At the entrance of Stanton Mansion.Unexpectedly, Floyd had also just returned from a fishing trip.The two cars met just like that.Eric was a little nervous in his heart. After all, his status had advanced further since the last time they met.However, Nicole was exceptionally calm. She got out of the car and brought Lil Michael down, and the butler immediately took the boy inside.Nicole wanted Eric to leave immediately, but he also got out of the car.His buttoned suit made him appear noble and clear, and the cold and aloof temperament instantly conformed to him.Nicole silently cursed him in her heart. His well-dressed figure was already walking towards Floyd’s car.He did not want to miss this opportunity. He was willing to risk Nicole’s wrath, but he had to meet her parents!Floyd did not get out of the car. He wound down the car window and narrowed his eyes.“Mr. Ferguson?”Eric lowered his head very politely as if he was meeting a familiar elder.“Chairman Stanton,
Eric’s eyes sank coldly for a moment. He then got up and bid the Stantons farewell.Floyd clearly saw the bicker between the two of them.He knew very well that Eric had not given up on Nicole and was even a little frantic. However, that was good.Eric could have a taste of the same way he tormented Nicole in the past.Floyd exchanged a few pleasantries and let the butler send Eric off.Eric was just about to leave when Tigger, who was nestled on the sofa, ran into his arms, not wanting him to leave.“Papa, I’ll miss you. I’ll love you forever…”Nicole paused and looked at the heartless Tigger.Jealousy made her lose her wits.“If you miss him so much, then just follow him home.”Tigger froze.Its AI brain could not tell if Nicole’s words were true or false.Was Tigger not her favorite?Tigger wagged its tail and walked over reluctantly, pawing at Nicole’s shoes.“Mama, I love you even more…”Eric was speechless. ‘Forget it, it’s just a duplicitous tiger.’The butler se
Livia turned around to look at Nicole. Livia was dressed differently from yesterday, and she looked more stern and decisive. However, the cold brightness of her aura still made her unforgettable to people.“Ms. Stanton, sorry for intruding, but do you have a moment?”Nicole lowered her eyes in thought. She had nothing to do with Livia, but she did feel heartache for what Livia experienced. They had both gone through very similar experiences.“Come in.”Logan went over to push open the office door, and Nicole and Livia went in one after another.“Would you like something to drink?”“Coffee, please.”Nicole took a seat and subconsciously glanced at the computer. The situation of the opening stock market was extraordinarily clear on the chart.Most conspicuously, the Ludwig family’s stock had been plummeting. In just a few minutes, hundreds of millions had evaporated.Livia’s dress today was very professional, looking like a capable and experienced woman in the workplace, in line
Livia’s eyes also brightened. She nodded, but then she felt embarrassed. “But will the investment be too much?”Nicole waved her hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll leave it to the professionals. All you have to do is take part in it.”Livia nodded solemnly.Everyone easily agreed to what Nicole proposed.Nicole immediately asked Dominic Young to find someone to set a plan.Livia went back not long after, and she also set Nicole’s share of the profit to fifty percent.Nicole narrowed her eyes and immediately changed it to ten percent before sending it back to Livia.She was not spending her energy on this, so she naturally could not take advantage of Livia. Besides, Livia still needed to manage the law firm after this.Dominic did not have any doubts about the novelty of this variety show. The public had seen many shows where the participants gradually grew closer, but a show about self-improvement and inspiration to engage in their careers after divorce would certainly open up a new path
Eric felt as if he had dug a pit for himself. He had to jump even if he did not want to.If he had known earlier, he would have ruined it at all costs!Mitchell did not say anything and looked at him in silence.Impulsiveness was the devil!Eric picked up a cigarette in annoyance. Smoke curled around him as he knocked on the table. “Forget it. Just consider it money thrown away.”Mitchell did not know what to say and could only try to comfort him.“President, Dominic Young of Falcon Entertainment is very optimistic, and it’s predicted that the ratings won’t be low. Our investment won’t be thrown in for nothing. It might even be profitable.”Eric looked at him with a dark and cold gaze.“If it were you, would you want this money?”Profit?He wanted the show to crash and burn!Mitchell stood there with a blank face, not daring to say a word more.Toto would be useful at a time like this, but unfortunately, he was not here.Then, he obtained first-hand information.The progr
There were two doors on the north and south side of the venue. It was unknown if the program team arranged it on purpose.As soon as Dominic’s words fell, he clapped his hands, and the two doors opened at the same time.Everyone froze for a moment. The male guest who appeared at the south door was Xander.Clean, bright, and elegant. Xander stood there with a gentle smile.However, what was more shocking was that the male guest who appeared in the north was actually Eric!It was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue.Eric Ferguson actually came to the show?That shifty and fickle Eric Ferguson actually took part in this small and insignificant show?No one had known beforehand. The three female celebrities could not suppress their shock, nervousness, and joy. They began to worry about whether their makeup was exquisite enough to attract the attention of that man.It was as if they had forgotten what their original purpose for coming to this show was.While Eric stood there, h
Nicole rolled her eyes. She immediately understood that Dominic had been greedy and had pulled some strings in the middle.She was the one who recommended Xander, and Eric should be here using his own means.Nicole took a deep breath. There were many people here, so she could not make a fuss. Furthermore, the purpose of this whole thing was to support Livia, so she could only settle the scores later.She held out her hand speechlessly and began to applaud.Welcome.Then, everyone started clapping with meaningful looks, becoming more and more enthusiastic.The applause belonged only to Mr. Ferguson.Eric looked at Nicole, who took the lead in clapping, and his eyes softened slightly. The chill on his face receded a little.Finally, he walked in.Dominic breathed a sigh of relief.He finally passed the first hurdle.Eric walked up to Nicole’s side, and the people around very consciously gave way to him.He stood in the center of the group and stood out conspicuously.Strange
Eric was originally quite satisfied, but when he heard Xander’s name, his face instantly turned gloomy.That counterfeit was simply everywhere! He really needed to be taught a lesson!Unfortunately, Eric could not let people see a domineering president like him act so pettily.The reason why Nicole recommended Xander was because he had never got into any trouble except for occasionally starting some little tricks that he should not have. That was why she was willing to give him a chance.Unexpectedly, Eric came and stole the limelight.Without a doubt, Eric would be the center of attention in this variety show no matter how well Xander performed.They were given two small wooden boats. Yuliana, Sadie, and Livia’s group got into the boat and very excitedly discussed their strategy.Eric got on the boat and turned around to give his hand to Nicole. Nicole took a look at it but did not take it and jumped in herself.Xander, the only one left, took a trembling glance at Eric before
