Chapter 106 Give In

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. ALLET mm LWLLO 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?”
