Chapter 107 If I Don’t Like You
Nicole desperately suppressed those
surging emotions in her heart. She took a
deep breath as she held back the sourness in
her eyes.
Since things had co to this point, there
was no way to please both parties. The
only way was for Nicole to compromise.
Eric wanted Nicole to hand over the pipe to his grandfather to appease him and
divert his attention. Then, he could take
the opportunity to gain back control over
the media. He wanted to clarify the facts
for Nicole to clear her name and minimize
the damage.
“Nicole, let’s talk about the rest later.
What’s more important is solving the
matter at hand.” Eric spoke again with
forbearance.
Nicole sneered. “Don’t bother. I’m used to
being scolded, so it doesn’t matter to me.
Eric Ferguson, you’d best remember that
the most regrettable thing in my life is
being so blind to fall for a jerk like you!
Thank God it’s only been three years… I’ll
just consider this a nightmare! Also, tell
Chairman Ferguson that I will find a good
home for the emerald pipe.”
After that, Nicole hung up the phone
without hesitation. Her eyes were already
blurred with tears.
Nicole remembered when she first got
Nicole remembered Jen she first got
divorced, she wanted to know if Eric had
once felt moved or touched by her
affection for him. However, she could not
and would not ask him this because
asking would mean defeat.
That was because Eric Ferguson had never
acknowledged her as his wife.
Nicole did not want to debase herself any
longer.
Now, the answer was no longer
important, and Nicole just felt that the
question itself was simply ridiculous.
‘How absurd! The past three years of
marriage is just a self-abasing nightmare!
Nicole thought.
Keith looked at the call that was
disconnected and saw that Eric’s face was
glum and tense. He let out a nervous laugh
and said, “This woman doesn’t know any
better. Ferg, don’t bother with her. Just
wait for the heat to pass.”
He had not seen any woman who dared to
scold Eric Ferguson so blatantly and did
not even give him the chance to retaliate.
‘Nicole’s really something!
“Nicole’s really something!”
“By the way, I received an invitation to
Stanton Corporation’s anniversary party,
I heard that they’ve also invited many
mainstream domestic and foreign media
for the grand gala. Perhaps they intend to
take advantage of this opportunity to
explain the matter about Nicole, so don’t
worry about it.”
Eric’s eyes were indifferent. His face was
icy, and his voice was cold as he said, ”
I’m not worried. Forget it… She doesn’t
appreciate it anyway.”
Eric did not know what Nicole was
thinking. The situation was clearly very
tense, but Nicole was still not willing to
accept the olive branch they offered her.
‘Did she really think that Stanton
Corporation would take her in? Or will
Grant Stanton really marry her? In her
situation, anyone who gets involved with
her will be in big trouble. This stupid
woman!’ Eric thought.
