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
There was a loud clatter of sounds.The bottles and glasses on the glass table in front of them instantly shattered to pieces. The glass fragments flew everywhere and even got onto the gentry’s face. Drops of blood slid down from the wound on his cheek.The private room was deadly silent and piercing cold.The young gentry was so frightened by this scene that his face turned pale. He dared not utter another word because he already knew that he had said the wrong thing and angered Eric Ferguson!Eric’s eyes were bloodshot. His body exuded such a terrifying cold as he stood up and glared ruthless at the gentry from a condescending position.“Who the hell are you to mention her name?!”Eric’s voice was cold and oppressive.He stepped forward and kicked the gentry on the body without another word. The gentry huddled up in pain and did not move, but cold sweat trickled down his forehead.The surrounding people dared not come to the gentry’s defense. They only got to mingle in this c
The Stanton Mansion front gates.Keith Ludwig was in the car when he gave Nicole a call.Nicole sounded like she was already sleeping because she picked up impatiently.“Who is this?”Keith pursed his lips and replied, “It’s me, Keith Ludwig. Uh... Ferg had one too many drinks and he’s right outside your house. Can you come out for a sec so he can say what he wants to?”There were a few seconds of silence over the phone. Nicole seemed to have woken up.Her voice was calm and deep. “You can take him and get the hell out of my house!”Keith was speechless for a moment.He struggled. “But we’re already here… If you don’t come out, I’ll just leave him at the door. You’re responsible if he freezes to death!”After that, he hung up the phone and patted his chest.Talking to Nicole now needed a lot of courage!Keith dragged Eric out of the car and sat him down at the gates. It was an extremely unmissable spot right in the middle.He was a little torn. “Ferg, I’m doing this for you
There was an emergency at one of Stanton Corporation’s overseas subsidiaries that had to be dealt with immediately.Grant had some urgent business at headquarters, so he could not leave for the moment. Nicole then took on the task and went on Grant’s behalf. In the meantime, she could also get a change of environment.The news that Nicole had left the country reached Eric’s ears an hour later. At that moment, he was drinking a cup of hangover tea in his office.“What?”Eric was shaken and did not care that the tea had spilled on some important documents. He stood up immediately.For some reason, he felt a vague pain in his waist.“She left the country?”Mitchell nodded. “Yes, when I sent a return gift to the Stanton Mansion, it was received by Young Master Kai. He said that Ms. Stanton is leaving the country and may not come back again…”Eric’s face changed drastically. ‘She’s leaving?!’“Where did she go? Which flight did she take?”His heart and mind were in a mess. He was
Nicole’s cold attitude did not cause the slightest dissatisfaction in Eric. Instead, his eyes were so gentle and warm as he stared at her.“No, I’m just asking. It’s fine if you don’t tell me.”Anyway, Eric had plenty of ways to find out.Eugene Lacroix, who was standing next to Nicole, coughed slightly. “Ms. Stanton, your friend?”“No.” Nicole immediately denied it.“Since we’ve settled the issue, would you like to stay back for a few days before leaving?” Eugene suggested.Eric’s gaze turned a few degrees colder. His eyes that were glaring at Eugene carried an indescribable chill.Nicole frowned and shook her head.“Next time. I still have some urgent matters to deal with back home.”“That’s too bad... Have a safe trip home then.”Eugene extended his hand politely. Nicole smiled and shook hands with him before she turned to leave.Eric followed her with big strides.The two of them looked perfect when they stood together. They could be the center of attention wherever the
Nicole wore simple and comfortable casual clothes and very light makeup. Even so, it could not hide her brilliance and charm. She still had such noble and confident temperament. Miles casually waved at her. Fabian politely went over to hug and shake hands with her.Mikayla was wearing a cocktail dress and looked quite stunning. She smiled carefully and was a lot more conscientious after what happened last time.”“Nicole, long time no see…”Nicole smiled politely. It was not too warm or too cold. She just looked at Mikayla’s getup strangely.‘This is an adventure show. Why is she dressed like she’s gonna walk the red carpet? Does she think that netizens are easy to fool?’However, Nicole kept her mouth shut since it was none of her business.They were just here to participate in the show, not to make relationships.Since everyone arrived, the director briefed them and started the live broadcast.Everyone was just waiting for the director to finish his long speech. Even Nathani
Everyone’s eyes turned to Eric in unison.The director introduced very grandly that the purpose of Eric’s visit was mostly to experience the innovative nature of this program.Nathaniel did not believe one word of it. He knew that his uncle was just being pervasive.His business finally survived after so much hardship, but it easily became one of many businesses under Eric’s portfolio.More annoyingly, Nathaniel had to grit his teeth and force himself to thank his “benevolent” Uncle Eric!Nathaniel felt like his chest was so stuffy that he could not breathe.The director smiled brightly and put an opaque box in the middle.“This time, we have six participants, two per group. Those who draw the same color will be a team.”Everyone was just about to draw their cards when the director stopped them.“Mr. Ferguson has a selection card in his hand. Since he’s our mystery guest this time, he has the priority to choose.”Eric stood there, looking tall and upright. His noble and stron
