Eric’s gaze deepened. A trace of panic flashed in Nicole’s eyes before she glared at Eric with some annoyance.The two of them were uncompromising.They were in extreme proximity to each other, so much so that Nicole could feel Eric’s breath in her face.Nicole’s heart was racing for a moment. She lifted her arms to push him away, but in the next second, Eric held her hand. His gaze was dark and deep as he looked at her.His voice was low and raspy.“Nicole, what else do I have to do for you to forgive me?”His plea and show of weakness felt like he wanted to cut his heart open so that she could see his sincerity.Nicole tilted her head to look at him. Her heart trembled slightly like it was electrocuted. After a while, she chuckled.“Mr. Ferguson, you don’t have to do anything because I never look back.”Her heart was as cold as a rock.At this moment, a set of heavy, unfamiliar footsteps came from the side.Who could be so insensitive as to interrupt them at this time?“M

Ivy’s unorthodox tactics were exposed under the sun. There was no escape.She sat there and waited until dusk because she dared not leave.Ivy had thought of countless tricks to deal with Nicole’s reactions.What would Nicole do to her?Would Nicole get angry, annoyed, or hit her? Ivy’s target was Eric Ferguson, which Nicole was aware of. Thus, Ivy thought that no matter what, Nicole would treat her a little differently.However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that she was nothing to Nicole.Just as how Nicole hired her openly, Nicole could also fire her at will.Nicole walked out of the office confidently in her stilettos. Besides her bodyguard and assistant, some department heads flanked her sides to consult her opinion on urgent matters.They all looked at Nicole ingratiatingly and respectfully.That kind of mighty aura was something Ivy dared not even imagine having. Ivy suddenly noticed the gap between herself and Nicole.Even if Ivy’s status as a chairman’s ill

Joy Harrison’s face was glum as she scolded Ivy Harrison. Joy finally could not stand it and went up to slap Ivy.“It’s all your fault! What exactly did you do to make Nicole so angry? The high-society ladies are now laughing at me for having such a useless sister like you!”The elite circle was not very big, to begin with. Harrison Corporation was only big domestically and was not on the same level as the internationally renowned Stanton Corporation. Thus, Joy’s circle was not the same as Nicole’s.Joy knew that Nicole’s circle was composed of the ultimate elites who stood at the top of the food chain, and she could only look up to her.Ivy’s face was hot and painful from the slap.All she felt was panic and shame.It turned out that Nicole was not oblivious to what Ivy had done to her.Nicole did not bother to deal with Ivy and went directly to Harrison Corporation.The Harrison family was to take responsibility for Ivy’s mistakes.This was a clear warning to Ivy so that she

Nicole could not read Lil Michael’s thoughts, so she said, “Of course, I don’t mind.”Lil Michael looked disappointed, but after seeing Tigger, he rejuvenated his spirit and hugged Tigger excitedly without letting go.They soon arrived at the restaurant.Lil Michael did not rush to get out of the car. Instead, he acted mysteriously and asked Nicole and his father to go in first.The restaurant was quiet. It looked like it had been bought out in advance.Clayton was a gentleman and walked to the front to pull out the chair for Nicole. The table was lit with candles. The atmosphere was beautiful and ambiguous.A few minutes later.Lil Michael excitedly came over with a shoebox-sized box and a big bouquet of white chrysanthemums.Nicole saw the flowers and wanted to faint.Clayton also did not expect his son to bring bereavement flowers. He froze for a moment and thought that this kid really hid it well.He seemed to regret tagging along at this moment.For a while, the two adu

Nicole was just about to rest when she received Toto’s call.She panicked, took her keys, and ran out.Nicole felt guilty when she thought about Eric limping. If his leg could never recover because of her, she was afraid that she would owe him for the rest of her life.Luca drove, so the twenty-minute journey only took ten minutes.They arrived at Imperial Gardens in a flash.As soon as Nicole went in, Toto greeted her in a panic.“Ms. Stanton, Mr. Ferguson fell down the stairs. He has a fever and is now unconscious!”Nicole knitted her brows. Her heart thumped when she heard this.“Did you call a doctor?”Toto froze and immediately spoke.“Yes... The doctor got into an accident on the way, so he’ll be delayed for a while.”Nicole went to Eric’s room and saw the man lying on the bed. His face was pale with beads of sweat on his forehead. He really looked like he had a fever.The husky circled the bed and chewed on his cane on the side.Nicole frowned. ‘How did he get a fev
