Hearing those voices, Nicole frowned slightly. “That sounds like Yvette…”Kai was doubtful. “Really?”He then stood up and went outside. When he came back, he brought Yvette, Julie, and Ian with him.The three of them were all red-eyed. Yvette jumped over as soon as she saw Nicole. “Lil N!”Julie also wanted to jump at Nicole, but Kai grabbed her clothes to stop her.“One by one! Don’t touch my sister’s wounds!”Julie immediately stopped fighting him. The worry in her eyes was unconcealed. “You’re injured?!”Nicole patted Yvette’s back and looked at Julie with a smile. “I’m fine now, mostly recovered!”Ian Carter, who was standing on the side, looked so disheveled, thin, and drained. He even had stubble all over his jaw from not having shaved for days.Seeing that Nicole was fine, Ian kneeled on one knee in front of Nicole’s hospital bed and started to sob. Yvette, who was also choking back sobs, was speechless.Julie was too shocked to say anything. Suddenly, the somew
In a few days, the online discussion was getting more and more intense. The number of views and comments was soaring, and this video spread like wildfire.Nicole was almost fully recovered and was ready to leave the hospital. Under layers of coverings and disguise, she was still recognized as soon as she went out.Numerous microphones and reporters swarmed over to Nicole.“Ms. Stanton, are all of those experiences real?”“Ms. Stanton, is there anything you want to say after surviving this ordeal?”“Do you think that this plane crash was an accident?”“Are you planning to take your relationship with Nathaniel Ferguson further?”......Countless reporters blocked the entrance of the hospital with their cameras flashing.The bodyguards formed a protective circle around them, shielding Nicole and Kai in the center.The crowd was overwhelming, and Kai was getting slightly impatient with all these reporters. Having lived in the spotlight for so long, Kai knew that these people woul
Mitchell followed Eric from behind, carrying his suitcase. He looked at his boss’ despondent and cold figure and could not help but remind him in trepidation.“President, Lee’s phone…”Lee, the driver following behind them, watched in trepidation as his few-hundred-dollar phone was almost crushed in Eric’s hand.Mitchell was familiar with Nicole’s number, so Eric found a random number to call her.After all, Eric had saved her, so something should have changed between them.Who knew that once Nicole heard his name, she would hang up the phone without hesitation?Eric’s face was glum as he deleted the call record and threw the phone back to Mitchell. Eric had such an unapproachable aura about him.Mitchell gave the phone back to the driver, Lee, then quickly caught up to Eric.“President, the famous painter Mr. Wilheim invited you to attend the soft opening of his fine art exhibition restaurant this evening…”Stanton Mansion.Nicole hummed a tune while picking out an outfit fo
Nicole’s body instinctively stiffened for a moment. It was too late to avoid him.Eric Ferguson had already walked in front of her with big strides.He took out the photo from his pocket. His brow was slightly furrowed as he stared intently at the painting on the wall.It was exactly the same.His face was pale. “How did…”Mr. Wilheim glanced at the photo in Eric’s hand and said in a nonchalant voice, “Oh, so it was you who stole my photo...”Eric’s face was sullen. He swept a glance at Nicole, but she deliberately did not look at him.Nicole’s light makeup was exquisite. Her long pink dress outlined her perfect figure in all the right places and made her look so stunning. She did not look as cold as usual, but softer. She was so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off her.Eric’s gaze darkened slightly. “Mr. Wilheim, this photo…”“Yup, I took this photo. This girl dragged you out of that place while I was drinking coffee across the street. This is one of my most satisfy
Nathaniel subconsciously took a step back. He still did not have the guts to go against Eric.Even so, he braced himself and said, “She... She willingly said so! Uncle Eric, you can’t just separate lovebirds…”As soon as he said that, Nathaniel’s entire body was picked up and shoved against the wall. His scalp was tingling, and his back was in severe pain.As an explorer, Nathaniel had a much better physique than the average person, but in the face of Eric Ferguson, he simply became a weak little boy who could not fight back.His dignity was trampled under Eric’s feet!Eric glared at him coldly without the slightest regard for kinship. His actions were firm and ruthless.“Nathaniel Ferguson, if you have a death wish, just say so. I’ll gladly grant it…”Mitchell hurriedly stepped forward. “President, there’s still room for discussion. Young Master Nathaniel is just joking! How could Ms. Stanton be attracted to him?”Nathaniel was talked down to, but there was still defiance in h
Nicole raised an eyebrow and watched as Nathaniel got out of the car looking like he was accepting a death sentence with open arms.Nathan walked over to Eric’s low-profile and expensive Cayenne that he drove today. The collision caused quite a lot of damage.On the contrary, his Jeep Grand Cherokee was unharmed in the slightest.However, Nathaniel had not figured out how exactly they collided in the first place.In this scenario, Nathaniel did look like the guilty party...Usually, this kind of issue could be settled with some money, but since the other party was Eric Ferguson, this would not be an easy feat.Eric’s dark eyes stared at Nathaniel. He said with a compelling chill in his voice, “Should we go by proceedings or settle this privately?”Nathaniel pursed his lips. ‘Do I even have a choice?’ “P-Proceedings…”Eric’s gaze was indifferent as he took out his phone. “Then I’ll get your father.”Nathaniel’s expression stiffened. He quickly stopped Eric. “Don’t! Uncle Eric
Nicole did not get to jump out of the car. She just sat there and cast a sidelong glance at Eric. Her gaze was as cold as the cold wind in the night.‘Remarry him?! Bloody impossible!’Nicole did not like Eric’s proposal, not even as a joke.Eric’s eyes were deep and dark, blending into the night.“Why did you lie to me that it wasn’t you? The woman in the photo is clearly you…”‘Why won’t you admit it? Why won’t you admit that you saved me?’ Eric thought.The moment Eric confirmed that it was Nicole, he felt indescribably relaxed and vaguely happy.Nicole laughed. “So what if it’s me? What can you do with this knowledge?”She had him at a loss.‘Yeah, what could I do...?’At that moment, Eric’s expression was clearly stagnant. The corners of his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.Eric, who had always been calm and steady, seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.Nicole hooked her lips into a faint smile. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, “Mr. Ferguson,
Eric walked up to the ticket counter. His outstanding handsome features soon became the focal point. The attendant blushed and recommended him some romantic comedies.He did not care much for it and chose the movie with the closest showtime.When he glanced to the side, he saw the couple next to him holding a large bucket of popcorn and a Coke and frowned slightly.Nicole was bored sitting on the side with her chin propped up on her hand as she scrolled through her phone.She was looking at the group chat messages, where Yvette and Julie were discussing where they should go for a ski trip.Nicole wanted to give some inputs, but if they found out that she was out at the movies with Eric Ferguson, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.Next to her, a college-looking guy came over with a shy face.“Excuse me, Miss. May I ask if you’re from U of A? Which department are you in?”Nicole was stunned. ‘Right… U of A is just nearby…’She instantly felt a little giddy with
