Seeing Nicole fall silent, Clayton pursed his lips.

“I’m sorry. I’m not trying to force you into anything, but you promised me that you’ll give me a chance. You… Won’t go back on your word, right?”

Nicole bit her lower lip and suddenly felt her face burn up a little.

She thought it might be because of the lack of air circulation in the confined space of the car.

She answered quickly and immediately changed the topic. “Mr. Sloan, aren’t you curious about how Asher and I met?” Clayton paused and smiled. “How did you meet?”

Nicole was eager to make the atmosphere casual and normal again, so she simply spoke of the past.

“Asher was just a low-level manager in Cyndro International a few years ago. I worked under him when I was interning abroad.”

Clayton looked at her in surprise.

There was too much information in her words.

With her background in Stanton Corporation, did Nicole still need an internship?

Did Asher become the Vice President of Cyndro International in just a few years?

However, Asher did not know Nicole’s true identity.

“But looking at your relationship, you don’t seem like old friends…”

Nicole raised her brows and snorted coldly.

“He’s indeed capable, but he’s the type to climb to the top by hook or by crook. I attended a party with him before. His partner obviously didn’t have good intentions and tried to make me drink. Asher actually encouraged it as well. Heh… This kind of person is completely unscrupulous. How can I be friends with him?”

It was no wonder that her attitude toward Asher tonight was not warm and familiar but somewhat contemptuous instead.

Clayton pursed his lips, his voice low and gentle. “Then what happened? You didn’t drink, did you?”

There was obvious concern in his voice.

Nicole said, “I suspected that the glass of wine was spiked. Not only did I not drink it, but I also splashed the wine on his face in front of everyone, resigned on the spot, and left.”

Clayton inclined his head to look at Nicole. He raised his brows, and his tone was extraordinarily relieved.

“As expected of Ms. Stanton. A real warrior should dare to draw their sword!”

What she did was clearly very satisfying.

After all, Nicole did not go to Cyndro International to beg for food. She went there to learn.

If all she learned was dirty trading methods, it would just be a waste of time for her to stay.

How could she, a high-society lady from an affluent family, suffer through such unspoken grievances?

Nicole also smiled and became slightly surprised.

“How did a person like that manage to become Vice President?”

The Vice President of Cyndro International was not just the vice president of a certain region, but the person who was above everyone else in the whole company.

The speed at which Asher rose in the corporate ladder was like he was strapped to a rocket.

Clayton smiled.

“If he’s a person who can bring huge benefits to the company, few people will pay attention to his private life. Also, Asher’s reputation in the circle isn’t bad. Although he’s shrewd and scheming, he’s also very generous.”

Seeing the change in Nicole’s expression, Clayton immediately changed his tune.

“Maybe everyone just saw what he’s like on the surface, but you saw his true colors!”

Nicole’s expression looked better, feeling satisfied with Clayton’s correction.

She nodded with certainty. “That’s right!” That must be it!

When they arrived at the movie theater, Clayton told her to wear his jacket.

Nicole thought about it and nodded in agreement for fear of freezing to death.

She turned the collar up, which covered half of her face. This way, no one would recognize her.

Clayton saw her huddled in his jacket and smiled helplessly before he went to buy tickets.

He came back in less than two minutes.

Nicole’s wide eyes looked around at the popular movies’ posters. They all looked good.

Clayton tugged at her empty sleeve and walked forward. “ Only one film is still showing now.”

So, there was no choice.

Asher saw Nicole’s cold attitude and decided to take a different approach.

Since the emotional route did not work, he tried to throw out the bait.

After all, there were too many countries in Mediania that wanted to cooperate with Cyndro International.

Nicole smiled and lifted her eyes coldly.

“Sorry, but I don’t think we have a chance to cooperate.”

When Clayton heard this, he understood that Asher and Nicole were just acquaintances.

Clayton looked at the coldness on Nicole’s face and walked forward with a smile, putting his hand gently on her shoulder.

”Didn’t you say that you wanted to watch a movie? It’s about time…”

Nicole looked at him and smiled, nodding naturally. ’then let’s go!”

The two of them left under Asher’s gaze.

Asher cursed silently and helplessly finished the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Mitchell saw the scene earlier clearly.

He walked over. ”Mr. Sul livan, do you know Ms. Stanton?”

Asher nodded and did not hide it since Mitchell was one of Eric’s men.

“I don’t just know her. I’m very familiar with her! But why is

she here? Is she working in Ferguson Corporation?”

Mitchell did not answer and smiled. “She’s the President of Stanton Corporation, Ms. Nicole Stanton. She’s also…

President Ferguson’s ex-wife.”

Asher’s face stiffened. “Holy sh*t!” That news obviously shocked him!

After knowing “Annie” for so long, Asher still did not know everything about her.

Asher put down his stuff in a hurry and ran to find Eric.

Nicole and Clayton left together.

As soon as she went out, she felt the cold wind that felt like it was trying to drill into her every pore.

It was too cold.

However, the next second, a warm and quiet fragrance instantly wrapped around her shoulders. Clayton draped his jacket over her body.

“This is my opportunity to appeal to you, so you can’t refuse me!”

Nicole’s words of thanks slipped around her mouth before she swallowed them down.

She smiled. “What a good opportunity…” Clayton smiled gently. “Goodbye.”

Nicole was confused. “Didn’t you want to see a movie?”

The man froze and suddenly turned red. “I thought it was just an excuse to help you get away…”

“Let’s go together. It’s still early, so think of it as thanks for helping me.”

Clayton’s eyes were warm as he looked at her. “It would be my pleasure.”

The two of them got into the car, and Nicole sighed in relief at the warmth.

Clayton hesitated but finally opened his mouth.

“Actually, I’ve been trying to find a chance to apologize to you.”

“Why?”

“I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable that time at the gym. It wasn’t my intention. I’m serious about pursuing you. I’m not deliberately taking advantage of you to get back at someone else.”

After speaking, he glanced at Nicole next to him in silence.

She did not take this matter to heart at all and did not expect Clayton to remember it for so long.

Were her words too heavy at that time?

Nicole looked sideways at Clayton. The profile of his face was smoothly outlined by the light outside. His eyes were warm and sincere, full of apologies.

“It’s okay, Mr. Sloan. Using people harmlessly is just a way of protecting yourself. I won’t mind.”

“But I’m not pursuing you to use you. I’m pursuing you because I like you, Nicole.”

His face was solemn, and his gentle and modest look seemed slightly anxious.

He was explaining himself.

The car was silent for a moment.

Nicole’s eyes flickered, obviously a little nervous.

She had heard confessions like that so many times that she had become indifferent.

However, when Clayton said it so bluntly, it was like a feather brushing over the tip of her heart, making her whole body feel moved with a tingling feeling.

Trying to attack someone stronger than oneself would only bring about one’s own destruction

The glass in Clayton’s hand gently touched Nicole’s, his senile gentle and light.

*What are you thinking about? I didn’t expect Mr. Ferguson to turn the tide like this. He won beautifully.”

Nicole looked away. The resplendent and magnificent hall did not drive away the lonely figure in her mind.

She tried to make herself indifferent.

Her tone also became relaxed.

Nicole fraze and turned her head to locka

Clayton pursed his lips as his expression became slightly complicated,

“Although Mr. Ferguson was unharmed, di’s clear that he was deserted by his family. Do you sympathize with him?

He asked as if he really wanted to know the answer

Nicole blinked and spoke in a clear and indifferent tone.

“I’m quite happy about Old Master Ferguson’s fate, but that doesn’t mean I’m on the same battlefield as Eric.”

A feeling like sympathy should only be for the weak

Was Eric weak?

He looked away as if mailing HpHd, but Nicole gave hilina

That last sentence made her a little overwhelmed

Fortunately, he did not continue.

There would not be anything more exciting happening next

Just as Nicole was planning to leave early, she suddenlysaw Asher walking over

He held a glass of wine and looked at Nicole with a smile on his face.

“I thought I saw wrongly, but it’s really you, Annie!”

Annie was a nickname given to her by Asher based on her middle name “Ann” when Nicole was in Cyndro International.

Although Nicole never liked this nickname, Asher was her boss at that time, so he had the final say.

Nicole smiled. “It’s been a long time, Mr.

Nicole said, “That means I didn’t miss you enough.”

Asher Was spechless

To the side, Clayton was a little surprised. You two are acquainted?”

Nicole nodded, not wanting to talk abouther time abroad since it was too much trouble to explain

On the contrary, Asher smiled. “We’re old friends. Mr. Sloan, I’ve heard a lot about you. Many of my friends in Libertyhave introduced you to me, but I never found an opportunity to meet you. Whata pleasant surprise!”

Asher and Clayton shook hands politely and then let go

“You’re very polite, Mr. Sullivan. It’s indeed a pleasant surprise to meet here.”

Nicole’s mouth stiffened slightly. “We don’t have that much to catch up on.” +

To be honest, although Asher taught her many things, they were not on the same page in some ways.

Old Master Ferguson was trembling with anger as he pointed to Mitchell beside Eric.

“Mitchell introduced Asher from Cyndro International to me just so I would sell the shares to retaliate against you. Since your eyes are everywhere in Mediania, I would definitely choose a foreign company instead of a domestic one… You— You planned all this!”

Mitchel calmly stood by Eric’s side and spoke unhurriedly.

“Old Master Ferguson, no one forced you to sell your shares. If it stayed in your own hands, you would still be a part of Ferguson Corporation. President Ferguson doesn’t care about Ferguson Corporation’s scattered shares.

Everyone can have a piece of the pie. It was you who united with people from Ferguson Corporation’s branches to go against the president. Have you ever thought of Ferguson Corporation’s fate if it fell into the hands of other people?”

“Shut up. You have no right to speak up here!”

Old Master Ferguson took his anger out on Mitchell.

This person who had seemingly betrayed Eric was actually more loyal than anyone else.

Mitchell pursed his lips expressionlessly and did not make another sound.

There was no trace of smugness on Eric’s face, but there was a cold glint in his eyes.

“Old Master Ferguson, you let me sit in this position. Haven’t you ever thought about how many loose ends you left behind after you retired?

Those old friends of yours emptied the entire company and the accounts are heavily in debt. Do you think I stepped on your shoulders to get to where I am today?”

There was no trace of warmth in his words. Old Master Ferguson’s eyes flickered for a moment as he stared at Eric with narrowed eyes.

“You’re trying to bite the hand that fed you?”

Eric’s face was cold and quiet. “I cleaned up the mess for you and never pursued your faults. I did that for the sake of beneficence.

However, did you want to use an empty shell of Ferguson Corporation to blackmail me for life? In that case, I don’t mind digging out the pieces of evidence left behind at the beginning. I’ll let everyone know how pathetic Ferguson Corporation was when I first took over it.”

Outsiders thought that it was beautiful, but as soon as Eric took over, he realized that the inside was shaky and that it would collapse soon.

However, he could not leave it be. At that time, Old Master Ferguson’s expectations for him were too great, and he did not want to let Old Master Ferguson down.

Thus, he filled the hole little by little and reorganized a comeback so that Ferguson Corporation stood firmly in the leading position.

He was already extremely benevolent.

The current Ferguson Corporation was a force that he created with his own hands. It was not the same as the Ferguson Corporation of the past.

Old Master Ferguson’s body shook fiercely, and his eyes darkened as he looked at this gloomy young man.

He had to admit that he was no longer in control.

From today on, he no longer had anything that he could threaten Eric with. Eric was invincible.

Slowly, he exhaled a breath.

“Eric Ferguson, I underestimated you. You went out of your way to make an enemy out of the entire Ferguson family for the sake of a woman?”

His cloudy gaze looked down and glanced in Nicole’s direction with a strange smile.

”But does that woman know? She doesn’t care at all because she doesn’t look up to you. Eric, you’re also quite pitiful…”

Eric’s eyes trembled slightly as his expression sank.

”The assets and real estate under your name are enough for you to squander the rest of your life. If we can’t live together peacefully in the future, then let’s not have any relations with each other anymore.”

Then, Eric turned around and left.

Every step of this whole farce was him giving the Old Master a chance to back out.

The ridiculous love he had for the Ferguson family was finally gone today.

When they sent him abroad for training, there was no affection at all, and when the Old Master took him to his side, he no longer needed affection.

Eric was always alone.

Not many people noticed when Eric left the party, but Nicole saw him…

Asher smiled calmly and spoke appropriately.

“Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear just now. Let me formally introduce you to the President of Cyndro International, Mr. Eric Ferguson!”

As soon as he finished, Mitchell, who was standing in front, suddenly took the lead in clapping.

One after another, applause rang out in the venue.

They were undoubtedly welcoming the President of Cyndro International and acknowledging the multiple identities of Eric from Ferguson Corporation.

Was it surprising?

Everyone was already in awe of Eric’s power, but it turns out that he was also the President of Cyndro International. His status was even more unreachable.

Eric’s face was cold as his dark eyes glanced at all the people present. The moment he saw Nicole, he paused slightly, and his thin lips curled into a small smile. Then, he said with a low and cold voice.

“Everyone, the cooperation between Cyndro International and Ferguson Corporation is a brand-new beginning. This was Old Master Ferguson’s final decision after discussing it with the company shareholders. On behalf of Cyndro International, I would like to say that I’m very optimistic about this cooperation.

I’m not just talking about the transfer of shares, but also the expansion of a whole new field for Ferguson Corporation, which has great

significance for both companies!”

The crowd was silent for a moment at those words. Then, applause rang out, more enthusiastic than earlier.

As soon as Eric opened his mouth, everyone knew that he had known about this beforehand. It turned out that Old Master Ferguson had not sold his shares privately, but that it was Ferguson Corporation’s new plan in the business world.

In that case, the grandness and suddenness of the party seemed justifiable.

The strange look in everyone’s expressions disappeared.

Only Old Master Ferguson’s face suddenly became pale and dark, and extremely ugly.

However, Eric easily said a few words and put everyone at ease.

Asher also went down to talk very enthusiastically. Everyone was naturally willing to cooperate with Cyndro International and could not wait to go up and exchange pleasantries with him.

Eric stood there, and the atmosphere became tense and silent as soon as he locked eyes with Old Master Ferguson.

Mitchell took a few steps over, looked at Old Master Ferguson, and walked up to Eric’s side. “President, there is no problem with the contract.”

In other words, Old Master Ferguson made a whole farce and went to great lengths just to send his shares to Eric’s hands.

What a ridiculous joke!

Old Master Ferguson had gone from shock to anger at this point. He was about to have a heart attack. His body trembled as he reached out and pointed at Eric.

“Cyndro International is yours? It’s actually yours?”

He thought that Eric was only where he was today because he had single-handedly put Eric on the top.

Without him and Ferguson Corporation, Eric would be nothing! He would have nothing!

Unexpectedly, the huge and mysterious Cyndro International actually turned out to be Eric’s?

Cyndro International’s capital was strong and complex. It was even more powerful than the Ferguson Corporation.

It was no wonder Eric never did anything and was indifferent to what Old Master Ferguson did in the shadows.

It turned out that Eric had long anticipated that such a day would arrive.

Eric’s face was indifferent and cold, and his eyes were dark as he looked at Old Master Ferguson. He spoke with a tight expression.

“It’s mine.”

“You’ve been hiding it until now just for this day?”

Old Master Ferguson coughed twice in anger, his face pale and ugly.

Eric’s voice was cold as he said slowly, “No, I never intended for there to be any interactions between Cyndro International and Ferguson Corporation. You were the one who single-handedly created this situation.”

Cyndro International’s existence was only to prove that he could stand firm even if he left Ferguson Corporation.

Eric stayed in Ferguson Corporation because of his responsibility to the family.

Old Master Ferguson’s eyes glared fiercely, and his face twitched when he saw Mitchell standing beside Eric.

“How dare you say that? Mitchell was also a false defector that was moving according to your orders, right?”

Everyone was shocked.

Old Master Ferguson frowned. “The President of Cynd ro International is here?”

He had clearly only heard about the Vice President, Asher Sullivan, coming to Mediania.

The President of Cyndro International was mysterious, and very few people had met him. All of Cyndro International’s matters, whether large or small, were handed over to professional agents.

However, those professional agents acted in accordance with this mysterious president’s intention.

Unqualified agents who had been working for them for several years would be replaced directly.

That was until Asher was accepted. He stayed in the position of Vice President for the longest time.

Therefore, the name Asher Sullivan of Cyndro International was well known in the industry.

Asher could fully represent Cyndro International. Everyone was interested in the person behind Cyndro International, but they could not figure it out.

Therefore, when Asher suddenly announced the presence of Cyndro International’s President, everyone’s curiosity grew even greater!

No one expected that the mysterious president would actually appear.

The atmosphere was tense and uneasy. “Mr. Sullivan, is the president really here?”

“Will Cyndro International start expanding in Mediania’s market?”

“I heard that their president is very mysterious, and people staying in the company might not see him for the entire year. The president will only directly contact the vice president…”

In the face of various expressions, Asher smiled faintly and remained calm.

He nodded slightly and answered Old Master Ferguson’s question.

”Yes, our president is here. When he learned that Old Master Ferguson was willing to transfer your shares to Cyndro International, he was very happy. From now on, Cyndro International and Ferguson Corporation are a family.”

Old Master Ferguson’s expression changed a few times and became slightly gloomy.

He interrupted Asher’s words and spoke bluntly. “Where is he? Why don’t you invite him up?” Asher smiled.

He took a step back, stepped aside, raised his hands, and looked at Eric.

“He’s right here, isn’t he, President Ferguson?”

As soon as his words fell, the noisy voices in the room instantly fell silent.

Even a pin dropped to the ground could be heard clearly.

On the stage, Old Master Ferguson’s expression turned incredulous and was a little hideously twisted.

The people below also looked at Asher’s news in disbelief. “Cyndro International belongs to Mr. Ferguson?”

“Mr. Sullivan, are you mistaken? Mr. Ferguson is the President of Cyndro International?”

“Yeah, how could that be? Old Master Ferguson sold his shares to Cyndro International, but they still ended up in Mr. Ferguson’s hands?”

“That‘s right, why not just give the shares to Mr. Ferguson then? What was the point of the whole detour?”

The people began to whisper and discuss…

Nicole stood there. Her expression much calmer after she got past the surprise.

The President of Cyndro International was Eric Ferguson. This was someone that no one expected.

However, after knowing this fact, it was not unacceptable.

After all, the capital behind Eric was not just Ferguson Corporation, and his capabilities were by no means limited to Ferguson Corporation.

She had a lot of assets abroad too, much less other people.

However, it was certain that Old Master Ferguson did not know about this situation at all!

Perhaps Old Master Ferguson thought he dug a hole for Eric, but in fact, it was Eric who set a trap for Old Master Ferguson.

The people below were still whispering. On the stage, Old Master Ferguson lost his patience and spoke with an agitated and impolite voice.

“Silence!”

Everyone instantly became quiet.

Old Master Ferguson turned to look at Asher, his cloudy eyes shining with a hint of ruthlessness.

“Mr. Sullivan, what did you mean by that? What does Cyndro International have to do with Eric?”

Read Chapter 875 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Anyone could see that this was Old Master Ferguson’s revenge on Eric.

Eric could force Old Master Ferguson to leave, but he could not force him to dispose of his shares.

This matter also made people wonder if Eric’s domination in the business world had come to an end.

“Next, please welcome Cyndro International’s Vice President, Mr. Asher Sullivan to reach a friendly agreement with us on behalf of Cyndro International!”

Old Master Ferguson stretched out his hand, and an unfamiliar but handsome face appeared from one side.

Asher Sullivan.

Nicole narrowed her eyes. If she was not mistaken, she had worked for Asher when she was abroad as an intern.

However, Asher was just a department manager at that time. She did not expect him to become a vice president so soon!

Nevertheless, his ability was outstanding, so it was only a matter of time before he made a name for himself.

Without thinking much, Asher stood on the stage, smiling quietly no matter how many eyes were staring at him, and shook hands with Old Master Ferguson.

Then, the scene was silent.

Everyone was waiting for the match between Asher and Eric.

Nicole felt that something was wrong.

According to Eric’s character, he would not let the situation go this far.

Old Master Ferguson showed his equity transfer agreement in full view of everyone so that Eric could not make a single move.

He wanted to make it so that Eric had no chance to fight back and let everyone know that his shares were sold to Cyndro International.

Eric was confident, right?

He would teach that self-righteous and frivolous Eric Ferguson a lesson. He was the one who gave Eric his position in the beginning, but Eric dared to fight against him now that he became fully-fledged? This was the consequence of his actions.

Then, Old Master Ferguson smiled meaningfully.

“Eric, you’re still young, so you need to learn more from Mr. Sullivan and Cyndro International. You’ll be cooperating with them for a long time to come, so come up and say a few words…”

He wanted to let everyone know about Eric’s current situation!

With those words, he let everyone know that Eric was not as good as Asher.

Eric lifted his eyes, his expression sullen and cold, and his gaze dark.

The aura around him was cold and indifferent as always with a noble air.

Under everyone’s gaze, he finally put down the glass in his hand and walked up with his long legs.

Unexpected Iy, when Asher saw Eric, he first smiled and moved so he no longer stood at the main position. He held out his hand respectfully.

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Ferguson. “

Eric’s eyes were dim as he shook hands with Asher. His voice was low and hoarse, just enough that the three people on the stage could hear him.

“Mr. Sullivan, I told Mitchell to pick you up. How did you end up with the Old Master?”

At those words, Old Master Ferguson smiled smugly. Asher shrugged, looking indifferent.

“I’m here anyway, so it doesn’t matter who I come with!”

Eric withdrew his hand. His figure was tall and upright as he stood there intimidatingly.

On the stage, there was no doubt that Eric was the most attention-grabbing person.

Although in everyone’s eyes, he was being caught between a rock and a hard place, his status and aura had already overpowered everyone.

“Yes, it’s all the same.”

Eric’s lips curled in a cold and wicked smile. He looked at Old Master Ferguson meaningfully.

Old Master Ferguson’s heart thumped when he saw Eric’s smile, and his expression froze.

Eric’s tone was cold and indifferent as he turned his head to look at the guests.

“I believe that Cyndro International will be able to cooperate well with Ferguson Corporation.”

That sentence undoubtedly acknowledged Cyndro International’s status and qualifications in Ferguson

Corporation.

Asher smiled and walked over. Looking at everyone, he spoke in a voice that did not seem as light as before.

“Of course. Let me introduce to you all, the President of Cyndro International…”

Read Chapter 874 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

At Nicole’s words, everyone unanimously looked at Old Master Ferguson.

He was the person in charge of the Ferguson family. Although he stepped down from Ferguson Corporation, his prestige was still there, so he could not be taken lightly.

On occasions like this, he was the eldest and had the most seniority, so he would undoubtedly become the focus of the whole event.

The silent Eric had no intention to steal the limelight. No one noticed that Eric was unusually quiet today.

Old Master Ferguson saw that it was almost time and there were enough people.

He stood firm with his old back and walked away, his shrewd and cunning eyes flashing with pride.

Soon, he stood there with all eyes on him.

“Dear friends, it’s a great honor to invite you to Ferguson Corporation’s party today. I’m sure you all are curious about what the theme of today’s banquet is.”

His eyes slowly swept through the crowd and gazed at Eric’s face below the stage.

Eric leaned lazily against a wine cabinet, casually swirling a glass of red wine carelessly in his hand, his face incredibly calm, wild, and indifferent.

Eric was not curious and did not stop him.

Old Master Ferguson’s smile flashed with a touch of ferocious pride.

He raised his voice and spoke.

“I’ve decided to officially transfer 20% of the shares in my hand, as well as the proxy shares of the other branches of Ferguson Corporation, to Cyndro International!”

Everyone was in an uproar.

Even Nicole and Clayton exchanged glances in shock. Nicole subconsciously glanced at Eric. He stood there in silence with no ripples in his eyes, as if this had nothing to do with him.

Old Master Ferguson’s shares along with the proxy shares o f the other side branches were close to thirty percent.

In other words, Ferguson Corporation had no scattered capital besides Eric and Cyndro International.

It was both a good and bad thing for the corporation.

Old Master Ferguson had undoubtedly arranged a strong enemy for Eric.

He made it so that Eric had to go through Cyndro International before making any decisions in the future.

This move was really ruthless!

Old Master Ferguson looked at everyone’s reaction with satisfaction and continued.

“Cynd ro International’s reputation is world-renowned, and their company philosophy coincides with Ferguson Corporation. Although I’ve stepped down from Ferguson Corporation, I hope that Ferguson Corporation will be integrated into the world’s development with a brand-new and more perfect attitude. As our shareholder and partner, Cyndro International will support Ferguson Corporation and walk together into the future!”

The rest was nothing more than grand and polite words. Old Master Ferguson finished speaking.

The people below the stage were silent for a moment.

Then, someone took the lead in clapping, and the sound of scattered applause sounded.

If Nicole was right, the person who led the applause was Mitchell.

This scene was slightly bizarre.

Clayton tilted his head and lowered his voice. “Cyndro International… Old Master Ferguson is really

sinister. He would give up the company to others rather than let his grandson have the advantage.”

Although Nicole was also a little surprised, this was indeed something the vengeful Old Master Ferguson was capable of.

It was just too nasty.

”Yes, Old Master Ferguson has always been arbitrary. How would he be willing to be put on a leash by Eric? Cyndro International is one of the most extensive companies abroad. They have a complicated capital and deep background. Once they get involved with Ferguson Corporation, I’m afraid they won’t let go that easily.”

After all, Cyndro International annexed a few companies and grew at a very rapid pace.

When Nicole was studying abroad, she learned a lot in this company during her internship.

She felt some sympathy for Eric. What did it feel like to be betrayed?

Read Chapter 873 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Eric’s gloomy expression was extremely cold.

He was just about to walk over when Keith suddenly grabbed his hand. “Old Master Ferguson is going there…”

According to Eric’s tense relationship with the Old Master now, he naturally would refuse to meet him.

Old Master Ferguson walked over in a good mood. His face was tough and confident, and his cloudy eyes were shrewd and calculating.

“Nicole, welcome…”

Nicole did not expect Old Master Ferguson to take the initiative to say hello to her.

Last time, he asked her out in the name of Golden Sea Corporation and wanted to use her to deal with Eric.

Now that they met again, he was pretending that nothing happened?

If not for the fact that Nicole came over to see the show, she would not want to meet Old Master Ferguson.

This cunning old man was not kind at all.

Nicole smiled. There were many people around, so she naturally would not put herself in an awkward position.

“Chairman… Sorry, I meant Old Master Ferguson. Thank you for your invitation.”

She raised her glass and smiled.

Old Master Ferguson’s face stiffened but he soon recovered.

Beside her, Clayton stepped forward. “Old Master Ferguson stepped down from Ferguson Corporation presumably to enjoy his life. We can’t address him wrongly anymore, Nicole.”

Nicole smiled faintly and played along with Clayton’s words.

“My bad. I was just too used to it.”

In other people’s eyes, she had simply addressed him wrongly.

However, Old Master Ferguson knew that she was mocking him for failing to seize power!

He could only swallow down that unspoken grievance.

Old Master Ferguson’s wrinkled face stiffened for a moment. He looked at Nicole with flashing eyes.

“You’re a child, so I won’t take it to heart. But looking at the two of you, I finally know why you’re always rejecting Eric… Mr. Sloan is indeed an exceptional talent. I heard that his position in the investment circle in Liberty is pivotal. I’m very happy that you two can be together!”

Old Master Ferguson looked benevolent and spoke meaningfully.

Nicole frowned. His words would cause other people to misunderstand. How annoying!

The people around who heard his words almost came up to congratulate them!

However, she did not know how to explain this story that came out of nowhere.

The look on her face was cold to hide her anxiety, and she was more than a little annoyed.

Beside her, Clayton patted her shoulder and spoke with a gentle smile.

“Thank you for your recognition, Old Master Ferguson, but I’m still in the middle of the pursuit. Although I hope that Ms. Stanton can accept me, I don’t want to make everyone misunderstand this and cause unnecessary troubles to her.”

Nicole glanced sideways, her eyes crystal clear and beautiful. She faintly froze when she looked at him.

For some reason, Clayton was clarifying the unspoken misunderstanding instead of adding fuel to the fire and taking advantage of the opportunity to force her to agree. His actions were too heart-warming to her.

He really was a considerate, thoughtful, and impeccable man…

The gossip in the eyes of the people around them was extinguished.

Clayton’s explanation seemed to clarify his relationship with Nicole, but he was actually announcing his pursuit of the woman.

Not far away, Eric heard Clayton’s words and his sullen face suddenly tightened before his dark eyes lit up for a moment.

It turns out that they were not together.

His tightly clenched fingers loosened, and he secretly sighed with relief.

Nicole did not want to continue to be the center of the conversation and immediately said, “Old Master Ferguson, what exactly is the theme of this party?”

A few seconds later, Keith urged him. “Then hurry up and go to her. Go in together as her companion…”

The surrounding men were watching Nicole intently, but Eric was still in the mood to sit here?

Eric’s expression changed and he hesitated for a moment before trying to open the door.

Keith immediately grabbed his arm, his tone becoming strange.

“Nevermind. I’ll go with you. I’m your companion today!”

Eric shook his hand away in disgust. His eyes flashed as he suddenly looked outside.

Clayton and Nicole were standing together, their smiles bright and brilliant. The handsome man and beautiful woman stood together, looking especially attractive like a painting.

At that moment, the temperature in the car suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Eric’s face was gloomy and cold, and his dark eyes flooded with hostility.

Old Master Ferguson even invited Clayton? He wanted Eric to suffer this much?

Eric expected Old Master Ferguson to invite Nicole.

Old Master Ferguson probably wanted to let Eric’s favorite woman watch his failure, trampling ruthlessly on his dignity as a man and completely ruining him. 1

However, that was not enough.

He invited Nicole to make a joke out of Eric, and he invited Clayton to throw stones at him while he was down.

As expected of the person who understood Eric the most. Every decision Old Master Ferguson made was to sprinkle salt on Eric’s wound.

What a thoughtful old man…

At that moment, Eric clenched both his fists. Even the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Keith did not know how the Ferguson family arranged the party. Why did this scene happen?

Were they trying to anger Eric to death?

He wanted to scold them, but it seemed that no matter how he scolded them, he would end up scolding Eric as well.

Forget it…

After a long time, they watched as Nicole and Clayton went inside arm-in-arm.

Keith finally smiled. “Let’s go. It’s almost time.”

He did not know the real purpose of the party and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

However, as Eric’s best friend, he would naturally stand by Eric’s side unconditionally.

Mitchell suddenly appeared outside and knocked on Eric’s side of the window.

Eric opened the door and got out while steadying his mood. Keith hurriedly followed.

At the entrance of the hotel was the Old Master’s butler welcoming the guests. When he saw Eric, he paused

slightly and bowed especially respectfully. “Mr. Ferguson…”

Eric ignored him and walked inside in an imposing manner.

Many people went over to exchange pleasantries with Eric, who only nodded with a faint smile.

The banquet hall was resplendent and shining with lights.

The level of this banquet was not that high, probably because Old Master Ferguson was eager to let everyone know about Ferguson Corporation’s matters, so many people were invited.

As soon as Nicole and Clayton entered, many people came to say hello.

Although Clayton came to Mediania not long ago, his investments were cast far and wide, so he could talk in any field.

Many people had already known about Clayton.

Now, when they saw Nicole and Clayton coming and going together, they secretly speculated about the relationship between these two people…

Nicole smiled and chatted with the people on one side about which musical was good recently. Socializing with people was one of her fortes.

Clayton talked with people indifferently not far away.

His eyes were always fixed in Nicole’s direction. The bottom of his gaze was suffused with a gentle look, and he could not bear to look away even for a moment.

When the old boss next to Clayton saw his odd behavior, he smiled meaningfully.

“Mr. Sloan, people like Ms. Stanton are rare. If you like her,

you should hurry up and hold onto her. There’s a long queue behind you…”

Clayton raised his brows and gave a low chuckle. His eyes were warm but did not lose their reserved coolness.

“They shouId give up. They don’t have a chance anymore!”

At those words, Keith and Eric who were walking over suddenly froze…
