Chapter 67
Eric thought, ‘I don’t think I’ve ever
received Nicole’s calls...’
Mitchell hesitantly spoke, “I’ve mentioned
it to you once before, but at that time, you
said not to report such trivial matters to
you. You also said in front of both me and
Ms. Nicole that aside from things related t
o Ms. Quade, you don’t want to be
contacted about unimportant matters
from Imperial Gardens, so... I guess that’s
why Ms. Nicole stopped calling you...”
His volume gradually decreased as he
seemed to notice the air around Eric
getting colder
Eric rubbed his brow and seemed to
remember this scene. Back then, they
were at their villa in Imperial Gardens, but
Eric was only thinking of Wendy Quade’s
excessive blood loss and seemed to
ignore another pair of expectant eyes
that slowly became desolate.
He had only given Nicole the nominal
marriage that she wanted, yet he chipped
away at her heart and drew her blood.
His heart suddenly felt so painful that it
was hard to breathe.
It seemed like he was beginning to get an
answer to how Nicole went from being
cautious to disheartened.
“President, the meeting...”
“Go and make an appointment with
Nicole. I want to meet her.” Eric knew that
Nicole would not answer his call, and
rashly showing up at her office was also
rude.
“Their reply has been very clear. Ms.
Nicole is not available,” Mitchell said. When Eric swept a glance at Mitchell with his gloomy eyes, Mitchell’s heart jumped and a
chill gradually spread throughout his body. Mitchell immediately added,” But I will keep contacting them until we get an
appointment.” “Get out. The meeting will be held as planned.” “Yes, sir.” Mitchell let out a sigh of relief after he retreated
respectfully. ‘Why bother? What’s the use of being attentive to her after the divorce?’ Stanton Corporation. A few minutes after
sending Old Master Ferguson away, Logan returned to Nicole’s office and conveyed word for word what he had just heard to
Nicole so that she could be prepared.
Once Nicole heard this, she laughed coldly. Old Master Ferguson had never liked her, so Nicole had already expected that he
would not hold back when dealing with her. However, she never thought that he would make up scandals about her private life.
“He wants to keep me from marrying into an affluent family? That’s cruel! If an ordinary woman was treated like
this, she would be ostracized for life.
Nicole intended to return the pipe after
messing with them for a few days.
However, she no longer wanted to let go o
fit now that they tried to mess with her.
Her phone suddenly rang. The caller ID
showed that it was Floyd Stanton.
Nicole waved her hand and said, “You
may leave.”
Logan nodded and left. Nicole picked up the call. “Dad, how many fishes did you catch today?” Floyd froze for a moment and let
out a cold grunt. “Did that old man Ferguson look for you?” “Yeah, he just came to my office and called you right in front of me.”
Nicole looked down at her manicure and spoke leisurely “Hmph! He still has the audacity to complain to me? Who are they to
bully you like this?” Floyd was furious and cursed. His daughter had suffered a lot when she was with the Fergusons. He did not
even go to them to settle the score,
yet they dare to complain first?
“Don’t be mad, Dad. I’ve already kicked
them out very unceremoniously.”
Floyd grunted. “Well done, Baby. You
don’t need to be polite to them. This old
geezer doesn’t even know his place. What
a scourge!”
Nicole laughed. “Yeah, you’re right.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter because I won’t
put up with them anymore. If that old
geezer comes looking for trouble again,
I’ll break that emerald pipe. Then we’ll see
who gets the last laugh!”
Floyd was satisfied with his daughter’s
reply and praised her. “Yes, do that. We
gotta show the Fergusons who’s boss. M
y daughter is the best!”
After chatting for a few more minutes,
Logan knocked on the door and urged,”
Vice President Nicole, the planning still
needs to be finalized. Should we call for a
meeting to discuss it?”
“Sure!”
Nicole then said to her father, “Dad, carry
on fishing... I need to get back to work
now!”
After a busy day, Nicole took her purse
and was ready to leave the office. Before
she walked out the door, Logan caught u
p to her. “Vice President Nicole, Mr.
Lichman wants to invite you to dinner to
talk about some issues related to the J&L
project.”
Nicole thought about it and nodded her
head in agreement. After all, this was the
most important matter at hand.
“Let’s go together.”
Logan nodded. “I’ll go and make the
arrangements.”
