Chapter 126 My Ex-husband Is Dead

Nicole giggled and went up to Maverick

Mav, please do me a favor as a gift

instead…”

“What is it?”

“I have a project that involves artificial

intelligence. Since you’re the best expert

there is, can you please help me with a part

of it?”

Nicole sucked up to her second brother.

Maverick was a national treasure! If she

asked him to join the project, it was indeed

a little wasteful of his talent.

However, on second thought, it would also

be a waste not to make full use of her genius

brother!

Maverick nodded. ‘Sure. I have a month’s

vacation. Is that enough?”

of course, it’s enough!”

Nicole took the bank card from Maverick

and waved it in his face. “Then take this

too. Thanks, Mav!”

Maverick was speechless.

Not far away, two tall men were walking

side by side behind the Stanton siblings.

They came to poach an international talent,

so they squatted there by themselves all

night.

‘Why hasn’t the assistant sent any photos

yet?’ Keith Ludwig thought.

Keith looked at the woman and nudged Eric’s shoulder.

“What a coincidence! Isn’t that Nicole?”

Beside her was a man they had never seen

before. That man looked calm and decent

with a cool temperament. He did not look

like a businessman, but an ordinary person

at first glance.

Following Keith’s line of sight, Eric

happened to see Nicole’s side profile.

Her long and wavy hair was let down and

she was wearing a long black halter dress

with stilettos that made her legs look even

more slender than they already were. She

looked so elegant and happy as she smiled

fondly at the man next to her.

Eric subconsciously walked over just so he

could hear their conversation and her

pleasant voice.

“Why the sudden divorce?” Maverick asked.

‘Because he died,” Nicole spoke without a

thought.

“Oh.” Maverick nodded emotionlessly.

Eric and Keith’s footsteps lurched, and their

bodies suddenly stiffened.

The man who was supposedly dead was

rendered speechless.

Eric just stared intently at Nicole’s back for

a long time, but she did not seem to notice.

Keith laughed and patted his shoulder. “Don’

t look, you’re already dead!”

The photos finally came in. Keith looked

down and was about to remind Eric about

their purpose in coming here.

As a result, his body stiffened when he saw

the photo.

It was clearly the man next to Nicole!

Keith screamed, so Eric frowned at him and

caught a glimpse of the photo.

He looked just as shocked.

Nicole turned around

and frowned when she saw those two

people. What sh*tty luck!’

‘A national treasure just appears in front of

us like that?’ Keith thought.

Keith walked forward and forced a smile. ”

What a coincidence, Ms, Stanton! This is…”

He glanced at the man next to Nicole and

could not contain his excitement.

‘He’s a legend that I’ve only heard about! The

person we’re squatting here in the middle of

the night for is gonna be taken away by

Nicole? What’s more… They looked well

acquainted!’

Maverick nodded calmly. “Hello, my name

is Sunner.”

That was his pseudonym and his other

identity to the public.

No one had heard of this, nor did they

recognize it.

Nicole raised her eyes and looked at Keith.

“Are you guys stalking me? Why do I see you

everywhere I go?!”

Keith, who was suddenly attacked, retracted

his hand and forced a smile as he defended

himself.

‘Will Nicole mock me if I tell the truth? If I

don’t, then I’ll miss this chance!”

“We’re definitely not stalking you… We just

came to pick up a friend. It’s purely a

coincidence! Ms. Stanton, if you don’t want

to see me, get lost now…”

Keith himself was puzzled as to why he was

acting so servile to Nicole with Eric right

behind him.

Nicole withdrew her gaze. “Then hurry up

and get lost.”

“Okay!” Keith said as he turned to leave.

After taking two steps, he saw Eric coming

up from behind.

Eric’s eyes were cold and sullen as he

stepped forward. His gaze lingered on Nicole

‘s forehead for a few seconds,

He then looked at the man beside her and

suddenly asked, “Sunner, are you guys

friends?”

Maverick, also known as Sunner, nodded

and naturally put his arm around Nicole’s

shoulders. “Of course! She’s my best friend.”

He never lied.

After all, with Maverick’s character, he had

a total of three friends since he was a child,

all of which were his siblings.

“Let’s go,” Nicole said indifferently and took

his arm to leave.

She did not even look at Eric.
