Hearing those voices, Nicole frowned slightly. “That sounds like Yvette…”Kai was doubtful. “Really?”He then stood up and went outside. When he came back, he brought Yvette, Julie, and Ian with him.The three of them were all red-eyed. Yvette jumped over as soon as she saw Nicole. “Lil N!”Julie also wanted to jump at Nicole, but Kai grabbed her clothes to stop her.“One by one! Don’t touch my sister’s wounds!”Julie immediately stopped fighting him. The worry in her eyes was unconcealed. “You’re injured?!”Nicole patted Yvette’s back and looked at Julie with a smile. “I’m fine now, mostly recovered!”Ian Carter, who was standing on the side, looked so disheveled, thin, and drained. He even had stubble all over his jaw from not having shaved for days.Seeing that Nicole was fine, Ian kneeled on one knee in front of Nicole’s hospital bed and started to sob. Yvette, who was also choking back sobs, was speechless.Julie was too shocked to say anything. Suddenly, the somew

Mitchell followed Eric from behind, carrying his suitcase. He looked at his boss’ despondent and cold figure and could not help but remind him in trepidation.“President, Lee’s phone…”Lee, the driver following behind them, watched in trepidation as his few-hundred-dollar phone was almost crushed in Eric’s hand.Mitchell was familiar with Nicole’s number, so Eric found a random number to call her.After all, Eric had saved her, so something should have changed between them.Who knew that once Nicole heard his name, she would hang up the phone without hesitation?Eric’s face was glum as he deleted the call record and threw the phone back to Mitchell. Eric had such an unapproachable aura about him.Mitchell gave the phone back to the driver, Lee, then quickly caught up to Eric.“President, the famous painter Mr. Wilheim invited you to attend the soft opening of his fine art exhibition restaurant this evening…”Stanton Mansion.Nicole hummed a tune while picking out an outfit fo

Nathaniel subconsciously took a step back. He still did not have the guts to go against Eric.Even so, he braced himself and said, “She... She willingly said so! Uncle Eric, you can’t just separate lovebirds…”As soon as he said that, Nathaniel’s entire body was picked up and shoved against the wall. His scalp was tingling, and his back was in severe pain.As an explorer, Nathaniel had a much better physique than the average person, but in the face of Eric Ferguson, he simply became a weak little boy who could not fight back.His dignity was trampled under Eric’s feet!Eric glared at him coldly without the slightest regard for kinship. His actions were firm and ruthless.“Nathaniel Ferguson, if you have a death wish, just say so. I’ll gladly grant it…”Mitchell hurriedly stepped forward. “President, there’s still room for discussion. Young Master Nathaniel is just joking! How could Ms. Stanton be attracted to him?”Nathaniel was talked down to, but there was still defiance in h

Nicole did not get to jump out of the car. She just sat there and cast a sidelong glance at Eric. Her gaze was as cold as the cold wind in the night.‘Remarry him?! Bloody impossible!’Nicole did not like Eric’s proposal, not even as a joke.Eric’s eyes were deep and dark, blending into the night.“Why did you lie to me that it wasn’t you? The woman in the photo is clearly you…”‘Why won’t you admit it? Why won’t you admit that you saved me?’ Eric thought.The moment Eric confirmed that it was Nicole, he felt indescribably relaxed and vaguely happy.Nicole laughed. “So what if it’s me? What can you do with this knowledge?”She had him at a loss.‘Yeah, what could I do...?’At that moment, Eric’s expression was clearly stagnant. The corners of his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.Eric, who had always been calm and steady, seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.Nicole hooked her lips into a faint smile. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, “Mr. Ferguson,

Eric looked at Nicole, who was next to him. She was just looking at the big screen with concentration. The curves of her side profile were soft. Her nose bridge was high, and every inch of her skin was flawless.Nicole quietly watched the movie. No matter how shocking or thrilling the sounds and scenes were, she was not the least bit afraid. Rather, she was watching with great interest and would let out a snort from time to time.It was like she was not impressed by this low-budget horror movie and was mocking those ridiculous special effects.She was treating it like comedy.Eric clenched his fists tightly. All those scenarios he had in his head did not happen. The anticipation and fervor in his heart also dissipated with each time she snorted. He looked up and stared grimly at this so-called horror film.He hated it to death.Nicole did not touch the popcorn or Coke the entire time.The couple in front of them were already glued as one as they shared a seat.When the movie
