Chapter 414

She Only Cares About Looks

Eric Ferguson slowly ate
the sushi in front of him. The delicate and elegant movements of his fingers were somewhat artistic.

His words carried a faint coldness.

“I‘m just teaching her how to be a person in the fastest way possible.”

Nicole frowned and did not understand what he meant.



Eric patiently explained, “She used to b e such a snob, so she didn‘t think
that she‘d one day end up serving others. This will teach her a lesson.”

Nicole raised her eyebrows and instantly understood.



It was just that to Ingrid, such a punishment was a little too harsh.

Unlike ordinary people who needed to support their families, Ingrid was a pampered young lady since birt
h,

Nicole could not help but sigh in her heart. Eric was so ruthless even to his sister, which made Nicole thin
k that she should not believe Eric‘s show of

Weakness.

However, from another perspective, scums like Ingrid were everywhere. The Ferguson family could affor
d to support Ingrid for life, so Eric was only doing so because of his feelings for Nicole.



Nicole finished her meal quickly and went to the office,

Only Eric and Toto were left in Imperial Gardens.

Toto looked at Eric with shining eyes and asked him excitedly, “Mr. Ferguson, did it go well last night?”

At the mention of this, Eric could not even take another bite of his food.

His gaze turned icy in an instant as he glared at Toto. He snorted coldly and wheeled himself back to the
study.

Stanton Corporation.

Nicole instructed Logan to contact Clayton Sloan to confirm J&L Corporation‘s involvement in the project
before contacting Gerard Lichman to make the follow–up arrangements.

To avoid seeing Eric at Imperial Gardens, Nicole decided to take charge o f this matter personally.

The three parties involved in the cooperation decided to meet at J&L Corporation to finalize the details. S
ince Clayton needed to understand

more about this partner, he took the opportunity to drop by and
visit the R& D department of J&L Corporation.

For the afternoon meeting, Nicole went over to prepare in advance, bringing along a new project assistan
t, Tucker.

Tucker was a fresh graduate still doing his internship and was picked over a bunch of old–
timers because he had no background. Hence, he would not be swayed easily. He had a firm stance and
did not harbor any ambition or greed in his restrained and pure eyes.



Most importantly, Tucker would cherish this opportunity and work harder for this rare
opportunity to prove himself because it was much better compared to moving up the ladder step by step.

Thus, Tucker was most suitable to follow up on this project.

Gerard Lichman prepared a temporary

office for them. Once Nicole and Tucker arrived, they met with Clayton‘s staff.

The meeting was scheduled for 3:00 pm.

Gerard saw Tucker behind her and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Logan didn‘t come along?”

He thought that Nicole would not feel comfortable handing over such an important project to someone el
se, especially a newbie.

Nicole replied, “He‘s busy with other things. This is my new assistant, Tucker.”

Gerard nodded. “Mr. Ferguson still has shares in J&L Corporation, so a representative from Ferguson Cor

This was as Nicole expected, so she nodded calmly.

Anyway, Eric was recuperating at home, so he would not show up for the meeting

Someone knocked on the door at this moment. It was Clayton Sloan.

“Ms. Stanton, Mr. Lichman. Am I interrupting?”

Nicole smiled. “Welco…”

The moment Nicole saw Clayton holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, Nicole froze and stopped m
sentence.



Gerard was also slightly surprised.

Clayton had a mature, steady, and mysterious temperament that carried noble indifference. The bunch
of white chrysanthemums he was holding felt miserably out of place.

What is he doing?! This father and son pair took turns to give me bereavement

flowers. Do they want me dead?!‘ Nicole thought to herself.
