After that, Kai slowly turned around and got into the car without paying any attention to Eric Ferguson again. Mr. Anderson then started the car engine and drove away immediately.Nicole went back home and had a good night’s sleep.The light outside spilled through the curtains onto the ground. It turned out that Tigger had changed the room’s sleep mode into an active mode.Tigger was now lying lazily on the balcony swing. Its four little paws trembled and shrank as it felt scared yet happy.Nicole was woken up by Julie’s phone call in the morning. She fumbled around helplessly for her phone.“Did you and Yvette discuss amongst yourselves to not let me sleep in every day?”Julie’s calm voice had a hint of concern.“You were taken away by Eric Ferguson last night. He didn’t do anything to you, right?”Nicole was jolted awake.“He took me away?”‘Didn’t I get into his car by myself?’“Yeah, Roman, the good-for-nothing, didn’t dare to refuse Eric Ferguson, but I called Kai righ
After Eric Ferguson finished speaking, there was an indescribable and eerie silence in the air.Nicole’s face stiffened, and her expression became extremely unnatural for a moment.Soon, she hooked up the corners of her lips into a faint cold smile.“Much better now. Even my memory has recovered extraordinarily well. I can now remember all the lies you told, Mr. Ferguson…”Nicole did not even bother to cover up anything. She just wanted to tear off Eric Ferguson’s fake face!However, Eric’s reaction was unexpected. He did not have a second of uneasiness and guilt, nor the nervousness and shame after being exposed.His frankness made Nicole look like she was the one being unreasonable.The corners of his lips carried a faint and gentle smile, as if he was being very tolerant and indulgent towards her mockery.“That’s good.”Nicole rolled her eyes and could not help but close her eyes and take a deep breath.Molly Stewart coughed and broke this awkward silence.“Nikki, what di
Everyone’s eyes shifted to Eric. His laughter obviously drew a lot of attention.‘What is he so proud of? What is there to be happy about?!’ Nicole thought.Eric looked relaxed and smiled with pleasure. “Just forget it if you have limited ability…”Molly Stewart was helpless and gave up. Since this was the Great God Maverick’s code, no one could break through his defenses.Nicole gritted her teeth in anger. After such a roundabout, it turned out that her biggest opponent was her elusive second brother?!Tigger’s spirits were lifted. He once again jumped into Eric’s arms. “Papa, you’re awesome and handsome! I love you, Papa!”Nicole glared at Tigger who was in Tigger’s arms. Her eyebrows twitched, and her tone was cold and harsh.“Tigger Stanton! Get back here!”Nicole thought, ‘This tiger is so spineless and completely humiliated me in front of that son of a b*tch Eric Ferguson!’Eric stroked the tiger’s head and said in a gentle and clear voice, “Go back to your mother…”
Eric’s voice was cold, harsh, and deep with suppressed anger.“What’s going on here?”Mitchell trembled in fear. He could barely maintain the courteous smile on his face.“It’s... Ms. Stanton who gave him the money…”Eric’s office fell silent. The air around them had a dense oppressive chill.Mitchell did not dare to breathe freely.Although Mitchell was used to this kind of atmosphere, every time he experienced it, his whole body would shiver.Under Eric’s bone-chilling gaze, Mitchell braced himself and gritted his teeth to speak.“Although we’ve cut off Young Master Nathaniel’s source of funds, he took the money Ms. Stanton gave him and resumed cooperation with many of his partners. I’m afraid that Young Master Nathaniel’s studio won’t go bankrupt for the time being…”Eric was silent for a few seconds before he sneered.“He really has the audacity to take a woman’s money?”Mitchell hung his head and thought, ‘Of course! After all, it’s $100 million…’If Eric knew that the
The staff on one side heard this and desperately tried to signal the gossiping actresses to keep quiet. Unfortunately, the two small-time actresses were too immersed in their own world to notice.Nicole never had the habit of holding her tongue.She put down her phone, stood up, and turned around, staring straight at them with a clear and cold gaze.There was a hint of indifference in her lazy voice, “I’m the sponsor of this event. If you have questions about the seating plan, you can go ahead and complain about it…”Anyway, the complaint would end up with Dominic Young. Nicole was quite curious to see whether these two D-listers could continue their career in showbiz.The two starlets were stunned when they saw that it was Nicole. When they heard her words, their faces stiffened for a moment.Under the light, their heavily powdered faces became even paler.They stood up in a panic from several rows away. Their voices were flustered. “No, no... We didn’t mean that. We just didn’
There was dead silence all around.Nicole did not care if Eric’s compliment was sincere.Did she need him to tell her that she was beautiful?However, for a split second, Eric’s words did cause Nicole’s heart to tremble slightly.Her stance was still unstable. She was stunned for a moment and almost got sucked into Eric’s sweet talk.Fortunately, she reacted in time. ‘This son of a b*tch can’t seduce me! I won’t fall for it!’Countless celebrity bigwigs could not help but secretly give Nicole a thumbs up when they heard her reply.This was a classic snide remark from President Nicole. A standard “thank you” could have answered this, but Nicole’s answer was the best.The next moment, the music started, and the awards ceremony began.Nicole was arranged to present an award to Fabian. Thus, as soon as the nominations for the “Most Promising Newcomer” award were announced, Nicole prepared to go onstage.There were usually two “Most Promising Newcomer” awards, one of which was F
Eric’s speech was lame, but everyone still gave him warm applause out of courtesy.Nicole rolled her eyes in her heart, but she maintained a gracious and polite smile on her face.When it came time to present the award, Eric took the trophy and certificate from the attendant on the side and presented them to Mikayla.Mikayla was very nervous because the person giving her the award was Eric Ferguson.How could she not be moved?Eric Ferguson was a business magnate that could shake the business world with a stomp of his feet. Mikayla thought that if she could get in Eric’s good graces, then she would no longer have to worry about attending any other social events or private dinners for the sake of her career...Mikayla carefully accepted the certificate and trophy handed to her by Eric and mustered all the courage she had. Her face was delicate and shy, with some hesitation and anticipation in her eyes.“Thank you, Mr. Ferguson. I’ve heard a lot about you. I hope that we can work
Nicole had planned to go on a ski trip with Yvette and Julie, but she was pestered by Nathaniel several times. He wanted her to participate in some adventure variety show that he was producing and participating in.Nicole was not interested in it because she was enjoying her best life, so why make things difficult for herself?She was also never one to willingly put herself in challenging situations!However, Nathaniel came hounding at the Stanton Mansion’s door time and time again, so regularly that he was pretty much living at their house. Floyd and Kai were annoyed at Nathaniel’s persistence, so they urged Nicole to just participate in the show.Kai even lent his personal crew to Nicole, including his assistant, make-up artist, and driver, so Nicole did not have to worry about anything.At this moment, Nicole was leaning back in a rocking chair with an umbrella overhead shading her from the hot sun. Nicole closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm breeze and nice weather.The make-
