Chapter 155 Just So Unlucky
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
Chapter 156 The Car Ran Out of Gas
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
Chapter 157 They Don’t Have a Relationship
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.
Chapter 158 I Just Want to Make It up to Her
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
Chapter 159 Her Love Triangle
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
Chapter 160 I’ll Bury Him
After hanging up the call with Julie, Nicole immediately called Logan.“Is it too late to acquire a company before the press conference?”Logan paused for a moment to digest that question. “It depends on the size of said company…”‘Is President Nicole addicted to acquiring companies now?’“Gemini Entertainment.”‘That’s not as easy as Anson’s company a few days ago, but…’“The formalities are a bit tedious and will take a few days, but... We already have 16% of their shares in our hands. Second Young Master’s Falcon Entertainment has 30% of their shares, so if you can purchase five percent, you can become the largest shareholder and become the person in command.”In other words, that would be no different from an acquisition.Nicole nodded in satisfaction. “Okay. Do it as soon as possible.”After that, she hung up the phone.She dressed her wound, then made herself a sandwich without haste while she looked at today’s trending topic that she was undoubtedly in.[Fabian likes
Chapter 161 You Can Be the Lead Villain
Hearing this, Nicole lowered her head and laughed lightly.She did not show a trace of panic or fear from Ines Xavier’s threat.It was as if those words were insignificant and nothing more than a ridiculous joke.When Ines was about to explode from anger, Nicole slowly said in a dull voice, “Ms. Xavier, are you only treating me like this because of Eric Ferguson?”Having her thoughts exposed, Ines panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down.There was no need for her to hide her affection for Eric in front of Nicole.“It’s good that you know. Since you’re already divorced, get the hell out of here and stop hanging around him! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being cruel.”Nicole looked askance at Ines and laughed coldly.‘Ines is really overthinking this, huh?’“I’ve never had the habit of turning back to pick up trash. You should tell him not to hang around me instead!”‘Why do all women have to be so obsessed with Eric Ferguson? Is he even worthy? I was so blind in the past,
Chapter 162 Her Father Wouldn’t Dare
Before Ines could finish her sentence, the President’s exclusive elevator arrived downstairs.Dominic Young walked out of the elevator, scanned the lobby, and spotted Nicole. He breathed a sigh of relief and went up to greet her with a warm smile.“President Nicole, you can just summon me over the phone. Why bother making a trip here personally?”Dominic’s cautious and humble attitude to Nicole was not at all like the big shot in showbiz who could turn the tide with a snap of his fingers.Ines instantly looked irritated.She thought, ‘How did I get ignored repeatedly?! I’m at least the daughter of a giant entertainment company!’“Dominic Young, you…”“Who did you want to beat up just now?” Dominic suddenly spoke. His face was cold, and his eyes carried a stern warning.Ines froze for a moment and subconsciously panicked a little.“Do you know who am I? I’m the daughter of Gemini Entertainment’s boss! If you don’t believe me, ask Nicole!”Ines actually had to rely on Nicole to
