Chapter 1228
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 1228 Childish
The Stanton family could not seal the mouths of everyone who saw Nicole, let alone deliberately erase
all traces of her.
That was because the preparations they made had always been for a confrontation. It was strange.
Nicole frowned, and a doubt flashed in her mind, but she felt that it was impossible. â
Why would Eric meddle in other peopleâs business?â Grant sat there with a cold and solemn face. No
one knew what he was thinking. After lunch, Nicole ignored Floydâs request for her to stay and insisted
on leaving with Clayton. She was on her own turf. What was there to be afraid of? On the road. Clayton
drove and smiled when he saw that Nicole was lost in thought. His eyes were very warm.
âWhat are you thinking?â âNothing. Just curious about who would meddle.â Clayton paused before
speaking in a light tone. âIs there a need to think about it? It must be Mr. Fergusonâ¦â Nicole looked at
Clayton in shock.
Claytonâs side profile was so handsome and affectionate. His facial features were deep and protruding.
He had an indescribable light temperament. âAfter you went to Liberty, the only person you met who
has such power and ability is Eric Ferguson. Besides him, who else can easily clean up this mess?â
Nicole frowned as Clayton voiced out the name that she had guessed in her heart.
It really was Eric. That feeling was very intense. Yes, apart from Eric, no one else would do this.
Clayton sighed. âHe stole the show again. What a bummer.â Hearing the jealousy and regret in
Claytonâs tone, Nicole clicked her tongue. âItâs just a guess. Is he that kind?â Clayton smiled and
suddenly became happy. âAlthough I donât want to admit that heâs kind, if he were to hear you say that,
heâd die of anger on the spotâ¦â âClayton, youâre really getting more childish!â Nicole looked at Clayton
before turning away, pondering whether she should call Eric or not. There were a few seconds of
silence.
Clayton spoke. âWhy donât you call him to thank him?â Nicole pursed her lips. âDo I have to?â âOf
course. Mr. Ferguson helped you out of the kindness in his heart. We canât pretend that weâre unaware
and just accept his kindness for nothing.
No matter what, he did help us, so we owe him a favor.â Clayton spoke and took out his phone. âShould
I call?â Nicole frowned and took his phone. âYou focus on driving. Iâll callâ¦â Clayton smiled. âYeah, he
might not answer a call from me anywayâ¦â Nicole rolled her eyes. She took out her phone, found
Ericâs number, and clicked on it. In less than two rings, Eric picked up.
âHello? Nicole?â Eric seemed to be in a meeting. The noisy conference room instantly became quiet.
Nicole paused and realized that right now, it was probably not yet noon in Liberty. âAre you free? Iâll call
you back later if youâre busy.â âIâm free. Whatâs the matter?â Eric suppressed his inner excitement.
His voice still sounded calm and collected. The people in the conference room were just heatedly
discussing whether the program should go ahead or not. With a gesture from Eric, everyone instantly
quieted down. Countless eyes were fixed on Ericâs direction. His originally dark and sullen face
instantly became gentle, and even his gaze carried a few hints of joy.
There was a smile that they had never seen on Ericâs face ever since he came here. Eric stood up as
he spoke and walked out of the conference room with his long legs. Outside. Eric stood on the 33rd
floor of the tall building overlooking everything.
All the cars and people below became small and insignificant. Eric did not hear Nicole speak for a long
time. He tugged o The Stanton family could not seal the mouths of everyone who saw Nicole, let alone
