There were a few seconds of silence.Nicole pursed her lips and said to Camille and Leighton, “How about this? I’ll go back and contact a few people to see if there’s a way to go on the cruise. You two can take Yasmin back first. Her health is important.”Leighton nodded.Nicole looked at Yasmin and smiled. “Thanks for telling me, Yasmin. Goodbye.”Then, Nicole left.Camille walked to Yasmin’s side and picked up the wig Yasmin had thrown aside.“Yasmin, do you want to come with me?”Yasmin nodded.Nicole went out and looked at Kai’s bodyguards outside. “You don’t need to stay here anymore. You can go back now.”“Yes, Miss.”When she got downstairs, Luca opened the car door for her.“Where are we going?”“Let’s look for Eric Ferguson.”Nicole spoke calmly and could not help but rub her forehead.She did not even know how to ask Eric for help.Nicole did not usually beg for help from others, but this was inevitable in the business world at times.However, Nicole did not w
Nicole pursed her lips and coughed.“Chance, it’s been a long time since we met. Why don’t we go together? I heard that the restaurant in this hotel is great, and the children will like it. Will you help me taste the kid’s menu so I can take it back Chatty later?”Chance’s eyes flickered as he looked at Eric timidly.He did not dare to speak, let alone promise Nicole anything.Of course, Chance was willing to join Nicole for dinner and taste the menu for Chatty, but he was afraid of Eric.Eric glanced at Nicole with complicated eyes. Although he was very reluctant, he still allowed it.“Nevermind. I’ll let it go this time. If you eat junk food again, you won’t have to eat for the day.”Chance nodded timidly.Eric looked at Nicole with a relaxed expression.“Let’s go.”Nicole reached out and took Chance’s little hand.Chance’s wrinkled and pitiful little face gradually softened. He raised his head and smiled at Nicole from the bottom of his heart.He was thankful to Nicole.
Nicole smiled. “He might. Also, eating too much fast food like hamburgers isn’t good for your health because there’s no nutritional value. I usually don’t let Chatty and Fischer eat hamburgers. Your father had good intentions to stop you from eating these things out of concern for you. Next time, you should tell him that you’re hungry so he’ll know!”She felt sorry for Chance.Eric was not a great father, but he was not horrible.At least, Eric did not leave Chance to fend for himself in this world.Eric allowed Chance to appear in the eyes of the public with dignity and announced Chance’s identity. This meant no one could replace Chance’s status.However, some short-sighted people only looked at Eric’s attitude and treated Chance badly, so it more or less made Chance feel uncomfortable.Not everyone was as obsessed with being a father as Clayton was or enjoyed it.At that thought, Nicole fell silent for a moment.Clayton took care of Chatty in every possible way and even knew
“Mr. Ferguson, I’d be an idiot if I didn’t know how to read cues. Since you’re not in the mood to help, then forget it. I won’t force you to. Anyway, I don’t believe that you’re the only one who knows George Quay. Haven’t you heard of a theory? Everyone is just six or fewer social connections away from each other.”Nicole looked at Eric nonchalantly and was about to leave after she spoke.Eric gritted his teeth and sighed.“I really don’t know what to do with you…”His voice was low, and he sounded helpless.“You might as well ask me since you’d need to find at least five people to get to George, and he might not meet you either. But if you beg me, I can let you meet him right now.”His voice had a deep pull as if he was drawing a huge net, trying to trap her in it.Of course, Nicole was not that stupid.Nicole immediately stopped. She brushed her hair aside and looked at him solemnly.“I beg you.”In the meantime, she even bowed with a begging attitude.Eric froze slightly.
Chance’s voice was soft and aggrieved.Nicole’s heart trembled and softened.Eric looked at Chance with satisfaction and thought, ‘That kid finally knows how to use his brain.’“Fine… But this will only be valid while Levi and Chance are in this school. if Levi skips a grade or transfers to another school, this agreement will be void immediately.”Nicole looked at Eric.Eric nodded. “Okay, deal.”He looked like he was thinking of Chance, but in fact, this was just his first step in approaching Nicole.Eric was steadily walking into Nicole’s world, and no one could stop him this time.Chance curled his lips happily.“Thank you, Auntie! I’ll behave well and won’t cause trouble.”Nicole smiled. She had no problems with Chance.She was affected by Chance’s sudden change in mood.“No problem.”Nicole said with a smile.She raised her eyebrows and looked at Eric, who pursed his lips and took out his phone.Then, he called George.George’s secretary answered the phone.“Hello
Eric had no choice but to take over the phone from Nicole.“Okay. Please send me the location. You should also go back as soon as possible.”Eric hung up the phone and looked at her cautiously.“Nicole, are you okay? What’s the matter?”Nicole blinked. She felt as if she had been smashed on the head. First, she was numb. Then, there was severe pain.She felt like she was being toyed with, and she felt suffocated, dismal, and powerless.Jeff and Clayton.Their figures appeared in her mind, but it was Clayton who remained in the end.Was Jeff Clayton?If Clayton was not dead, why did he not return to her?Why did he watch as she was in despair because of him?That was not right.Nicole saw Jeff’s face, which did not resemble Clayton’s.Or did Clayton make minor adjustments to his face to avoid being recognized by Nicole?It had been a few months. Any high-tech fine-tuning surgery would have enough time to heal.Once the doubt in her heart seeded, she could not control it a
The female patient was just as calm as Nicole. She laughed, exchanged pleasantries, and mingled like a normal person.There was nothing unusual, but her arms were full of self-inflicted scars.It was shocking.That was why the psychiatrist called Nicole right away.It was not that he had never seen such patients before. He was just worried that some patients would make themselves seem better than they were to mislead him.He would misunderstand that they were going in a good direction, but in fact, their condition could be worse.The psychiatrist panicked when he did not hear Nicole’s response.“Ms. Stanton, you...”Nicole coughed and finally spoke.Her voice was nonchalant, somewhat hoarse, and steady.“Sorry, I was replying to an email just now. Don’t worry. I’m fine. I know my body. After this trip, I’ll contact you when I return to Mediania. We can talk about it later, okay?”The psychiatrist felt that it was strange and kept silent.He was suspicious.Was Nicole just
Nicole shook hands with the man gently and smiled. He had an accent and spoke eloquently.However, he did not seem like a native English speaker.“You’re welcome.”“Ms. Stanton, I heard that your friend is still there. To thank you for your help, we’ll help you rescue your friend while we capture Sebastian and destroy the laboratory. What’s his name?”Nicole lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and was silent for a few seconds.“Jeff Lieberman. He’s a disabled person and has limited mobility, so please make sure he’s safe.”“Okay.”The man agreed and glanced at Luca with some scrutiny.“Ms. Stanton, since you brought your own bodyguard, I hope you can protect yourself later.”“Mr. Upton, you don’t have to care about me. I just want to find my friend.”Connor nodded.Leighton came out and patted Connor on the shoulder.“Shall we start?”“Okay. I’ll leave this to you. Ms. Stanton, since you’ve been here before, why don’t you come in and tell us more about it?”“Okay.
