The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss Chapter 796

The driver was stunned for a moment and hurriedly started the car. Nicole’s eyebrows were knitted
together. “Where are you going? My people are still inside. I want to go down!” Eric’s handsome and
fair face showed a hint of mockery.

“Your people? When you were in danger, your people weren’t even visible. They’re not as good as
me…” Nicole’s eyes faintly flickered. She pursed her lips. “D id you bring those three victims’ family
members here?” Before Eric answered, Toto spoke with relish.

“Yes, Ms. Stanton. Mr. Ferguson is so attentive to you. He heard that you came to this damn place
again and put aside so many things in the company because he’s worried for your safety. When we
were on the way over, he was chanting your name all the way. Sigh… We were so touched when we
saw it.

Where can you find such a great guy?” What Toto originally said was well-founded, but the more he
spoke, the more off-topic it got. Toto did not notice Eric’s cold and murderous gaze as well as Nicole’s
increasingly playful smile. Eric had to cough heavily to interrupt Toto’s incessant bragging. “You’re the
only one with a mouth?”

Toto shivered. ’It’s over… I talked too much!’ He smiled awkwardly. “Everyone has one too…” Nicole
curled her lips. A hint of discomfort crossed her eyes.

”Anyway, thank you so much.”

Eric inclined his head to look at her with a reserved temperament and his cool and handsome features.
His thin lips had a vaguely detached chill. It seemed extremely pretentious to Nicole.

“Just one word of thanks?” Eric said.

’Huh! He is really very pretentious!’ Nicole thought.



Nicole did not panic. ”You owe me, so this one word of thanks is actually superfluous.” Sure enough,
Eric’s face changed instantly.

He suddenly felt less imposing.

It was all Ingrid’s fault!

Eric adjusted his sitting posture and spoke with deliberation, ”Then… We’re even now, okay?” His tone
was humble and pitiful. Toto felt heartbroken for Eric. Nicole was speechless.

Her phone was with Logan, so she could not even make a phone call. Logan must have been anxious
when he found out that she disappeared. Thinking of this, Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows and stretched
out her hand. Her delicate and beautiful fingers were just like a work of art. ”Lend me your phone for a
while.” Eric refused. ”No.”

’He’s so unyielding now, huh?’ Nicole thought.

Nicole did not retract her hand. It was frozen mid-air as she stared at him with cold eyes. After a few
seconds of silence, Eric’s face moved slightly. He sighed. Just when Nicole thought that Eric had the
good sense to compromise, he put his big hand on hers.

When Toto saw this scene from the rearview mirror, his face twitched slightly. ’Mr. Ferguson has some
skills!’ The atmosphere inside the car became stagnant for a moment. Nicole speechlessly tried to
withdraw her hand, but Eric instantly grabbed it. ’He’s so thick-skinned!’ Nicole thought.

Eric’s fingers were long and slender with well-defined lines and a burning temperature. He held her
slightly cool hand and reluctantly released it. He still wore ”The Single” on his ring finger, which flashed
a cold light.



The kind of emotion that was suppressed at the bottom of his heart suddenly started to pour out at that
moment. His sharp black eyes looked straight at Nicole as he said, “I’m sorry…” His voice was low and
raspy.

He had so much he wanted to say, but they morphed into those simple words. Obviously, Eric never
wanted to hurt Nicole. He wanted to protect her with all his might, but he was used by someone to
harm her.

That kind of belated guilt was even harder to bear than someone hurting him. That was why he did not
let the PR department take action in the first place. He had to let Nicole vent out her anger.
