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
There was a flash of delight in Eric’s eyes.Then, he sighed. “Forget it. How can I let you do it yourself?”Toto said to retreat as an advance.He had to adapt to the situation.Nicole frowned and placed the ice pack on Eric’s forehead.“Such a simple thing is nothing. Bear with it a little longer and wait for the doctor to come.”Eric’s face faintly stiffened.“That’s all?”Nicole nodded. “Done. I didn’t touch you.”He just said that he did not like anyone touching him!Eric slowly closed his eyes and was speechless.In the next second, Nicole’s phone rang.Eric glanced at her phone and saw the caller ID.It was Clayton Sloan.His heart stalled for a moment.“It’s so late. What could he be calling you for?”He could not hide the jealousy and bitterness in his tone.Eric felt so jealous that he wanted to kill someone!Nicole absently pursed her lips. “Work.”She did not intend to explain anything to Eric because there was no need to do so.After that, she stood up
Eric was terrified.He was afraid of losing Nicole forever.Eric told himself not to get mad. It did not matter even if Nicole chose Clayton.He had a million ways to confine her to his life forever.Nicole was speechless and pushed him away. Her strength was much stronger than Eric, who was pretending to be sick. She sneered and said, “Then you can feel at ease being sick. The doctor will be here soon.”After she said this, she turned around.When she got downstairs, she met Toto and the doctor who came in one after another, looking unhappy and not very anxious.If Nicole had not noticed beforehand that Eric was pretending to be sick, she might not understand what was going on.Luca was following them with a serious face as he urged them.Seeing Nicole coming downstairs, Toto hurriedly greeted her.“Ms. Stanton, what do you want to take? I’ll go get it for you. You don’t need to come down personally.”She should just spend more time with Eric.Nicole gave him a cold blank
