“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

Keith Ludwig snorted and thought, ‘Nicole’s really unaware of the impact she’s causing, huh?’After Nicole got a divorce, she really let loose.Before Nicole said anything else, Luna got agitated and stepped forward.She looked at Kai with righteous indignation and questioned him.“Kai, you should make it clear to everyone now. Did Nicole force you to do this? Did she threaten you? Is it because you’re-- her manstress and she’s been supporting you financially?”Luna said the word “manstress” with difficulty through gritted teeth.“Don’t worry, we won’t judge! Kai, as long as you admit it, we’ll all find a way to help you... We’ll definitely help you escape from Nicole’s claws!”Luna spoke as if Nicole was some sort of beast with giant claws.Kai’s back stiffened slightly. He sneered and suddenly stood up, then looked at Luna with a burning gaze.His tone was cold and unceremonious as he said, “Who the hell are you?! Are you sick in the head? If you are, go back home and take y

Luna was still overwhelmed by Kai’s sudden outburst and had not returned to her senses.Hearing Nicole’s words, she looked up, dumbfounded.Everyone was staring at her.The silence was intense and very strange.Even if she was slow-witted, she could realize that something was wrong.‘Jenny told me about their marriage alliance and even showed me a photo of her father and Mr. Ferguson together... Isn’t that solid evidence?’Luna looked to Jenny for help. “Jenny…”At this moment, Jenny looked at Eric Ferguson and saw that he did not have any intention to help her.Eric even let Nicole question her like this in front of so many people.This crowd was not the same as gossip columnists and needed not press for questions.Their silence was already humiliating enough.Jenny bit her lower lip and tried to make up an excuse to alleviate the awkwardness. “Perhaps... It’s a misunderstanding between the elders. It’s just a joke, so please don’t take it seriously, Ms. Stanton and Mr. Fer

Inside the car.Julie could not help but speak up. “Lil N, Eric Ferguson’s attitude seems a bit strange. Does he like you?”Nicole sneered and remembered what Eric said to Gerard Lichman back then.“How is that possible? Do you think that Jenny Lynch’s talk of a marriage alliance is groundless? If someone hadn’t mentioned it, how would she have the guts to present herself as Eric Ferguson’s fiancée?”Julie frowned. “Right… But... The Fergusons don’t need a marriage alliance with HS Corporation, right?”“Whatever…” Kai sneered.Kai sent Julie back and drove Nicole back to the Stanton mansion.The next morning, Nicole heard a noise downstairs before she got out of bed.She walked downstairs with squinted eyes and heard her father cursing at Kai with a resounding voice.“You’re the worst! Even Tigger is better than you! Look how you got your sister into trouble!”Nicole rubbed his eyes and arrived downstairs. “What’s wrong?”Mr. Anderson showed them the morning headlines.It w

Ferguson Corporation.Eric Ferguson looked at the latest gossip on the internet with furrowed brows.Even Mitchell did not expect this turn of events.This time, Eric should be happy because he had one less opponent, right?However, Mitchell did not see a hint of joy on Eric’s face. “Mr. Ferguson?”Eric’s face was sullen. ‘I should’ve thought of this… Kai didn’t have any scandal with anyone in the entertainment industry before… He was just nice to Nicole alone, so openly at that. Turns out Kai’s also Floyd Stanton’s son! If we didn’t get a divorce, Kai would’ve been my brother-in-law!’It was pretty surprising.Eric felt much better about this. However, when he recalled his attitude towards Kai yesterday, he felt a little regretful.If only Mitchell could read Eric’s thoughts, Mitchell would probably choke on his water.Eric’s eyebrows sank coldly. “What else?”“Edmund Lynch, the Chairman of HS Corporation, is here saying that he has something to discuss with you.”“Let him
