Chapter 462 Own Mines
Eli Harrison smiled. “Bro, this is my youngest daughter. She’s been living abroad, so she’s quite shy since she has never attended these events before. Don’t laugh at her.”Eric smiled faintly without much emotion.Nicole sized up Ivy Harrison. Looking at her demeanor, Ivy did not look like she grew up abroad.Noticing Nicole’s gaze, Ivy glanced at her and quickly bowed her head.Since Nicole knew what this father and daughter pair had in mind, she did not need to stay any longer.Nicole smiled and patted Eric’s shoulder.“Mr. Ferguson, you guys talk. I’ll get something to eat.”Before Eric could stop her, Eli Harrison laughed loudly.“Take care, Ms. Stanton.”With a faint smile, Nicole turned around and left.Many people around saw this scene. Nicole’s departing back looked so lonely, which inevitably made others pity her.She took a slice of cake and sat down in a corner. A man sat down beside her.It was Clayton.He loosened his tie and looked helpless. “I’m sorry for l
Chapter 463 Give Up on Nicole
Ivy Harrison said, “Mr. Ferguson, it’s really nice to meet you.”She knew that the woman who was prettier than most celebrities earlier was Eric Ferguson’s ex-wife. That woman was truly more dazzling in person.Nicole and Eric’s entanglement was buzzing on the internet, but Ivy did not mind.Since they were already divorced, there was nothing to worry about.Although Ivy could not compare with that woman in terms of family background, she was willing to bow down and obey him as long as she could marry him.In her opinion, no man liked women who were too powerful.Ivy’s initiative to greet Eric received no response.When she looked up, she saw that Eric’s cold gaze was always focused in one direction, at Nicole and Clayton.Ivy gritted her teeth and took a step forward.“I’ll push you to rest elsewhere?”Before her hand touched his wheelchair, Eric spoke in an icy voice, “Don’t touch me.”Her hand paused mid-air.Eric’s tone was indifferent and devoid of warmth.“No one is
Chapter 464 Inordinate Ambition
Old Master Ferguson said, “Don’t waste your efforts on Nicole anymore. She has scandals with male celebrities left and right, and now even a scandal with Clayton Sloan. Which family can accept such a woman that has more scandals than you? If she really marries into our family, how can we still command respect from others?”Eric’s gaze swept over Ivy Harrison, who was standing obediently at the side. The cold light in his eyes pierced her like a knife.Ivy was nervous and did not know what she had done wrong.She wanted to take a closer look at his eyes, but he had already shifted his gaze.Was it disappointment or joy?Eric’s thin lips were pursed. His complexion was dark and unsightly.“If you want a marriage alliance, you can marry her yourself. Nicole is my only choice.”After that, Eric hung up the phone. His body was exuding a dense chill.The surrounding people who wanted to exchange pleasantries with Eric dared not approach him.Seeing that he hung up the phone, Ivy Har
Chapter 465 Steal His Heart
Ivy Harrison hung her head. Her face was flushed red.“M-Mr. Ferguson likes Ms. Stanton. I can’t help it…”How could Ivy possibly compare with Nicole Stanton?Ivy was a speck of dust, while Nicole was the sun.Joy Harrison snorted coldly.“Can’t help it? Isn’t your mother a mistress? Did she not impart you some skills before she died? If he doesn’t like you, can’t you find other ways to steal his heart?”Joy shoved Ivy, who fell back against the wall. Her head hit the wall and made a dull sound.She was such a pity.Nicole stood there and felt some sympathy for Ivy Harrison, but this feeling quickly disappeared.‘What does it have to do with me anyway?’ Nicole thought.In the next second, Nicole heard Ivy’s scream. “My clothes!”Joy’s gaze was cold as she took the cleaner’s bucket on the side that was filled with water and poured it over Ivy.Joy felt resentful and satisfied.Ivy was completely drenched in dirty water. She stood there miserably, leaning against the wall as
Chapter 466 We’re Not Familiar
Ivy Harrison was drenched and shivering. That pitiful look was really unbearable.The air was silent for a moment.Keith breathed a long sigh of relief. ‘Luckily, it’s not directed at me…’Eric’s gaze was cold and heavy. His eyes were not at all focused in the direction of that woman.His thin lips were tightly pursed. His face was dark and cold, but his expression had a hint of sadness. His soul was long gone with a certain someone.The banquet hall was lively with laughter.Who could have known that such a scene happened at this place?Keith subconsciously touched Eric’s back and wondered what he should do.Eric frowned slightly. Keith coughed.“Ferg, look at this…”Ivy Harrison’s sobs were incessant as she looked at Eric mournfully.Eric’s voice was icy cold.“This is your party. Don’t ask me.”Keith froze. “No, but wasn’t she just with you?”Eric cast a warning glance at Keith.“We’re not familiar.”With that, Eric wheeled himself away without an expression, leaving
Chapter 467 The Start of a New Relationship
Before Nicole could say anything, she watched out of the corner of her eye as Ivy Harrison quickly went upstairs with Keith’s suit jacket draped over her.The way Ivy scurried away was really quite pathetic, but no one noticed.Nicole looked at Eric with a calm face. His eyes were dark like ink.She suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest, but she took a deep breath. After the pain eased, she spoke in a low voice, “Eric Ferguson, I don’t want to torture you. I want you to be relieved sooner.”Her voice was light, calm, and serious.“It’s not that I haven’t thought about our relationship during this time. Mr. Ferguson, thank you for the efforts you’ve put into me, but... I’m sorry. I just can’t fathom being with you again.”Nicole was overly calm as she spoke.Eric’s face was extremely cold. His eyes were still and his body was tense. His fingers were white from clenching the armrest tightly.Somehow, Nicole also felt a twitch of pain, but it was just for a short moment. She
Chapter 468 Interest First
Once Clayton’s words fell, the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became silent.The silence entwined with the light breeze.Nicole paused in her footsteps and looked at him quietly.Her eyes were slightly cold.Clayton waited for a few seconds and did not get an answer, so he naturally did not let the situation become awkward.He chuckled and said, “You didn’t mishear me, and I won’t take back my words.”His gaze was serious and frank. His tone was relaxed.“As I said before, I’m very happy for you to take me as your new love to deal with Mr. Ferguson and the others. It’s not out of courtesy, Ms. Stanton. It’s more so my feelings for you…”Clayton curled his lips into a decent smile that was not too humble nor too arrogant.Nicole’s eyes flashed with a trace of incomprehension and bewilderment.“Did this matter cause you to have some misunderstanding? I didn’t mean to…”“Of course, I know that you won’t deliberately create trouble and hype about this. I just thoug
Chapter 469 Let Her Stay
Lil Michael looked at the dog that was as tall as he was and felt that it looked stupid and ugly.“Pets aren’t allowed on planes!”Eric glanced at him and smirked. “My private jet allows it.”Lil Michael paused for a moment and suddenly felt that he was outclassed. No way!He shook Nicole’s hand and looked at her with a firm gaze.“Pretty Lady, when I get back home, I’ll order you a plane made of gold and studded with precious gems!”‘I can’t let my pretty lady be lured by Mean Mister!’The corners of Nicole’s lips stiffened. She smiled at Lil Michael.“No, I don’t like planes.”Lil Michael let out a very dejected “oh” and felt disappointed because it was yet another day that he did not successfully give his pretty lady a gift.When everyone walked out of the hotel, the husky suddenly barked.“Woof!”At the same time, Nicole saw the woman standing in front of the hotel, shivering from the cold.She was very familiar. It was Ivy Harrison.Ivy was still wearing Keith’s suit
