Nicole looked like she had a headache. “Yvette, who the hell is so dumb to send me flowers?”“Of course, it’s Ian Carter. He instructed me to deliver it to you by hand.”‘Ian? That Young Master is really capable of making things happen!’Yvette laughed. “Old Master Carter sent Hugh to study abroad. I heard that if he fails this time, his grandpa will break his legs.”“Awww… It’s a pity that we didn’t get to send him off. I guess we’ll just have to wait for him to come back and throw him a nice welcome back party!”Nicole was helpless and got her assistant to take the flowers out of her office. She felt a lot more comfortable without the strong scent of flowers in the air.Yvette nodded. “Yup, my thoughts exactly. By the way, I’ve looked into FH Corporation like you asked me to last time.”Nicole looked up at her. Yvette laughed and said, “FH Corporation has long since become a shell company. They keep asking for loans everywhere and owe the bank a large sum of money they can’t e

Both Mr. Zeller and Samantha Lindt were shaken when they heard Nicole’s words. Mr. Zeller suddenly smiled widely, picked up the bottle of red wine next to him, and poured a glass for Nicole.“Ms. Nicole, since it’s a negotiation, I came with my sincerity. Why don’t you take a look at this document? As long as you sign it, I won’t treat you badly.”Mr. Zeller took a file from his bag. The content was similar to the contract Nicole was holding, but the figure was another ten percent lower than the one Samantha had set.Samantha thought about it and quickly advised her. “Nicole, what’s the point of you only relying on Grant Stanton? You’d be better off getting a few more backers. Think about it, Grant clearly wants to do you harm because he just left you in this position without even guiding you. He probably won’t marry you either…”Nicole did not care for Samantha’s sowing of dissension because she probably thought that they were lovers.‘Is she trying to poach me?’“Look at the cl

That handsome man with that tall and upright figure currently standing in front of Nicole was the man that she had been infatuated with for three years, Eric Ferguson.At first sight, Nicole was stunned for a moment but quickly regained her composure.‘Why is he here? It’s probably a coincidence.’Nicole was not so self-absorbed as to think that Eric Ferguson had been watching her every move so that he could swoop in like a hero to save her.“Mr. Ferguson?” Mr. Zeller stood up in a panic and trembled in fear.Eric’s face was gloomy as he glared viciously at Mr. Zeller. “Do you have a death wish? I can grant your wish!”At this moment, a wave of inexplicable anger suddenly surged in his chest. His eyes were cold and intimidating.Eric was just about to go forward to teach Flint Zeller a lesson when a figure suddenly appeared from behind. The other man kicked Flint Zeller, who had just stood up, back to the ground. Then threw a flurry of punches on Flint’s face and body. No place

Nicole sneered and did not look at Eric Ferguson again. She took her phone and purse, then stomped away in her high heels. Her back was slim and gave off a sense of confidence.Ian raised his eyebrows and immediately followed after Nicole.Eric stood frozen in place. His gaze was as cold as frost. Nicole’s words felt like a thorn in his heart that made him uncomfortable.‘Being a lowly servant to my family? When did the titular Mrs. Ferguson become a servant?’It seemed that there were too many things that Eric was not aware of.As soon as Nicole walked out, she saw a red-faced Flint Zeller tugging on Samantha Lindt at the entrance.‘So, she already knew and was prepared for it… Then was my move earlier superfluous? Tsk, tsk…’ Nicole thought.Nicole got into the car and left. When she heard Eric’s misunderstanding earlier, she felt hurt because he did not know what kind of person she was after three years of marriage.After a moment, Nicole regained composure and did not show a

Samantha’s face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.Nicole laughed. “Samantha, if I expose this recording, the company will thoroughly investigate all the projects you handle. If so, you won’t be able to stay in this industry anymore and might even be imprisoned. Are you really willing to give up your career for FH Corporation?”Samantha would not give it up.A trace of panic flashed in Samantha’s eyes as her face paled. She immediately spoke with a respectful tone, “Nic- Vice President Nicole, I was too reckless earlier. FH Corporation’s project isn’t that great anyway, and that company is in fact already an empty shell...”Nicole nodded with satisfaction. “Then don’t mention the cooperation with FH Corporation in the future. I recognize your capability, but you have to use it for your own work. Don’t worry about other companies.”“Yes, Vice President Nicole.” Samantha stiffened slightly.......After dealing with Samantha, Nicole had to study J&L’s project. Getting thi

This new lovers’ restaurant opened right above Keith Ludwig’s restaurant. It was very popular, so Keith had to come and experience it himself and even dragged Eric Ferguson with him.The waiter stressed over and over again that this was a lovers’ restaurant.Keith winked at Eric and lightly lifted his pinky as he pulled Eric’s arm. “Don’t we look like a couple?”“Ferg, Ludwig, what a coincidence…”A man and a woman walked over to them. Colton White looked like a typical gentry, and the woman holding Colton’s arm was a recently popular social media influencer with a narrow jaw and a pair of big eyes.Keith snorted lightly. “Why are you here?”“Lily said this place is nice, so we came to check it out. Isn’t this a lovers’ restaurant?” Colton implied something and covered his mouth to hold back his laughter.They were all childhood buddies, so there was no need to evade each other. Eric scowled and glared at Keith.Colton White felt amused since it was rare to see Eric at a loss l

After that, Eric Ferguson stood up and left, leaving the pale-faced Colton White behind.Keith Ludwig chased after Eric. ‘This must be related to Nicole again. That woman’s really troublesome.’ “Ferg, why do you look so upset? We’re all bros. You know that Colton’s always been straightforward. Don’t take whatever he said to heart.”Eric also knew that he had overreacted and did not expect to have lost control of his emotions like that. It was just that when he found out about these things that he should have known but was kept in the dark, his only thought was, ‘Is this why Nicole hates me?’His chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable.He stood at the entrance for a while. After getting blown by the cold wind, he felt more clear-minded. He took out a cigarette and lit it. “I know. You can tell him that it’s not directed at him.”‘I’m just mad at myself!’ Eric thought.Keith breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay, but you’re not longing for that woman, right?”Eric cast a sidelong glance

The girls looked at Ingrid’s grim face and quieted down.The second floor of the banquet hall was relatively quiet. When Grant brought Nicole upstairs, an unruly-looking young man in an expensive black shirt stood up.The two men shook hands briefly. Grant smiled and said, “Mr. Lichman, it’s been a while.”Gerard Lichman laughed. The corners of his lips hooked up charmingly. “Hello, Mr. Stanton.”Without waiting for Grant’s introduction, Gerard had already moved his gaze onto Nicole. It was an appreciative glance with a decent sense of proportion that was not offensive.“Ms. Nicole, you’re not only beautiful but also capable. I hope that you won’t mind that I put off our dinner and invited you to this banquet instead.”Nicole smiled, "Of course not. Congratulations on J&L’s 5th anniversary. I hope we’ll be able to work together happily in the years to come.”She made a double entendre.Gerard smiled. “Mr. Stanton, may I talk to Ms. Nicole privately? After all, if there’s a chan

Nicole thought, ‘I see, so that’s how it is… He’s already a shareholder, huh? I just didn’t expect Eric Ferguson had set his eyes on the field of artificial intelligence for so long.’If Gerard Lichman did not take the initiative to tell Nicole this, Nicole would not have been able to find out. The fact that he told her this information also proved that he genuinely wanted to cooperate with her.Although Nicole was not happy about Eric’s involvement, she had a clear mind and separated her personal affairs and business well. She would not give up on this opportunity.Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled. “With Ferguson Corporation’s strength, you can very well enjoy the fruits of this cooperation by yourself. Why do you need a third party to get involved?”She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Eric.“After all, this is a brand new field that no one’s involved in, so Ferguson Corporation cannot take this risk alone.”The man’s voice was deep and clear. The corners of his li

When Nicole heard her name, she froze for a moment. She did not want to have anything to do with Eric Ferguson, but this situation was out of her control and she felt everyone’s eyes on her at this moment.The awkward relationship between them after their divorce added to the mystery of this coincidental cooperation.Eric also did not expect this. Without a doubt, this was Gerard’s doing.Nicole was still in a pickle when Eric walked to her. He was exuding a cool aura as he bent slightly and reached out, inviting Nicole to the dance floor.Everyone’s eyes were focused on the pair.There was no way Nicole could reject Eric’s invitation because she did not want to leave a negative impact at the beginning of their three-way cooperation.Grant gave his baby sister a heartfelt look. Nicole smiled faintly, then stretched out her hand to take Eric’s.The people in front of them consciously made way for the pair. Nicole carried her dress with her other hand and walked forward without lo
