The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 2051
Doesn’t Know How to Act
Zach was observing Tina’s reaction.Tina was not hysterical as he had imagined, and she did not mention divorce.She must have already thought it through and accepted it. Zach was relieved and chased after her.
“Wifey, don’t worry.I’m always loyal to you.That woman will never appear in front of you again!”
Tina went inside with a calm face.
The aerospace exhibition was on the thirteenth floor of this building.
Zach and Kirsi came here for another event, and they did not have an invitation letter to attend the exhibition.
Thus, Zach could only watch helplessly as Tina and Nicole entered the venue.He smiled and took out his phone.
“Babe, where are you?”
As soon as Tina entered, her expression changed.She was no longer in the mood to check out anything.
Nicole took Luke around and came back to see Tina in the lounge, lost in thought.
Luke paused when he saw Nicole’s hesitation.
“Ms.Stanton, I won’t go over there.I’ll go over and consult Dr.Campbell about something.”
Nicole pursed her lips, smiled, and had a sudden thought.
“Mr.Youngblood, will you really give up such a big piece of pie? You must know that even if Tina gets a divorce, her family is ultra- rich! Not to mention, she’s not ugly.Everyone says that she’s as beautiful as a movie star.Aren’t you moved?”
Luke paused and looked at Nicole strangely.
“Ms.Stanton, based on my looks, I can still take my pick even if I’m looking for a sugar mommy.Not to mention, I prefer to rely on my capability.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows.
“Off you go then.”
Luke immediately left.
Shane followed Nicole.
Nicole sat opposite Tina and sighed.
“Look at you…Didn’t you say that you don’t care anymore? Why do you look like you’ve lost your soul?”
Tina clenched her teeth tightly.Her face was pale.
“I don’t.I just think that cheating couple got away too easily.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows.
“Your lawyer will settle the accounts and find a problem with Zach, so it’ll be easy to get back at them.”
Tina looked at Nicole quietly.Her lips were pressed tightly into a straight line.
“Nicole, please do me a favor…” Nicole frowned at her.
An hour later, Nicole Luca stood by the railing on the thirteenth floor, quietly waiting to watch a good show.Luca frowned and said in a low voice, “Miss, are you sure it’ll work? I’m worried that their act will fall through!”
Nicole pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “No, women are born to act, and Tina is a master!”
Luca said, “I’m talking about Shane.There’s a reason that he didn’t become an actor!”
Shane stood with Tina.
Tina was clinging to Shane’s arm, trying to act the part and make it seem like they were intimate.
However, Shane stood there stiffly and looked alert as he observed the surroundings, like he was ready to attack at any moment.
The venue below was very spacious, and many people were chatting and laughing.It was a press conference for a niche brand.
This was also why Zach came to accompany Kirsi.
After all, a business owner like Zach was very attractive to the entertainment industry.
Thus, as soon as Zach appeared, everyone greeted him with respect.
After all, he attended the event with an actress, which meant he had a foot in the entertainment industry.
This meant he was interested in developing in this area.
Naturally, everyone would not let go of an investor.
Kirsi was injured, so she had been restricted to film.
Ever since Samuel Lindstrom stopped backing Kirsi, most of Kirsi’s alreadydwindling resources were taken away by newcomers.
If it was not for Kirsi being pregnant and Zach pampering her, it would have been harder for her to attend such an event.
If she could not become a famous actress, she could use the little bit of advantage she had to be behind the scenes.
That was what she thought.
Thus, Kirsi wanted Zach to connect with the people there immediately.It was very smoky inside.
Kirsi could not catch her breath and went out for a breather.She did not expect to see Tina, Zach’s legal wife, as soon as she went out.
Kirsi froze for a moment, rolled her eyes in disdain, and walked over.
“Are you waiting for me, Mrs.Gilbert?”
Kirsi looked at Tina with a hint of mockery, smugness, and arrogance that made her seem superior.
Kirsi’s frankness did not make her seem like a mistress.
That was because Kirsi now had the confidence to hold her head high.
Kirsi touched her belly, as if to show off, covered her mouth, retched for a while,
and glanced at Tina, who had a gloomy face.She hooked her lips and said,
“Mrs.Gilbert, you probably know about me and Mr.Gilbert, so I won’t hide it anymore.The sooner you get divorced, the better it is for you.Otherwise, I’m afraid that you’ll lose your reputation if you drag it any longer.”
Kirsi’s smile was an eyesore.She only dared to say that because she was pregnant.
Tina’s gaze landed on Kirsi’s body.She snorted lightly.
“If a b*tch like you can keep your reputation, what do I have to lose?” Tina
laughed and walked to Shane’s side.She pulled the man closer to her, held his arm intimately, and smiled.
“Don’t worry, you can keep that good-for-nothing man who only has looks but no brain.I only want money.If I’m rich, I’ll be able to get anyone I want!”
When Kirsi saw Shane, her expression changed slightly.
Back then, Kirsi almost lost her future because of Shane’s over- shoulder throw.
Shane was so strong.
Kirsi’s face turned glum, and she became a little uncomfortable.
Kirsi intended for her agency to make Shane pay a large compensation.
As a result, because of Shane’s background, he did not pay her a penny, but even sent her a lawyer’s letter.
Kirsi had to pay all the medical bills herself.
The newcomer, who Kirsi thought was easy to bully, suddenly overtook her, which frightened her.
Kirsi’s manager also warned Kirsi to be careful not to offend Shane and his backer.
Shane looked at Kirsi indifferently.
Kirsi shuddered, clutched her belly, and suddenly felt short of breath.
Kirsi turned slightly pale.She did not want to be at a disadvantage in front of Tina.
However, her stomach inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.
Kirsi looked back with a glum face, searching for Zach’s figure in the venue.
“Zach…”
As soon as she shouted his name, Zach noticed her.He saw Kirsi and Tina standing together and suddenly panicked.
Zach ran over quickly and glanced at Tina.
“Wifey…”
His tone was cautious.
When he saw Kirsi’s pale face, he suddenly turned livid.He quickly held Kirsi and glared at Tina fiercely.
“What have you done?! I already told you that I’ll break up with her.Why are you bullying her? She’s not feeling well.Do you know that she’s…”
Zach suddenly stopped speaking, and his expression changed dramatically.He could not let Tina find out about Kirsi’s pregnancy.
Kirsi tugged at Zach’s arm nervously.
“Zach, take me to the hospital…”
Zach took a deep breath, carried Kirsi, and ran out.
“Don’t be scared. I’ll take you to the hospital right away!”
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 2052
Ignorant
Zach and Kirsi hurriedly left the venue.Some of the guests present were acquainted with Tina.They all looked at Tina weirdly.
Everyone was aware of the Gilberts’ situation.
Usually, marriage is : over once a man starts to defend his mistress in public.It was truly pathetic.
Shane was not bothered about Tina’s situation.He subconsciously looked up at Nicole.
Since Kirsi left, was his mission over? Tina stood there and felt the coldness from all directions.She stared blankly in the direction where Zach and Kirsi left,
and her desire to get revenge instantly disappeared.
All that was left was frustration.Tina always thought that Zach was only putting on a show due to his indifference and greed.
As long as he was not sincere to other women, Tina was just watching a good show.However, Tina understood Zach well.
That was how Zach protected Tina back then.Now, he protected Kirsi the same way.This scene was truly an eyesore.It was as if all her warnings had hit her in the face.
No matter how shameless that mistress was, she had won over that man.
Tina took a deep breath and walked to the door in a daze.
When Nicole went downstairs, she only saw Shane.Shane walked over quickly.
“Madam…” Nicole nodded and looked at him with a smile.
“You did well.” Shane acted as a prop, which did not require any acting skills.
Thus, she could not be too critical of him.
When the event was over, Nicole left slightly earlier with Shane.Someone stopped them at the entrance.
“Ms.Stanton, Mr.Youngblood just said that there’s another banquet.Please stay back and join him.”
“Mr.Youngblood?”
Nicole snorted lightly and thought, ‘Will Luke Youngblood dare to ask a waiter to convey his message like this?’
Just as she was about to say something, the weird feeling in her heart reemerged.She looked at the unfamiliar waiter in front of her and raised her eyebrows.
“Okay.” She smiled.
Nicole was very reluctant to link this to what happened last night.However, since there were so many strange things, it was hard to say whether all this was created by the same person.
Since the other party was willing to show their face, she wanted to know who it was! Nicole glanced at Luca, who immediately understood became vigilant.
Nicole stretched out her hand, and Shane immediately walked over and stretched out his arm.
Nicole gently held his arm and returned to the exhibition again.She glanced around and saw that everyone left one by one.
Luke was also out of sight.She paused.
The waiter pointed to the side hall.
“Ms.Stanton, this way please.”
In an instant, Nicole could feel Shane’s stiffness and alertness.She smiled expressionlessly and walked over.
The side hall was relatively quiet, and the dim light made it a bit mysterious.
A familiar person sat there in the corner.
When he saw Nicole, he waved happily.
“Nikki! ”
Nicole was dumbfounded and walked over.
“Nathaniel?”
Nathaniel happily stood up and hugged her.
“Nikki, did you miss me?”
Nicole speechlessly pushed Nathaniel away, looked at his tanned skin, and was stunned for a moment.
Speaking of which, Nicole had not seen him for a while.
Nathaniel was either participating in shows or going out on an adventure.He spent very few days in Atlanta.But why did he suddenly come back? Shane was very alert at first, but he noticed that Nicole seemed to know the man.
Thus, he wondered whether he should go up and stop him.
Nicole laughed.
“No, I didn’t miss you.Why are you back?”
She still remembered that Nathaniel had a fallout with Livia before he left.
Livia got back together with Keith.
Nathaniel was still the same, like a manchild who would never grow up.
Nathaniel smiled frankly.
“I came back for a few days and paid respects to my great- grandfather in the meantime.By the way, let me introduce you to a friend…”
He pointed to the person sitting on the opposite sofa.It was a woman that Nicole had never seen before.
The woman stood up with a smile, looking very honest and demure.
She wore a pink puff-sleeved dress that made her look very innocent.She looked at Nicole and smiled.
“Hello, Ms.Stanton.My name is Yasmin.”
No one would refuse such a sweet and innocent smile that held some kind of magic.It was just the right arc that made one feel comfortable around her.
Nicole immediately responded with a smile.
“Hello, my name is Nicole.”
The woman should be about the same age as Nicole.She had clear and pure eyes.She looked like an ignorant college student who just left the campus.
Nathaniel smiled excitedly and said, “I thought you looked familiar just now.I didn’t expect you to be here too! Yasmin and I came late.Why don’t we have dinner together?”
Nicole paused and glanced at him.
“How do you know that I know Luke?”
Nathaniel was stunned.
“Luke? Who’s Luke?”
Nicole’s face sank.
Shane’s eyes also became cautious.
Yasmin shook her head in confusion.
“We don’t know Luke…”
Nicole took a deep breath.
“Didn’t you guys ask me to come?”
Nathaniel shook his head.
“No, we’ve been here the whole time and plan to sit for a while before leaving.”
Nicole’s heart sank a little.She looked at Luca behind her.
“Search for the waiter just now…”
“Yes, Miss.”
Nathaniel saw her and refused to let her go.
“Nikki, this is my friend’s first time here, so she’s not familiar with Atlanta.Eat with us before you leave!”
He winked at Nicole desperately.
Nicole frowned.
“Sure”
Yasmin blushed and looked up at Nathaniel from time to time like she had a crush on him.
Nicole smiled and did not expose it.
Shane also sat down.
Before Nicole could introduce Shane, Nathaniel recognized him.
“Shane Libb? Why don’t you film anymore? Your image is very suitable for acting as a tough guy!”
Shane paused.
“Oh, I just don’t want to.”
Nathaniel did not mind Shane’s indifference.He heard from other people in the circle that Shane had a weird temper.
Nathaniel looked at Nicole with a meaningful smile.
“Nikki, you got another man? What about Clayton? Does he know about this?”
Nicole rolled her eyes at him.
“What does it have to do with you?”
Nathaniel smiled.
“I’m just asking.It’s not my second uncle anyway!”
Nicole rolled her eyes, looked at Yasmin, and smiled.
“Are you two dating?”
She changed the subject because she did not want Nathaniel to pry into her private life.
Yasmin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head embarrassedly, pure and pitiful.
“No.”
Nathaniel coughed awkwardly.
“Not yet.”
He looked at Nicole and winked, signaling for her to be more mindful of her words.
Nicole snorted coldly.
Halfway through the meal, Luca still did not return.
However, Yasmin went out to use the bathroom.
Nathaniel thoughtfully asked the waiter to lead the way for Yasmin.
Nicole looked like she was watching a good show.
“Why don’t you just follow along?”
Nathaniel clicked his tongue, sat back, and moved his neck.
“Don’t scare my friend, she’s so pure and ignorant of the world.I’m currently pursuing her, but she’s still watching me reservedly! “
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 2053
Who Are You Calling Little?
Nathaniel said with a smile.
Nicole smiled.She was happy to see him come out of his lovelorn state.
Although Nathaniel was not someone who Livia could trust for the rest of her life, Nicole was happy that he could find another person to love.
“Where did this little girl come from? She doesn’t look local.” Nathaniel’s eyes lit up.
“I picked her up.”
He leaned over and whispered to Nicole.
“Literally.I saw a few thugs messing with her at the train station.That’s how I found out that she came to search for her brother.Her brother went to college and lost contact with her family.
She wanted to find a place to work, but she was almost trafficked.”
Nicole widened her mouth in shock.
Judging by Yasmin’s demeanor earlier, it did not seem like she had experienced so much.
Just as Nicole was about to say something, she saw Yasmin walking over to them.
Nathaniel smiled, stood up, and dragged the stool for her.
“Does this meal suit your taste? Would you like to order something else?”
Yasmin quickly shook her head and looked like a frightened deer.She was flattered.
Nicole smiled.
“Yasmin, which university did your brother go to? I’m acquainted with a few university deans, so I can help you!”
Yasmin was slightly taken aback.Her face was flushed as she looked at Nathaniel.She seemed to blame Nathaniel for telling Nicole about her private affairs.
Nathaniel quickly comforted her.
“Yasmin, Nikki is a kind person, and she knows a lot of people, so she’ll definitely be able to help you!”
Having said that, he raised his eyebrows.
“By the way, Nikki, you might as well arrange a job for Yasmin.Let her be your part-time secretary.It’s much better than working at a restaurant as a waiter washing dishes!”
Nicole pursed her lips and was stunned for a while.She suddenly did not know what to say.
“Uh…”
Nathaniel could really make things difficult for her.
How could Nicole arrange for a stranger to work by her side? Seeing that Nicole was put on the spot, Yasmin lowered her eyes and tugged at Nathaniel’s sleeve.
“Don’t make things difficult for Ms.Stanton.I haven’t been to university, so I don’t know how to work in such a big company.I’ll just find a restaurant work part-time there.”
Nathaniel frowned.
“No way! You’re so pretty, so you’ll be easily targeted by those bad guys! I think it’s too much work for you to be an actress.Nikki, please help her! You just gotta put out the word!”
Nicole regretted joining Nathaniel for dinner.She paused and said hesitantly,
“Nathaniel, it’s not that I don’t wanna help.Having Logan by my side is more than enough.He’s also very busy, so he won’t be able to guide newbies.Why don’t you try placing her in Ferguson Corporation? It’s your family business anyway, so you can decide which department she goes to.”
Nathaniel was stunned.He frowned, sighed, and beat his chest.
“My second uncle will scold me!”
Nicole rolled her eyes and thought, ‘So, he’s not afraid of me scolding him?’
However, Nicole did not make it seen too obvious.
Yasmin paused.
“Nathaniel, I think you should just forget it…”
Nathaniel quickly interrupted her.He patted his chest and assured her.
“Don’t worry, my family owns Ferguson Corporation, so getting a job for you won’t be a problem.I’ll call my second uncle right now!”
Nicole raised her eyebrows.She finally got this problem out of the way.
Nathaniel took out his phone in front of everyone and called Eric.
As a result, Eric did not pick up Nathaniel’s calls.
Nathaniel paused and smiled sheepishly.
“My second uncle must be busy or in a meeting!”
He then called Mitchell, who picked up.
“Young Master Nathaniel?”
“Mitchell, how’s the company doing lately? I haven’t congratulated you on your promotion! What do you think about me recommending a rare talent to you?”
Mitchell immediately understood what Nathaniel meant.
He smiled and said, “Thanks for thinking about me, Young Master Nathaniel.Ferguson Corporation still belongs to the Ferguson family, so if you want to recommend talents, please inform your uncle.My authority is limited to housekeeping, logistics, and the front desk.Do you think the talent you want to recommend will need my help?”
Nathaniel’s face turned glum.
“Get lost!”
Nathaniel hung up the phone angrily.
Nicole pretended not to hear anything.
Mitchell’s answer was as expected.
If Eric was not in Atlanta, there might still be a chance.
However, since Eric was here, Mitchell could not call the shots in Ferguson Corporation.
What Nathaniel did was simply superfluous.
After he hung up the phone, Nathaniel looked at Yasmin ingratiatingly and said with a smile, “Don’t be afraid, Yasmin.My second uncle is very approachable,
kind, and easy to talk to.When I go over and tell him in person, he’ll definitely agree to it!”
Yasmin frowned and nodded shyly in response.
Although she was confused, she still chose to believe Nathaniel.
Nathaniel smiled and ordered another dessert for her.
Seeing this, Nicole knew that it was time to leave them alone.She glanced at Shane, who stood up.
Nicole said with a smile, “It’s getting late.I still have something to do, so I won’t be able to accompany you.Nathaniel, you should show Yasmin around the city!”
Nathaniel paused and felt a little regretful.
“Nikki, we haven’t talked properly yet…”
Nicole glanced at him.
Just as he was about to say something, she heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
“What are you guys talking about?”
Nicole was stunned and raised her eyebrows.
“Darling, why are you here?”
Clayton was modest and gentle.He was always so charming and handsome that people could not take their eyes off of him.
Clayton had a faint smile as he glanced at Nathaniel lightly.His warmth faded.
“Oh, I met Mr.Youngblood on the road.You didn’t leave with him, so I came to pick you up.”
Clayton raised his hand slightly, and Nicole reached out to hold his hand.
The two looked at each other and smiled as if the people around them did not matter.
Clayton stroked Nicole’s hair and smiled gently.
“Are you done chatting?” Nicole nodded.
She looked back at Nathaniel.
“Almost!”
Nathaniel paused and was displeased with Clayton’s sudden arrival.
Although Eric could not get Nicole, Nathaniel did not like Clayton either.
Neither of these men was easy to fool.
In an instant, Nathaniel flashed a playful smile.
“Eh? Who is this?” Nathaniel raised his eyebrows.
Nicole paused.
“Are you blind?”
Clayton looked at Nathaniel calmly without a change in expression, as if he was just looking at a child.His gaze was filled with contempt and disdain.
Nathaniel paused and took a deep breath.
“Nikki, we went through life and death together.How could you help someone else?”
Clayton laughed lightly, tightened his arms around Nicole’s waist, and said calmly, “Nikki?”
He looked down at Nicole.
“Why don’t I remember that you have such a little…Friend?”
Nathaniel’s face darkened instantly.
Nicole looked at the two men speechlessly.She just had a headache.They were so childish.
Nicole pursed her lips, tugged at Clayton’s clothes, and winked desperately to hint at him.
“Who are you calling little?”
Nathaniel gritted his teeth and said in dissatisfaction.
Clayton smiled playfully.
“I just mean that you’re young, Mr.Ferguson.Don’t think too much…”
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 2054
Dear Nephew
Nathaniel was so angry that he could not say a word.He just got dissed by Clayton.
Clayton smiled calmly.
Seeing that the tension between them was increasing, Nicole quickly cleared her throat.
“Alright, alright.Nathaniel, you should show Yasmin around.”
Nicole pulled Clayton out.
Clayton calmly waved at Nathaniel and smiled.
“See you later.”
Nathaniel rolled his eyes and said angrily, “No, I don’t want to see you again!”
Nathaniel almost exploded from Clayton’s words.
Nicole pulled Clayton away, and Yasmin walked over cautiously.
“Nathaniel, do you know that man just now? What is his relationship with Ms.Stanton?”
“It doesn’t matter.He’s just a fool who wants something unattainable.Nathaniel snorted coldly and immediately calmed down.He looked at Yasmin with a smile.
“Don’t be afraid.I’ll protect you!”
Yasmin looked at him shyly.
“But I don’t have a job.I’d better go…”
“Don’t go! I’ll take you to my second uncle…” Nathaniel said and took his phone that was on the table.
His eyes flickered.He looked at Nicole’s bag on the seat and paused.
“It’s all Clayton’s fault! Nikki left her bag…” Nathaniel took it over.
“I’ll give it back to her.” Yasmin paused.
“Why don’t I go instead? You might quarrel with that man next to her again.”
She spoke with concern.
As soon as Nathaniel heard this, he found it reasonable and gave Yasmin Nicole’s bag.
“Alright, I don’t want to see him anyway.” Yasmin smiled, took Nicole’s bag, and went out.
Nicole and Clayton walked hand in hand, looking like a sweet couple.
Especially since the two of them were so good-looking, they attracted the attention of others.
Nicole was telling Clayton what happened earlier when she suddenly felt a cool breeze behind her.She felt a chill.
In the next second, Nicole suddenly heard a female screaming in pain.
Then, she looked back and saw Yasmin had fallen to the ground.
Nicole was startled, so Clayton quickly held her in his arms.
Shane stood beside Clayton and glared at Yasmin, who was on the ground.
“What’s the matter?” Clayton asked coldly.
Yasmin’s face was pale from the pain, she sobbed aggrievedly.
“I… I just came to deliver Ms.Stanton’s bag to her.Ms.Stanton, you left your bag behind.”
The bag in her hand was thrown aside.
Nicole glanced at it.
Sure enough, it was her bag.
Nicole really left it behind.She quickly went over and helped Yasmin up from the ground.
“I’m sorry, Yasmin.My apologies.”
Clayton paused, picked up Nicole’s bag from the ground, and patted it lightly.
Yasmin’s arms were a little bruised.It seemed that Shane had used a lot of force.
Nicole felt guilty and very embarrassed.It was clear that Shane had misunderstood the situation.
“Yasmin, are you okay? Shall I take you to the hospital?” Yasmin paused.
She had tears in her eyes, but she still shook her head.
“I’m alright.It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Yasmin lowered her eyes.Her forbearance was particularly distressing.
At this moment, Nathaniel came over to look for Yasmin.
Nathaniel saw this scene and suddenly turned pale.
“Yasmin, what’s wrong?” Clayton raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Nicole explained apologetically, “I’m sorry.My bodyguard misunderstood the situation.It was too sudden, so he couldn’t control his force.Why don’t you take her to the hospital on my behalf? I’ll pay for any medical expenses and dietary supplements.”
Nathaniel stared at Nicole.He held Yasmin and took a deep breath.
“Forget it.I wouldn’t let you go so easily if it wasn’t for our solid friendship.Yasmin, are you alright?”
Yasmin shook her head.
“I’m fine.I just fell because I was running too fast.It has nothing to do with Ms.Stanton.”
Shane’s face was expressionless, and his eyes deepened a little.
Nathaniel sighed.
“Anyway, I’ll take you to the hospital to have a look, then we’ll go to my second uncle’s place later.” Nicole nodded.
“Go ahead! Take good care of Yasmin!”
Nathaniel glanced at Nicole and left with Yasmin.
Nicole sighed and looked at Shane.Shane pursed his lips, looked at their departing backs, and said without changing his expression.
“That woman was about to touch Madam earlier.I was afraid that she would push Madam, so I stopped her.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows.
“Okay, watch out next time!”
Shane nodded slightly.
Clayton smiled and hugged Nicole’s shoulders.
“Let’s go.”
Clayton turned around, and his smile faded.
“Stay away from them in the future.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows.
“You’re even jealous of Nathaniel?”
Clayton glanced at her with a specious smile and said faintly, “I didn’t even hear anything when that woman came over.Her footsteps were very light, so something’s fishy about her.”
Nicole’s expression changed, and her eyes widened in surprise.
“Why didn’t you tell me just now? What if something happens to Nathaniel?”
Nicole thought that Yasmin did not seem to be a scheming person.
Yasmin was simple, innocent, and did not look shrewd at all.
Clayton laughed softly.
“what does it have to do with me if he gets in trouble?” Nicole paused.
Clayton said he was not jealous, huh? Nicole frowned, looked at the man’s handsome profile, and pursed her lips.
“But it shouldn’t be.Yasmin looks weak…”
Clayton pondered for a while.
“Don’t judge a book by its cover.At least we have a suspect now.We can focus on her.You don’t need to care about the rest.I’ll get someone to look into it.”
Nicole nodded and took a deep breath.
Looking back on their conversation just now, Nicole really could not find the slightest flaw.
Was it really Yasmin? Nicole thought about it, turned her head, and gave Shane a thumbs up.
“Good job!”
Shane nodded expressionlessly.
Clayton was speechless.
Nathaniel took Yasmin out of the hospital and went straight to Ferguson Corporation.
Yasmin was a little apprehensive in the car.
“Nathaniel, will your second uncle hate me? What if he doesn’t agree with me working in his company? Maybe I shouldn’t be a secretary.What about a janitor?”
Nathaniel glanced at Yasmin sideways and sternly refused.
“No way! You’re a girl, so how could you do such a tough job? What’s more, no one in the office will bully you only if you’re by my second uncle’s side.The whole company will respect his secretary.Just look at Mitchell! He was my uncle’s assistant and was promoted to vice president.What a great jump!”
Yasmin’s eyes lit up.
“Great! I’m just happy to have a job.Thank you, Nathaniel.”
Nathaniel smiled brightly.
“You’re welcome.I’m willing to help you.”
After a while, they arrived at Ferguson Corporation.
Everyone at the front desk knew who Nathaniel was, so they did not dare to stop him.
When they reached the top floor, they were stopped by the secretary.
“Young Master Nathaniel, Mr.Ferguson is still in a meeting and has no time to see you.”
Nathaniel paused.
“I’m his nephew.Why would I need an appointment to meet with my family? Go and inform him that his dear nephew is here to see him!”
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss Chapter 2055 He Can't Compare to You
The secretary smiled and dared not offend Nathaniel.
Thus, he could only nod his head and tell Mitchell.
Mitchell came out of the office not long after.
Nathaniel smiled.
"Mitchell, it's so much better to see you.Look, it won't be a loss for my friend to
be my second uncle's secretary, right?"
Mitchell politely glanced at the girl behind Nathaniel and smiled.
Enter title...
"Young Master Nathaniel, you must be joking."
Mitchell's smile was perfunctory.
Those who were qualified to be Eric's secretary were picked from the best talent in the country.
How could they possibly arrange a stranger to work in Ferguson Corporation so simply and serve as Eric's secretary? It was too ridiculous.
However, considering Nathaniel's identity, Mitchell could not say it so frankly. Nathaniel paused.
"Tell my second uncle that I want to see him.I wanna tell him personally." Mitchell hesitated but nodded.
"Wait a moment. I'll check if his meeting is over." Nathaniel nodded.
Mitchell left.
Nathaniel smiled at Yasmin.
"Don't worry.It'll definitely work if I ask my uncle."
Yasmin nodded.
Not long after, Mitchell came out.
"Young Master Nathaniel, please come in."
Nathaniel took Yasmin into Eric's office.
At first glance, Yasmin saw Eric sitting there.
Eric was calm, restrained, and mysterious. He was clearly unattainable, but
when he looked at Nathaniel, his coldness seemed to fade a little.
"what are you trying to do?" Eric said.
Nathaniel leaned in.
"Second Uncle, this is my friend, Yasmin. She's all alone, so she'll get bullied wherever she goes to work.I want her to stay with you..." "No..."
Eric refused decisively and looked at the woman opposite him with dark eyes. Yasmin lowered her head cautiously. She blushed with embarrassment from Eric's scrutiny. She looked like a fresh graduate who just entered the workforce. Eric glanced at Yasmin nonchalantly and lowered his eyes.
"If she can't find work anywhere, perhaps she should be reflecting on herself." Everyone in the office was shocked for a moment when they heard this. Yasmin raised her head in shock. Eric said mercilessly, "In that case, I won't accept useless people."
Nathaniel frowned felt that Eric's words were really harsh.
"Second Uncle, you can take her in and let her do some chores. Any simple work will do. She'll do her best!"
Eric gave him a cold look.
"Even your father doesn't dare to arrange his people by my side.Are you looking for a beating?"
Eric's voice was cold, so Nathaniel knew he was angry.
Nathaniel paused, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'm not arranging a spy.I couldn't bear to let her do such tough work. I just want to protect her.Second Uncle, I like her!"
Eric raised his dark eyes slightly with a bit of surprise.
Nathaniel gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and said, "You didn't agree with
me being with Livia last time. I've already listened to you then. Can't I like
someone? Do you want to destroy every relationship that I have?"
After Nathaniel finished speaking, he looked at Eric with red eyes.
Eric gave him a deep look and looked away casually. He paused, opened his
mouth, and looked at Yasmin.
"What are you good at?"
Nathaniel looked at Yasmin excitedly and gave her a wink.
Yasmin paused, then answered hesitantly.
"I can clean, make tea and coffee, and... Babysit children." Eric frowned.
"Go out and wait for the news." He said coldly.
Yasmin shivered as if she was frightened.
Eric frowned tightly as he watched her flee.
Nathaniel glanced at Eric reproachfully.
"Second Uncle, don't be so fierce. You'll scare her!"
Eric glanced at him.
"So I still need to be nice to her?" Nathaniel lowered his voice.
"I just want you to be more gentle."
"Are you serious about her?" Eric asked him.
Nathaniel pursed his lips.
"Nothing is set in stone.If everything works well, I might marry her. Second Uncle, you have to believe in love at first sight.I thought I wouldn't fall in love again.It took me along time to forget about Livia.I fell in love with Yasmin with just one glance. Do you believe it? As soon as I saw her, I felt so regretful that I didn't meet her sooner. Her innocent eyes are so attractive to me!"
Eric frowned.
"Don't disgust me.Get out!"
"What about Yasmin..."
"I have my own arrangements."
"Sure! Thank you, Uncle Eric!"
Nathaniel went over to hug Eric excitedly and wanted to jump in joy, only to be
frightened by Eric's cold and stern eyes. He smiled.
"By the way, I just had dinner with Nikki and bumped into Clayton. Don't worry, he's not as good as you!"
Eric's face became darker and colder.
"Get out!"
"Okay! I'll get out now!"
Nathaniel went out excitedly and saw Yasmin standing in the corner, looking enviously at other people working.
"Yasmin..."
Yasmin paused, looked at him, and said, "It's okay. Even if your second uncle doesn't agree, I'll just find a job elsewhere. I'll leave Atlanta once I find my brother."
"What are you talking about? I said to leave it to me! My second uncle agreed to keep you!" Nathaniel said quickly.
Yasmin's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
Nathaniel nodded immediately.
"He has his own arrangements, so you just need to listen to him. But if he makes you do heavy work, don't agree to it and tell me. I'll stand up for you!" Yasmin smiled.
"Don't worry. I'll persevere.I never dreamed that I could come to work here. It's all thanks to you, Nathaniel. Thank you!"
Nathaniel looked at her and smiled. He felt great satisfaction in his heart as if he
was enchanted.
"Go in then.Call me if you need anything."
Yasmin nodded.
"Okay, you can go first. I'll treat you to a meal later!"
Nathaniel walked away with a silly smile on his face.
Yasmin took a deep breath and knocked on the door again.
"Mr.Ferguson, I'm Yasmin."
"Come in."
The people from the secretarial department saw Nathaniel bringing in this
girl. They were suddenly a little puzzled and looked at him weirdly.
"Young Master Nathaniel never lacked women. This girl is just averagelooking. Why is he so obsessed with her?"
"Yeah, he even arranged for her to work with Mr.Ferguson. This is such a huge
favor! Young Master Nathaniel has never bowed to Mr.Ferguson!"
"Young Master Nathaniel doesn't look right. His gaze is a little off n "Right. This
woman won't be sent to our department, right?"
Soon after, Mitchell was called in. He looked at the girl Nathaniel had left behind and was also very surprised.
Unexpectedly, Nathaniel did it! "Mr.Ferguson..."
Eric pointed at the woman in front of him.
"Let her take care of Chance."

Chapter 2056 Full-Time Nanny
Eric wanted Yasmin to take care of Chance?
Mitchell thought he had misheard.
"Mr. Ferguson, this..."
Finding a professional nanny was better than finding a random person.
Chance was often bullied at school because he had a speech disability.
There was nothing they could do in school since they could not pay attention to him all the time.
For the sake of the child's physical and mental health, the school came up with two solutions.
Chance could switch schools for a change of environment, which would be good for his development. Or he could go home every day after school so that he did not have to live alone in school. This way would be better for Chance's character development.
Otherwise, this child would be ruined.
Eric did not decide yet.
It looked like Eric casually wanted Yasmin, who popped out of nowhere, to take care of the little nuisance in Eric's eyes.
However...
Mitchell felt that something was wrong. Seeing Eric's firm expression, Mitchell could not say anything.
To Eric, Yasmin was a nuisance, and so was Chance.
Putting the two nuisances together was the solution.
Poor little Chance!
Mitchell sighed.
"Yes, Mr. Ferguson."
Yasmin's eyes flickered slightly, and a restrained smile appeared on her face before it disappeared a second later. "Don't worry, Mr. Ferguson. I will take good care of the young master." After she finished speaking, she followed Mitchell out.
Mitchell called the school and informed them that
someone would pick Chance up from school in a while. He then sent Yasmin's picture to chance's teacher.
He looked back and saw Yasmin following behind him very obediently. Mitchell cleared his throat. "Uh..."
"My name is Yasmin, Mr. Crawford. I'll do my best in whatever you ask me to do."
"Yasmin, this isn't a tough job. Just take good care of our
young master. In the future, you will be responsible for sending and picking him up from school. You don't need to do anything else. By the way, where do you live?"
Yasmin paused and looked at him, feeling embarrassed.
"... Don't have a place to live..." Mitchell was stunned. "Don't you live with Young Master Nathaniel?"
"No, we're not in that kind of relationship."
Yasmin was eager to clear his relationship with Nathaniel.
Mitchell nodded suspiciously. He thought, 'Do I have to find a place for her to live? But she's not hired under Ferguson Corporation, so she can't live in the staff dormitory. If I have to rent a place for her, what standards should I use?'
Mitchell was torn. Finally, he called Eric, asking him what identity should Yasmin assume to take care of Chance.
Eric only said "full-time nanny" and hung up the phone.
A full-time nanny meant that she would live at home. Mitchell took Yasmin to the place where Chance lived, which was an apartment that Eric bought a few years ago. The reason why Chance was placed there was so that he would be as far away from Eric as possible. It was best if Chance did not appear in front of Eric so that
Eric would not get upset.
"Yasmin, you'll stay here in the future as Chance's full-time nanny. You don't need to be responsible for his diet and studies. You only need to pick him up and drop him off at school. By the way, your room is next to the utility room on the first floor. That's the maid's room. You won't mind, right?"
Mitchell looked at her. That was originally reserved for the nanny.
Since Yasmin was Chance's full-time nanny, she could only stay in the maid's room. Yasmin could not stay in the guest room because she was not a guest. Yasmin paused and simply nodded. Mitchell smiled. Seeing that she had a good attitude, Mitchell wanted to remind her.
"Chance is still very young, so please take good care of him. Mr. Ferguson won't mistreat you. Send me your bank account details and ID card later. I'll help you register for the job, and your salary will be transferred to your bank card."
Yasmin's expression changed. She looked at him in embarrassment.
"Well, I lost my ID card. Can I wait for the replacement to come before giving it to you? My salary can be paid in
cash.>>;
Mitchell frowned slightly. "Sure."
Yasmin looked around and asked him with a smile, "What time does Mr. Ferguson get off work every day? Do I need to prepare dinner for him?" Mitchell was stunned.
"Mr. Ferguson doesn't live here."
"Huh?"
"You don't need to prepare his dinner. Just prepare your own. Young Master Chance will eat at the school."
Mitchell's phone suddenly rang.
While answering the phone, he glanced at Yasmin.
"You can settle in yourself."
He turned around and left.
Yasmin fell silent.
Her eyes became dark and deep.
After school on Friday, most parents came to the school entrance.
Yasmin was waiting on the side of the road, and the driver parked the car not far away.
Chance carried his school bag and walked out silently.
He seemed particularly taciturn and out of place in a group of cheerful children.
Just as Yasmin was about to walk over, she suddenly saw a graceful figure step forward, squat down, and talk to him with a smile.
"Chance, do you recognize me? I'm your father's friend, Aunt Cheryl!" Cheryl wore a tight dress that accentuated her figure. Her makeup was also exquisite.
She smiled gently at Chance, reached out, and pinched his face like she was familiar with him.
"I'll take you home. I like you very much..."
Chance frowned and looked at Cheryl timidly. His face was tense, and the emotions on his little face were too obvious.
Just as Cheryl was about to drag Chance away, his teacher keenly noticed them. "Chance, is she the one who's supposed to pick you up?" Chance pursed his lips and lowered his head. To be precise, Chance did not even know who was coming to pick him up.
This was the second time Eric had allowed him to go home.
The first time was for Old Master Ferguson's funeral.
Yasmin walked forward with a smile.
"Miss, I'm here to pick up Chance."
The teacher took out her phone, looked at the photo, breathed a sigh of relief, and handed Chance to Yasmin.
"Yes, then I'll leave it to you."
The teacher glanced at Cheryl, who stood frozen in place, and was no longer nervous.
If they lost a child, they would not be able to afford the consequences.
Yasmin glanced at Chance, who just happened to see her.
At that moment, his face instantly turned pale.
Yasmin patted his head as if nothing was wrong. Chance panicked a little, and his whole body was stiff.
The teacher left.
Cheryl stood there and glanced at Yasmin, who was dressed simply, and thought that Yasmin was probably not a high-society lady.
She continued to stand there, feeling out of place. She actually wanted to find an excuse to see Eric.
As a result, someone beat her to it.
Cheryl's face was slightly glum.
After a pause, Cheryl looked at Yasmin with a smile.
"You are...?"
Yasmin smiled gently. "Mr. Ferguson hired me to take care of Chance. You are
p"
Cheryl said in a soft voice, "I'm Mr. Ferguson's friend, and I came here to visit Chance. I wanted to surprise him and forgot about the school's security procedures. Next time then."
Chapter 2057 You're So Useless
Cheryl bent down and looked at Chance with a serious face. Her voice was gentle and soft.
"Chance, I'll see you next time..."
Chance raised his eyes and waved his hand. He had basic politeness.
Cheryl turned around and left happily.
Yasmin held Chance's hand gently and smiled gracefully.
"young Master, shall we go home?"
Enter title...
She carefully took Chance's schoolbag and took his hand, leading him into the car.
The driver saw that Yasmin was so thoughtful and considerate and felt happy for Chance. Chance sat obediently in the car without saying a word. He looked sideways and saw his good friend Levi through the window. He also saw a familiar woman.
It was the woman who rescued him from the fire that day.
In an instant, Chance stuck his face to the window with excitement and stared at them.It was too bad that he could not speak.
Chance watched that beautiful woman as she hugged and kissed Levi.
Levi dodged helplessly, and the two of them ran outside playing. She looked so down-to-earth.
Chance remembered that Levi had talked about his very beautiful aunt who loved to kiss children.
Was that her? Chance looked at them enviously.
Yasmin, who was next to Chance, followed his line of sight and saw Nicole as well.
In an instant, her face turned stiff and gloomy.
She calmed her emotions, put her hand on Chance's head, and said softly, "What are you looking at? Young Master, I will be taking care of you from now on. You can talk to me about anything."
The driver in front coughed and reminded Yasmin.
"Yasmin, you might not be aware of this. Our young master has a speech ability,
but he can write, so don't mention this again."
Yasmin nodded in shock and patted Chance's head with pity.
"Young Master Chance is really pitiful to have a disability at such a young
age.I'll definitely live up to Mr.Ferguson's expectations and take good care of Young Master Chance!"
The driver heard this, clicked his tongue, and shook his head.
"Anyway, since we're working together in the future, I'll tell you the
truth.Mr.Ferguson never liked our young master who had a fuzzy
background. The only reason Mr.Ferguson agreed to raise him was that he didn't lack money.If you take good care of our young master, he'll naturally be thankful to you when he grows up. But don't put your hopes on Mr.Ferguson because Mr. Ferguson despises the fact that he has a son out of wedlock.Mr.Ferguson hasn't visited him so far.He doesn't care about our young master usually doesn't ask about him."
The air in the car gradually turned stagnant.
The driver sighed.
Chance lowered his eyes to conceal the disappointment and discomfort in his heart. He heard such words countless times.
Everyone thought Chance was also deaf since he had a speech disability, so
they spoke recklessly.
However, Chance was not deaf.
His ears were still working perfectly! Yasmin's eyes flickered slightly. She gritted her teeth.
"Hasn't Mr.Ferguson been married twice? Isn't this child from his ex-wife?" The driver chuckled and was interested to gossip.
"Mr.Ferguson's marriage has long since been dissolved. No one is allowed to mention it. It would've been better if our young master was an orphan.If his mother turned out to be Mr. Ferguson's ex-wife, Mr.Ferguson would hate him even more."
The driver chattered on and did not notice Yasmin's change in expression. The second half of the drive was silent. The driver felt that something was
wrong. He gossiped with Yasmin because she felt that girls her age liked to listen to gossip.
Gossiping would also bring their relationship closer.
However, the driver suddenly realized that he said too much. He instantly
stopped speaking.
When they arrived at the apartment lobby, the driver went over to open the door for Chance.
"Young Master, have a good rest..."
Chance got out of the car and ran inside.
Yasmin got out of the car, thanked the driver, and quickly chased after Chance.
"Young Master, it's still early. Do you want to come out and play for a while?" The driver saw how attentive Yasmin was and thought that Chance had finally found someone who could take care of him.
When he got into the car again, Mitchell called.
The driver hurriedly picked it up.
"Mr.Crawford?"
Mitchell paused and asked, "Wallace, how is the new full-time nanny doing?" The driver, Wallace, was stunned and said with a smile, "She's doing well! She's patient and loving toward the young master, just like a teacher. The young master doesn't reject her at all. She was just thinking of taking the young master out to play for a while. She does her duty well."
"Alright."
Mitchell hung up the phone.
The driver sighed.
Of course, he did not dare to tell Mitchell that he shared Eric's gossip with Yasmin.
Otherwise, he would be fired.
Chance ran inside.
The apartment was empty with no one there. He kept standing there, a little confused.
Yasmin went over slowly and said softly, "Young Master, it's just the two of us living here. Your room is upstairs, so you can pick any room you like." Chance blinked and did not say a word before he ran upstairs. Yasmin sat on the sofa downstairs, slowly poured herself a glass of water, and said in a voice loud enough for Chance to hear, "How useless! Your father doesn't even like you."
Chance paused in his footsteps. His expression dimmed instantly as if he was hurt. He also looked downstairs in horror.
However, in the next second, Yasmin smiled and looked at him meaningfully. "Young Master, you're not allowed to play in secret. Daddy will only care about you if you study hard."
Yasmin smiled gently, but Chance felt a chill from her.
Chance pursed his lips, lowered his head, and walked into a spacious room. Soon after, the sky turned dark.
Yasmin came in with a towel and said with a smile, "Young Master, shall I give you a bath?"
Chance's body froze slightly. He looked back at her nervously.
After midnight, Eric's phone was ringing incessantly. He picked it up irritably. "Mitchell, it'd better be an emergency.It's 1:00 am!" Mitchell paused.
"My apologies, Mr. Ferguson. The young master suddenly has a fever. Perhaps
he hasn't adapted to staying in the apartment. He's been sent to the hospital." Eric was silent for a few seconds.
"Alright. That's good."
"Do you want to take a look?" Mitchell asked tentatively.
Eric said, "Doesn't he have a nanny?"
Mitchell was helpless and cautiously said, "Mr.Ferguson, you're his father after
all.If something goes wrong..."
Eric was annoyed and said with a cold attitude, "Fine. I'll come over shortly." "Yes, sir."
When Mitchell hung up the phone, his heart shuddered.
At least nothing happened.
Mitchell looked at Yasmin, who was standing and shivering at the door of the emergency room with a worried face. He frowned slightly. He did not expect that Chance would land up in a hospital the first day that Yasmin took care of him. His impression of Yasmin was great.
However, he still walked over when she saw that she was crying anxiously. "That's enough, Yasmin. Mr. Ferguson will be here in a while."
Chapter 2058 Suddenly Murdered
Yasmin was stunned for a moment. She seemed even more remorseful. "Mr.Ferguson is coming? Will he blame me for not taking good care of the young master? I really didn't mean for this to happen.I don't know why the young master suddenly had a fever. The young master is so well-behaved and sensible.I just wished that I could suffer all this for him instead!"
Mitchell paused. He thought that he was too harsh, which scared her.
"Don't worry.At least you sent him to the hospital in time. The doctor said that if
you hadn't brought him over in time, the young master might have suffered brain damage."
Enter title...
This was a near miss.
Otherwise, if the young master had brain damage, he would have a tough life. Yasmin sniffled.
"Mr.Crawford, please help me to beg for mercy later. Don't kick me out. I'll
definitely take care of the young master."
Mitchell frowned.
"It depends on Mr.Ferguson."
He did not want to continue speaking.
Mitchell turned around and went to another side to go through the formalities. After Mitchell left, Yasmin's expression changed. She glanced calmly at the door
of the emergency room and sat on the chair beside her.
Late at night, Nicole arrived at the hospital in a hurry with a document in
hand. She found the respective ward, pushed the door open, and entered.
Tina lay on the bed and almost fell asleep.
"Nicole, you're such a slacker! I asked you to come at 9:00 pm, but it's already 1:00 am now!"
Nicole went in with a tired face and smiled.
"I'm sorry. My driver has other errands to do, so I can only wait for my husband to send me here."
"Your husband sent you here? Can't you drive by yourself?"
"Have you ever seen a goddess drive?"
Tina said, "Heh... He's downstairs? Why didn't he come up?"
Nicole paused for a while as she thought, 'Can I say that Clayton doesn't want
to come up to see her?' Of course, Nicole could not be so direct, so she put it in another way.

"He's my driver, so he can only wait downstairs."
Tina got up from the bed, skimmed through the documents to ensure there were
no problems, ECq#jKL signed her name.
"Don't worry. Once the agreement is notarized by the lawyer tomorrow, all the
property in Zach's name will belong to me, and what's mine is yours." Tina smiled.
She felt elated when she thought that Zach's hard work was going to waste. Nicole paused.
"Don't regret selling it to me for half the price!"
"Of course, I won't. It's better than throwing it all away.I don't want to have
anything to do with him. Doesn't he like to transfer property? I'll get him to transfer it all back!"
Tina's tone was somewhat ruthless.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. She was not interested in their relationship, but this
time, she benefited from the situation.
Thus, it was inevitable that Nicole would ask about Tina.
Nicole laughed.
"Alright then. Don't think he won't be able to find you if you stay here.Zach's
really cunning, so just get it over with."
Tina smiled.
"Yeah, I'm just hiding from him while I sign. I'll go back tomorrow."
Nicole put away the documents.
"I'll get going then."
Tina said, "Men aren't trustworthy. You'd better keep an eye on your husband!" "Don't worry about it."
After Nicole finished speaking, she opened the door and left. She messaged Clayton and went downstairs.
Nicole waited a few seconds for the elevator.
However, as soon as the elevator opened, Nicole saw an unexpected person inside.
Eric stood there with a stern expression. He was stunned when he looked up and saw her.
"Nicole?"
Nicole frowned slightly, then nodded.
Eric pursed his lips.
His body froze for a moment before he walked out and said with a hoarse voice,
"Why are you here? Are you sick?"
His concern made Nicole uncomfortable.
The corners of her mouth twitched.
"No, I'm just visiting a friend. Goodbye."
Nicole walked into the elevator and quickly pressed the button to close the
elevator door.
Eric opened his mouth. His eyes held a complex emotion. He wanted to say something else, but the elevator door was slowly closing.
Eric stared at the elevator until it reached the parking lot in the basement. He still did not move until Yasmin came over.
She turned her head sideways and called out to him in a gentle voice, "Mr.Ferguson?"
Eric paused and resumed his cold and gloomy expression. He turned his head
sideways and went straight to the ward.
Mitchell had already informed him before he arrived at the hospital.
Chance was sent out of the emergency room and was currently under
observation in the ward. His fever started to subside.
Eric intended to leave, but since he was already there, he might as well go and
take a look. He did not expect to meet Nicole as well.
Eric walked to the door.
Mitchell mustered up his courage and walked over.
"Mr.Ferguson, he's much better now. His fever was caused by a cold.I think he'll
need to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days."
Eric nodded and looked at the time.
"Let him stay here. Inform his school and get someone to take care of him."
"Yes, sir."
After Eric finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Eric was not in the mood to care about the rest.
Shortly after Eric left, Yasmin came back and asked Mitchell anxiously,
"Mr.Crawford, did Mr. Ferguson blame me?"
Mitchell was taken aback.
Perhaps Eric did not even remember her.
He paused.
"No, you just need to take good care of the young master in the future."
Yasmin lowered her head and nodded.
Mitchell did not know if she had heard him.
The next day, Nicole woke up mid-morning since she went to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Clayton did not go to the office and planned to spend the day fishing with Floyd. When Nicole woke up, Clayton was urging his assistant, asking why his fishing gear had not been delivered.
Nicole got out of bed sleepily, followed the sound, hugged Clayton, who was sitting on the sofa, from behind, and rubbed his neck.
"You're leaving soon?"
Clayton's voice was husky as he replied, "Wanna join?"
"No, it's too boring."
Nicole yawned and turned around to look for Chatty.
Clayton knew what Nicole was looking for and chuckled.
"Big Brother picked up Chatty early in the morning for Levi's little party."
Nicole was puzzled.
"You allowed her to go and make trouble?"
Clayton raised his eyebrows in delight.
"Chatty's very well- behaved. All children like her!"
Nicole fell silent.
Was he talking about their daughter? Nicole scratched her head and went to the
bathroom to wash up.
As soon as she came out, her phone rang repeatedly.
Clayton was about to leave, but he made sure to hand over her phone.
Nicole took it, and Clayton casually kissed her on the cheek.
Just as he was about to say goodbye, he heard Logan's voice over the phone. "President, Tina died in the hospital last night. The police checked the surveillance footage and found out that you've been to her ward. The police are now looking for you to understand the situation."
For a moment, Nicole stood there in shock. She seemed to be trapped in the fog.
What happened?
"Who died?"
"Tina, Zach Gilbert's wife."
Clayton's face turned gloomy in an instant, and he stood there silently. He held
Nicole's hand and patted her shoulders, which were shaking slightly from the shock.
"It'll be fine. I'm right here."
Clayton coaxed her softly. His eyes were deep and dark.
Chapter 2059 Force Her to Jump
After Nicole hung up the phone, she still could not digest the news. Nicole had seen Tina a few hours ago.
Tina even bragged that she was about to be freed from a failed marriage.
How did she die so suddenly? Nicole immediately felt a chill all over her body. The soles of her feet felt cold.
Clayton carried Nicole to the sofa and patted her on the shoulder gently.
"I'm sorry.I should've gone up with you last night."
Enter title...
Something must have happened last night, but Nicole was too tired at the time to notice.
Clayton touched her face.
"It's okay.I know you didn't do it. Everything will be fine as long as you explain what happened clearly. I'll take care of the rest for you."
Nicole's expression suddenly changed. She tugged on his clothes.
"This isn't right.Is it related to our house's intruder from before? Tina knows me.Is that person targeting me?"
It was hard for Nicole not to doubt herself. Why was she involved in this?
Clayton kissed the back of her hand. He patiently calmed her down.
"Baby, don't think too much. It's just a coincidence. It has nothing to do with
you. Tina wanted to get a divorce.It's possible that her husband did it because of
the property.Don't scare yourself."
Clayton's voice was extremely low and gentle. Nicole slowly relaxed. She took a deep breath.
"I'm not scared.I just feel sad because I saw her last night!"
"I know, I understand."
Just as they were talking, Nicole's phone rang.It was Logan's call.
Nicole paused, then picked up.
Logan was very calm when he spoke.
"President, I've asked the lawyers of Stanton Corporation to go to the police
station. Don't worry, you don't need to show up personally."
Nicole responded and hung up the phone.
Clayton chuckled.
"Logan is quite attentive, huh? He can handle both the company and your private affairs!"
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and praised Logan.
"Of course! It took a lot of effort for Big Brother to give Logan to me.He's very competent!"
Nicole changed the topic and diverted Clayton's attention.
Clayton smiled.
"Okay.Why don't you take a rest? Since the lawyer went over, you don't need to be so nervous. You didn't do it anyway."
Nicole was silent for a few seconds before she said blankly, "I need to explain the situation clearly. After all, catching the murderer is also beneficial to us." She had an intuition that the murderer was connected to the person who broke into their house last time. However, they had no leads. She frowned took a deep breath.
"I'm going to get dressed and head to the police station. Are you going fishing with my dad?"
"Are you kidding? How can I be in the mood to go fishing now? I'll go with you." Clayton stood up and went to the dressing room to change his clothes.
Nicole smiled and said nothing. She felt better with Clayton next to her at such a time.
At the police station, they were not surprised to see Zach sitting there with a pale face.
Nicole did not know if Zach was truly sad or if he was just pretending, but he did not look to be in a good mental state.
With his back to Nicole, Zach cried to the policeman in front of him. His face was stained with snot and tears.
"My wife had a wrongful death. How could she jump off the building by herself? Someone must've forced her to do so! Who was the last person who saw her? Oh, Nicole Stanton?! You can't cover up this matter just because of her background.My wife can't die in vain!"
Nicole was slightly shocked. She frowned and looked over.
The police officer saw them, stood up, and walked over with a smile.
"Mr.Sloan, Ms.Stanton, you're here..."
In the next second, Zach's crying stopped abruptly.
Zach wiped his tears and turned his head to look at them, pretending to be
unintentional. His lips were still trembling.
"M-Ms.Stanton, why did you force my wife to jump off the building?"
When he said this, he did not even dare to look up at Nicole.
Nicole's eyes were cold as he took a deep look at Zach.
Clayton, who was behind her, hugged her shoulders and walked in.He
whispered, "The lawyer is inside. Don't say a word before you meet the lawyer."
Nicole lowered her eyes and walked in.
The police would not detain people for no reason during this stage of
investigation.
Nicole sat there calmly and glanced at the lawyer.
The lawyer nodded at her with a smile.
Nicole took a deep breath and looked at the policeman in front of her calmly. Clayton sat on the side.
Although he did not participate in the investigation, he exuded such a cold and
intimidating vibe that made him impossible to ignore.
"Ms.Stanton, why did you go to the hospital at 1:15 am last night to look for Tina?"
Nicole took out a document that had not been notarized.
"Tina asked me to go. Her husband had an extramarital affair and transferred out their property. She noticed that she was losing her property, so she transferred half of the property under her name to meat half the price based on the asset appraisal of the previous year. She has evidence of her husband's affair.In fact, it's her right to keep all their property, but that will make Zach go into debt, so she left him a way out."
The police took the document and specially looked at the signature.
"We need to compare the handwriting carefully."
"Of course."
Nicole raised her eyebrows.
Tina died before she got the document notarized, so Nicole did not know if the
document would still take effect with just a signature.
However, that should not be the concern now.
Officer Zolo, who was opposite them, asked, "Why did you go there in the
middle of the night?"
"Tina called me in the middle of the night and said that Zach seemed to know about her investigation on their property."

Nicole calmly told the police officer everything she knew.
The police officer was nice enough to let them go.
Zach was still crying until he was out of breath.
Nicole glanced at him with contempt and left.
Zach was even expecting an illegitimate child, so why was he pretending to be
sad here? Nicole went out of the police station, got into the car, and rubbed her forehead. She felt a little out of place.
In the past, Nicole always had the opportunity to deal with the dangers she encountered.
But this time, someone close to her was dead.
This feeling was indescribable.
Clayton sighed and held her hand.
"Alright, don't be afraid. Let's go home if you're tired."
Nicole was dumbfounded and shook her head. She looked at the driver.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Clayton frowned.
Nicole paused.
"The surveillance footage that day showed that I wasn't the only one who entered the ward. Why did Tina suddenly lose her mind after I left? Someone must've gone in after I left."
Clayton was silent for a moment.
Seeing that Nicole was emotionally stable, Clayton nodded in agreement.
"Did you notice anything unusual at that time? Or did you meet someone you shouldn't have met?"
Nicole thought, 'Met someone that I shouldn't have met?' She was slightly shocked.
"Eric Ferguson?"
Clayton's eyes darkened in an instant.
"what?"
"I was so tired at the time that I didn't take it to heart. When I went downstairs, I
met Eric who happened to be coming out of the elevator.But he doesn't know
Tina..."
Nicole frowned. She could not believe that Eric would kill Tina.
That was not necessary.
Even if Eric had a grudge against Tina, Eric would not be stupid enough to do it himself. Clayton's dark eyes st
Chapter 2060 Strange and Normal
Clayton forced a smile in response to Nicole's question.
"It's hard to say!"
It was meaningful.
At the hospital, the other floors besides the affected areas were open as usual.
After all, the hospital was not an ordinary public area.
Even if someone died, they could not delay other life-saving operations.
Nicole walked in with a heavy heart. She felt pity for Tina.
Enter title...
Although Tina brought it upon herself, Nicole still felt that Tina was a pitiful woman.
Nicole could not blame a pitiful, hopeless woman for being useless.
The closer she got to the floor, the weirder she felt. Clayton contacted the hospital's director in advance.
The dean had just come from the police station with a heavy heart as well. "Mr.Sloan, Ms.Stanton, what are you doing here? I believe in Ms.Stanton's innocence. Have you made it clear to the police?"
Nicole smiled and nodded.
"Director, do you have the surveillance footage for this floor?"
The director replied, "The police took one copy, and I have a copy with me."
He would not have taken it out if it was anyone else.
Since they were all acquaintances, and Nicole was the party involved, it was no harm to show them.
Nicole and Clayton looked at each other and went straight to the director's office.
The director found the surveillance footage.
Nicole sat there and watched carefully.
The footage began when Tina was admitted to the hospital.
Tina was admitted to the hospital around 5:00 pm. She was not sick, but to dispel people's doubts, she was given a glucose injection. Then, Tina started to discuss with the lawyer how to protect herself after the transfer of property. It looked boring.
Nicole was getting irritable and was about to fast forward the footage when Clayton stopped her from behind.
"Wait..."
Nicole paused.
"There's nothing here. Shouldn't we focus on seeing who went in after I left the hospital?"
Clayton squinted his eyes and stared at a figure on the screen.
"Is this Mitchell Crawford from Ferguson Corporation?"
The director of the hospital leaned closer nodded seriously.
"Yes.I remember that Mitchell contacted me.Eric Ferguson's son suddenly had a
fever, and Mitchell sent him over. He was waiting outside at the time."
Clayton frowned. He looked serious.
"Was Mitchell the only one there at that time?"
The director stood there and pondered.
"I think he brought a driver and a nanny with him.”
"You think?" Clayton asked in a deep voice.
The director knew that he had made a blunder and quickly said, "I didn't pay
much attention to it at the time and only talked to Mitchell."
He paused.
"I'll get someone to ask around."
Clayton nodded.
The director immediately called the doctor who was on call last night.
Nicole frowned.
"Why are you asking about this? Mitchell is also a senior executive. Why would
he kill someone? Wouldn't that be digging his own grave?"
Clayton smiled comfortingly.
"I'm just not letting go of any anomalies. Mitchell probably wouldn't, but who could guarantee that others wouldn't? What's more, why was it all such a coincidence?"
Nicole nodded.
Clayton touched her face and comforted her with a smile.
"If I'd known earlier, I would've taken you abroad. It's so troublesome to stay here."
Nicole said, "No. Let's settle the matter at hand.I don't want to leave being viewed as a potential suspect."
"My wife is such an upright and strong person!"
Nicole smiled and did not take this unintentional compliment to heart.
Clayton laughed from his chest. It eased Nicole's anxiousness in an instant.
The two continued to watch the surveillance footage.
Several doctors walked in one after another and even brought takeout for Tina.
Then, there was a long silence until Nicole went in.
During this period, only Mitchell and the doctors were seen in the footage.
Nicole only stayed for a few minutes and came out in less than five minutes. Through the elevator's footage, Clayton saw how Nicole and Eric met. Clayton's face darkened slightly for a moment. His eyes flickered, and he chuckled lightly.
"Mr.Ferguson loves his son very much. He still came over at such a late hour. What a great father-son relationship!"
Nicole nodded.
"After all, that's his son. Although it hasn't been made public, it's no longer a
secret in the circle."
Clayton went further out of topic.

"You saved his son last time. Does his son look like him?"
"Somewhat, but... They have very different personalities. That child seems a little timid.Eric and Angie aren't timid people, but this child is very easily frightened." Nicole frowned and shook her head, feeling sympathetic. Clayton smiled.
"Didn't you see the news lately? Two genius parents gave birth to a mediocre child.It's not surprising for their child to have a different personality." "Right.Luckily, Chatty is really brave. She's not scared of anything, so we don't need to worry about her being bullied in the future!"
Clayton raised his eyebrows.
That was true. As they talked, the surveillance footage continued playing.
After Nicole left, no one entered Tina's ward again. Then, they heard someone
calling for help as Tina jumped off the building.
The whole floor was in chaos afterward.
At that time, it was already too late.
Nicole's originally relaxed expression gradually turned serious. No one went in after her, which meant that she was the last one who went in to see Tina. This also meant that she was the biggest suspect.
Clayton's face was cold, and his eyes darkened a little. He touched Nicole's hair. "She might have jumped off the building by herself. There might be a reason why she suddenly felt depressed."
Nicole said, "If she was depressed, why did she sell her fixed assets to me?"
Their relationship was not so good to that point.
As they spoke, the director found the doctor and brought him over.
The doctor was apprehensive.
Early in the morning, almost all those who had gone to Tina's ward were questioned by the police.
The director asked, "Who else besides Mr.Crawford came when Young Master Ferguson was sent over?"
"The driver sent the boy over. Mr.Ferguson came for a while and left.Oh, right.Mr.Crawford brought his girlfriend. She was very beautiful. She left as soon as Mr.Crawford left."
That was why the doctor did not think that the woman had anything to do with the Ferguson family.
Nicole knew that Mitchell had a girlfriend, so she was not surprised. However, Clayton turned his head sideways and looked over. His voice was cold.
"In other words, when Mitchell left, no one stayed to take care of the boy?" The doctor frowned and shook his head.
"At that time, our staff reminded them that the child's fever was subsiding, so the child shouldn't be disturbed.I didn't see anyone with the child after that." Upon hearing this, the director felt that something was wrong and clicked his tongue.
It would be fine if it was an ordinary patient, but how could Eric Ferguson's son
be treated like this without anyone to care for him? However, it was
understandable since Eric did not care about Chance.
Clayton kept frowning. His eyes darkened, as if he was thinking about
something.
The director asked vigilantly, "Mr.Sloan, is Mr.Ferguson involved in this matter?"
If Eric was involved, then his hospital would face even more trouble.
Clayton smiled faintly.
"Just leave it to the police."
