Chapter 106

Grant and Nicole looked at their father in

unison. Old Master Ferguson was really

anxious to call their father right after

Floyd had just gotten off the plane.

Floyd Stanton sneered. “That’s not

necessary. My family’s a mess right now, s

necessary. My famil a mess right now, so I’m not in the mood to go out for a

drink.”

Old Master Ferguson said, “It’s only

because of a woman, so what’s there to be

upset about?

I actually have a favor to ask

of you.”

“Chairman Ferguson, Stanton

Corporation’s anniversary is coming up in

a few days, so how about I invite your

whole family and we can talk then?”

The other party paused. “Great, then I’ll

see

you then.”

After hanging up, Floyd Stanton’s eyes

emitted a chill. “Just watch how I’ll clean

up those Ferguson scumbags!”

Grant laughed. “Then I’ll take these few

days to reorganize our company’s shares

and decide which directors to keep or kick

out so that our Lil N can have a clean

environment.”

Floyd nodded. “Good, it’ll save us a lot of

trouble later.”

Nicole deliberately sighed. “Oh no… What

should I do? I’m about to have too much

money that I can’t finish spending…”

Floyd paused and suddenly remembered

something. “Speaking of spending, the

bank president called me yesterday saying

that Kai spent $800 million in one

afternoon. It’s not for investment or

stocks, so he’s afraid that it’s an

abnormal transaction. What is Kai up to?”

Grant could not help but laugh. “Dad, that

money was spent by Lil N.”

Floyd said, “Oh, then I’m relieved.”

If Kai heard about this, he would probably

go crazy.

When Nicole got back, she received a call

from an unfamiliar number. She thought

that it might be a spam call, so she

ignored it. However, it rang incessantly, so Nicole finally caved.

“Nicole?”

It was Keith Ludwig’s voice.

She raised her eyebrows. “Mr. Ludwig, something wrong?” Keith was looking for her, so it was most likely

nothing good. After less than two seconds of silence,

Keith pursed his lips and said, “Nicole, I didn’t take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire this time, so you

can’t push me out to be your shield…” Nicole snickered. ‘Turns out he knows what fear is? “Mr. Ludwig,

did you forget how you offended me that night?” Keith panicked, but he did not want to give in either.

“That’s just a misunderstanding. I’ve deeply reflected on myself, so just let me off this time…” This was

the first time Nicole heard such panic in Keith’s voice. It seemed that those nude photos had traumatized

him greatly. “I’ll think about it. Don’t call me again. I don’t want to hear your voice.”

After that, Nicole was about to hang up when Keith hurriedly spoke, “Hey, wait! Someone’s looking for

you…” Nicole froze for a moment, then heard a familiar cold voice. “Nicole, it’s me.” It was Eric Ferguson.

Hearing this voice, Nicole’s eyebrows twitched slightly. She let out a light laugh.

“Mr. Ferguson, do you also want to warn me?” Eric was stunned for a moment. “My a grandfather looked

for you?”

“Didn’t Chairman Ferguson set this

whole thing up to make me learn my

lesson?”

‘He’s just playing dumb! Nicole thought.

“Nicole, just give in to him. Return the

pipe and I’ll take care of the rest.

I’ll handle everything online.” Nicole forced a laugh. Her eyes were a little moist. The other side was

silent. “Eric Ferguson, I know you’re both playing good cop, bad cop. Do you take me for a fool?” Nicole

could not help but sneer. Since they already had such a falling-out, Nicole made her stance clear. a

“Your family is so underhanded to sling mudat me insult me with the natinct n her eyes. “Tears mean

weakness… I’m so useless! Nicole thought. Nicole used three days to wear out all the affection she had

for Eric from the past three years. She finally understood that she should never have any expectations of

a person who did not love her back.

‘What does it matter if Eric Ferguson did i t or not? What’s more, he’s waiting for m e to kneel to them

and beg for mercy? They even act like they are such angels, granting me so-called mercy right before

they stab me to death? What a joke! After Nicole removed her love goggles, she could see the whole

situation with extra clarity.

She could finally see it

objectively and found that all of this was

based on their condescension of her.

Even if she was surrounded by gentries

like Grant Stanton and Ian Carter; even if

she had exceeded expectations and

stunned everyone with her actions and

character; even if she was the Vice

President of Stanton Corporation that was

impressive enough to make people notice

her, nothing seemed to matter.

In the eyes of the Fergusons family, she

was still the weak pushover with no

background, money, or power. To them,

Nicole was just a gold-digging, scheming

woman that only wanted to marry into an

affluent family.

Thus, the Fergusons were unscrupulous

and used their power to force her to the

wall, trying to make her life so dull that

she would seem like a complete failure.

Eric’s heart sank when he heard Nicole’s

words, which pricked him like a thorn in

a

his heart.

It was painful and suffocating.

Eric knew that every word of insult Nicole

received was unjust.

These days Eric had been attempting to

turn the situation around, but Old Master

Ferguson used all his contacts and

resources so that the matter would

continue to worsen, thus increasing its

impact on Nicole. Moreover, Eric had to

deal with an issue with a client in France, so he was too busy to handle Nicole’s

scandal.

Since things had come to this point, there

falling-out, Nicole made her stance clear.

“Your family is so underhanded to sling

mud at me, insult me with the nastiest

words, and deliberately distort the truth.

Yet you still want me to beg for

forgiveness on my knees and even want me to be grateful to you? Don’t you feel like

you’re all so repulsive?”

The atmosphere was sullen and

oppressive.

Keith’s voice came through. “Nicole, Eric

didn’t do this.”

“So what? Isn’t he a Ferguson? Is he that

innocent? Do you think every single word

of scolding I’ve received today has

nothing to do with Eric Ferguson?”
