Eric and Ivy’s intimate embrace at this moment was such an explosive and astonishing image.Those reporters were like hungry wolves hunting for food. They were clicking away at their cameras and filming this scene.Ivy Harrison cowered behind Eric, shivering with fear, looking so pitiful.The reporters did not expect that both Nicole and Eric had new love interests.In the next second, Eric pushed Ivy away like she was a piece of trash stuck to his body. The disgust in his expression was not hidden at all.He did not even care if Ivy was naked in front of the cameras.Eric walked up to the reporters with a sullen and oppressive gaze.His tone was threatening.“I don’t care who told you to come. If a word or a photo about this gets out, all of you will be unemployed by tomorrow.”In an instant, the clicking sound of the cameras stopped abruptly.It was completely silent. Not a sound could be heard.Those reporters looked at Eric with fearful eyes.Eric always appeared in fin
Eric’s attitude was resolute and cold, leaving no room for maneuver.It was completely different from what Ivy Harrison imagined.Ivy Harrison was completely overwhelmed. She panicked, and her eyes were glistening with pitiful tears.Her eyes gradually reddened as she trembled, looking at Eric like she was about to cry.“Mr. Ferguson, why? Everyone says that we’re a good match.”Ivy Harrison was the youngest daughter of the Chairman of Harrison Corporation. With this identity, the distance between Eric and Ivy had been shortened.‘Why does he still refuse to look at me? Why didn’t he look for me for a marriage alliance?’During this period, Ivy could clearly see that Nicole was not at all interested in Eric.Even so, why did Ivy not stand a chance with Eric?She was puzzled and expectant.However, Eric did not even glance at her, nor did he bother to explain to her because he did not want to waste time on an insignificant person.Eric took out his phone and called Toto.“Ge
Eric’s gaze deepened. A trace of panic flashed in Nicole’s eyes before she glared at Eric with some annoyance.The two of them were uncompromising.They were in extreme proximity to each other, so much so that Nicole could feel Eric’s breath in her face.Nicole’s heart was racing for a moment. She lifted her arms to push him away, but in the next second, Eric held her hand. His gaze was dark and deep as he looked at her.His voice was low and raspy.“Nicole, what else do I have to do for you to forgive me?”His plea and show of weakness felt like he wanted to cut his heart open so that she could see his sincerity.Nicole tilted her head to look at him. Her heart trembled slightly like it was electrocuted. After a while, she chuckled.“Mr. Ferguson, you don’t have to do anything because I never look back.”Her heart was as cold as a rock.At this moment, a set of heavy, unfamiliar footsteps came from the side.Who could be so insensitive as to interrupt them at this time?“M
Stanton Corporation’s lounge.Ivy Harrison’s face was pale as she sat there, looking somewhat disoriented.The news of her dismissal had not yet been announced, so it was still not too late.Eli Harrison used a lot of effort to place her in Stanton Corporation. Ivy dared not imagine how she would return to her worthless self if Eli found out that she had screwed everything up.Ivy had come a long way from being an illegitimate daughter and was one step away from getting rid of those nightmares from her past.At this moment, she felt like she was hanging from the edge of a cliff. One wrong move would pulverize her.“Ms. Harrison.”Ivy suddenly stood up. She was nervous and apprehensive.Logan walked over politely.“Ms. Stanton has two meetings back-to-back and can’t take any time out now. Please go back.”Ivy spoke with a pale face. “I don’t understand. Why am I fired so suddenly?”She still secretly had hopes that what she had done would go unnoticed.Ivy was even so nervou
Ivy’s unorthodox tactics were exposed under the sun. There was no escape.She sat there and waited until dusk because she dared not leave.Ivy had thought of countless tricks to deal with Nicole’s reactions.What would Nicole do to her?Would Nicole get angry, annoyed, or hit her? Ivy’s target was Eric Ferguson, which Nicole was aware of. Thus, Ivy thought that no matter what, Nicole would treat her a little differently.However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that she was nothing to Nicole.Just as how Nicole hired her openly, Nicole could also fire her at will.Nicole walked out of the office confidently in her stilettos. Besides her bodyguard and assistant, some department heads flanked her sides to consult her opinion on urgent matters.They all looked at Nicole ingratiatingly and respectfully.That kind of mighty aura was something Ivy dared not even imagine having. Ivy suddenly noticed the gap between herself and Nicole.Even if Ivy’s status as a chairman’s ill
Harrison Villa.Ivy Harrison sensed that the atmosphere was not right as soon as she entered the door.She saw Joy Harrison’s car parked in the courtyard, so she must have come back.Usually, Joy would make a big fanfare of her presence because she wanted everyone to know that she was home.It had never been so quiet when Joy was around.This silence made Ivy more apprehensive.As soon as Ivy pushed the door open, a glass ashtray was hurled at her. Ivy was shocked and felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.She gritted her teeth as cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Her face was pale as she looked up and saw the two people sitting on the sofa. Joy and Eli Harrison were staring at her with cold and grim faces.“You still have the nerve to come back?! I asked you to approach Eric Ferguson, but you came running back here, not to mention the big mess you’ve caused!”Joy angrily hurled insults at Ivy. She had been keeping her wrath pent up inside as she waited for Ivy to return.She
Joy Harrison’s face was glum as she scolded Ivy Harrison. Joy finally could not stand it and went up to slap Ivy.“It’s all your fault! What exactly did you do to make Nicole so angry? The high-society ladies are now laughing at me for having such a useless sister like you!”The elite circle was not very big, to begin with. Harrison Corporation was only big domestically and was not on the same level as the internationally renowned Stanton Corporation. Thus, Joy’s circle was not the same as Nicole’s.Joy knew that Nicole’s circle was composed of the ultimate elites who stood at the top of the food chain, and she could only look up to her.Ivy’s face was hot and painful from the slap.All she felt was panic and shame.It turned out that Nicole was not oblivious to what Ivy had done to her.Nicole did not bother to deal with Ivy and went directly to Harrison Corporation.The Harrison family was to take responsibility for Ivy’s mistakes.This was a clear warning to Ivy so that she
In the luxury van not far from Stanton Tower.A nanny and a bodyguard were sitting next to the blonde and curly-haired Lil Michael. The three of them sat there obediently with their hands on their knees like schoolchildren.Opposite them was Clayton Sloan, who came uninvited.Aside from Lil Michael, everyone else feared Clayton.Thus, the nanny and bodyguard, who would usually give Lil Michael ideas on how to impress Nicole, kept their mouths shut and tried to reduce their presence.Only Lil Michael dared to express his dissatisfaction.“Daddy, please get out of the car. This is my date with Pretty Lady. I don’t want a third wheel to disturb us!”Lil Michael pouted and sat there with his hands on his waist, trying desperately to make his aura seem stronger.Clayton was holding an iPad as he finished typing out the last email before he looked up at his son.His voice was gentle.“I happen to be free and have some work to discuss with Pretty Lady, so it’s no harm for me to join
