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
Nicole could not read Lil Michael’s thoughts, so she said, “Of course, I don’t mind.”Lil Michael looked disappointed, but after seeing Tigger, he rejuvenated his spirit and hugged Tigger excitedly without letting go.They soon arrived at the restaurant.Lil Michael did not rush to get out of the car. Instead, he acted mysteriously and asked Nicole and his father to go in first.The restaurant was quiet. It looked like it had been bought out in advance.Clayton was a gentleman and walked to the front to pull out the chair for Nicole. The table was lit with candles. The atmosphere was beautiful and ambiguous.A few minutes later.Lil Michael excitedly came over with a shoebox-sized box and a big bouquet of white chrysanthemums.Nicole saw the flowers and wanted to faint.Clayton also did not expect his son to bring bereavement flowers. He froze for a moment and thought that this kid really hid it well.He seemed to regret tagging along at this moment.For a while, the two adu
Tigger thought, ‘How dare you question that I’m not a real tiger!’It shook its tail and instantly felt that Lil Michael was not cute anymore.Lil Michael frowned. To verify the tiger’s authenticity, Lil Michael took a piece of beef jerky from the table and put it in Tigger's mouth.“Eat it then, little tiger!”Tigger desperately wanted to get rid of this kid’s grasp, but it was too weak.It felt so aggrieved.Just when Nicole was about to help, Tigger waved his front paws in the air.“I can’t eat! I’m a fake tiger…”Tigger’s dignity as a fierce tiger was swept down the drain because of a kid.It shook its fur and rested in Lil Michael’s arms speechlessly as it stared aggrievedly at Nicole.‘Mama didn’t even help me…’Nicole bowed her head and ate quietly.Since Clayton had expressed interest in her before, Nicole tried her best to hide the trace of awkwardness she felt.The two adults did not mention a word of what happened before so it was uncomfortable, but Clayton woul
Nicole was just about to rest when she received Toto’s call.She panicked, took her keys, and ran out.Nicole felt guilty when she thought about Eric limping. If his leg could never recover because of her, she was afraid that she would owe him for the rest of her life.Luca drove, so the twenty-minute journey only took ten minutes.They arrived at Imperial Gardens in a flash.As soon as Nicole went in, Toto greeted her in a panic.“Ms. Stanton, Mr. Ferguson fell down the stairs. He has a fever and is now unconscious!”Nicole knitted her brows. Her heart thumped when she heard this.“Did you call a doctor?”Toto froze and immediately spoke.“Yes... The doctor got into an accident on the way, so he’ll be delayed for a while.”Nicole went to Eric’s room and saw the man lying on the bed. His face was pale with beads of sweat on his forehead. He really looked like he had a fever.The husky circled the bed and chewed on his cane on the side.Nicole frowned. ‘How did he get a fev
