Chapter 2502 A Group of Bachelors
Eric frowned as he stood there like a god gracing his presence onto his friends.
“I don’t want to tell a bunch of bachelors like you anything…”
After Eric finished speaking, he glanced at each of them in disdain, turned around, and walked away.
Everyone thought that Eric was ridiculous. They looked at each other and finally at Keith.
“Haven’t you been with him all this time? When did this happen?”
Keith shrugged. “I don’t know. I’ve been busy taking care of my kid lately!”
He was also dumbfounded.
Another person said, “Eric is looking down on us when he has a girlfriend. I already have a girlfriend, but I didn’t tell him because I was afraid that he’d be sad. Now he wants to show off?”
“Yeah! I’ve had a few girlfriends now. If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have kept it a secret!”
“He’s such a pain in the *ss. Who is that woman though?”
……
Everyone was speculating about Eric’s girlfriend.
Only Keith kept quiet.
Keith thought that the voice over the phone was quite familiar.
Did he meet her before?
Keith thought about the recent occasions he attended. Eric did not have any female companion by his side. How could this happen…?
Oh, wait.
Chance’s birthday.
Keith’s expression changed suddenly.
He seemed to have noticed something.
At that time, Keith even teased Eric that Eric had interacted with the woman who looked very similar to Nicole more than a few times.
Was it really her?
Was it because she looked like Nicole?
Keith seemed to have glimpsed Eric’s secret.
Luckily, everyone did not notice the subtle change in Keith’s expression. Otherwise, his friends would have forced him to tell them.
If he told everyone, it would not be good for Eric.
Keith thought about it and swallowed his words.
Ferguson Corporation.
Eric came back earlier than scheduled, and Mitchell heaved a sigh of relief.
Mitchell followed Eric into the office and shut the door.
“The Yeagers have officially taken over the project in the neighboring city. When should we give them that thing?”
Eric gave up the project in the neighboring city not because he thought the Yeager family was pitiful.
Although the person who stabbed him was arrested and did not confess anything and the investigation turned out clean, Eric was still not at ease.
Eric would get his revenge.
Larry did not understand Eric well enough. That was why he dared to take over the project.
Mitchell could even predict how miserable the Yeager family would be in the future.
Eric rubbed the corners of his eyes lightly and said in a cold voice, “Now that they’ve taken over the project, it’s time to let them know how deep the water is.”
From the time they started the project, everything seemed to be going well, and the prospects were bright.
After they went deeper, they realized how bad the situation was.
All the funds were locked up as soon as they pumped it in. That was because of the interests and debts of all parties involved in the project. Thus, they could not operate normally.
Eric originally planned to abandon the project, but Larry voluntarily jumped into this trap, so Eric did not mind letting Larry take it over.
Mitchell immediately understood what Eric meant and went out to do it.
Eric looked at his phone. Except for the call in the morning, there was no other news from Selena.
He clicked into their chat box, thought about it for a moment, and then typed slowly.
[I was in a hurry this morning and forgot to turn the tap off. It wasn’t on purpose.]
Selena did not reply.
Eric continued to type. [I will pay for the repairs, and you can stay with me for the time being.]
Selena still did not reply.
Perhaps his message had already exposed his purpose.
However, it was too late for Eric to delete the message.
He bit the bullet and continued typing.
[Most people like retail therapy. Why don’t you go shopping?]
Selena still did not reply.
It seemed like she was still mad at him.
Eric put down his phone in frustration.
After a while, his phone chimed with a notification.
[Get lost!]
This was enough to vividly express her hatred.
However, Eric smiled in relief because Selena did not block him.
Eric did not realize that the bar he set for himself was already so low.
Yeager Corporation invested almost all of its assets in that project in the neighboring city.
Not only that, but they also borrowed a lot of money from the bank.
They planned to make a huge profit from this project, so they went all out.
However, when they pumped in the money, and the project was actually running, they finally discovered the problems.
The funds were locked up and vanished in just a few days.
It was like pouring a bucket of water into the sea that disappeared without a trace before they could see a splash.
Yeager Corporation was not doing well, and everyone there was suffering.
In the end, someone sent them an anonymous document.
It was the project’s arrears and the court’s order for them to pay the bill. This project owed billions of dollars.
As long as the money went into the project’s account, it would be automatically deducted, so the Yeagers’ money was long gone.
Not only that, the Yeagers were the people in charge of the project, so they were also responsible for other payments that the project owed.
It was a bottomless pit.
The Yeagers never got their money back. Instead, they owed a lot of money to banks and the court.
When Larry found out about this, he fainted and was taken to the hospital.
Ferguson Corporation.
Eric stood on the balcony of his office and looked out the window indifferently.
The wound on his chest was almost fully healed. It had been itchy recently, but he managed to endure it. Last night when he slept with Selena, she accidentally scratched it.
He could still vividly recall that thrilling yet uncomfortable feeling.
Fortunately, someone would pay the price for his injuries.
Eric held a cup of coffee, but he did not drink it.
His face was expressionless when he heard the commotion outside.
It was as if he had expected all of this.
“Mr. Ferguson isn’t here. Ms. Yeager, please leave…”
“Get out of the way! I don’t believe you. I saw his driver here, so he must still be here! I want to meet him!”
Cindy’s voice was anxious, frustrated, and trembling.
She was angry, but she did not dare to show it.
The life and death of the Yeager family were now in Eric’s hands.
“Ms. Yeager, if you keep pestering Mr. Ferguson, I have no choice but to call security.”
Mitchell’s words were a warning, but Cindy could not care less at the moment.
Cindy rushed to Eric’s office. Since she was a woman, Mitchell did not dare to touch her, and neither did the others.
She stalked over to the door of Eric’s office.
“Eric, I know you’re in there!”
Cindy shouted at the top of her lungs, pushed Mitchell aside, and opened the door to enter.
Sure enough, Eric was standing calmly on the balcony, sipping coffee and looking at the scenery. He looked so relaxed.
However, his cold and dark eyes revealed his annoyance at this moment.
