Once Clayton Sloan came, everyone held different expressions.Floyd snorted coldly. He was still harboring some rage against Clayton for dragging his daughter into this mess.However, thinking about the fact that Clayton just saved Nicole’s life, Floyd did not kick Clayton out.Besides, Clayton might also be a victim.Kai beckoned. “I’m sure Clayton’s here to explain things. Quick, invite him in.”He looked at Floyd.“Dad, after all, he’s Lil N’s lifesaver. Even if you feel angry, you have to put up with it…”Floyd rolled his eyes and sat down with a calm demeanor. “I know!”Kai laughed. Nicole was calm.Since she knew that Stanton Corporation’s stocks were not affected much, Nicole did not bother about this.It was not like she had not been berated by netizens before.She also did not care what her image was in the hearts of netizens.As soon as Clayton came in, he saw that except Grant and Maverick, all the Stantons were there. Floyd and Kai’s faces were not very pleasant
Before Kai could break out into a cursing fit, Floyd frowned and looked at Clayton.“As soon as Lil N was involved, we got people to investigate and handle this problem. Your power in Mediania isn’t so deep yet. How can you be sure that it’ll be gone first thing tomorrow?”As a businessman, especially a shrewd old businessman, Floyd was always suspicious of any slight possibility.Could Eric do this according to his attitude toward Nicole?Floyd seriously suspected that Clayton was lying.Clayton’s eyes were serious, warm, and sincere, without the slightest hint of anger or dissimulation on his face.“I don’t have many connections at home, but I do have some strength overseas. One of the major shareholders of this media platform settled abroad and has a close relationship with me. He was the one who told me of this news. Ferguson Corporation got them to seal this information, but even so, it’s not confidential to their management.”Floyd’s face sank fiercely. “Eric Ferguson, tha
Afterward, Clayton looked at Floyd.“Uncle Floyd, it’s getting late. Sorry for disturbing you today. I will definitely come over to make up for it some other day.”Clayton wanted to leave.Floyd nodded. His attitude had eased up a lot.At that moment, Floyd’s anger was transferred to that damned Eric Ferguson.“Okay. If there’s anything you need help with, just ask us. Don’t be a stranger.”Floyd shot Kai a look. Kai immediately understood, stood up, and extended his arm.“Mr. Sloan, after you.”Clayton took a deep look at Nicole before he nodded and turned to leave.When Kai returned, he looked at Floyd and finally could not help but break into a cussing fit.“What does that son of a b*tch want? Does he have a death wish?! On the surface, he acts like a gentleman, but he stabs us in the back? He’s the most shameless person there is!”The butler tried to persuade Kai not to get angry, but he could not find a chance.Nicole calmly hugged Tigger and stroked its fur gently, li
Nicole looked at her phone and had no intention of picking it up.When she got to the small balcony inside, the floor was covered with soft carpets. Lying on it felt like lying on a cloud.However, Nicole could only sit on her wheelchair.Tigger did not hesitate to occupy Nicole’s spot. Its four feet were facing the sky, revealing its stomach. It was smiling as it stared at the vast starry sky.Everyone thought that Tigger had pretty good tastes as an artificial intelligence robot to have such an elegant hobby.Nicole turned off her phone and looked up. The glass of the roof was made of a special material used for telescopes, so the vast Milky Way was magnified at once.Those distant stars seemed to be within reach.It was raining outside, so the raindrops were also magnified as it fell on the glass dome. It was simply spectacular and beautiful.......Ferguson Villa.Ingrid was in the living room, listening to Old Master Ferguson and Eric’s quarrel coming from the study upst
The dim light in the study did not have a trace of warmth at this time.The floor was a mess, and a chill permeated in the air.Eric stood there with his back against the light. His whole body was immersed in darkness.His cold and handsome face was half-lit. His dark eyes were as sharp as a blade as he tried to suppress the coldness in them.Eric truly regretted being soft-hearted and not taking back all of Old Master Ferguson’s power in the beginning.“Do you know what you’re doing?”His voice was deep, rough, and hoarse. Eric gritted his teeth as he looked at Old Master Ferguson.Old Master Ferguson looked at Eric and sneered.He laughed at Eric’s kind-heartedness. Eric was still too young.“How can those little tactics work against Clayton Sloan? I’m just adding fuel to the fire so that he would burn more thoroughly.”If Eric had not made the first move, Old Master Ferguson would not have been able to get the opportunity to do this.Old Master Ferguson glanced at him.“
Old Master Ferguson’s position in Ferguson Corporation was the most meritorious. Back then, his domineering and ruthless means single-handedly brought Ferguson Corporation onto the right track.Faced with so many ambitious shareholders that were fierce and cruel opponents, Old Master Ferguson decisively gave up on his son, Charles, who had a weak character and mediocre qualifications, and selected his grandson, Eric, who was only ten years old at the time.Old Master Ferguson single-handedly promoted Eric and taught him how to deal with the surrounding dangers in the business world.He got Eric enlisted into the army to build his character and let Eric go abroad to experience life.Eric’s excellence was Old Master Ferguson’s most satisfying work.Once Eric returned from his studies abroad, Old Master Ferguson decisively released the power in his hands and paved the way for Eric, then retired to the background.Old Master Ferguson let everyone know that Eric was the heir to Fergus
Eric’s long silence made Ingrid feel worried and afraid.For a long time, Eric coldly snickered. “Forgive who? You?”Ingrid raised her head abruptly and quickly shook her head.“Brother, it has nothing to do with me! I’m not so capable. It’s Grandpa…”Eric’s face suddenly changed. His voice was cold.“I’ve arranged people by Grandpa’s side. He didn’t know what I was doing, but you… What did you do when you went to the office during the day yesterday?”One sentence made Ingrid petrified. Her face instantly turned miserably white.Ingrid did not want Mitchell to tell Eric that she had been there, but she forgot that Mitchell was Eric’s right-hand man, so how could he listen to her orders?She stood there dumbstruck. Her eyes abruptly reddened.“Ingrid, I see that you haven’t learned anything during your time in society. You even learned to lie, so you can go back and continue to do your sales.”Ingrid was shocked and hurried over, crying as she looked at Eric.“Brother, I just
Eric hung up the phone. He started the car and drove in the direction of Stanton Mansion.He drove extremely fast. He did not know how long it had been since he felt this thrill. His blood was surging.When his car stopped at the entrance of the Stanton Mansion, Eric felt cold all over and a little hesitant.He picked up the phone and dialed Nicole’s number once again.Her phone was already turned off.Eric fiercely pounded his fist on the steering wheel. The sharp honk cut through the silent night sky.It also shocked the people at the Stanton Mansion.The butler was about to rest. When he heard the sound, he shuddered in fear and got up to look at the surveillance footage at the door. He saw the familiar Range Rover. It was Eric Ferguson.The butler did not dare to hesitate and went to knock on Nicole’s door.If Nicole did not respond, he could only let Eric wait outside.At this late hour, Nicole was still awake. Tigger opened the door for her, wagging its tail happily.T
