The netizens watching the live stream were very sharp-eyed to spot this and exploded into a clamor. [Mikayla’s injury is fake!][Mikayla faked her injury! When she was with Nicole, it was the right foot, with Fabian, it was the left foot, then with Nathaniel, it changed back to the right foot again! Was it because she was too tired of limping? Hahaha…][Did Mikayla get the role of the sad little b*tch? She really knows how to dramatize everything!][This is an adventure program. Mikayla didn’t participate at all and even slowed the others down. I finally understand why Nicole wanted to change her teammate so badly after the first game...][I apologize for thinking that Nicole had a bad temper towards that fake b*tch earlier!]......After the program was over, it was already dark outside when Nicole got home.Demi and the driver sent Nicole back to the Stanton Mansion. Nicole was grimy and sleeping soundly in the car when they arrived. Kai could not bear to wake her up, so he
Nathaniel let out a light laugh.“Miles was just dumped by his girlfriend who even made him bankrupt. That girl even cheated on him with a rich businessman, so he only said that she died because he’s still angry about it.”Nicole was speechless.‘How ruthless!’Ferguson Corporation.The people inside the meeting room trembled as they listened to the reports from the department heads. They were all afraid that President Ferguson would be dissatisfied and make an example out of them.The air in the room was cold and heavy. It was the Investment Department’s turn, so the head of the department, Henry Yates, presented their progress.Henry Yates had just been promoted and had not achieved anything particularly outstanding thus far. Thus, if he wanted to sit firmly in this position, he needed to be valued by President Ferguson.He coughed and felt inexplicably excited with his proposal, so he spoke with confidence.“President, our Investment Department has recently been studying
Mitchell followed Eric to the President’s Office. His scalp felt numb from Eric’s icy gaze.“President...”“This is the result of your arrangements?”Eric’s voice was magnetic and condensed without the slightest warmth.Mitchell sheepishly explained.“President, for Young Master Nathaniel’s variety show, not only has the Stanton family shown support, but even Old Master Ferguson gave notice to the relevant media, so…”Eric’s gaze was dark and deep.“Since that’s the case, then Ferguson Corporation has to be the sole investor, understand?”Mitchell immediately responded, “Understood, this can definitely be done.”“Since I’m investing in this show, I want to pay them a visit and experience it for myself.”Eric spoke in a cool and calm tone as he picked up the coffee on the side and took a sip.Mitchell nodded, then looked up again in shock.He took the fastest time to digest this fact.“Yes, of course. You will appear as a mysterious guest. I believe that will definitely bri
Quinn was chided by Old Master Ferguson, so she froze in place.Her status in the family was low, to begin with. Since that incident where she helped Ingrid to steal Old Master Ferguson’s emerald pipe, Quinn had been living in constant fear of getting kicked out of the family.Quinn did not know where Ingrid was sent to, so now, she did not even have a person to talk to.When she was scolded by Old Master Ferguson, Eric just stood by and watched without saying a word. His cold eyes made her feel more uncomfortable.Thus, her hatred for Nicole only deepened.Eric paused and instructed Mitchell, who was standing on the side.“Send Madam back to the villa. There’s no need for her to attend the dinner this evening.”Quinn completely froze in place.Old Master Ferguson also nodded. “That’s good too. We can’t lose this chance to make up with the Stanton family.”They did not ask about Quinn’s opinion at all.Quinn was exasperated by Eric’s attitude. When she left, her face was very
Old Master Ferguson smiled. “We feel bad about how we treated Nicole in the past. If there’s an opportunity, we’ll like to make it up to her.”Floyd waved his hand. “It’s alright, they’re just clueless kids. The past is in the past, and Nicole doesn’t care about it anymore, so we don’t need to take it to heart. Just get along normally.”“Clueless…” Eric repeated in a whisper. His dark eyes flickered slightly, then he curled the corners of his lips. “Yes, we should get along normally.”Eric raised his eyes to look at Nicole and gave her a suggestive smile.Noticing the scorching gaze from across the room, Nicole subconsciously looked up and saw that Eric had been staring at her with smiling, gentle eyes.‘What’s he smiling at?’Nicole choked a little and instantly lost her appetite.She put down the cutlery in her hand and rolled her eyes at him.Somehow, the man opposite her did not get angry. Instead, his smile deepened.Eric saw how vexed and restrained Nicole was and sudden
Nicole took her phone, looked down at it, and was so furious that she could not speak.Eric unblocked himself on her phone and even changed his name to “Life Saver”.He was really thick-skinned.Was he trying to make her feel bad if she wanted to delete his number?Nicole bit her lower lip, not wanting to talk to him anymore, and turned to leave. Eric followed her without haste. He matched her pace as if he was her shadow.When they reached the entrance of the restaurant, Eric suddenly said, “Nicole, I’ll teach you to swim.”Eric still remembered that after the plane crash, when he could not find her in the vast ocean, Kai told him that she could not swim.On that variety show when Nicole saw that Miles Kavanagh was underwater for too long, that panic and fear Nicole felt were not from her concern for Miles, but because of her phobia of water.How could Nicole, who had always been such a competitive person, not know how to swim?Eric wanted to teach her so that she would be
Three years ago, Eric Ferguson only had eyes for Wendy Quade.Why would he care about what the person he casually saved looked like?Eric simply did not bother.‘So, Nicole can’t swim because she almost drowned?’Eric had a complicated expression. His deep eyes were as dark as ink with a depressing gloom.“I’m sorry…”All those words that he wanted to say only turned into these two simple words.Nicole thought that it was funny and laughed.“You should be sorry. You didn’t think that those fighters would come for revenge after I rescued you from the underground fight club, right? That they’d come to me for vengeance?”This sentence made Eric’s face turn shockingly ugly like he was struck by lightning.He looked at her with intense emotions and grabbed her arm.“What did you say?”‘Why is he so surprised?’Nicole did not understand and laughed nonchalantly. Since it had come to this, it was better to make things clear.It did not matter who saved whom at this point, beca
Nicole was really going crazy. ‘Why is Eric Ferguson pestering me like an annoying fly that can’t be swatted away?!’She wanted to scold him for being unreasonable.Eric held her wrist tightly. His voice was cold and resolute.“Nicole, whether you believe it or not, I really regret it. If... If I can have another chance…”Nicole sharply interrupted him. The pain in her eyes could no longer be suppressed.“Eric Ferguson, I’ve been getting nightmares about those things in the past for all these years. Ever since I met you, I haven’t had a single day of happiness and joy. I don’t regret saving you, but please, I’m begging you to let go of the past and stop talking about it.”Whether or not Eric regretted his past actions were of no help to Nicole’s three years of suffering. It was even a little laughable.Eric’s body stiffened abruptly. He was so shaken by Nicole’s fractured voice and the pain in her eyes that he could not bear to look straight at her.Those pains were all brought
