Chapter 422
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 422 Canât Be Careless
Toto was sitting alone in the living room, sad and heartbroken about Eric when he heard a movement
from the door.
Eric came back Toto greeted him with excitement.
âMr. Ferguson, youâre back! You still insist on going out to work when youâre not fully recovered.
Youâre really the most dedicated and successful person Iâve ever seenâ¦â
Eric cleaned up Paul Newton, so he was in a good mood, but as soon as he entered the door and heard
these words, his face suddenly turned glum.
This level of puffery was really something. Eric held back his anger and asked in a cold voice. âIs Nicole
back?â âYes, Mr. Ferguson. I noticed that Ms. Stantonâs not in a very good mood.
I donât think you should find trouble for yourself Eric shot a sidelong glance at Toto.
That cold gaze made Toto shiver. Toto coughed lightly and hurriedly remedied the situation. â
The banquet earlier was such a big scene thatâs straight out of a TV show, but I think that without you, it
lost some luster and Eric indifferently rolled his wheelchair inside and did not want to listen to Totoâs
chattering âWhat kind of person did I hire?! If it werenât for his special task, Iâd have kicked him out long
ago!â Toto did not get to finish his words.
He ran over in two steps and pushed Ericâs wheelchair. âBut Mr. Ferguson, I think that you should have a
sense of crisis⦠That Clayton Sloan really has very good conditions, and his attitude towards Ms.
Stanton is pretty special.
You canât be careless!â At the banquet, Toto could clearly feel everyoneâs respect and fear towards
Clayton Sloan. That manâs temperament Clayton Sloan. Thaanâs temperament was also on a par with
Eric. However, such a man was surprisingly gentle and modest to Nicole, helping her i n every way. How
could they ignore it? Eric rubbed his temples.
He said in an irritated tone. âFine. Go ahead with whatever youâre supposed to do.ââ He did not take
Totoâs words to heart. Clayton gave Nicole special treatment because she saved his son during that
terrorist attack on the streets of Europe back then. Due to this, Eric was confident that Clayton could not
possibly harbor any bad intentions for Nicole.
As for feelings, Claytonâs wife died in that attack, so how could he forget about her i n a few years?
When Eric was about to go into the study, he suddenly paused and went to Nicoleâs room. He knocked
on the door and waited quietly for a while.
Nicole stood in the doorway with a face Nicole stood in the orway with a face mask on. Her arms were
crossed over her chest.
âMr. Ferguson, youâre really energetic, huh? After going out to catch Paul Newton, he could still come
back and chat with her. Eric lowered his eyes for a moment. When he looked up at her, his gaze was
gentle. â
Thereâs good news that I canât wait to tell you. Iâm sure youâll be happy.â âYou found the murderer, Paul
Newton?â Her voice was dull without a hint of surprise. Eric froze for a moment. He then gave her an
appreciative look.
âSo, you already know, huh? How clever!â âDid you hand him over to the police?â Eric smiled slowly.
âThereâs no hurry. Itâs too merciful to hand him over now. Iâm going to swallow his company whole and let
him watch his lifeâs work crumble before sending him to jail.
Do you want to take out your anger?âJall. Do you want to take out your anger: Nicole paused. âYouâve
already done everything that needs to be done, so what else can I do?â âOkay. Itâs better not to get your
hands dirty.
â At that moment, Nicole seemed to be able t o feel the cold vibes enveloping Eric. Ericâs eyes fell on her.
Thinking of what Toto reminded him, he did not mince words of praise.
âOur Nicole is really beautiful and smart. Most importantly, youâre so kindâ¦â Any woman who heard this
would undoubtedly feel her heart blossoming, right? The corners of Nicoleâs lips twitched as she looked
at Eric with disdain.
âYeah, thatâs why Iâm too good for you.â âWhat nonsense is he trying to pull so late at night?!â Nicole
thought. Eric felt dejected and went back to his room to sleep.
