Eric Ferguson could not figure out why he
felt so impatient and annoyed. under
such circumstances, why does Nicole still
have the guts to show up here? Does she
still have expectations for Grant Stanton?
Can’t she see that everyone just treats her
like trash and only wants to avoid her?’
Moreover, those flowers she was holding
were extraordinarily agonizing to him.
Eric looked at Nicole with a gloomy face.
He said with some irritation, “It doesn’t
matter what you’re up to. You’d better not
choose today of all days. Everyone is
watching you, so if you really do
something out of place, even I can’t
protect you!”
If that was the case, Old Master Ferguson
would not be the only one against Nicole,
but also the entire Stanton family.
Nicole laughed out loud, but her eyes were
cold.
“Protect me? Mr . Ferguson, when have
you ever protected me? I think you’re just
afraid of getting implicated by me and
dragging your family into it, right?”
`Aren’t the insults I have to endure from
everyone all thanks to the Fergusons? Eric
still has the cheek to say these big words
now? Does he really take me as a fool?’
Nicole thought.
Hearing her words, Eric’s heart suddenly
clenched up. He frowned tightly and knew
in his heart that Nicole must hate him and
his family, but he did not know how he
should explain it to her.
“Nicole…” Wendy Quade ran over from
not far away and stood next to Eric. Her
voice was gentle as she said, “It’s all my
fault. I know that you hate me, and I don’t
blame you for what happened last time,
but please don’t make a scene here. It’ll
just make it awkward for both sides…”
Nicole’s grim gaze swept over Wendy. She hooked her lips and said, “Blame me? Do you have no
shame?” Wendy glanced at Eric meekly. He did not look like he blamed Nicole at all. She paused for a
moment, then acted aggrieved and pretended to be magnanimous. “Nicole, you’ve already divorced Eric.
Are
you planning to hate us for life just because of the past?” Nicole glanced at her coldly. “Are you even
worthy enough for me to remember for life?” Wendy’s face turned glum. She bit her lower lip and said,
“Eric and I both hope that you can let go of the past and start over. Today is Stanton Corporation’s
anniversary gala. If something happens, you will only make it impossible for you to keep your head up.
The most important thing now is to look at the big picture!”
Eric frowned slightly. His gaze was complex and cold as he glanced at Wendy. Somehow, Wendy’s
words made him feel very uncomfortable. Nicole’s lips twitched as she glared at the scumbag and b*tch
standing in front of her. Each one of them was more hypocritical and abominable than the other, which
made her feel repulsed. `Look at the big picture? Me leaving is looking at the big picture?’ Nicole
thought. “Who will that benefit? You guys? You
“Who will that benefit You guys? You
want me to leave so that no one will know
that you both had an extramarital affair?
Save that pitiful h*tch act and stop being so nauseating. Both of your existence is the
biggest joke around here.”
Nicole was very upset, but she did not
have the mood to continue babbling on
with these two and only left that sarcastic
remark. She saw Yvette waving at her
from not far away, so she carelessly swept
a glance at the two people in front of her
and walked away without another word.
Wendy felt resentful from being scolded by Nicole. She glanced at Eric from time to
time thinking that he would speak up for
them.
However, when Eric heard the words ”
extramarital affair”, his expression was
visibly complex and cold, and his eyes
were incredibly dark.
He stood there and watched as Nicole’s
back disappear before him, then withdrew
his gaze and turned to leave.
“Eric… Why did Nicole become like this?
She seems to hate seeing us together. It
looks like she’s had enough after
pretending for so long…” Wendy spoke tentatively and watched Eric’s reaction. ‘Why is he so indifferent
to Nicole’s
outburst just now?’ Wendy thought.
Eric frowned slightly and his tone was
cold. “What are you trying to say?”
Wendy was stunned. She bit her lower lip,
and her eyes became a little red. “I was
trying to say that maybe Nicole has a
point. We’ll be misunderstood by others if
we appear together… So, maybe… Maybe I
should leave first…”
She knew very well that Eric would not let
her leave first.
For one, it would be impolite to the Air Stantons.
Moreover, if Eric did not have a female companion by his side, it was inevitable that others would talk.
Wendy only proposed this so that Eric would notice her presence and would realize how understanding
she was compared to the unreasonable Nicole. Eric’s gaze was cold. He looked at his
Eric’s gaze was colded looked at his watch and said indifferently, “Alright, get the driver to send you
back” After that, he turned around and left without looking back. Wendy was left alone, looking lost and
grim at the door. “Wendy, come here quickly! My mother is looking for you everywhere…” Ingrid waved at
her.
Wendy ran over to Ingrid like she had seen her savior. ‘With Quinn and Ingrid around, Eric won’t send me
away, right?’ “What’s wrong? What did you and my brother talk about that made you look like this?”
“Nothing.” Wendy smiled perfunctorily.
Her face was extraordinarily pale. ‘Why did Eric allow me to leave?’ Wendy did not expect that she would
shoot herself in the foot. Eric, who used to be responsive to her, kept avoiding her lately. Why? Ever
since Wendy returned from abroad, she felt that everything was different.
