Read of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
Eric’s gloomy expression was extremely cold.
He was just about to walk over when Keith suddenly grabbed his hand. “Old Master Ferguson is going
there…”
According to Eric’s tense relationship with the Old Master now, he naturally would refuse to meet him.
Old Master Ferguson walked over in a good mood. His face was tough and confident, and his cloudy
eyes were shrewd and calculating.
“Nicole, welcome…”
Nicole did not expect Old Master Ferguson to take the initiative to say hello to her.
Last time, he asked her out in the name of Golden Sea Corporation and wanted to use her to deal with
Eric.
Now that they met again, he was pretending that nothing happened?
If not for the fact that Nicole came over to see the show, she would not want to meet Old Master
Ferguson.
This cunning old man was not kind at all.
Nicole smiled. There were many people around, so she naturally would not put herself in an awkward
position. “Chairman… Sorry, I meant Old Master Ferguson. Thank you for your invitation.” She raised her
glass and smiled.
Old Master Ferguson’s face stiffened but he soon recovered. Beside her, Clayton stepped forward. “Old
Master Ferguson stepped down from Ferguson Corporation presumably to enjoy his life. We can’t
address him wrongly anymore, Nicole.” Nicole smiled faintly and played along with Clayton’s words. “My
bad. I was just too used to it.”
In other people’s eyes, she had simply addressed him wrongly.
However, Old Master Ferguson knew that she was mocking him for failing to seize power!
He could only swallow down that unspoken grievance.
Old Master Ferguson’s wrinkled face stiffened for a moment. He looked at Nicole with flashing eyes.
“You’re a child, so I won’t take it to heart. But looking at the two of you, I finally know why you’re always
rejecting Eric… Mr. Sloan is indeed an exceptional talent. I heard that his position in the investment circle
in Liberty is pivotal. I’m very happy that you two can be together!”
Old Master Ferguson looked benevolent and spoke meaningfully. Nicole frowned. His words would cause
other people to misunderstand. How annoying! The people around who heard his words almost came up
to congratulate them!
However, she did not know how to explain this story that came out of nowhere.
The look on her face was cold to hide her anxiety, and she was more than a little annoyed.
Beside her, Clayton patted her shoulder and spoke with a gentle smile.
“Thank you for your recognition, Old Master Ferguson, but I’m still in the middle of the pursuit. Although I
hope that Ms. Stanton can accept me, I don’t want to make everyone misunderstand this and cause
unnecessary troubles to her.” Nicole glanced sideways, her eyes crystal clear and beautiful. She faintly
froze when she looked at him.
For some reason, Clayton was clarifying the unspoken misunderstanding instead of adding fuel to the
fire and taking advantage of the opportunity to force her to agree. His actions were too heart-warming to
her. He really was a considerate, thoughtful, and impeccable man… The gossip in the eyes of the people
around them was extinguished.
Clayton’s explanation seemed to clarify his relationship with Nicole, but he was actually announcing his
pursuit of the woman. Not far away, Eric heard Clayton’s words and his sullen face suddenly tightened
before his dark eyes lit up for a moment.
It turns out that they were not together. His tightly clenched fingers loosened, and he secretly sighed with
relief. Nicole did not want to continue to be the center of the conversation and immediately said, “Old
Master Ferguson, what exactly is the theme of this party?”
