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-
Mikayla also seemed to be a little surprised, but the filming could not be stopped, so naturally, she could not back out.Besides, it was also live-streamed!The three men were very satisfied with the result.They thought that they would be able to win this round without any woman holding them back.Nicole did not say a word. Anyway, her goal was just to pass the checkpoint. She did not care whether she won or not.It was a pity that during the shooting process, their assistants could not follow them. Only the cameraman was there to do the filming and he would not provide any help.Nicole took the tools and the backpack provided, then took the map and went separate ways from the guys.She looked down and focused on the route. There was a mountain path and a water route. Nicole and Mikayla got the map with the mountain path.Mikayla walked behind Nicole. She looked at Nicole’s back with unconcealed envy in her eyes.She had been in showbiz for so many years, yet she only got th
The grass and trees in the forest were wild and tall, with huge canopies of leaves shading the sky. Occasionally, some sunlight sprinkled through the leaves. It was vibrant and soothing.The path was very rugged, so it took a lot of effort to walk through.They had to reach the scheduled checkpoint before dark, where they would be given some supplies. Otherwise, they would have to sleep on the rocks.Thus, Nicole was not in the mood to play along with Mikayla at this time.However, Mikayla was still relentlessly trying to add frills to the situation.“Ms. Nicole, I just thought that you and Nathaniel have gone through so many hardships together, so you must have some feelings for each other. I don’t mean anything else…”Mikayla’s cautious look was annoying Nicole.Nicole stopped a dozen meters away on the path that was covered up by trees and looked back at Mikayla.Mikayla did not expect Nicole to suddenly stop, so she subconsciously stumbled a step back and stood firm.She w
