Chapter 112

Eric Ferguson could not figure out why he

felt so impatient and annoyed. under

such circumstances, why does Nicole still

have the guts to show up here? Does she

still have expectations for Grant Stanton?

Can’t she see that everyone just treats her

like trash and only wants to avoid her?’

Moreover, those flowers she was holding

were extraordinarily agonizing to him.

Eric looked at Nicole with a gloomy face.

He said with some irritation, “It doesn’t

matter what you’re up to. You’d better not

choose today of all days. Everyone is

watching you, so if you really do

something out of place, even I can’t

protect you!”

If that was the case, Old Master Ferguson

would not be the only one against Nicole,

but also the entire Stanton family.

Nicole laughed out loud, but her eyes were

cold.

“Protect me? Mr . Ferguson, when have

you ever protected me? I think you’re just

afraid of getting implicated by me and

dragging your family into it, right?”

`Aren’t the insults I have to endure from

everyone all thanks to the Fergusons? Eric

still has the cheek to say these big words

now? Does he really take me as a fool?’

Nicole thought.

Hearing her words, Eric’s heart suddenly

clenched up. He frowned tightly and knew

in his heart that Nicole must hate him and

his family, but he did not know how he

should explain it to her.

“Nicole…” Wendy Quade ran over from

not far away and stood next to Eric. Her

voice was gentle as she said, “It’s all my

fault. I know that you hate me, and I don’t

blame you for what happened last time,

but please don’t make a scene here. It’ll

just make it awkward for both sides…”

Nicole’s grim gaze swept over Wendy. She hooked her lips and said, “Blame me? Do you have no

shame?” Wendy glanced at Eric meekly. He did not look like he blamed Nicole at all. She paused for a

moment, then acted aggrieved and pretended to be magnanimous. “Nicole, you’ve already divorced Eric.

Are

you planning to hate us for life just because of the past?” Nicole glanced at her coldly. “Are you even

worthy enough for me to remember for life?” Wendy’s face turned glum. She bit her lower lip and said,

“Eric and I both hope that you can let go of the past and start over. Today is Stanton Corporation’s

anniversary gala. If something happens, you will only make it impossible for you to keep your head up.

The most important thing now is to look at the big picture!”

Eric frowned slightly. His gaze was complex and cold as he glanced at Wendy. Somehow, Wendy’s

words made him feel very uncomfortable. Nicole’s lips twitched as she glared at the scumbag and b*tch

standing in front of her. Each one of them was more hypocritical and abominable than the other, which

made her feel repulsed. `Look at the big picture? Me leaving is looking at the big picture?’ Nicole

thought. “Who will that benefit? You guys? You

“Who will that benefit You guys? You

want me to leave so that no one will know

that you both had an extramarital affair?

Save that pitiful h*tch act and stop being so nauseating. Both of your existence is the

biggest joke around here.”

Nicole was very upset, but she did not

have the mood to continue babbling on

with these two and only left that sarcastic

remark. She saw Yvette waving at her

from not far away, so she carelessly swept

a glance at the two people in front of her

and walked away without another word.

Wendy felt resentful from being scolded by Nicole. She glanced at Eric from time to

time thinking that he would speak up for

them.

However, when Eric heard the words ”

extramarital affair”, his expression was

visibly complex and cold, and his eyes

were incredibly dark.

He stood there and watched as Nicole’s

back disappear before him, then withdrew

his gaze and turned to leave.

“Eric… Why did Nicole become like this?

She seems to hate seeing us together. It

looks like she’s had enough after

pretending for so long…” Wendy spoke tentatively and watched Eric’s reaction. ‘Why is he so indifferent

to Nicole’s

outburst just now?’ Wendy thought.

Eric frowned slightly and his tone was

cold. “What are you trying to say?”

Wendy was stunned. She bit her lower lip,

and her eyes became a little red. “I was

trying to say that maybe Nicole has a

point. We’ll be misunderstood by others if

we appear together… So, maybe… Maybe I

should leave first…”

She knew very well that Eric would not let

her leave first.

For one, it would be impolite to the Air Stantons.

Moreover, if Eric did not have a

female companion by his side, it was

inevitable that others would talk.

Wendy only proposed this so that Eric

would notice her presence and would

realize how understanding she was

compared to the unreasonable Nicole.

Eric’s gaze was cold. He looked at his

Eric’s gaze was colded looked at his

watch and said indifferently, “Alright, get

the driver to send you back”

After that, he turned around and left

without looking back.

Wendy was left alone, looking lost and

grim at the door.

“Wendy, come here quickly! My mother is

looking for you everywhere…” Ingrid

waved at her.

Wendy ran over to Ingrid like she had

seen her savior. ‘With Quinn and Ingrid

around, Eric won’t send me away, right?’

“What’s wrong? What did you and my

brother talk about that made you look like

this?”

“Nothing.” Wendy smiled perfunctorily.

Her face was extraordinarily pale. ‘Why

did Eric allow me to leave?’

Wendy did not expect that she would

shoot herself in the foot.

Eric, who used to be responsive to her,

kept avoiding her lately.

Why?

Ever since Wendy returned from abroad,

she felt that everything was different.
