Upstairs, Quinn’s gaze was dazed after an intimate session with the scar-faced man. Her complexion was ruddy and glowing as she flung herself into the man’s arms. Her voice was also more charming.“You didn’t do what you promised me.”The man was smoking, and he chortled when he heard this.“The people around Nicole Stanton are so powerful that I couldn’t find a chance to do it. I got someone to follow her once, but that guy was caught, beaten up, and arrested.”Quinn immediately sobered up and calmly began to put on her clothes.The man looked at her upset face and grabbed her hand.“If it doesn’t work this time, we can try again next time.”Quinn shook him off. “How do you plan to do it?”“I can’t get close to her, but you can!”The man looked at her and smiled sinisterly.The smoke that came out of his mouth spilled on her face.Quinn was slightly taken aback.“Don’t worry. As long as you listen to me, it can happen without anyone noticing.”The man comforted her and sa
Quinn scolded Eric hysterically. Her hands were shaking because she wanted to hide her guilty conscience. She also did not want to endure the resentment and grievances that accumulated for many years.There was hatred in her eyes as she looked at him. Her face was distorted from anger.“You got your bodyguards to tie me up? What about him?”She was scared.Eric must know everything since he was waiting for them at the entrance of the bar.“How did you know?”Eric stared at her silently. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, but he did not want others to see his fragility.It would be too easy for his defenses to break down.Eric tightly clutched the bone that had lost its temperature.He flashed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile as he threw it at her body.His voice was gruff as he said, “He’s right here.”Quinn saw the man’s bone clearly and was startled. Her face turned pale instantly.She screamed and fell to the ground, looking at her son in horror.“You...”Eric’s
Quinn covered her face with her hands as tears fell uncontrollably.Eric was long gone.He left his mother behind.Eric resented her so much now probably because he must have had expectations for Quinn to be a good mother.However, she did not live up to his expectations.Back then, Quinn could have divorced Charles and left the toxic Ferguson family with her children, but she did not.She did not have the ability to survive independently, and she did not want to lose the glory brought by the Ferguson family.Thus, Charles was the one who left.For so many years, Quinn was restrained by Old Master Ferguson. Once the old man died, Eric was the one who restrained her.Quinn tried to fight back, but she could not.Eric was more ruthless than Old Master Ferguson.It was as if he was not her son.Her adultery was exposed by her son, which made her feel ashamed.That man’s bone was still on the ground.Quinn felt sick and wanted to vomit. She could not take a second look at it.
After the song, everyone applauded Selena.However, Selena only sang one song because she was in a good mood.She was more confident on stage, and she had a failed life off-stage.This stark contrast made Eric feel distressed.Selena handed the guitar to the musician next to her and walked down the stage with a smile.When she looked up, she saw Eric sitting there.Eric nodded lightly. He looked, aloof, indifferent, noble, and reserved.Selena raised her eyebrows and walked over with a smile.Although they were not close, Eric had helped her so many times, and she was not a heartless person.Thus, she walked over with the wine that the bartender handed to her and greeted Eric with a smile.“Mr. Ferguson, are you in such a bad mood that you’d come to my bar? I thought you were always busy!”After all, there were three types of people who came to the bar — people in a bad mood who wanted to let loose, successful people like Eric who came to discuss business, and people who pur
“Y-You want me to go…?”Quinn panicked in fright.Her plastic friends looked at her in surprise. Quinn quickly adjusted her expression, turned around with a smile, and turned her back to them.“Wouldn’t I be exposed if I went?”Quinn was already. Her son looked down on her, and her status in the Ferguson family plummeted.If Eric found out that she wanted to kill Nicole, she might be kicked out of the Ferguson Villa.After all, Eric was not a kind or sentimental person.Thus, Quinn subconsciously resisted the idea and panicked.The man paused. He felt that Quinn’s cowardice was ridiculous and said indifferently, “Don’t worry. I’ve broken the surveillance cameras, so no one will notice you. Who else can you boss around? I’m sure they were all bought out by your son. You can put on a disguise and go in through the fire escape. No one will see you. Then, drive Nicole’s car to a remote place and leave it there.By the time the Stanton family realized this, Nicole would already be
Quinn drove out.Her heartbeat was getting faster as if it was about to break through her chest.She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, lest Nicole found out.Quinn quickly stepped on the accelerator.She came to a red light, but she did not care.The next second, a large truck came out from the side and rammed toward her at an extremely fast speed.100 meters… 50 meters… 30 meters...Quinn only realized the danger when the large truck honked at her.Her eyes widened instantly. Her complexion was pale, and she quickly slammed on the brakes.However, the brakes did not respond at all no matter how hard she stepped on them.It was too late.The man’s sneer flashed in her mind. Was this his ploy?He actually tampered with this car instead?The brakes of the truck screeched against the ground. The sound was sharp and harsh.In an instant, Quinn slammed into the steering wheel.The car crashed into the fence next door, whirled around, and rolled over.Quinn was
The police officer spoke again.“That car is nearly scrapped. We have investigated Mrs. Quinn Ferguson’s latest activities and call records. She has contacted an unfamiliar number from abroad, but it’s a temporary number. We’ve started tracking it. If you have any clues, you can provide them to us.”Nicole nodded.Her expression was very complicated. She felt sorry for what happened to Quinn, but she could not think of Quinn’s purpose for doing this.“Have you met Mrs. Quinn Ferguson recently?”The police officer asked.Nicole shook her head. “No, I don’t have any contact with her privately.”The police officer nodded.“Well, we have no other questions for now, so you two can leave.”Clayton thanked him and helped Nicole get up.“Were you scared?”Clayton touched Nicole’s forehead.Nicole shook her head. “I just can’t figure it out.”The couple went out and got into the car.Clayton paused. “Why don’t we go to the hospital to check it out? Mr. Ferguson may know more than
Eric lowered his head, and his shoulders slumped.“You can come up with any conditions you want as compensation.”Seeing Eric like this, Nicole was speechless for a while.Nicole did not mind confronting Eric if he insisted on keeping this under wraps.However, Eric compromised so easily.Nicole pursed her lips. Although Quinn brought this onto herself and deserved it, Quinn received her punishment.Eric was also unaware of it.Nicole thought about it for a while, then she looked at him coldly and said blankly, “Well, I don’t mind keeping this matter from the public, but you must tell the police because I’m not sure if Mrs. Ferguson will continue to find trouble with me after she wakes up. So, it’s better to let the police handle it. But I won’t disclose it to the media. Of course, if there are any comments online related to this matter, you’ll have to deal with it yourself. We won’t intervene.”She was willing to compromise, but she would not help Eric to hide this from the po
