Nicole wrinkled her brows and looked at Eric.Eric walked in front of her with an aggressive coldness.“You’re going to a hotel?”His voice was low and husky.He seemed to be trying desperately to suppress his emotions.Eric did not want her to see the not-so-good side of himself that was his true self.However, he could not control it. When he saw that face which looked so much like his approach Nicole, the jealousy in his heart surged and spread uncontrollably. It felt like someone gouged out his heart, making the pain unbearable.Nicole was surely aware of what that low-grade fake was up to, but she still allowed his existence, and the two of them were even so intimate.‘She ignored the carefully peeled prawn that I gave her, yet she could accept this little tramp’s offerings?!’ Eric thought.He stared at her delicate features and her clear and cold eyes. He found it hard to breathe.Nicole did not answer his question and smirked. “Didn’t you hear everything?”Since he mi
Eric felt that he could be just like that fake, serving Nicole in a subservient and humble manner as long as she could return to his side.He did not care about his image.All he wanted was Nicole.Nicole’s sweet scent surrounded him, but her gaze was cold.Hearing Eric’s words, Nicole calmly reached out to pat Eric’s face gently.Nicole was one deeply fascinated by his rigid, cold, and perfectly sculpted features.She hooked her lips coldly and arrogantly.“You can’t because you won’t be as good as those that I spend money on.”Eric’s eyes shook fiercely. He felt enchanted by the way she looked down on him and crushed him, which made him beg for more.After being stunned for a moment, he laughed and cupped her cheeks. His eyes were red, not knowing whether it was from blood or tears.“You can pay me. I can learn too.”The tip of his nose rubbed her forehead. There was a slight tremor in his voice as he pleaded.“I’m cheap, and I’m a quick learner.”He threw away his digni
Kai choked.‘Right… I guess Dad will probably be so happy if he heard what Nikki said…’Nicole sat on the side and lowered her head to roll up her sleeves.Since she could not get rid of Eric and he was not willing to give up, she would just need to be more extreme.When he gets sick of her, he would stop being so obsessed, right?Nicole did not want to repeat the same mistake by being with him, so she would put an end to this.After a few minutes, Kai nudged Nicole’s arm.“Look at them.”Nicole looked up, squinted her eyes, and lowered her head again.Eric and Xander happened to be standing together just a short distance away.Next to them were a few staff members, the director, and the assistant director.These two people with similar facial features had different temperaments. Xander had a feminine temperament and looked tacky. He was also a little shorter than Eric.He really could not compare to Eric in terms of aura.Eric finally got Nicole to compromise and give him
Eric’s breathing instantly stalled. The air around him seemed to condense and permeate with a light chill.His eyes narrowed. ‘The first request she made was actually for that counterfeit?!’He licked the corner of his mouth. His narrow eyes carried a hint of gloom.There was some inexplicable discomfort in his throat.“What, you can’t bear to see him gone?”Nicole said, “Of course. He’s my guy that I stuffed in here.”‘How can I let him lose such a good opportunity when I haven’t squeezed out Xander’s remaining value yet?’Eric stared intently at Nicole. The pleasure he felt earlier was swept away in an instant, as if a bucket of cold water fell from the sky and solely poured over his head.He felt cold through the heart.However, he could only stand there and glare at her, not daring to ask one more question.If not, he would just be asking for trouble and making a fool of himself.Kai coughed and felt that he was quite redundant here.Eric was clearly not a match for Nic
Eric’s eyebrows twitched slightly. His chest felt like it had been struck by something.He started looking at the situation from another angle. It turned out that there was another possibility.“You’re right.”Eric spoke in a deep voice.Toto’s confidence multiplied because Eric actually agreed with him for once.Toto said, “So, we must show weakness. You can’t refuse no matter how she tries to torture you. Sometimes, abusive love is also a kind of love…”Eric nodded solemnly. His expression eased a lot.Toto said, “Once you endure this hardship, she’s yours!”......Nicole and Kai left the set and went straight to Julie’s house.Julie lived alone without any relatives.The nanny saw Nicole and greeted her.“Is Julie resting?”“Ms. Nixon is in the study. She doesn’t look very happy.”The nanny was an old-timer, so she could tell Julie’s mood with a glance.Nicole nodded, walked over, and knocked on the door. She did not hear a response, so she opened the door.The room
Kai came in with a black box, looking very cautious.Julie was not in high spirits. She simply greeted Kai and instructed the nanny to make tea, then casually walked to the living room and sat down.She was obviously not as close to Kai as she was with Nicole.Kai did not notice Julie’s mood. He put down the black box in front of her and had a faint smile plastered on his face.“Jules, look. This piece of jade is 99% similar to the quality of your jade pendant. It’s from the same place and has the same pattern. I’ll grind it and make a new one for you, okay? Or… Do you want a different shape?”Nicole held the cup of tea and took a small sip. ‘Was Kai kicked in the head by a donkey? Is the jade even the issue here? No matter how good the quality of the jade is, it can’t alleviate Julie’s sadness. This dumb*ss!’Julie glanced at the jade in the box. It was not the best quality, but it was indeed similar to the jade that was broken.It certainly took a lot of effort and money to fi
Xander gulped. A trace of panic and fear crossed his eyes.“N-No… Mr. Ferguson, you’ve misunderstood.”At this moment, Eric towered over Xander and looked down on him.It showed the real gap between them.Eric was so superior to Xander. It was not something that could be substituted with a face. In front of Eric, Xander was as lowly as an ant.Xander’s foolish little thoughts were simply crushed to the ground.How was Xander qualified to be Eric’s substitute?“Misunderstood?”Eric sneered. He threw a few pieces of paper on Xander’s face. His voice was devilish as he said, “You spent more than $800,000 on plastic surgery just to imitate my face? I can very well disclose these hospital records to the media.”Xander’s face turned pale as he looked at Eric in horror.“Mr. Ferguson, please don’t…”This was Xander’s biggest secret. He did not want others to know about his plastic surgery and thought that he hid it very well.Back when a car accident disfigured his face, the plast
Stanton Mansion.Nicole was drinking a cup of tea as she scrolled through her phone. When she saw Eric’s message, she could not hold back and spat out her tea.‘Is this son of a b*tch trying to make a fool of himself again?’Kai saw this and lectured her while he was busy fixing the jade pendant.“Where are your manners of a high-society lady?”Before Nicole could retort, Floyd, who was sitting opposite them, frowned and said, “Be careful. Don’t choke.”Kai was speechless and felt that he was making a fool of himself again.Nicole laughed and immediately turned off her phone, not wanting to see another message that simply insulted her eyes.She looked at Kai and rolled her eyes. He was concentrating on fixing Julie’s broken jade pendant.“Can you fix it?”Kai looked at a tutorial while he bowed his head in concentration.“No problem. I’m already a pro at this.”Floyd snorted coldly. “This wastrel broke several pieces of jade in my study and fixed them back again. Is it beca
