Nicole thought, ‘I see, so that’s how it is… He’s already a shareholder, huh? I just didn’t expect Eric Ferguson had set his eyes on the field of artificial intelligence for so long.’If Gerard Lichman did not take the initiative to tell Nicole this, Nicole would not have been able to find out. The fact that he told her this information also proved that he genuinely wanted to cooperate with her.Although Nicole was not happy about Eric’s involvement, she had a clear mind and separated her personal affairs and business well. She would not give up on this opportunity.Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled. “With Ferguson Corporation’s strength, you can very well enjoy the fruits of this cooperation by yourself. Why do you need a third party to get involved?”She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Eric.“After all, this is a brand new field that no one’s involved in, so Ferguson Corporation cannot take this risk alone.”The man’s voice was deep and clear. The corners of his li
When Nicole heard her name, she froze for a moment. She did not want to have anything to do with Eric Ferguson, but this situation was out of her control and she felt everyone’s eyes on her at this moment.The awkward relationship between them after their divorce added to the mystery of this coincidental cooperation.Eric also did not expect this. Without a doubt, this was Gerard’s doing.Nicole was still in a pickle when Eric walked to her. He was exuding a cool aura as he bent slightly and reached out, inviting Nicole to the dance floor.Everyone’s eyes were focused on the pair.There was no way Nicole could reject Eric’s invitation because she did not want to leave a negative impact at the beginning of their three-way cooperation.Grant gave his baby sister a heartfelt look. Nicole smiled faintly, then stretched out her hand to take Eric’s.The people in front of them consciously made way for the pair. Nicole carried her dress with her other hand and walked forward without lo
The lights flickered.Nicole gently shook the glass of wine and stood in front of the railing on the second floor. She watched the pretentious exchange of pleasantries of the people below.Eric, who was walking over not far away, looked up at that instant and suddenly met Nicole’s clear and cold gaze.Nicole faintly retracted her gaze and ignored the discomfort in her heart. That kiss on the dance floor earlier made the crowd gasp. No one cared which of them actually made the wrong move at the end of the dance. They were just waiting for a good show to happen between the ex-couple.Any reaction on either of them would lead to endless speculation.Thus, at the moment their lips touched, Nicole instantly turned her face to the side. Fortunately, the music stopped and she drew back in time. She glanced coldly at Eric and turned away without looking back.Keith was joking with several people around Eric. After sending them away, he let out a sigh of relief and looked at Eric, who had
Ian Carter looked extremely shocked. He caught onto the main point. “Kiss your brother? Haha...stop daydreaming. Nicole’s not crazy or stupid, so why would she look for a f*ckboy?”“If you don’t believe me, ask anyone here. Everyone saw it!” Ingrid argued.Her friends hesitantly nodded their heads.Ian dismissed them without a second thought. “Why should I ask the people you’re colluding with? Do you think I’m dumb?”Ingrid’s face turned red with anger. “It’s true anyway! Nicole, you don’t dare admit it? My brother only cares about Wendy. You exist only because you can give her a blood transfusion. Stop your wishful thinking that you can still marry into our family. We will never accept you!”She knew that Wendy was a thorn in Nicole’s heart. Every time this name was mentioned, it made Nicole feel twice as desperate.However, in front of others, Nicole faintly hooked her lips and laughed lightly. She coldly swept a glance at the girls behind Ingrid.“The whole world knows about
Eric Ferguson did not bother to look at Nicole’s expression and walked straight to Ingrid. His face was inexplicably cold.“Was everything you just said true?” He asked with gritted teeth.Ingrid was a little flustered. She bit her lower lip and did not know how to respond.She grew up around her parents and was not close to her brother, who grew up abroad. After Eric returned to the country, he became a first-class business whiz in the industry and expanded the Ferguson family’s wealth by hundreds of times. This made Ingrid insufferably arrogant.“Answer me!” Eric saw Ingrid’s hesitation and forced her to speak.A crisp, cold scoff came from the left side behind him. Without a thought, he knew that it was Nicole who was laughing.“Mr. Ferguson, it’s all true.”As soon as Nicole admitted it, the surrounding people looked at these two people with a complicated gaze. They did not expect that behind Nicole’s bright and beautiful exterior was such an ugly and miserable past.After
Nicole sneered and looked at Ingrid Ferguson with a cold gaze. She lowered her eyelids slightly and said, “Ms. Ferguson, are you trying to embarrass me by bringing out this ugly past over and over again? Mind you, I’m not embarrassed. Your family should be embarrassed for treating their daughter-in-law like a maid. I wonder who will ever dare to marry into your family again...”“Anyway, you’re not worthy of being a Ferguson! Nicole, you were clearly trying to seduce my brother earlier. Aren’t you gonna admit it?”Ingrid was adamant that Nicole was deliberately seducing her brother with that kiss earlier. ‘Nicole wants me to apologize?!’Ingrid was resentful and thought, ‘Why can Nicole be so arrogant? Why didn’t my brother back me up?’“Ms. Ferguson, you actually think that I want to seduce Mr. Ferguson?”Nicole laughed lightly. She was never one to beat around the bush and had always gone straight to the point.‘Seduce? I don’t think I’m cheap enough to do this!’That kiss at
Ian Carter glanced sideways at Eric Ferguson. He smiled smugly and recklessly as if he was mocking Eric’s current situation.‘Look at him! Even Eric Ferguson will end up like this…’Keith Ludwig finally caught up to Eric. He followed Eric’s gaze and saw Nicole’s departing back. “Tsk tsk… Ferg, since you’re already divorced, don’t regret it. This is all that woman’s cheap tricks anyway.” Eric cast a sidelong glance at him and said, “Do I need you to teach me how to do things?”Keith suddenly felt a chill on his back and did not dare to speak for a while.‘That woman humiliated Eric in front of everyone. Even I feel like dying from anger, so let alone Eric! Although what Ingrid said was indeed a little overboard, that woman asked for it since she begged to marry Eric in the first place! Was it not her own fault then?’When Nicole first entered the hall, many came over to mingle with her perhaps because of her position in the Stanton Corporation or because of the drama tonight.Si
Ingrid Ferguson’s face stiffened. She screamed and saw that a cup of cold water had been splashed on her face and body.Nicole gently put down the decorative bottle at the sink and dusted her hands. Her gaze was calm as she said, “You asked for this.”“Nicole, how dare you…”Ingrid was so angry that her face flushed red. She was shivering. The dress she wore was from Dior’s off-the-rack collection. Although it was not as luxurious as Nicole’s custom-made dress, it still had an eight-figure price tag. Many celebrities did not even qualify to look at it, but now it was ruined!Nicole smirked. Her smile did not reach her eyes. “Do you really think that I’ll put up with you like before? If you dare provoke me again, I’ll teach you a lesson and settle both the new and old accounts together!”Ingrid shuddered when she saw a penetrating coldness in Nicole’s eyes. She could not help but feel frightened.However, she no longer wanted to think so much at this moment. She was the Young Lady
