Nicole desperately suppressed those
surging emotions in her heart. She took a
deep breath as she held back the sourness in
her eyes.
Since things had co to this point, there
was no way to please both parties. The
only way was for Nicole to compromise.
Eric wanted Nicole to hand over the pipe to his grandfather to appease him and
divert his attention. Then, he could take
the opportunity to gain back control over
the media. He wanted to clarify the facts
for Nicole to clear her name and minimize
the damage.
“Nicole, let’s talk about the rest later.
What’s more important is solving the
matter at hand.” Eric spoke again with
forbearance.
Nicole sneered. “Don’t bother. I’m used to
being scolded, so it doesn’t matter to me.
Eric Ferguson, you’d best remember that
the most regrettable thing in my life is
being so blind to fall for a jerk like you!
Thank God it’s only been three years… I’ll
just consider this a nightmare! Also, tell
Chairman Ferguson that I will find a good
home for the emerald pipe.”
After that, Nicole hung up the phone
without hesitation. Her eyes were already
blurred with tears.
Nicole remembered when she first got Nicole remembered Jen she first got divorced, she wanted to
know if Eric had once felt moved or touched by her affection for him. However, she could not and would
not ask him this because asking would mean defeat. That was because Eric Ferguson had never
acknowledged her as his wife.
Nicole did not want to debase herself any longer.
Now, the answer was no longer
important, and Nicole just felt that the
question itself was simply ridiculous.
‘How absurd! The past three years of
marriage is just a self-abasing nightmare!
Nicole thought.
Keith looked at the call that was disconnected and saw that Eric’s face was glum and tense. He let out a
nervous laugh and said, “This woman doesn’t know any better. Ferg, don’t bother with her. Just wait for
the heat to pass.” He had not seen any woman who dared to scold Eric Ferguson so blatantly and did
not even give him the chance to retaliate.
‘Nicole’s really something!
“Nicole’s really something!”
“By the way, I received an invitation to
Stanton Corporation’s anniversary party,
I heard that they’ve also invited many
mainstream domestic and foreign media
for the grand gala. Perhaps they intend to
take advantage of this opportunity to
explain the matter about Nicole, so don’t
worry about it.”
Eric’s eyes were indifferent. His face was icy, and his voice was cold as he said, ” I’m not worried. Forget
it… She doesn’t appreciate it anyway.” Eric did not know what Nicole was thinking. The situation was
clearly very tense, but Nicole was still not willing to accept the olive branch they offered her.
‘Did she really think that Stanton Corporation would take her in? Or will Grant Stanton really marry her?
In her situation, anyone who gets involved with her will be in big trouble. This stupid woman!’ Eric
thought.
