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.”
