Eric frowned. Although he did not want to deal with Chance’s matters, he still nodded at the teacher.“Mitchell is in Africa these days. If you can’t get in touch with him, you can contact the nanny. I can also connect you with my other assistants.”The teacher was a little shocked. “I’m afraid this isn’t something that a nanny or assistant can solve. Ms. Stanton was the one who recommended that we contact Chance’s guardian directly.”When Eric heard Nicole’s name, the coldness between his eyebrows eased slightly.“Let’s talk then.”The teacher paused. “Mr. Ferguson, you do know that child abuse is illegal, right?”Eric was silent and looked up at the teacher.“Get to the point.”The teacher was intimidated by Eric’s tone and took a deep breath.“We inadvertently found large bruises on Chance’s back and buttocks. The bruises were both old and new. Mr. Ferguson, do you know the origin of these marks?”For a while, the air in the office seemed to be frozen.“What did you say?”
Chance stood there sluggishly with his hands clasped tightly. He looked indescribably aggrieved as he lowered his head without saying a word.Eric pursed his lips. “Since you don’t want to tell me, I might have wrongly accused Yasmin. Do you want her to continue to take care of you?”Chance remained silent and stood there motionless.Eric finally lost his patience. He stared indifferently at the child who resembled him and said, “I don’t have time to waste all my energy on you. If you don’t say anything, then you can keep quiet forever. I’m not interested in knowing what happens between you and the nanny.”Chance finally had a reaction. He raised his eyelids slightly.However, this time, there was no light in his clear eyes. He looked like a child who grew up in an instant.Chance pursed his lips, and his face was pale.Eric’s secretary knocked on the door and came in to inform Eric of a meeting. Eric took his phone and went out without saying a word.Not long after, someone ca
Yasmin thought, ‘If only I didn’t meet Eric back then… None of this would’ve happened. That way, I wouldn’t be used by Clayton and wouldn’t have lost my freedom.’Yasmin looked at the man on the ground with gloomy eyes. Her expression turned vicious.She slowly raised the dagger in her hand and hooked her lips.“When he dies, you’ll inherit his property. Then, I can return to Southeast Asia to rebuild my forces. Son, I won’t give birth to you in vain!”Chance got up from the ground and shook his head to stop her.However, Yasmin did not care about Chance’s objection and only wanted to quickly resolve the matter at hand.Yasmin smiled. “I’ll let you see how I kill your father. You’ll probably be traumatized by it, but it doesn’t matter. Mommy grew up watching people get killed, and I have killed people myself. You’re my son, so you ought to learn how to kill. How about this? Why don’t you kill him? You might even get cured after killing him…”After she spoke, she took Chance’s ha
Eric did not hesitate at all. He pushed Chance away and walked out.At this time, the bodyguards who were stationed covertly outside ran in.“Mr. Ferguson, we caught her.”Eric’s eyes turned cold for a moment.He seemed to be quite glad.“Very good.”Chance followed closely behind Eric. Even with tears streaming uncontrollably down his face, Chance was afraid that something would happen to his mother.He was afraid of his mother, but he loved his mother too.How could a child hold a grudge?Chance wanted to shout to stop Eric, but he could hardly make a sound no matter how hard he tried.He could only use his strength to cry silently.Eric walked to the front. His back was awe-inspiring, and he was exuding a terrifying chill.Angie did not expect Eric to come prepared.She was caught so quickly and could not escape.Finally, she panicked.“Eric, don’t you want to know why I came here?”“No.”After Eric finished speaking, Angie was tied up.Angie struggled to no avail.
Eric hated Clayton.He absolutely hated Clayton’s face. Listening to Clayton speak made Eric even more annoyed.Eric did not know how it was possible for such an annoying person to exist in this world.Eric was livid as he sat on the sofa, motionless and stiff.If not for his wound, Eric would have fought with Clayton.Eric wanted Clayton to know what it meant to have a death wish.The maid looked at them strangely and did not dare to listen anymore. She quickly left the vicinity.Clayton put the gifts on the table, patted them, and said meaningfully, “Here, mend your wound.”Eric glared at him with dark eyes.“No need. Keep it for yourself!”Clayton chuckled lightly, seemingly mocking Eric’s stubbornness.“Mr. Ferguson, I’m not here to visit you because you’re sick. Don’t misunderstand my good intentions.”Eric really wanted to rip off Clayton’s hypocritical mask.“Clayton Sloan, if you have something to say, just spit it out! Don’t think that I won’t dare to do anything
Clayton stood still and looked back at Eric.“Is she really dead? I don’t think so…”Eric’s face changed instantly.“What are you trying to say? Why, did you rescue her again?”Eric’s eyes turned intimidating and cold.Clayton smiled. “Mr. Ferguson, how many times do I have to say that I have nothing to do with her? Her existence is a threat to Nicole, so I want her to disappear more than you do.”Clayton shrugged helplessly. His gentle voice was tinged with a bit of ruthlessness.Eric stared at him for more than ten seconds.He turned his head to look at the maid who came over with some cleaning supplies and instructed coldly, “Clean this up later. Don’t come here without my order.”The maid trembled, nodded quickly, put down the tools, and left.Once the maid was far away, Eric slowly sat back on the sofa.Eric only had enough patience at the mention of Nicole.Of course, there were still opportunities.“How is she a threat to Nicole?”Clayton lowered his head and expla
After Clayton finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the huge living room.Eric was a little surprised by Clayton’s high IQ.Clayton looked like a sly fox, but he was more ruthless than a fox.He was more like a docile wolf.Thinking of this, Eric hated Clayton even more.Clayton was abominable for coming up with such a tortuous yet effective plan. However, his hands were clean.He was clearly the most sinister person, but he looked clean and flawless.Eric gnashed his teeth and looked at Clayton. His eyes unconsciously turned cold.Clayton saw Eric’s reaction and said with a smile, “Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you have your own ideas, you can put them forward.”It would not necessarily be better than his.A full minute passed before Eric said slowly, “I agree.”In order to not see that woman again for the rest of his life, Eric had to do this.Clayton said, “Great! My subordinates will stay guard in Southeast Asia. If your plan fails, I’ll solve
The sky was darkening.No one knew when the feud between Eric and Clayton started.Occasionally when they met each other outside, Clayton would take the initiative to say hello to Eric.However, Clayton’s attitude was nonchalant. Every word that Clayton said could easily rile up Eric, but that made Clayton very happy.Eric always coveted Nicole but was unwilling to do anything about it.The real progression of the relationship between them was on the day that Chance found out that Angie was dead.Several months had passed.Angie died on her way back to Southeast Asia.The cause of her death was related to the two teenage girls who were also among the stowaways at the border.However, because of the limited space in the car, Angie gritted her teeth and stabbed the two girls with a knife, throwing them out before they were about to be discovered.Due to this incident, everyone targeted Angie.It was not because Angie was cruel.It was more so because the people there were mor
