Chapter 69 I Want My Blood Back
Eric Ferguson felt his heart clenched and his eyes darkened. He did not know anything about Nicole. He was unaware that she could play the violin so well, nor did he know that she smoked.“I never smoked in front of you because I was afraid you wouldn’t like it before, so of course, you never had the chance to see it.”Every time Nicole donated blood, she would feel very weak. Eric accompanied Wendy Quade, and Nicole’s only company was cigarettes. Nicole was particularly addicted to smoking during those tough days.The corners of Nicole’s lips hooked up, but her eyes were slightly despondent. A moment later, she returned to her usual self.She glanced at Eric’s drooping eyes and smiled playfully.“Want to hear my conditions?”Without waiting for his reply, Nicole went straight to the point.“Get Wendy Quade to give me however much blood I’ve donated to her. It doesn’t have to be in one go. Anyway, she can finish repaying me within a year.”Eric’s head jolted up. “What?”Nicole
Chapter 70 Hello, Pretty Lady!
Gerard Lichman raised his eyebrows. “In any case, I was the one who overstepped in the first place. Ms. Nicole, if you’d like, you can come with me to meet our core research team. Not everyone will have the opportunity to see it.”Nicole agreed without a second thought. After all, if she knew about the latest research technology of J&L Corporation, she could grasp the market first and would get a better grasp on the development of artificial intelligence in the future.Once the three of them walked out, Gerard turned to Logan and said, “Mr. Logan, I’m afraid you don’t have access to the lab because it has our company’s secrets. Don’t worry, I will ensure that Ms. Nicole gets back safely.”Logan looked at Nicole hesitantly. Nicole understood Gerard’s concern, so she nodded at Logan and said, “You can go back first. I’ll be fine.”“Yes, ma’am.”Nicole and Gerard got into Gerard’s car. They sat in the back with the curtains closed, so they could not see what was going on outside. Nic
Chapter 71 Little Traitor
Nicole was stunned and surprised as she squatted down to pick up the tiger. “Hey little guy, it’s you again?”The little tiger rubbed against her shoulder and spoke in a cute voice, “I’m not a little guy, I’m a big and mighty tiger! Roar!”Nicole was amused and looked at Gerard. “It actually remembers me?”“It has a good memory.” Gerard laughed and then whispered, “After all, it’s not a real tiger… Shh… Don’t let it hear what I said.”“I heard that! I don’t like you anymore… Hmph!” The tiger looked away and narrowed its eyes in anger.Gerard touched his nose while the curly-haired man came over to them and said, “So you’re the pretty lady he’s been going on and on about?”The man had a big head of curly hair and wore black-framed glasses. He looked like a stereotypical scientist and looked to be in his twenties.“This little traitor came back and showed off to us saying that he saw a pretty lady. It always had very high standards when it comes to aesthetics, so we were curious.
Chapter 72 You’re Mine Now
On the screen was a photo of Nicole’s second brother receiving a prize in Switzerland. At the age of seventeen, Maverick received the Breakthrough Prize and had since leaped to fame as the top scientist in the physics world. He was a genius that countless countries desperately wanted to hire. In this photo, Maverick looked clean-shaven and fresh with a warm sunny smile.“You know him too?!” Molly Stewart ran over to Nicole in excitement. Her eyes were sparkling with admiration. “He’s my idol. I love him so much! If I get to see him in person, I can just die without regret!”Nicole was silent. Her second brother was indeed very sought after in the industry, but he had a weird temper. He did not like girls being around him, so much so that her father was worried that her second brother would end up alone for life.Molly excitedly shared all of Maverick’s achievements with Nicole and pulled her arm. “Don’t you think that he’s handsome? He’s hands-down better than any movie stars out th
Chapter 73 Tigger
Nicole took down Molly Stewart’s phone number and came out of the lab holding the little tiger. Gerard Lichman was a little surprised that Nicole came out so quickly. Nicole smiled and held up the little tiger in her hand.“Molly gave it to me, can I take it away?”Gerard looked shocked for a moment, then smiled. “Of course, it’s her personal belongings and has nothing to do with the company. Since she gave it to you, you can take it away.”He walked over and touched the little tiger. “Goodbye Little Traitor, behave yourself…”“Hmph! I’m finally going home with the pretty lady!”Gerard laughed helplessly. “Let’s get going then. I’ll send you back.”When Nicole got home, Nicole wanted to have some bonding time with the little tiger, but her phone suddenly rang. She saw that it was a video call from her third brother, Kai.Since the tiger entered the apartment, it looked left and right like a curious baby. It saw the luxurious decor and expensive furniture and was in awe. It wagge
Chapter 74 New Lover and Ex-wife
Nicole was looking down at her phone with a wide smile when she suddenly heard someone in the crowd shout, “Eric!”She subconsciously inclined her head to look in the direction of the voice. A familiar face came out from the exit, which made Nicole’s smile instantly stiffen.‘Wendy Quade? What a coincidence!’Eric Ferguson came to pick Wendy up with his assistant Mitchell. Wendy’s eyes turned red the moment she saw Eric. She could not help but run up and hug him.The pair’s entangled figures were particularly piercing to Nicole’s eyes. Nicole thought that she was over it, but her heart still could not help but throb with pain. There was an astringent and heavy feeling in her chest, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.Before Nicole came back to her senses, an arm wrapped around her shoulders from behind and pulled her into a tight embrace. When Nicole smelled this familiar scent, she instantly snapped back to her usual self. She pulled the large hand that covered her eyes and
Chapter 75 Failed Instigation
As soon as Kai got into the car, he spoke frankly and took off his sunglasses, revealing the disdain in his eyes.Kai noticed that the son of a b*tch Eric Ferguson was at the airport as well.Nicole nodded and looked calm. “Yeah, his lover came back.”Eric Ferguson’s presence was impossible to ignore, and someone as sharp as Kai must have been able to spot him.“Hah! That woman by his side? Tsk tsk, is he blind?”Nicole hooked her lips. “He has a unique taste, I guess. By the way, the photos of us at the airport just now will definitely be posted online. Do you want to get your PR people to deal with it?”Kai was not bothered and grunted. “No need. I wanna let people see how sought-after my sister is!”If not for Eric Ferguson’s sudden appearance, Kai would not have willingly exposed Nicole, but since he appeared, Kai wanted to show that jerk that Nicole was an eligible woman. Nicole could capture the attention of thousands of men!“My dearest brother, do you know how many sc
Chapter 76 She Doesn’t Care
Eric’s eyes were cold when he raised them slightly. His voice was indifferent as he said, “What’s done is done. I’m not qualified to forgive you on her behalf, and it’s Nicole who doesn't care for your apology.”Seeing Wendy’s shocked gaze, Eric looked away and said, “What are you waiting for? Drive!”“Yes, President.” The driver dared not delay another second and immediately drove away.Wendy Quade stood stiffly in place as she watched the car fade from sight. The grievance in her eyes was gradually replaced by anger.‘I was only abroad for a short time, when did Eric become so cold to me? He even spoke for Nicole? She’s really something!’Wendy took out her phone in anger and dialed a number. Her voice was warm as she said, “Ingrid? I’m back…”Floyd Stanton was still abroad. Grant Stanton was also on a business trip. Thus, Kai was dead set on following Nicole home.Nicole grunted in reluctance as Kai clung to her. “Mr. Anderson cleaned up your apartment two days ago. Why do yo
