Ines Xavier had just returned to Mediania and came over to join the fun.She did not expect to see Eric Ferguson here, so she could not care less about anything and wanted to approach him.Three years ago, Nicole robbed Ines of her chance, so three years later, Ines vowed not to give up!Eric did not say anything. His face was a little cold, and the disgust in his eyes was obvious.If Mitchell, who was sitting next to Eric, still could not see Eric’s displeasure, then it would be a waste of all those years of working for Eric.At this moment, Mitchell hastily proposed. “President, why don’t we change seats?”Eric stood up without saying a word, so Mitchell quickly moved to the side and sat on Mitchell’s original seat.Mitchell tried his best to ignore the indignant piercing gaze from Ines, who was now next to him.Nicole’s phone beeped. It was a message from Julie Nixon.[That lady sitting next to Eric is Ines Xavier from Gemini Entertainment, right?]Nicole saw the name and
The venue was silent.To everyone’s disappointment, Eric Ferguson faintly withdrew his gaze and did not continue bidding.‘If she likes it that much, I’ll give it to her.’ Eric thought.“$2 million sold!” The sound of the hammer finalized the bidding war.The crowd was a little shocked. ‘Mr. Ferguson conceded?’The show that they were expecting was not that exciting after all.Nicole coldly snorted and thought, ‘This doesn’t even cost that much. Eric Ferguson raised the bid for no reason just so that I’ll spend an extra million. He did this on purpose, right?’She stood up and went to make the payment.Fabian followed by her side.None of them noticed that they were being followed.Nicole looked at the pair of cufflinks and handed them to Fabian personally.“It’s for you.”Fabian froze and widened his eyes in shock.“For me?”‘It’s worth two million dollars, yet Nicole just gave them to me?’Nicole nodded and smiled. “Thanks for accompanying me to the auction. It’s a l
When Eric Ferguson heard what Nicole said earlier that only Fabian was worthy of those cufflinks, he got so angry that he turned around and left without a word.He never would have thought that it was such a coincidence to see Nicole surrounded by people amidst an argument.When he walked over, a glass of juice was splashed on him.He became collateral damage.At this moment, everyone, except Nicole, looked at Ines like she was doomed.Ines was stunned and her lips twitched. “Eric… A-Are you okay?”Eric’s gaze was cold and dark. His voice was extremely cold.“I’m not familiar with you. Please call me Mr. Ferguson.”After that, he just gently swept a glance at Nicole, who looked unconcerned, then turned around and left.No one ever dared to make Eric look so wretched since he was born.Mitchell hurriedly caught up to his boss.Ines had just told everyone that she was on good terms with Eric Ferguson and that their families would most likely have a marriage alliance.In the b
Ines did not give up and wanted to continue saying something.However, Nicole’s phone rang at that moment.Her ringtone cut through their laughable atmosphere.Having no choice, Nicole answered it and walked out.It was Kai.“I heard that a fugitive is on the loose nearby, so just stay where you are. I’ll get someone to pick you up.”Nicole smiled and said, “It’s fine, I can go by myself.”She ignored the two people and walked past them.“Nicole…” Eric called her name.Before Nicole could react, Eric chased after her. “I’ll send you home.”Nicole raised her eyebrows and laughed lightly. She felt amazed by his boldness. ‘When are we ever on good terms with each other? He must be on drugs… I don’t need his help!’“Don’t get me wrong. I heard that a fugitive is lurking around here, so it’s not safe. If something happens to you, I’ll probably get scolded by the netizens again.”‘That ferocious fugitive even robbed and raped a lot of ladies before…’ Eric thought.Eric’s tone
Eric Ferguson grabbed Nicole’s blood-stained arm and asked in a low, hoarse voice.Nicole quickly broke away from his grip and was silent for a moment.“No, it’s not mine.”After that, she got into her car and started the engine.Since they had already called the police, the police could deal with the follow-up.Nicole would much rather go home to sleep than stay here and look at Eric Ferguson for another second!Eric’s dark eyes swept over her. His face became tense when he sensed her detached coldness.Mitchell tied up the fugitive and hurriedly ran over.“Ms. Stanton, should we send you to the hospital for a checkup?”Nicole looked at him and smiled. “No thanks.”She had always been polite to Mitchell because he was the only person who treated her with kindness without the slightest contempt in those three years.No matter how lowly she was to others, Mitchell always treated her as the rightful Mrs. Ferguson.This was the only kindness that was shown to her in the past t
Nicole looked at him sideways with a smirk.“Mr. Ferguson, are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to negotiate terms with me?”Her gaze was scorching.She looked as if she would kill him if he dared to say yes.It was not a question, but a threat!Eric withdrew his gaze, started the car, and stepped on the gas pedal.He was indeed thinking of doing so, but he suddenly did not want to anymore. Eric had not even repaid her what he owed her, so who was he to talk terms?Did he want her to forgive him for the past?After some thought, this seemed very unlikely.When they arrived at the project base, Nicole could not wait to jump out of the car.Unexpectedly, Maverick was standing at the door. Nicole then ran over, jumped on Maverick, and hugged him tightly.“Is it really successful?”Maverick smiled dotingly and gave a faint “mm”. He saw Eric walking over slowly with a glum face. Although Maverick did not know why Eric looked so upset, it did not bother him.
Nicole frowned. ‘Why is Eric’s reaction so big? What does he have to do with me being injured?’“Mr. Ferguson, let me.”During the moment of silence, Maverick reached out to remove Nicole’s arm from Eric’s hand and even rubbed the part that was red from Eric’s tough grip.Maverick had no affinity towards Eric. ‘Isn’t he Nicole’s ex-husband? They have nothing to do with each other anymore, so this doesn’t concern him!’He gently pulled Nicole to the lounge and found a first aid kit to dress her wound. “How did you get hurt?”Nicole was still immersed in the joy of that smart medical device’s successful case study and was not at all concerned about her minor injury.“It’s nothing. I just met a thug, but I cleaned him up. This is just an accidental scratch. Mav, that thing is amazing!”Maverick knew that Nicole could fight. An ordinary person going up against her would just get beaten up.He faintly hooked his lips and gently dressed her wound.“That’s just child’s play. It’s not
Gerard Lichman walked over to Nicole excitedly. He was glowing with delight.“Nicole, we’ve decided to hold a press conference tomorrow to announce this good news that we’re at the forefront of the whole world in medical technology!”Nicole had the same idea for fear of worrying about someone getting ahead of them. She chuckled and was affected by Gerard’s high spirits.It was as if she did not overhear Gerard’s conversation with Eric earlier.“Good. I’ll be there on time.”“Sunner, do you want to join?” Gerard was looking forward to it.Maverick’s name could push this project even further to the top of the pyramid.Maverick shook his head in refusal. His attitude was clear.Gerard felt disappointed, but he did not dare to force this god-level genius.Eric’s dark eyes were staring intently at Nicole’s arm. It was rare for him not to be agitated over this.However, Nicole did not care.“How’s your wound? Shall we postpone the press conference?”Eric looked at her. His breath
