Eric frowned. He could not stand seeing his son being so cowardly and timid.However, he knew that he was not close to his son, so he could not bring himself to lecture Chance.Who knew how Angie brought him up in the first place?Eric suspected from the beginning that Angie had an ulterior motive in placing Chance by his side.Since Angie had bad intentions, Eric was not willing to waste his effort in developing feelings for his son.Thus, Eric did not care much about this kid.Eric thought so, and the emotion in his eyes faded a little.He stood up straight and looked at Yasmin.“Take good care of the young master. If he gets sick again, you won’t be able to keep this job.”Yasmin could not even take care of a child, and Eric usually did not have much patience for his employees.He would rather replace Yasmin with another nanny that could do the job well.Yasmin paused and immediately assured him.“Mr. Ferguson, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of the young master so that
Zach could not cover up this matter no matter how much money he put into it.Countless videos and photos were leaked. Everyone unscrupulously condemned the cheating couple.Zach’s assets were frozen. Someone even leaked information proving that Zach’s property had been transferred to Kirsi’s name.Nicole and Clayton were eating in the restaurant.Nicole was a little wary of places with few people perhaps because of the strange and creepy feeling from the last incident.She planned to move back to the Stanton Mansion in the next few days.Clayton had been persuading her not to be so impulsive.Nicole glanced at the news on her phone, looked up at the man who was cutting steak for her, and smiled.“You didn’t do this, right?”Clayton raised his eyebrows. “I did it.”He admitted it so quickly that Nicole was caught off guard.“Why? Why would you pay attention to such a menial thing?”Clayton smiled. “Tina always wanted to sell her property to you, and I knew you put a lot of e
Nicole saw that it was almost time, so she took Levi’s little hand and said, “Let’s go. I heard that there’s a parent-child activity later. What sports did you sign up for? Running? I didn’t wear sneakers today though…”Levi helplessly followed Nicole outside and replied, “I signed up for Go!”After Nicole heard this, she paused for a while before she said, “Great…”Levi raised his head in surprise.Nicole frankly added, “I don’t know how to play Go.”Levi was speechless.They went to the appointed room and saw that the two empty seats on the opposite side of the table were already filled.Nicole frowned.It turned out to be Eric Ferguson.To Nicole’s surprise, the other seat was occupied by Cheryl Lichman.It looked like Eric still had some feelings for his son after all.Nicole glanced at them casually, walked over, and sat down.The teacher hurriedly greeted her. “Ms. Stanton, please take a seat.”It seemed that she was the last to arrive.Nicole smiled apologetically
Cheryl’s face was as pale as paper.Her self-esteem was attacked.She did not expect Eric, who looked like a gentleman, to say such heartless words.Cheryl was so embarrassed that she wanted to burrow into the ground.She was proud and pampered since childhood.Thus, when the man she liked insulted her like that, she found it hard to accept.After a long time, the teacher finally set up the activity and called everyone to gather around.Only then did Eric look up at Cheryl nonchalantly.“You’re not leaving yet?”His voice was indifferent.Cheryl took a deep breath.She knew that if she left now, she would lose any chance she had with Eric.If so, what was the difference between her and the other women he looked down on?Cheryl would not flee in shame.She had to take down Eric.Thinking of this, Cheryl smiled. “Mr. Ferguson, you’re right. Because of you, I won’t mind being a stepmother to Chance. I accept this fact.”Eric frowned and glanced at her.Cheryl took a deep
Cheryl’s first reaction when she saw Eric was to shirk any responsibility.The teacher looked up at Cheryl, hesitated for a while, and said, “Mr. Ferguson, you provided Chance’s safety harness, and it was never faulty. When Ms. Lichman put it on for Chance, I reminded her to be careful..."Eric’s face darkened.Although he did not witness the accident, he immediately understood what caused the accident after listening to their explanation.Eric glanced at Cheryl coldly. He was no longer polite as he said frankly, “You can explain it to my lawyer and the police later.”He implied that he would not brush off this matter easily.Cheryl instantly looked embarrassed.The teacher said, “The doctor will be here soon.”In the next second, another person hurried in.“Chance…”Yasmin ran in anxiously and knelt beside Chance with worry in her eyes.She carefully touched Chance’s head. It looked gory because of the pool of blood under his head.Chance pulled her sleeve tightly, opened
Eric’s eyes were indifferent, and his voice was harsh as he said, “Why? He doesn’t know anything about the things his sister did?”Cheryl implied several times that she approached him with Gerard’s knowledge.Otherwise, Eric would not have tolerated her so many times.However, this woman was much more ruthless than he thought.Mitchell pursed his lips. “The police have already detained Cheryl Lichman for questioning. The surveillance footage and witnesses are all available, so it’s easy to convict her. But she refuses to admit that she did it.”“It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t admit it as long as it doesn’t affect the conviction.”Eric said coldly.Mitchell was silent. It seemed that Eric was determined to settle accounts.Right.No matter what, Chance was Eric’s son. How could Eric just ignore it when Chance was injured while in Cheryl’s care. In the next second, Eric suddenly paused. “Where’s Yasmin?”Mitchell looked around. “I was in a hurry just now, so I didn’t pay at
Mitchell said, “Although Young Master Chance’s life is no longer in danger, he fell from such a high place.”Mitchell glanced at him lightly. “You shouldn’t go to Mr. Ferguson to beg for mercy again for the sake of J&L Corporation.”That was all Mitchell had to say.Not long after Gerard left, Yasmin hurried over.Mitchell glanced at her with dissatisfaction.“Why are you late?”Yasmin paused and explained in a harmless and innocent tone.“I was afraid that I wrongly accused Ms. Lichman, so I went to check the surveillance footage. Is the young master alright?”Mitchell frowned. “He’s alright. Stay here and take care of the young master. I’m going to the police station.”“Okay.”Once Mitchell left, Yasmin’s harmless expression slowly faded. She took a deep look in the direction that Mitchell left and pushed open the door of the ward.Chance’s little face was pale, and his head was wrapped in gauze. He looked so pitiful.He lay there, completely unaware of the person who jus
After a long time, Gerard looked shocked, and he could not calm down.Gerard’s voice was dry and hoarse.“So, you just let her set the place on fire and watched silently, huh?”Cheryl was startled. She subconsciously shook her head.“I… I wanted to save Chance, but Nicole had already rushed in. Right! I wanted to save Chance, but I was one step too late!”Gerard looked at his sister with complicated eyes.Was she still the proud and confident Cheryl Lichman that he knew?When Cheryl spoke, she dodged his gaze. She was lying, and she was guilty.Gerard thought of this and felt like his head was covered by a layer of haze. He only felt a chill in his heart.If it only involved Cheryl, this matter would be relatively simple.However, Cheryl was so stupid to get involved with Ingrid.Eric would never let Cheryl get away with it like how he would cover for Ingrid.Gerard paused, looked at Cheryl for a full minute, stood up, and turned to leave.“Brother, will you help me?”Ger
