“The most outrageous thing is that she even forgot to give Mr. Ferguson his medicine yesterday and made him take double the dose this morning! She must be trying to kill him. That woman is simply too vicious. She probably wants to take revenge on him… Madam, if that woman marries into the family again, she’ll surely bring trouble!”......Eric’s expression changed abruptly. His originally surprised and happy look was gradually replaced by coldness and gloom. A sharp and dangerous haze seemed to coat his face.He did not say anything, but his fingers clutching the wheelchair began to turn white. The veins on his arms bulged as he held himself back.Nicole sat calmly on the steps as if she was listening to some gossip that had nothing to do with her. There was even a faint but cold smile on her face.Her calmness was like a knife that gouged out his heart little by little.Eric thought that by bringing her back, he would be able to make her forget about the ugly past and make some
Lucy thought, ‘Mr. Ferguson wants to send me to the Philippines?! That’d be torture compared with my workload now! Will I still be able to come back? Did he hear what I said on the call earlier?’Her panic spread from the soles of her feet to the top of her head as she trembled.She knew very well how fond Eric was of Nicole now. Eric was also a man of his word.Lucy quickly called Quinn and pleaded in tears.In less than an hour, Quinn rushed over in a rage.She just so happened to bump into Nicole, who was planning to go out shopping.Quinn entered the door fuming. Without a second thought, she pointed at Nicole and scolded, “You vixen! You’re already divorced yet you’re still seducing my son?! We let you reconcile, but you’re pretending to be unhappy and unwilling, yet here you are now! How shameless can you be?”Nicole looked at Quinn with a cold gaze. Sure enough, Quinn was as loathsome as ever!“Mrs. Ferguson, I hope that you’ll be a bit more respectful with your words. D
Quinn went crazy. “Get rid of this woman! I won’t allow you to be together!”Eric reminded her coldly, “You don’t have a say in my affairs.”Quinn gnashed her teeth at him. “You’re my son. How can you disobey me?”Eric’s eyes were calm and indifferent.From the time Eric was sent abroad to receive special training at the age of five, he would call Quinn whenever he was homesick. However, Quinn, who was busy shopping, would just tell him impatiently to bear with it and grow up.Quinn would then tell Old Master Ferguson that Eric secretly called her, so Eric would get a beating in exchange.‘Now that I’m an adult, she thinks that she can control me? How ridiculous!’ Eric’s lips curled as he revealed a bitter and heavy smile.“If you’re kicked out of the Ferguson family, I won’t be your son anymore.”Quinn’s body shook fiercely. Her face instantly turned ashen.Not even in her dreams would Quinn have thought that Eric would say such words.Eric slowly collected the emotions on h
Imperial Gardens.Eric’s face was pallid as he sat in the doorway, looking at the numerous people going back and forth to move Quinn into the ambulance. The noise seemed to be very distant.Was he sad?No, not really.He was just a little shocked.Eric was shocked that Quinn hated Nicole to the point of wanting to murder her.What Eric disregarded in the past had caused that hatred to fester and grow.Mitchell finished with the arrangements and turned around to see Eric sitting in his wheelchair, motionless.His face was dark, cold, and sullen.Even if Eric was injured, the coldness and ferocity that surrounded him did not diminish one bit.Mitchell pursed his lips and walked over with trepidation and worry.“President, don’t worry. The doctor said that she just lost too much blood. There’s no danger to her life.”Eric did not speak, but his dark eyes became darker. Mitchell was unable to see the depths of them.Eric slammed the armrest of the wheelchair and spoke in a dee
Mitchell called his cousin immediately.Less than twenty minutes later.A fat man who looked to be over 100 kg appeared in front of Eric.He had a wide smile which made his eyes squint into a thin line.Eric paused and frowned. His expression was dark and ugly when he looked at Mitchell, who was standing beside his cousin.“Cousin?”Before Mitchell could speak, the fat man’s eyes curved into a smile. He introduced himself with spittle flying everywhere. “You don’t have to be so polite, Mr. Ferguson. There’s no need to call me Cousin. My name is Toto. Don’t worry, you won’t go wrong by choosing me as your butler! One month to reconcile, three months to warm up your feelings for each other, and you two will be remarried within a year!”Toto introduced himself eloquently. He could only appear confident by setting the goal clearly for Eric.Otherwise, he felt that he was very likely to be thrown out!Sure enough, the instant Eric saw Toto, Eric felt like he had gone mad to get per
Within two rings, a cool and detached female voice came through. “Who is this?”“Are you Ms. Stanton? I’m Toto, the new butler in Imperial Gardens. I accidentally messed up your cosmetics when I was cleaning your room earlier. Mr. Ferguson said to throw them all away and buy new ones, but I don’t understand the words on the bottles…”Toto’s tone was quite aggrieved. Nicole’s cold and stern voice interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.“Don’t throw them away! I’ll go back right now. I’ll kill you if you dare to throw my things!”Eric, who was in the study, frowned deeply. He heard the voice outside the door loud and clear.‘That simple?!’Nicole was not short of money or luxury items. Her cosmetics were all high-end formulas specially customized according to her skin and cost seven digits. Where would they buy new ones for her?‘Those two stupid men!’Nicole forgot that she did not want to go back to Imperial Gardens. All she wanted was to rush back and check on her
Mitchell’s cousin, Toto, was dedicated and refused to let go of a chance to get these two people together.Eric looked at Toto with an expressionless face and was speechless.Luca rolled his eyes, not wanting to look at Toto.The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched. “Mr. Ferguson, I see that you’ve changed your criteria for selecting staff, huh?”The people around Eric were the crème de la crème of their fields.Toto did not look like he had any advantages. Based on Eric’s past preferences, Toto would have been eliminated due to his physique. It was very unexpected that he made it as Eric’s butler.The sun really rose from the west!Eric pursed his lips and was about to find an excuse, but Toto just went up and smiled with curved eyes.“Ms. Stanton, I came in through the back door!”Nicole nodded and was very interested. “Whose relative?”Toto squirmed around and said, “I’m Mitchell’s cousin. Don’t tell anyone about this. Otherwise, people will talk. It’s really annoying!”Nic
Nicole sat on the balcony on the second floor, basking in the sunset with a cup of tea next to her.She squinted her eyes and felt a wave of sleepiness. She then heard deliberately lightened footsteps.Nicole frowned. “Toto?”“Ms. Stanton, you’re so smart! You already know it’s me without turning around. Your calm and cool temperament is so different from other women. I prepared some fruit for you. Was today’s dinner still satisfactory?”Toto nervously rubbed his hands with some apprehension in his voice as he continued, “Mr. Ferguson ordered those dinners. I don’t know if they’re to your taste. This is my first day on the job. I don’t want to lose this job because of the dinner. After all, I have a first-class chef license…”The corners of Nicole’s upturned lips stiffened slightly.‘Eric ordered these? I thought it was a coincidence that those are my favorite dishes… How did he know anyway?’Nicole’s heart suddenly felt a little stuffy.The more Eric put his heart into her, th
