him seem very reliable.As soon as Nicole went into the house, she saw Lil Michael dragging his small suitcase and coming down the stairs reluctantly. His eyes were red.“Pretty Lady…” Lil Michael ran over aggrievedly and hugged Nicole.Nicole hugged him back and suddenly felt very sad.Lil Michael lived in the Stanton Mansion for so long that he had long been a part of their family.However, they were clear that Clayton’s feelings for Lil Michael were much more profound.Clayton stood up and smiled at Nicole.“The problems abroad held up many days of Michael’s schooling. I’ve enrolled him in school, which will start soon, so it can’t be delayed further.”Floyd sighed at the side. He was very reluctant.“

    Nicole turned around and went into the living room just as she saw Kai humming a tune and walking to the kitchen.That was strange.On normal days, Kai would not even step foot into the kitchen if Floyd did not force him to.What was wrong with him today?Floyd was sad for a while and sat in the living room, watching TV. He was recently into a period drama.Nicole was just about to join her father when she heard someone coming down the stairs.Maverick was walking down the steps as he sighed inexplicably.‘Mav is home?!’“Mav, did you come home alone? Molly didn’t come back with you?”Maverick’s face stiffened. This was obviously poking his sore spot.Floyd lifted his eyelids and did not want to speak.Maverick touched his nose. His elegant face had a hint of embarrassment.“I’m going back to the research institute tomorrow because it’s about time to get back to work. Molly’s staying at home for a while longer.”Nicole nodded and watched as Maverick walked toward the kitch

    Eric was afraid that others might not know that the picture was meant for Nicole.Nicole was speechless and cursed him a million times in her heart. ‘This son of a b*tch is crazy! Can’t he just focus on being a good boss? What’s the point of him always thinking about conquering the kitchen? Also, why does he have to involve me and drag me into his sh*t from time to time?! What the hell!’There were all sorts of praises below Eric’s post.[Mr. Ferguson, the desserts you made look amazing!][That’s awesome! How blessed would it be to try Mr. Ferguson’s cooking?][Sincerity is the key to success!]......Nicole grunted. ‘Haha! If I give them this “blessing”, will they dare to take it?’After a while, Keith finally could not help but ask what was on everyone’s mind. [Honestly, did you really make these with your own hands?!]At least there were still people who were not willing to blatantly lie.Not long after, Eric finally replied.[No, but I tasted them myself.]The answer

If you don’t want this, we can go to my place, and I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”Chatty nodded.Fischer let down his hand and naturally held Chatty’s hand.

    After Chatty left, Clayton sighed miserably for several days, and Nicole was speechless when she saw this.Life in school was not so boring.Although Chatty had been spoiled since childhood, she was not arrogant or insufferable.Chatty was bubbly, outgoing, and clever, so she was very popular.From time to time, she invited everyone to party in her big villa. Thus, everyone loved her even more.Chatty also enjoyed her time alone.She would go for a walk along the Seine and feed the pigeons in the sunset...However, she always felt that someone was watching her whenever she was alone.Even so, she did not think much about it.

    Clayton talked to Chatty about studying abroad.Chatty agreed without hesitation.He asked her where she wanted to go, to which she replied that she was fine with anywhere except France.Clayton pondered for a while before asking, “Are you reluctant about France because of Fischer?”Chatty’s eyes turned red.“I don’t remember him at all. Daddy, don’t mention him!”She felt aggrieved.Chatty grew up with him, and he suddenly disappeared one day.It felt like a dream.That person was no longer behind her. Fischer was no longer around.Chatty missed him very much, but Fischer did not even say goodbye.Clayton touched her head and looked at his daughter in distress.“Chatty, now that you’ve grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave. He also couldn’t contact you, so if you see him in the future, don’t blame him.”Chatty stubbornly turned her head away, pretending not to care.She was the apple of Clayton’s eye, so when had she ever suffered any grievanc

She thought that her daughter should enjoy the feeling of sweet and youthful love.Thus, Nicole asked Chatty about her feelings and did not think she was too serious in a relationship.Nicole felt that she could turn a blind eye to it.However, when Clayton found out, he could not sleep all night.Clayton intended to have a good talk with his daughter.Chatty did not think much of it.“Everyone in my class has a boyfriend. If I didn’t have one, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while I’m young. Otherwise, it won’t be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isn’t perfect!”Clayton tried to persuade her. “You’re still young. If you see the world, you’ll know that men aren’t great.”“Then is Mommy blind since she’s with y

    Jade was silent for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips.“I don’t care what method you use. You must get your parents to see Selena. Otherwise, I will make your parents drink this bottle of potassium cyanide.”Jennifer raised her head abruptly. Her face was extremely pale.“Okay.”She spoke in a low voice.The uneasiness and fear in her eyes could not be concealed.......A few days later, the opportunity came.Eric specially brought Selena to attend a charity auction to relax her mind.Moreover, he also bought a lot of jewelry and antiques.

    When Selena talked about Nicole and Eric, she had a smile on her face, and there was no concern or disgust in her eyes.It was probably because Selena felt that Eric had left his past behind.Eric would never approach Nicole again, and they each had their own lives.Nicole smiled. The gemstone bracelet in the box was shiny and beautiful. It was extravagant with each carefully crafted gemstone. There was a kind of wild and exquisite beauty to it.Nicole shook her head and could not help but laugh.“I liked collecting these a few years ago, but I’ve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!”Selena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicole’s past with Eric. They just laughed it off.Nicole wore the bracelet on her wrist. It was indeed very beautiful.Selena smiled and was very happy to see that Nicole liked it.“The past is in the past. Let’s forgive each other, okay?”Nicole nodded with sore eyes.“It’s a pity I didn’t prepare

    Jade’s rudeness made Floyd’s face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.“The shares of Stanton Corporation belong to the Stanton family. Back then, Uncle Noah signed his shares over to the company so that he would only enjoy the dividends. Now that he has left the company, he will not be able to enjoy the dividends. Aunt Jade, your plan has failed. These shares aren’t part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.”Jade’s complexion was dull.“Then what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I don’t care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I won’t rest!”Jade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floyd’s face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.“You should go back and wait for the police and the company’s notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase

    Jade’s face turned pale.“You should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.”Nicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.“Aunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. We’re here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!”Jade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.“Then… What did you discuss?”Clayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.“Actually, we have consulted a lawyer. The worst-case scenario is the death penalty. After all, he killed two people. But there is a way. Uncle Noah was married to you back then, right? As long as you come forward to testify that Uncle Noah has been with you all the time, so he didn’t have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!”Jade’s face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.“You… You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!”Nicole sneered
