Eric was terrified.He was afraid of losing Nicole forever.Eric told himself not to get mad. It did not matter even if Nicole chose Clayton.He had a million ways to confine her to his life forever.Nicole was speechless and pushed him away. Her strength was much stronger than Eric, who was pretending to be sick. She sneered and said, “Then you can feel at ease being sick. The doctor will be here soon.”After she said this, she turned around.When she got downstairs, she met Toto and the doctor who came in one after another, looking unhappy and not very anxious.If Nicole had not noticed beforehand that Eric was pretending to be sick, she might not understand what was going on.Luca was following them with a serious face as he urged them.Seeing Nicole coming downstairs, Toto hurriedly greeted her.“Ms. Stanton, what do you want to take? I’ll go get it for you. You don’t need to come down personally.”She should just spend more time with Eric.Nicole gave him a cold blank

Yvette patted Nicole’s shoulder.“If you hate it, just think of Xander as Eric’s replacement and torment him. If you like it, just obsess over Xander, which will exasperate Eric to death! No matter how you look at it, you won’t lose out!”Nicole smiled faintly. “You guys sure are my besties, huh?”“That’s for sure!” The two ladies spoke in unison.Ian, who was on the side, coldly snorted. “You girls only know how to goof around…”Nicole’s eyes lit up and scooted over to him excitedly.“Carter, what do you have in mind?”‘A business idea, perhaps?’Ian smiled lazily and scrolled through his phone.“I still have eight hundred pounds of potatoes that I haven’t sold, do you wanna help?”Nicole was speechless.Julie coldly snorted. “Carter wanted me to help him pull customers for his agricultural produce at a big fashion show abroad. Do you think it’s appropriate?!”Ian glared at Julie with dissatisfaction. “What’s not appropriate about it? Do people in the fashion industry not

What an ordinary and inspiring day!Before Nicole opened her eyes, she received Yvette’s incessant call.Without needing to think, Nicole knew that the only one who would call her at this time was her best friend.When she picked up, her voice was hoarse and lazy. “Hello?”Yvette spoke in a hurry, “Nicole, you’re on the hot topic again!”Nicole’s eyes widened and felt wide awake.“Didn’t everyone leave last night? Why didn’t Xander leave and even send you off? Everyone thought that he was Eric Ferguson and thought that you guys were back together, but Eric’s friend posted another photo denying the matter. Someone then found out that it was Xander.”Nicole’s heart sank slightly.She knew very well what Xander meant to the public.It meant that her past relationship would once again become the talk of the town.Xander’s face would become everyone’s target of speculation. Was he a replacement? Or her new love interest?Nicole could already think of all the headlines that follow

It was hard not to connect the two things that happened on the same day.Everyone found out after a deeper investigation that Yannick Zabinski was the person who posted the photo to clear Eric’s name.However, everyone’s speculation was futile. Ferguson Corporation did not miss out on the formalities of acquiring a small business.Many in the circle felt that Eric’s methods were too ruthless.There were many complaints about his style of handling this.Yannick only posted a photo, but Eric pushed the Zabinskis to the brink of extinction in a fit of anger.However, no one could stop Eric’s fury.This was a lesson for everyone.The matter gradually passed, and Xander’s name came into the public eye. Although everyone did not have a very good initial impression of Xander, a lot of people still supported him because he had Eric Ferguson’s domineering face.Dominic Young also put Xander’s popularity to good use and arranged many activities for him and got him to do live streaming

Nicole was suspicious of Clayton’s deceitful blather. She was not someone who could be coaxed with mere words.Clayton met her gaze and said frankly, “Less than a year… But every day since I met you, I’ve been very happy to find out that you’re single. Nicole, let’s start anew. My name is Clayton Sloan. I was widowed three years ago, and I have a son.”He lowered his eyes and smiled a little self-deprecatingly. “I know that sounds like poor conditions, but I have a lot of money. I’m not quite sure on the exact amount, but if you want to know, I can get someone to tally it up, but it may take a little longer because I can’t remember all the assets that I have. Also…”Clayton paused for a moment. He looked serious, and his warm gaze seemed to glow.“Michael is actually my late brother’s son. Due to certain religious beliefs and traditions, I had no choice but to marry Michael’s mother so that her family would agree to her giving birth to Michael.”Nicole stiffened. She suddenly did
