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
Nicole stood there, drew back her hand, and rolled her eyes at Eric.“Hah! Mysterious guest? Had I known that Ferguson Corporation is investing in this program, I wouldn’t have given Niel that hundred million.”What a waste!Eric raised his eyebrows and deliberately lowered his voice as if he was whispering to her.“Then I’ll have him return it to you.”‘Who wants your stupid money!’ Nicole thought.Eric saw that she was ignoring him and coughed slightly.“This is all arranged by the program team. You won’t be a spoilsport just because of our relationship, right?”Nicole glanced at him indifferently.She hooked her lips and said, “Sorry, Mr. Ferguson, you can’t influence me anymore. Don’t be too presumptuous to get close to me, and don’t disturb me from making money... To sponsor young hunks!”Eric’s face stiffened slightly. The corners of his lips twitched, and he stopped speaking to her.Even if he was angered by her words, he had no choice but to endure it since he was th
Mikayla’s face was extremely ugly. She felt so aggrieved and ashamed when Nathaniel exposed her thoughts.“I... I accidentally stepped on my dress and fell!”Nathaniel stretched his tone. “Oh…”No one believed her.Nicole was speechless, but she just wanted to quickly complete the task and did not want to stay here.She proposed. “Do you want to change your clothes?”Mikayla nodded and hurriedly stood up.Miles spoke cautiously. “You didn’t twist your ankle and want me to carry you again, right? I recently twisted my back…”Mikayla’s face instantly flushed red.Miles was simply humiliating her for pretending in the last episode.She looked at Eric, who did not even care about her. It looked like he also knew that she fell on him on purpose.The look of disgust in his eyes also made Mikayla extremely embarrassed.She was just a clown after all her hard work and effort.Who would have thought that Eric would choose not to catch her from behind and would kick her upstairs ins
Eric raised his eyebrows. “I’m going to look here too.”He pretended to open a cabinet. Nicole glared at him, ignored him, and continued to flip through the things.Out of the corner of his eyes, Eric saw a small, inconspicuous box on top of the cabinet.Nicole tiptoed and was just about to reach it.Just before she could hold it steady, the box fell.It was too late to dodge. Nicole saw that it was about to smash on her forehead and closed her eyes tightly. Her heart sank.‘Ugh! What bad luck!’However, the expected pain did not happen. Instead, a large, slightly cool hand with a faint scent of cologne covered her head and blocked her eyes.Nicole could feel the dull thud of the box falling and hitting the back of Eric’s hand, but he did not flinch.At that moment, her heart felt like it had been hit by that box and fluttered slightly.Eric removed his hand. His voice was magnetic and mellow.“Luckily it didn’t hit you...”He handed the box in his hand to her. “I don’t thi
Mikayla froze in place and felt extremely embarrassed. to the extreme.Anyone could see what she was up to, but that man did not give her a chance.The director immediately responded and rewarded Mikayla with the right to lead the next game.The online comments were relentless.[I feel like Mikayla’s on a roll after her fall, but Mr. Ferguson just cut her off!][Crippled Mikayla’s so dumb that it’s kinda funny…][Everyone’s chatting and having fun. Goddess Nicole is the only one who’s serious about the treasure hunt, but she didn’t find anything. Poor bb…][Am I the only one who thinks that Mr. Ferguson is longing for Goddess Nicole? His eyes are just too gentle when he looks at her!]......Everyone went to the next destination according to the treasure map that Mikayla found.On the road.Nathaniel leaned in close to Eric and snickered.“Uncle Eric, how can you just cheat like that? You just change the program without consulting anyone!”The director could not even say n
Nicole was not afraid of heights but seeing the bottom of such a deep cliff still made her heart tremble involuntarily.When walking up to the hot air balloon, she could feel her legs shaking.Besides the two professional explorers like Nathaniel and Miles, most of the others had the same reaction as Nicole.Eric was calm and steady, without much emotion.The cliff felt bottomless, and the lush woods felt like an abyss. The feeling of being suspended in the air felt like they were stepping on the clouds, wobbly and extremely unstable.Fortunately, the security measures in place were very solid. Otherwise, Nicole would not even take a step!Nicole swore to herself that she would stay away from Nathaniel in the future!The cameraman did not follow them and only relied on the participants’ cameras and drones to film.No one knew if Mikayla was really afraid or if she was faking it, but her face was pale as she held the railing and screamed. Her screams made everyone’s fear disappe
Mikayla’s face stiffened because Nicole had already said the third answer in advance.She looked at Eric’s face, which had already turned so ugly and gloomy. The chill in his eyes was so oppressive as he glared intently at Nicole, seemingly struggling to restrain his emotions.Nicole smiled. “I don’t need to jump, right?”Mikayla immediately regained her composure. “No need. The next question is for Mr. Ferguson.”She looked at Eric with some excitement.“If you were to choose one of the two ladies present to be your girlfriend…”A smug triumphant light seemed to shine in Mikayla’s eyes.After experiencing such an insult from Nicole, how could any normal man still choose her?There were only two women present, Nicole and Mikayla!As long as Mikayla and Eric’s names appeared together, then she would not have come to this variety show in vain.Before Mikayla could finish her sentence, Eric looked gloomy as he said in a cold and restrained voice.“I choose Nicole.”After that,
Eric did not know whether Nicole heard him or not because she did not have any reaction.The rope just bounced them back and forth, up and down…Nicole’s body gradually adapted to this motion, and the panic she felt gradually faded away.When she opened her eyes again to look at him, her eyes were only filled with anger and coldness!After going back up, Nathaniel and the group hurriedly came to them, concerned.“Nikki, are you okay?”“How are you? Do you feel dizzy?”Eric was isolated on the side.Everyone knew that Eric did this on purpose, so no one comforted him.Nicole was the innocent party after all!Even Mikayla just stood there and looked at those two people silently.She did not know what just happened.Nicole shook her head with a miserably pale face. She could not speak for a moment and only felt a little nauseous in the stomach.Her eyebrows knitted together. “Can this be over?”Nathaniel paused and looked at the expressionless Eric on the side who looked a l
