Chapter 252 She’s Like a Little White Rabbit
As soon as the words were spoken, the hall was plunged into pin-drop silence.The next second, a thunderous commotion instantly erupted!The barrage on the internet was even more intense.[Holy sh*t! What kind of reversal is this?][I thought I was going to be lovelorn! President Nicole, marry me!][Aaaaaaaahhhh!!! Nicole has three godly brothers! Why don’t I have any?!][I thought that there wouldn’t be a bigger secret after it was revealed that Kai was a Stanton. How did the Stantons churn out so many elites in the various industries?][The Great God Maverick was actually from a rich and influential family? No one knew from how low-key his background was!][He could’ve just relied on his family, but he decided to make a mark on his own instead.][Our Fabian still has a chance! President Nicole, please remember to think of him…]......Inside the venue, everyone’s voices covered the original purpose of the meeting, and the conference was extended for more than half an hour.
Chapter 253 Unfortunate News
Nicole paused in surprise. ‘Huh? Shouldn’t his words have been, “You’re welcome, I didn’t do much”? This freak Eric Ferguson really doesn’t play by the rules…’Nicole felt a little embarrassed, but she maintained a polite smile on the surface. “I just did.”Then, she turned and left.Eric spoke up behind her. “Believe it or not, what happened that night with Chloe Snyder had nothing to do with me.”His expression was tense and slightly unpleasant.What kind of person was Eric Ferguson? Would he be fixated on such a trivial matter?He even went through the effort to explain himself?Eric repeatedly recalled the way Nicole looked at him that night.Her eyes were full of distrust.It was like a knife gouging out his heart.For the first time, he experienced the helplessness of not being trusted.She kicked him out of her world and no longer believed a word he said.Nicole’s back stiffened slightly.She thought of what Logan investigated, so she completely forgot about this ma
Chapter 254 Of Course I’ll Go
Noah’s body stiffened fiercely as his expression became ugly.“Y-You knew about that?”He thought that he had done it stealthily enough.He especially picked small shareholders who joined Stanton Corporation afterward to acquire their shares, but he was unexpectedly still found out.Nicole smiled.“My father single-handedly established Stanton Corporation. It’s not something passed down from our predecessors. Logically speaking, you have no share of this pie. My father hasn’t exposed you only out of his brotherly love for you, but if this goes on, you’ll lose even that affection…”Noah was completely at a loss for words. His eyes flashed with a trace of remorse and regret.At that moment, he had lost the anger he had when he came here.Now, he was like a frozen statue, absent-minded.Nicole put the printed photos in Noah’s hand. “Uncle Noah, you don’t want our money to fall into the hands of those two women, right?”Noah turned his head and left without saying a word.Nicole
Chapter 255 Fifty Seconds Left
Logan was shocked. Usually, Nicole would actively avoid anywhere Eric Ferguson appeared, so why did she not plan to avoid this meeting as well?Nicole held the invitation and raised her brows. She did not know why Eric was so kind to tell her about this opportunity.However, she would not let go of this rare and great occasion.“Book a flight for me…” Nicole said to Logan.Logan paused. “Mitchell said that Mr. Ferguson has already booked it. If you want to go, you can just get on the plane.”Nicole was speechless. ‘That b*stard Eric Ferguson read my thoughts?!’After a while, she took the invitation and went to Grant.“Big Brother, that jerk Eric Ferguson gave me this invitation. I’m going to check it out.”When Grant saw the invitation, he was first a little surprised. Then, he smiled calmly. “I originally wanted to take you there in a few years. You’re still young and lack seniority, so people won’t think too highly of you, but it’s okay if you want to go and see what it’s al
Chapter 256 Her Name Is on the List of Casualties
In Ferguson Corporation.It was already close to dusk when Eric came out of the conference room.The setting sun hung at an angle on the branches of the treetops outside the office, the same as countless ordinary evenings.He still had forty minutes before his flight. He had not forgotten that Nicole was waiting for him in Riopolis.Eric casually loosened his tie and was just about to ask Mitchell to bring all the signed documents when he saw the man suddenly running in from outside in a flurry.His face was pale and panicked.Mitchell had been an assistant to Eric for many years, but he had always been calm and dignified, and never lost his composure like this.“P-President…”Eric frowned. His expression sank slightly as he waited for Mitchell to continue.“An hour ago, I got the news that Ms. Stanton’s plane crashed. After searching and verification, it was confirmed that… There were no survivors...”Mitchell’s voice grew lower and lower, and his lips barely moved when he s
Chapter 257 She Left This World
The Stanton family sent more than a dozen private helicopters to search the waters where the accident occurred. They even hired dozens of foreign mercenaries to salvage the vicinity. They did not give up.Soon, in the same stretch of sea, someone expanded the search scope, and nearly a hundred aircraft hovered overhead. It was a huge and astounding scale.The number of people diving into the sea also increased by dozens of times, causing a multi-national sensation and alarm.Eric did not hesitate to join the search and rescue effort, just for that one person.He did not forget that it was him who gave her that invitation.If not for him, this would not have happened to her. She would not have to be afraid. She would not have gotten into an accident or gone missing. She would not have died.He dared not imagine what was in her mind the moment the plane crashed. Did she think of him?Maybe she hated him even more...How scared did that proud and fearless girl feel at that time?
Chapter 258 Aren’t You a Tiger?
Nearly a thousand nautical miles away from the search area, there was a deserted island besieged by large waves.Dense green leaves covered the sky. Besides the jungle, there were only huge waves and a cold and salty sea breeze.Nicole wandered around this hellhole for three days but had not found any trace of freshwater or food. She had not had a drop of water or eaten anything during this time.Her lips were extremely dried and cracked.Tigger’s scarf became her shawl as it shrank in her coat pocket, dispirited.Fortunately, Nicole reacted faster than others. Just before the plane exploded, she opened the emergency exit and jumped down with a parachute without hesitation.One second in the air was a deviation of several hundred nautical miles. That was how Nicole survived.In the aftermath, Nicole grieved for the other passengers who were not as fortunate as her.However, it did not take long for Nicole to have doubts about whether she could even survive on this island.Her
Chapter 259 She Was Not Miserable Enough
With her last shred of courage in her despair, Nicole re-entered the jungle.Fortunately, Nicole had changed into comfortable leather sneakers before boarding the plane. Otherwise, she would really have to wait for her death.The trees in the woods were several dozen meters high. They were not as lush and dense as a tropical rainforest, but the thickness of each one was the width of several people at least. The trees were a species that she had never seen before either.She walked step by step in lethargy. She scraped her hands on the sharp tree branches, and the streaks of blood were very stark against her pale skin. However, she was not in the mood to care about these minor injuries.After all, she was going to die.“Tigger, do you see any fruit?”Nicole’s voice was hoarse and dry as she asked breathlessly.Tigger shook its head, its answer as disappointing as always.She stepped forward with great effort, feeling exhausted and dizzy. Her head felt like it was spinning.Sudd
