Chapter 2071

Refuse to Admit Her Fault

Eric’s eyes were indifferent, and his voice was harsh as he said, "Why? He doesn’t know anything
about the things his sister did?"

Cheryl implied several times that she approached him with Gerard’s knowledge.

Otherwise, Eric would not have tolerated her so many times.

However, this woman was much more ruthless than he thought.

Mitchell pursed his lips.

"The police have already detained Cheryl Lichman for questioning.

The surveillance footage and witnesses are all available, so it’s easy to convict her.

But she refuses to admit that she did it."

"Tt doesn’t matter if she doesn’t admit it as long as it doesn’t affect the conviction."

Eric said coldly.

Mitchell was silent.

It seemed that Eric was determined to settle accounts.

Right.

No matter what, Chance was Eric’s son.

How could Eric just ignore it when Chance was injured while in Cheryl’s care.



In the next second, Eric suddenly paused.

"Where’s Yasmin?"

Mitchell looked around.

"I was in a hurry just now, so I didn’t pay attention to her.

She might be left behind at school.

I dida background check on her.

She’s indeed from a small town.

Her name and identity check out.

She came to Mediania in search of her brother.

If she hadn’t met Young Master Nathaniel, she would have been trafficked..."

Eric frowned.

His face was cold.

"Watch her closely."

"Yes, sir."

Eric pursed his lips and felt that something was fishy about Yasmin, but he could not pinpoint it."

"Hey, who are you? Why did you come here?"

Levi was discovered by the doctor when he sneaked in to see Chance.



When Levi was brought out, Eric was stunned to see him.

How could Eric not recognize Grant Stanton’s son? Eric squinted his eyes and walked over.

"Levi?"

Ata young age, Levi already resembled Grant, especially his temperament.

Levi greeted Eric frankly after he was discovered.

"Hello, Mr.Ferguson.

I came to see Chance because I was really worried about him.

I’m glad to see that he’s alright.

Goodbye."

Eric frowned and glanced at Mitchell.

"Send him back."

"No need, Mr.Ferguson.

My driver is waiting downstairs."

With that, Levi walked toward the stairway under Eric’s FBm%[ vVKK Mitchell’s watch.

Then, they saw Nicole.

The situation was awkward for a while.

Mitchell broke the silence and walked over with a smile.



"Ms.

Stanton, you came! Thanks for your concern.

Young Master Chance only has some superficial injuries.

When he fell, his back rubbed against the zipper, and he has a minor fracture at his leg.

It’s not life-threatening."

Nicole nodded and smiled politely.

"Levi was worried about his classmates, so he insisted on coming to take a look.

Since Levi is done visiting, we won't disturb you any longer.

I hope that Chance can get well soon."

After that, Nicole pulled Levi to leave.

Before they left, Eric could not help but take a step forward.

"Nicole."

"Ts there anything else?"

"7'll send you off."

"No need."

Nicole smiled perfunctorily.



At this time, Eric should be taking good care of his son, right? Eric paused and said in a gentle tone, "I
know Tina’s death has nothing to do with you.

You were only in her ward for less than five minutes, and Tina jumped off the building after you left.

There were signs of struggle in the ward at that time, so it was definitely not you.

I can testify for you."

Nicole was silent for a moment.

She looked at him indifferently.

"Thanks for your concern, but the surveillance footage in the hospital is enough to clear me of any
suspicion.

I was just cooperating with the police for a routine questioning, and I wasn’t a suspect."

For amoment, there was tension between them.

Mitchell could not help but interrupt them.

"Ms.

Stanton, you’ve misunderstood.

Mr.Ferguson means that you can come to us anytime if you need help.

After all, we were on the same floor that night.

We can rest assured if we can catch the murderer earlier."

Nicole nodded.



Her expression eased up.

She left with Levi, firmly rejecting Eric’s offer to send them off.

Soon after, Gerard Lichman rushed over.

"Mr.Ferguson, I’m sorry.

I didn’t know that Cheryl would make so many mistakes."

Chance was no longer in danger and only needed to recuperate under observation.

Eric intended to leave, but Gerard stopped him.

Eric frowned slightly.

It was undeniable that Gerard was a very capable person.

Otherwise, Eric would not have supported Gerard's cause so strongly.

Gerard's J&L Corporation had also brought a lot of returns to Ferguson Corporation.

However, that did not mean Gerard could truly be on an equal footing with Eric.

Seeing Gerard’s anxious look, Eric looked cold and wanted to leave.

"You can talk to the lawyer and the police.

I’m very busy."

Gerard looked flustered and hurriedly stopped Eric.



"Mir.

Ferguson, please let me say a few words.

Cheryl is my sister, so I dote on her.

Although I don’t know what she did, I have some responsibility over her actions.

Can you please let it go for the sake of our friendship? Please don’t sue her.

Her dream is to be a very successful lawyer.

Her life will be ruined if she has a criminal record."

Eric looked at him coldly.

His tone was indifferent.

"She’s a lawyer yet she can attempt murder.

In that case, she can just defend herself, right? It’s better if the world has fewer lawyers like her.

Otherwise, all those innocent people will suffer."

Eric’s words were harsh and cold.

Gerard understood what Eric was trying to say.

Eric would not let Cheryl get off the hook.

Gerard was disappointed in Cheryl’s actions, and he had mixed feelings.

Even if Eric did not like his son, Eric would not allow anyone to hurt him.



Gerard lowered his voice and pleaded.

"Mr.Ferguson, I’m begging you to let my sister go this time.

I'll get her to apologize to you and Young Master Chance."

Eric looked at him coldly and narrowed his eyes.

"Gerard, what made you think I'd think highly of your sister? She was so delusional to think that she
could be my wife and kept prancing around me.

She wouldn't have ended up like this if you had warned her to be more self-aware."

Eric was ruthless, but what he said was true.

Mitchell looked over there and did not interrupt.

Gerard paused.

He looked slightly embarrassed, but he quickly reacted.

"when did I tell her to approach you? I told her to stay away from you.

Of course, I know that she’s not good enough for you.

If I wanted her to marry into a wealthy family, I wouldn’t have spent so much effort cultivating her
dreams and career!"

Eric said nothing, glanced at him, raised his feet, and left.

Gerard wanted to chase after Eric, but Mitchell stopped him.

"Mr.Lichman, perhaps you should ask Ms.



Lichman what she did.

After all, she hurt a child.

Mr.Ferguson didn’t take action personally for your sake."

Gerard was stunned and frowned slightly.

"Is Young Master Chance alright?"
