Chapter 737

The butler took the tools from Floyd and Eric when they walked in. Eric stood up straight. He wore black
pants and a casual white shirt that revealed his neckline. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and
his collarbone was rigid and beautiful. He looked so casual, noble, and refined. He watched Nicole walk
down the stairs. His eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Nicole, what a
coincidence!”

’We’re so destined to meet!’ Eric thought. Nicole stiffened and smiled reluctantly. “This is my house, so
obviously I’ll be here…” Floyd washed his hands and came out. “Mr. Ferguson, you should stay for
dinner. We’ve caught so many fish, so I can’t let you make this trip for nothing.” Eric nodded slightly. His
demeanor was decent. “Then, sorry for the trouble.” Eric prayed for this opportunity.



Nicole speechlessly turned around and went to the other side. She poured herself a cup of water. Eric
quietly approached. Nicole could smell a faint jasmine fragrance on him, which was the smell of the
flowers planted by Floyd in the backyard. It was natural, light, and elegant. “I’m thirsty too…” His voice
was low, magnetic, and raspy. Nicole paused for a moment. The next second, a well-

defined hand reached over and grabbed her cup. Her hands were suddenly empty. Eric drank it all in one
go and put it down as if nothing had happened. He did not feel that his behavior was extremely
inappropriate. Suddenly, Kai came over from not far away.



“Why can’t you two drink properly? Why are you using my cup?!” Kai was furious. He saw it all!



Eric was speechless and wanted to spit out the water.



Nicole paused and was silent for a moment. “K, I purposely poured water for you. Don’t you feel
touched?” Kai’s gaze was extremely cold as he sized up the two of them. “Hmph!” He then took his cup
and left.



This cup was a matching pair with Julie’s.

That was why Kai could not bear to throw it away. He blamed Eric for tainting his cup. Eric watched Kai
leave and pursed his lips. “I went to your office to look for you, but they said you already left. Where did
you go?” His eyes were sunken and dark. Undercurrents were surging in his eyes.

If Nicole had not considered that Eric had helped her a lot last time, she would have reached out and
asked him to leave. After a half-second pause, Nicole smiled. “I went to find Ian.” ’He should get jealous,
angry, and leave in a huff!’ Nicole thought.

Eric’s face turned cold for a moment, but surprisingly, he was not particularly angry. “I guess he hasn’t
found a way yet.” Nicole was speechless. ’What way?’ Eric smiled and took out a silver flash drive. “This
contains what he wants.” Nicole looked at Eric in shock. “What do you mean?”

Eric’s handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes. “Go take a look?”

Nicole backed up and went upstairs with doubts in her heart, not noticing that Eric also followed. ’Eric
shouldn’t have known about this… We didn’t even tell Yvette about it. How did he find out?’ Nicole went
to the study and pushed the door in.

She inserted the flash drive into her laptop to take a look. Her expression changed dramatically. The
contents inside were all evidence of Terrence Zabel’s crimes. Terrence signed many important
documents by impersonating Old Master Carter’s handwriting. These were the materials that Ian
desperately needed.



Eric stood opposite her with his hands propped up on the desk. He looked at a photo frame on the side
that had a family photo of the Stantons. What a happy and harmonious family.

Eric also wanted such warmth, but unfortunately, he never had it.

Thinking of this, Eric’s eyes darkened slightly. Nicole asked, “How did you get these?” Eric smiled and
recovered his expression.

“You can always come to me if you need help, I’ll spare no effort to help you, but creating a scandal like
this will easily cause misunderstanding.”
