Ch. 2061..2070

Chapter 2061 You Have to Be Sensible

The director was stunned for a moment and had some doubts.

Clayton explained.

"This spells trouble for the hospital. If word gets out that a patient jumped off the hospital building, what will happen to the hospital's credibility?"

He did not continue the rest, but the director understood in an instant.

If Eric came forward, this matter would be resolved faster. He just had some

doubts.

Enter title...

With Clayton's and Nicole's background and influence, it would not be difficult to cover up this matter.

Why did they want to involve Eric into this? The director could not figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Since Clayton pointed him in a direction, the director had no choice but to do as told.

Clayton and Nicole stood up.

Nicole pursed her lips.

"What did the police conclude on their investigation at the crime scene? Were

there any signs of struggle?"

The director paused and nodded.

Nicole's heart sank slightly. She understood in an instant.

It was no wonder the police dared to investigate the cause of death with such

fanfare, rather than simply concluding the case as a suicide.

If there were signs of struggle, it meant that Tina resisted before her death. This was murder.

The two of them declined the director's offer to send them off and left silently, holding hands.

The floor where Tina's accident happened was sealed off.

The patients were moved to the floor below.

There were a lot of people in the hospital, and there were more people in the elevator.

The elevator stopped just in time for someone to enter while they were inside. Clayton helplessly protected Nicole in his arms, but those old people squeezed

inside the crowded elevator anyway.

Just like that, Nicole and Clayton were pushed out of the elevator.

Nicole took a deep breath.

Clayton laughed and moved his arm.

"I didn't expect those old people to be so energetic."

Nicole sighed.

"They're used to squeezing into public transport!"

Clayton would not get into that elevator again.

"Why don't we take the stairs?"

Nicole also agreed.

The two of them were walking toward the entrance of the stairway when Nicole

suddenly felt something soft GAam%AjIL cool touching her hand.

Nicole was startled and turned back immediately. She froze in place.

"Hey, it's you..."

It was Chance, Eric's son.

Clayton looked over. His eyes darkened slightly. He frowned and looked at

Chance in displeasure.

Chance raised his head. His tender face was morbidly pale, and he looked very pitiful.

However, his eyes were crystal clear and tinted with a hint of joy because of Nicole's presence.

Chance pursed his lips and smiled at Nicole. He recognized her as the beautiful woman who rescued him from the fire.

Chance called out for a long time, but no one saved him.

There were others who went over that day, but only this woman in front of him went to save him.

Chance was the son that Eric disliked, so everyone coaxed him superficially, but they secretly did not like him.

That was because Eric would not reward anyone for taking good care of Chance, so why bother? This was what Chance overheard from the servants in the Ferguson Villa.

Chance thought he was going to die in the fire, but this woman saved him. Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with a smile.

"Chance, where's your family? Why did you run out here? I heard that you're sick..."

Although Nicole did not like Eric, the child in front of her was really pitiful.

No matter how rude she was, she could not treat a sick child coldly.

Clayton stood there, narrowed his eyes, and pulled Nicole back. Her hand was separated from the child's.

The child blinked in disappointment and looked hurt.

Clayton hooked his lips and looked at Nicole attentively.

"Why don't we get the doctor to check on him?"

Nicole nodded.

"Yeah, it's dangerous for a child to run out alone!"

Chance stared at her blankly for a few seconds. He could feel that the man

beside this beautiful woman did not like him.

Although Chance was still a child, he could keenly sense other people's attitude

toward him. He reached out to pull Nicole's hand again, cautiously.

The man's face darkened.

Nicole did not shrug Chance's hand off and held his hand. She looked at

Clayton, who was next to her.

"Go and get a doctor."

The corner of Clayton's mouth twitched. He glanced at Nicole and left.

Chance carefully smiled and could not conceal his joy.

He initially had a dedicated nurse to take care of him, but the nurse was too

busy and was called away.

Chance pointed to his room, indicating that his room was over there.

Nicole immediately understood.

"I'll take him back to the ward. You can get the doctor."

She was dragged away by Chance before Clayton agreed.

Clayton snorted and stared at the child with cold eyes.

Chance was just as annoying as his father.

However, Clayton was not threatened by the child. He turned around and went to

the nurse's station.

Nicole sent Chance back to his room.

This ward was very luxurious, but there was no one inside.

Chance could not climb onto such a high bed and swung his little legs.

Nicole kindly carried him up.

Chance took out his pen and paper from under the pillow and quickly wrote in crooked handwriting.

"auntie, I like you. Will you be my mother?"

Chance raised his hands and looked at her eagerly with a hint of hope. He could feel that the woman in front of him was genuinely nice to him and had no other motives.

How great would it be if only he could choose his mother? How great would it be if this person in front of him was his mother? Nicole carefully read what he

wrote.

She was surprised that Chance could write so many words at such a young age.

At the same time, she was anxious because Chatty was so far behind.

However, seeing the child's pitiful appearance, she sorted out her emotions and said with a smile, "No, you have your own parents who treat you well.Children can't exchange their parents!"

Nicole smiled and pinched his little cheek.

"But thanks for liking me. You're much more likable than your father."

Nicole meant this from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, Chance was also more likable than his mother. However, it was not appropriate to talk badly about his parents in front of him. Thus, Nicole only said the first half of her sentence.

Chance lowered his head in disappointment and knelt on the bed aggrievedly, looking as if he was about to cry.

Nicole panicked for a while.

When Chatty cried, it was mostly a fake cry, and Clayton could coax her easily. Nicole did not know what to do with other people's children. She patted the bed. "You need more rest when you're sick. Lie down."

Chance blinked and wrote on the paper.

"Can you stay?"

Nicole paused and sat on the side.

"Okay, go to sleep. I won't leave for the time being."

Chance smiled, very obediently pulled the quilt aside, and lay down.

Nicole tucked him under the quilt and asked, "How did you get sick?"

The smile on Chance's face disappeared.

Instead, he looked flustered. He closed his eyes immediately.

Yasmin's gentle voice echoed in his mind, "Chance, your father will only notice you when you're sick, so you must be sensible!"

Chapter 2062 What He Should Not Say

Chance's expectations of his father were no longer as high as they were in the beginning. He gradually accepted that his father did not like him.

Eric cared more about Uncle Mitchell and did not care about him.

Uncle Mitchell said that there was a reason for it and that he would understand

when he grew up.

However, could he survive until then? Nicole sat there for less than two minutes before Clayton brought the doctor over. She stood up and was about to walk away when Chance opened his eyes, took her hand, and looked at her pitifully. Enter title...

Nicole suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.

In the next second, Clayton walked over with a smile, took Chance's hand away from Nicole, held his hand, and sat in Nicole's seat.He said with a smile, "Do you need to be coaxed to sleep? I'm more experienced in taking care of children.Let me!"

Nicole raised her eyebrows and nodded immediately.

"Right, go ahead!"

She completely believed in Clayton's ability.

Clayton could even control the little devil Chatty, so he should have no problems with other children.

Chance timidly wanted to withdraw his hand, but Clayton did not give him the chance.

Clayton squeezed Chance's hand slightly in his palm and looked at the child lying on the bed with a specious smile. He could easily see through this child's little thoughts.

"Go to sleep. I'll wait until you fall asleep before I leave.If you can't sleep, I will never leave!"

Chance gave up struggling, looked at Nicole aggrievedly, and closed his eyes reluctantly.

At the time, Nicole was talking to the doctor.

Seeing that Chance was about to sleep, Nicole followed the doctor out.

Clayton smiled and was very satisfied.

Nicole asked, "Is there no one watching him?"

The doctor paused.

"His nanny called and said that she'll come in a while. It's our negligence. We'll

leave a nurse here to take care of him."

Nicole nodded.

"Children get sick easily. He's so pitiful."

The doctor said, "Young Master Ferguson caught a cold.It seemed like he took a cold shower. His fever came all of a sudden almost gave him brain damage!" Nicole could not help but frown. This kid was very sensible. He would not be so careless.

In a few minutes, Clayton came out of the ward.

Nicole raised her eyebrows.

"He's asleep?"

Clayton nodded.

Nicole was surprised.

"He fell asleep so soon?"

Clayton nodded solemnly and opened a gap in the door for her to peek inside. Nicole looked over and saw Chance lying there. He was indeed asleep and

breathing calmly with his eyes closed.

She smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Clayton a thumbs up. "Amazing!"

He was indeed very experienced.

Clayton smiled impolitely.

"Let's go?"

Nicole nodded.

Clayton greeted the doctor and left with Nicole. He did not choose the stairs this

time and took the elevator instead.

Nicole was puzzled, so Clayton smiled and explained, "The elevator is faster."

At least he would not meet the people he did not like again.

Clayton's eyes flickered and darkened slightly.

Chance's little schemes still could not compare to Michael's.

That troublemaker Michael still had to go to school obediently.

When the two of them just arrived at the entrance and were about to get into the

car, they noticed a figure brushing past them.

Nicole saw someone who looked familiar.

The other party also saw Nicole.

The two were stunned for a second.

Nicole smiled and waved at the person.

"Yasmin? Why did you come to the hospital?"

Yasmin paused, walked forward with a gentle smile, glanced at Clayton, and

said politely, "I came to visit a friend.He's sick."

Nicole frowned.

"Nathaniel?"

"No, no.It's my other friend."

Seeing that Yasmin did not want to say more and that the sick person was not

Nathaniel, Nicole did not pursue the question.

Yasmin glanced at Clayton, who was next to Nicole, and smiled.

"I'll head upstairs then.Goodbye!"

Nicole nodded and waved.

"Goodbye."

She turned her head to look at Clayton and complained.

"It's not like you've never met her. Why didn't you say hello?"

Clayton paused and said with a smile, "She's a woman.How can I say hello to

other women without your consent?"

This was a perfect reason, and Nicole suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.She

looked at him with a smile and pinched his face.

"Mir.Sloan, why are you so tactful?"

Clayton smiled slightly and looked at her dotingly.

"It's because you trained me well."

Just as Nicole was about to say something, Clayton suddenly felt that

something was wrong. He saw her unadorned earlobe on one side and frowned slightly.

"You only have one earring left. Did you drop the other earring somewhere?" Nicole touched her ears.

Sure enough, her right earlobe felt empty.She frowned slightly and glanced

back.

"Forget it. It's not very valuable anyway, so it's not worth our time to look for it.I'll just buy an identical one."

Clayton nodded.

When the two of them got into the car, they received a call from Floyd.

"Chatty went to preschool. You guys need to pick her up because I twisted my back!"

Nicole was shocked and worried.

"I wasted your back? I'll go over to see you now."

Floyd sighed.

"I'm much better now. Don't worry about me. You need to accompany

Chatty. Hurry up and go over."

"Okay..."

Nicole hung up the phone.

Clayton asked her with concern, "Is it serious? Should I get a doctor to go and

check it out?"

Nicole nodded.

"Yeah, that'll be good. My dad is really careless.I don't want him to leave it untreated."

Clayton turned his head and contacted a specialist.

Yasmin watched them leave and came out of the shadows. Her beautiful and gentle eyes were filled with coldness. She had just received a call from Mitchell saying that Eric would visit Chance in a while.

Yasmin waited downstairs for a while and felt that it was almost time before she went to Chance's ward.

Chance was not truly asleep. He just faked it so that Clayton would leave quickly. Chance felt that Nicole's hand was warm when she held him, but Clayton's hand felt cold, just like the other woman's.

Yasmin took out a hat and mask from her bag, walked out of the stairway, and went into Chance's ward.

Chance was still holding the earring in his hand.

The beautiful woman had accidentally dropped it on his bed earlier.He thought

that the beautiful woman would definitely come back.

In that case, he would be able to see her again.

When he heard the sound of high heels, he excitedly opened his eyes and

looked toward the door.

As a result, Yasmin appeared as soon as the door was opened.

The smile on Chance's little face disappeared. His eyes flickered with

nervousness as he clenched the earring in his palm tightly.

Yasmin looked around the room, walked inside, sat down, and looked at him

coldly.

"Your father is coming to visit you in a while. You'd better not mention anything

that you shouldn't say.Got it?"

Her voice was as gentle as always, but Chance was terrified.Chance glanced at

her timidly.

His face was taut as he nodded in silence.

Chapter 2063 Be Together Forever

The corner of Yasmin's mouth twitched as she leaned forward slightly. Her eyes suddenly became gentle as she reached out to touch Chance's fair and tender little face.

However, she did not have much emotion.

"Chance, Mommy is doing this for your own good. Didn't you always want our little family of three to be together forever? As long as you help Mommy and Daddy stay together, we can be reunited."

Chance lay stiffly on the bed and tried his best to close his eyes, pretending to be asleep. He pretended not to hear Yasmin's horrifying words.

Enter title...

Yasmin did not get mad either. She gently touched Chance's small fist.

In the next second, Chance shuddered out of panic, and the thing in his hand

fell out.

Yasmin's eyes flickered slightly. She picked up the earring, and her eyes gradually turned cold.

If she remembered correctly, Nicole had the same earring on one of her ears just now. Her eyes gradually darkened as she looked at Chance's face.

Chance opened his eyes, looking very nervous. He looked at the earring but did not dare to take it back from Yasmin.

Yasmin could not even maintain the tenderness on her face. She stared at him with such deadly cold eyes.

"Have you seen Nicole? Why is her earring with you? Is she still in contact with your father?"

Chance closed his mouth tightly, unable to say a word. His eyes were fearful. Yasmin's patience was exhausted, so she stood up abruptly.

"Speak! You could cry and scream at birth, so why are you pretending to be mute?!"

Chance pursed his lips, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

Yasmin suddenly threw the earring in her hand on his body and gritted her teeth.

"You little ingrate!"

The air in the room was terribly cold.

Suddenly, the sound of high heels approached the room.

Someone knocked on the door.

Yasmin's face instantly turned gentle as if she put on a mask.

She stretched out her hand and pressed Chance on the bed, making him lie down.

Then, she "thoughtfully" covered him with a quilt.

In the next second, the door was pushed open.

Ingrid brought Cheryl into the ward EFm&_jLN said with a smile, "Chance, I

heard that you were sick, so I came to see you. Are you feeling better?"

She paused and frowned when she saw a stranger in the room.

Ingrid looked at Yasmin with hostility.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Yasmin smiled gently and moved aside.

"My name is Yasmin.Mr.Ferguson hired me to take care of the young master." Ingrid frowned.

"Why didn't I hear about it?"

Cheryl, who was next to Ingrid, stepped forward, looked at Yasmin, and said to

Ingrid, "I met her at the entrance of Chance's school before. She's the new fulltime nanny."

Ingrid nodded with understanding and glanced at her with disdain.

"The nanny dressed so sloppily. She looks quite young, so she's most likely a

seductress."

Ingrid walked over, pushed Yasmin away, and rudely commanded, "Go away. Don't stay here and disturb us!"

Yasmin's eyes darkened, but she did not show a hint of anger. She stepped

aside and went to the other side of the room to clean up.

Cheryl stood there. Her eyes flickered with a meaningful thought, and she

quickly withdrew her gaze.

Ingrid took Cheryl's hand and comforted her.

"Don't feel threatened by that nanny. You're from a rich family, so you don't need

to worry about a lowly nanny.I'll tell my brother to fire her and hire an old and ugly nanny instead!"

Cheryl's eyes flickered, and she quickly said, "I don't mean that. It doesn't matter as long as she can take good care of Chance."

Ingrid looked at Cheryl with satisfaction.

"I know you're a kind and sensible person. Don't worry, I will definitely help you become my sister-in-law."

After Ingrid said that, she did not notice that Yasmin, who was wiping the table

on the side, looked over at them with gloomy eyes.

Ingrid did not notice it at all.

Cheryl shyly bowed her head and smiled, "Don't say that, there's nothing between us..."

"My brother didn't have any weaknesses before, but he does now. Our previous

plan was wrong, so we should change our angle. As long as you treat Chance

well, my brother will definitely notice you. The Ferguson family is lacking a matron who can keep the house in order."

Ingrid smiled and looked at Cheryl.

"You're the most suitable candidate for that with your high level of education and good personality. You also don't mind that my brother has a son from his previous marriage. Most importantly, you're both from the same social circle. Who

else in the circle is more suitable than you?"

Cheryl lowered her head and blushed.

"Don't say that. You know that I only like Chance."

Ingrid smiled meaningfully and looked away. She knew that what Cheryl said

was superficial, but she did not mind.

Ingrid went over and touched Chance's face.

"Chance, wake up!"

Chance blinked, opened his eyes, and looked at them in confusion.

Ingrid smiled.

"Look, this is Aunt Cheryl. Do you want her to be your mother in the future?" Chance subconsciously looked at Yasmin.

Yasmin turned her back to them so that she would not lose control of her emotions.

From the back, she was just focused on cleaning up.

Ingrid shrugged her shoulders.

"Did you hear what I said? When your dad comes later, tell him that you like

Aunt Cheryl very much. Got it?"

Chance stared at them blankly and did not understand their intentions.He just blinked his eyes.

Cheryl walked over and smiled gently.

"Chance, you can call me Auntie Cheryl.I like you very much, so I'll come to see you often in the future."

Cheryl reached out to touch Chance's head, but he subconsciously avoided her hand.

While Cheryl was stunned, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Eric and the doctor came in.

Seeing so many people inside, Eric looked glum.

Eric looked at the doctor and said in a cold tone, "Is this what you mean by undisturbed rest?"

The doctor felt embarrassed. He told Ingrid before, but Ingrid was Eric's sister, so he did not dare to stop her.

Ingrid was not at all afraid and said coldly, "Do I need their approval to visit my nephew? What, can't I visit your son since I lost mine?"

Eric stared at Ingrid with a cold and glum expression.

Ingrid did not become passive or depressed after her miscarriage. Instead, she became even more unreasonable and deviant than before. She did not leave Mediania according to Eric's arrangement and insisted on staying here even though she could no longer mingle with the high society ladies in the circle.

However, she did not want to leave and found a way to come back after she was sent away.

One day, she met Cheryl.

Cheryl only became richer after Gerard made his fortune.

The Lichman family was not considered an affluent family, so the people in the

circle did not hang out with Cheryl.

Cheryl thought that she was different from those trust fund babies since she was

educated, so she did not bother to suck up to them.

Cheryl, who was not accepted by the gentry circle, met Ingrid.

The two got along because of their commonality.

Chapter 2064 Who Are You?

In fact, Cheryl and Ingrid met at Old Master Ferguson's funeral.

Cheryl followed Gerard to the Ferguson Villa.

Since Quinn could not make it back to Atlanta, the matron of the house was not

there to welcome them.

Thus, the servants settled them down at the side hall.

However, Cheryl could not sit still.

Cheryl saw Ingrid dressed in black clothes, sneakily following Mitchell to the

back building. She was astonished.

Enter title...

After Mitchell left, Ingrid went upstairs and locked the room.

Cheryl only realized what happened when Ingrid lit the curtains, sofa, and other flammable items on fire. She came to a realization that Ingrid wanted to trap

Eric's son ina fire.

Cheryl saw hatred, pleasure, indifference, and forbearance in Ingrid's eyes.She

did not understand why Ingrid would hate a child so much.

The fire burned for a long time before it reached the second floor.

Suddenly, there was an urgent rapping coming from the second floor.

Chance was calling for help.

Ingrid laughed happily. Cheryl saw someone rushing over through the window.

That person who rushed over was Nicole.

For some reason, Cheryl rushed in and brought Ingrid out.

That was why Nicole did not see anyone when she got there.

Ingrid had escaped.

Afterward, Ingrid asked Cheryl what she wanted as a token of gratitude.

Cheryl said, "I want to marry Eric Ferguson."

She was very blunt and straightforward.

Since she had something on Ingrid, she was not afraid that Ingrid would laugh

at her wishful thinking.

Ingrid looked at her for a long time before nodding with a smile.

"So many women flock to Eric, but you're the most suitable one." Ingrid evaluated her.

After that, Ingrid asked Cheryl before she left the funeral.

"If you had time to save me, why didn't you stop me?"

Cheryl only smiled and did not answer.

Eric was so perfect, and his only regret was having this illegitimate child.

Cheryl was not a saint, nor was she stupid.

Who would want to be a stepmother? Wouldn't it be better if Ingrid could get rid

of Eric's son? Unfortunately, their plan failed.

Eric's face was glum as he stared at Ingrid.

They looked like they did not get along at all. It was as if they were on the verge of fighting.

Their attitude toward each other was downright cold.

Seeing this, Cheryl smiled said, "Don't misunderstand,

Mr.Ferguson.Ms. Ferguson came here because she cares about Chance.After

all, she's Chance's aunt, so how could she not worry? Ms. Ferguson and I were together just now, so we stopped by."

There were not many opportunities for Cheryl to meet Eric.

Thus, Cheryl wanted to establish a gentle and kind image in front of Eric.

Eric looked at her coldly and frowned deeply.

"Who are you?"

Cheryl's face froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

This chapter is provided by allworldbeauty.com. Visit allworldbeauty.com for daily update.

"Mr.Ferguson, you might not remember me, but we were together at the auction

that day.I'm Gerard Lichman's sister, Cheryl."

Before she could finish speaking, Eric stared at Ingrid impatiently.

"You'd better leave as soon as possible. I don't care what your motives are, but you'd better stop thinking about it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless!"

Ingrid sneered. She suddenly exploded as if Eric had hit a nerve in her. "Otherwise? Haven't you always been heartless? Who else do you care for besides that b*tch Nicole Stanton? Do you care about anyone else?" Eric's eyes seemed to be quenched with ice.

They were terribly cold.

"This is a warning.If you dare to speak recklessly again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Ingrid gritted her teeth and held her head up.

"What, are you gonna kill me? You've already murdered my unborn child.I'm your biological sister! Can't you give me a way out?!"

The quarrel between the Ferguson siblings startled everyone present. Cheryl did not expect Eric to hate Ingrid so much. If she got close to Ingrid, would Eric also hate her? Usually, wealthy families would pamper the youngest daughter, but the Ferguson family was not like the typical affluent families. Cheryl began to secretly regret that she was on the wrong team. However, if she offended Ingrid at this time, then she would have no chance to get close to the Ferguson family in the future.

Just when Cheryl was deliberating to ease the situation, Yasmin, who had been pretending to be invisible, stepped out.

Yasmin looked at Eric and said in a gentle voice, "Mr.Ferguson, please stop arguing for the sake of the young master. He has just recovered. The doctor said that he can be discharged from the hospital today.Why don't you take the young master back home with you?"

As soon as Yasmin said that, all eyes were on her.

Cheryl looked at Yasmin with a bit of annoyance and disgust on her face. Cheryl noticed this nanny who appeared out of nowhere at Chance's school

entrance long ago and knew that she must have ulterior motives. Yasmin took care of Chance to get close to Eric. She was actually ahead of Cheryl.

Eric was very angry, but when he saw Chance, he frowned slightly. He did not know if Chance was frightened by their quarrel.

Chance's face was pale as he sat curled up on the bed, looking very helpless. Tears streamed down the boy's face, but he did not make a sound.

Eric suddenly recalled that his son had a speech disability.

In an instant, Eric had mixed emotions.

Eric suppressed the anger in his chest, looked at Yasmin, and said with a cold tone, "Pack up and take him away. The driver will be waiting downstairs." Yasmin nodded gently and happily.

"Yes, Mr.Ferguson."

Eric glanced at Ingrid disapprovingly, turned around, and left. He did not even glance at Cheryl.

Cheryl gritted her teeth in disappointment. She looked extremely reluctant. She had no choice but to suppress the surging emotions in her heart. She took a deep look at Yasmin, who also looked at her.

Their eyes met in silent confrontation.

Chance scrambled to get off the bed, but the bed was too tall for his feet to reach the ground. He looked at Ingrid, who was the closest to him. However, Ingrid did not even look at him. She just turned around and left. Cheryl noticed Chance's struggle, forced a fake smile, stepped forward, and reached out to help him.

At that moment, Yasmin, who was not far away, suddenly coughed. Chance suddenly withdrew his hand, held the edge of the bed, and slowly slid down by himself.

Cheryl noticed how much this child listened to Yasmin and alienated her. Cheryl suddenly felt suffocated and uncomfortable, as if something had smashed onto her chest.

Yasmin went forward and watched as Chance put on his shoes. She took Chance's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go. Your father is still waiting for us downstairs."

Yasmin looked at Cheryl and smiled meaningfully as if she was declaring war and showing off.

Cheryl's eyes darkened as she watched them leave. She stood there for a while before she went out.

Ingrid was still standing not far away, swearing at the people downstairs.

Cheryl did not know why Ingrid hated them so much.

The Novel will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 2065 Openly Imitate Her Cheryl hesitated to speak.

When Ingrid turned around, she saw Cheryl.

In an instant, Chery] and Ingrid regained their composure.

Ingrid smiled at Cheryl and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"I was waiting for you. You finally came out."

Cheryl walked over and asked unintentionally, "Sorry, did I come at a bad time?

I didn't mean to pry into your personal affairs."

Ingrid raised her eyebrows.

Enter title...

"You'l] be part of our family sooner or later, so don't worry about it."

Cheryl smiled and seemed to be a little depressed.

"Your brother seems to have no interest in me.I guess I'm not his type, huh? I think his attitude toward the nanny is much better than it is to me."

Ingrid looked up, smiled, and took her arm.

"Cheryl, don't think too much. Everyone has their own style. How could Eric like a nanny? He just did that to provoke me. You won't be implicated in our conflict. If you're not his type, then you can just change your style to fit his type."

Cheryl looked at her in surprise.

Ingrid smiled and pulled her away.

The two women went to the mall and shopped for a long time.

They only shopped at luxury stores.

Cheryl had used up her savings to buy new clothes and jewelry. She even had several overdrafts on her bank cards. She smiled calmly on the surface, but her heart was aching. Those clothes were a little sexy and cute.

They were utterly different from her usual conservative style of dressing.

Cheryl put on a body-hugging dress with golden stitching on the edges.

The hem of the dress fell to her ankles. She looked bright and flamboyant after completely changing her style.

It was a stark contrast to her introverted and calm personality. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt like her reflection was a stranger.

Ingrid did not explicitly say who else liked this style of dressing.

However, Cheryl had noticed it at the auction that day.It was similar to Nicole's style.

In an instant, Chery] felt like she was slapped in the face. Her face felt hot and looked flushed.

Cheryl was a top student, but she was reduced to imitating another woman to please a man.It was simply ridiculous.

She suddenly had the urge to take it off, turn around, leave.

However, for some reason, she could not move her feet. Her emotions were easily restrained.

After Ingrid finished a phone call, she walked over to take a look and nodded in satisfaction.

"You're so beautiful! Your dressing is too plain.Men, especially my brother, like flamboyant and charming women. By the way, you should get your hair done later.Curl it slightly, and get the makeup artist to customize a look for you. You'll look perfect then!"

Cheryl looked at Ingrid with a smile and nodded.

"Okay. Thanks to you, I feel like I'm a completely different person now!" Ingrid raised her eyebrows.

"Don't worry, I'm here for you. My brother won't look at other women. As long as you look beautiful, he'll only have eyes for you in the future!"

Only you.

Ingrid's words made Cheryl's heart race.

Cheryl looked at her reflection in the mirror.

At times, she saw her dull and proud self.

Sometimes, she saw Nicole's face.

Were they so alike? No, Nicole's facial features were bolder and more seductive.

However, Cheryl imitated Nicole's style and looked like Nicole, which was enough to attract people's attention.

This would work.

Cheryl smiled. She convinced herself that it did not matter who she was imitating as long as she could get close to that man. She could still revert to her original style once Eric fell in love with her.

That way, Cheryl could comfort herself. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought that her reflection was much more pleasing to the eye.

The salesperson on the side praised Cheryl with a good attitude, which made Cheryl feel less distressed after spending so much money.

Chance's birthday is in two days. Although my brother doesn't like him very much, his existence is known by many, so there will definitely be a banquet. Dress like this when the time comes, and you'll certainly surprise everyone!"

Cheryl smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll do as you suggest."

She walked out with many shopping bags.

Ingrid's hands were free, but she had no intention of helping.

Ingrid was used to being a pampered young lady and would never carry bags for others.

Cheryl's eyes were dark, but she did not say anything.

Before she walked out of the store entrance, she overheard the manager's phone call.

The manager had a smile on his face as he walked in hastily.

"Linda, this season's new products have arrived. They're all global limited editions. Call Ms.Stanton's housekeeper now and ask if we should deliver it to her house or if she wants to come over and try it in person?"

Cheryl paused in her footsteps. She had already gone over budget for these things.

The store attendant's good attitude toward her was superficial.

Since these were ordinary luxury goods, the store attendant did not earn much commission from them.

Cheryl did not dare to ask for any limited editions because she knew her financial strength very well. She was not at all on the same level as Nicole.

Thus, Cheryl had no choice but to put up with it.

Ingrid's eyes turned cold for a moment, but she was already used to this.

Now, Ingrid could easily bear with it. She patted Cheryl on the shoulder.

"Cheryl, when you marry my brother and become the matron of the Ferguson family, you can have anything you want! When the time comes, they'll beg you to buy their things."

Cheryl nodded and said with a smile, "Let's go and get our hair done."

"Okay.

"Ferguson Residence. This was the first time Eric came to this apartment. He did not expect it to be so empty.He frowned, took a look around, looked back at Chance, who was huddled behind Yasmin, and beckoned to him. Yasmin hurriedly pushed the child forward.

"Young Master, your father wants to talk to you. Be polite..."

Her gentle voice made Chance raise his head and look at Eric.

Eric paused, withdrew his hand, and looked down at him.

"How does it feel to live here? Do you think it's better to live here or in school?"

Eric used up the little bit of patience he had at this moment. He told himself that Chance was his son.

No matter what, he had to ensure a comfortable environment for the child.

Chance blinked.

Although he was not as close to Eric as he wanted to be at first, it was rare for

Eric to talk to him so patiently.

Thus, his heart gradually softened.

Chance took out a pen and paper and slowly wrote, "Here."

When Chance handed it to Eric, he subconsciously glanced at Yasmin.

Seeing those words, Yasmin smiled to express her satisfaction.

Only then did Chance look at Eric and lower his head.

Chance pursed his lips and remained silent. He did not like it here, nor did he like school.

However, if living here meant that he could see his dad more often, he would rather live here.

Eric's frown disappeared in an instant.

"It's good that you like to live here. Don't create any more trouble in the future, and don't get sick so often."

Chance's pupils shrank.

His face turned pale, and he lowered his head aggrievedly.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 2066

Her Background Eric frowned. He could not stand seeing his son being so cowardly and timid.

However, he knew that he was not close to his son, so he could not bring himself to lecture Chance.

Who knew how Angie brought him up in the first place? Eric suspected from the beginning that Angie had an ulterior motive in placing Chance by his side.

Since Angie had bad intentions, Eric was not willing to waste his effort in developing feelings for his son.

Thus, Eric did not care much about this kid.

Enter title...

Eric thought so, and the emotion in his eyes faded a little.

He stood up straight and looked at Yasmin.

"Take good care of the young master. If he gets sick again, you won't be able to keep this job."

Yasmin could not even take care of a child, and Eric usually did not have much patience for his employees. He would rather replace Yasmin with another nanny that could do the job well. Yasmin paused and immediately assured him.

"Mr.Ferguson, don't worry. I'll take good care of the young master so that he won't get sick again."

It was common for children to get sick.

The reason why Eric did not want Chance to get sick was not that he was worried about Chance, but because he did not want to waste his time and energy checking on Chance. Any business or project would be more valuable than visiting a patient in the hospital.

Eric raised his foot and was about to leave.

Yasmin caught up to Eric after he took a few steps out.

She suddenly said, "Mr.Ferguson, he didn't get sick because of weak immunity..."

Eric held his phone and looked back at her impatiently.

"What do you want to say?"

He did not have the patience to listen to her parenting tips.

Yasmin took a deep breath and looked up at him.

"He shouldn't have gotten sick so suddenly.He just moved out of school into this apartment, so it could be that he wasn't used to the environment. But I think there's another reason for it." Eric looked at her silently with gloomy eyes.

Yasmin continues, "Perhaps he didn't receive enough fatherly love, so he wanted to attract your attention. Thus, he hurt himself to attract your care

EGq!_pIN attention. Mr.Ferguson, can you let him stay with you every day? He'll gradually get better if he can see you every day."

Eric's eyes changed slightly. He frowned. His face was dark.

Yasmin paused and said, "I also heard that the young master wasn't born with a speech disability.It might be a psychological disorder. If you let him stay by your side, it'll be good for his disability!" Eric looked at Yasmin with a meaningful gaze.

His expression was grim as he stared at her for a few seconds. He smiled playfully and asked, "Oh? Who did you hear this from?"

How could a newbie who had only been at work for two or three days hear so much? Yasmin was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "The young master told me this secret. We've become good friends. As I said before, I'm good with children.I brought up my relatives' children." Eric looked at her coldly and warned her with an expressionless face.

"He's not your relative's child. Don't pry into my private affairs. Don't you know how to be a nanny? Do I need to teach you how to do your job?" He said coldly.

Yasmin was stunned and immediately lowered her head apprehensively, looking obedient and aggrieved.

"I'm sorry, Mr.Ferguson. I've overstepped my bounds."

Eric glanced at her coldly, turned around, and left.

After getting in the car, Eric took out his phone and called Nathaniel.

The call was connected.

Before Eric opened his mouth, Nathaniel got to speak first.

"Second Uncle, did you take good care of Yasmin? You can't let her get bullied!

She's from a small city, so she's not very tactful. You gotta take care of her on my behalf!"

Eric frowned irritably.

"Do you know her background? Where is she from?"

"Of course, I know her.I like her! I will confess to her when I return from this business trip. Don't let it slip, and don't break us up!

Nathaniel continued chattering, so Eric was annoyed and hung up the phone.

Eric knew that he should not make this call. He rubbed his temples and returned to Ferguson Corporation.

When he got to his office, his assistant knocked on the door.

"Mr.Ferguson, someone wants to see you. It's..."

"No" Eric was in a bad mood.

The assistant coughed.

"It's the police."

Eric looked at him with deep eyes, and the assistant felt a creepy chill.

The assistant lowered his head and heard Eric's unwavering voice, "Lead them to the meeting room."

"Yes, sir."

Eric pursed his lips, sorted out his emotions, stood up, and walked out.

Before Eric reached the door, Mitchell hurried over.

Mitchell leaned over and whispered a few words to Eric, who looked at him with a solemn expression. Mitchell pursed his lips.

"The police are probably here because of this matter. They want to understand the situation better."

Eric lowered his eyes and went straight to the meeting room without a word.

Soon after, Eric led the police out of the room and asked someone to send them away.

Eric stood there. His eyes were dim as he stared blankly ahead.

Mitchell walked over.

"Mr.Ferguson..."

Eric glanced at him.

"It's a routine inquiry... Have you done a background check on Yasmin?"

Mitchell was stunned. He immediately lowered his head in shame.

"No, I'm sorry."

"you should at least have some simple information on her, right? Go to HR and ask them to go through the procedure." Mitchell pursed his lips.

"No, this is my negligence.I asked her before, but she said that she lost her ID card and wanted me to pay her salary in cash."

Eric looked at him coldly as a warning.

Mitchell lowered his head and felt a little apprehensive.

"Mir.Ferguson, is there a problem with her? I thought she was Young Master Nathaniel's girlfriend, so I didn't doa detailed background check on her..."

Mitchell felt more anxious the more he spoke.

How could he allow a complete stranger of unknown origin to take care of Chance? Mitchell suddenly panicked.

Eric pursed his lips. His face was grim.

"will you apologize if something really goes wrong?"

Mitchell was terrified and quickly said, "I'll get someone to investigate and suspend her immediately."

"No need. The investigation is necessary, but suspending her will just make her more vigilant.Let her stay for the time being.I want to know where she came from.I'm guessing that Nathaniel doesn't know either..."

After Eric finished speaking and went straight to his office.

Mitchell's throat moved. His forehead was filled with sweat. He immediately called the driver who was assigned to Chance.

"Hey, keep a close eye on the young master lately. You must stay close and take good care of him!"

If Mitchell sent bodyguards hastily, it might arouse Yasmin's vigilance.

Thus, he could not do anything.

Everything had to be the same as before.

Before the investigation of Tina's death was made clear, the police had already detained her husband, Zach Gilbert.

That was because Zach's and Kirsi's affair was suddenly exposed by the media.

#KirsiTheHomewrecker #KirsiPregnant

#LegalWifeFound DeadKirsi Provoked HerMany Times These hashtags suddenly became trending topics.

In an instant, everyone knew about Kirsi's affair.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss Chapter 2067 Holding Back Something Big

Zach could rot cover up this matter no matter how much money he put into it.

Countless videos and photos were leaked.

Everyone unscrupulously condemned the cheating couple.

Zach's assets were frozen.

Someone even leaked information proving that Zach's property had been transferred to Kirsi's name.

Nicole ard Clayton were eating in the restaurant.

Enter title...

Nicole was a little wary of p aces with few people perhaps because of the strange and creepy feeling from the last incidentShe p anned to move back to the Stanton Mansion in the next few days.

Cayton had been persuading her not to be sc impulsive.

Nicole glanced at the news on her phone, looked up at the man who was cutting steak for her, and smiled.

"You didn't do this, right?' Clayton raised his eyebrows.

"I did it."

He admitted it so quickly that Nicole was caught off guard.

"Why? Why would you pay attention to such a menial thing?* Clayton smiled.

"Tina always wanted to sell her property to you, and I knew you put a lot of energy into this matter, but the transfer was delayed just because the document wasn't notarized.It should be effective since Tina signed it herseif. Now, the biggest obstac e is Zach Gilbert.As long as we can prove that Zach was unfaithful in his marriage and transferred his property, the public would add fuel the flames, making this trivial matter a major incident that must be dealt with fairly. This way, his assets would be frozen by the relevant departments, and that little actress would also be pressured to respond. Anyway, it's more beneficial to you if their situation was more chaotic.'

Nicole stared at him blankly and was somewhat shocked by Clayton's actions. She was still wallowing in Tina's sudden death, but Clayton was one step ahead of her and had already thought of a way to secure the property. Nicole was negligent.^ Nicole had waited for the police to get to the bottom of Tina's death before dealing with the property issue, Zach would have already transferred out the property.

Clayton pursed his lips BGrAKKML looked at Nicole with an enigmatic smile on his gentle face.

"Aren't I clever?'

Nicole nodded in a daze.

Clayton's eyes flickered.

"Do you wanna learn some tricks? If we go back to the mansion, Dad will reprimand me for using such despicable methods."

His expression was somewhat innocent.

Nicole blinked.

"He won't! Doesn't he like you the most?"

Clayton was slightly aggrieved.

"Only because of you."

Nicole was speechiess.It was already dark by the time the two of them finished ther meal.

Nico e got in the car.

Clayton also followed suit with a smile on his face.

Just as Clayton was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang. His face darkened slightly when he took a lock at his phone.

Nicole asked, "What's wrong?"

Clayton frowned slightly.

"I asked someone to monitor Angie's movements. They said she's been very compliant and quiet lately. She even ignored Snakehead s provocation."

Nicole blinked.

"Is she scared? Or is she just holding back for something big?"

Clayton glanced at her and smiled.

"Don't think too highly of her.If she has brains, she won't fall in love with Eric."

Nicole was puzzled.

Clayton put away his mobile phone and motioned for the driver to drive. He picked up the plum juice on the side and handed it over to Nicole.

"Caleb's and Tyler's forces were mostly obliterated, but some insignificant troublemakers managed to escape. This was why I kept Angie alive.I intended for her to be a puppet to resolve those troubles, but she shouldn't be this quiet."

Nicole frowned.

She initially thought that Clayton would hand Angie over to Interpol.It looked like her thinking was too naive.

Nicole was a little lost.

If this was something related to business, she might be able to come up with some ideas.

However, Nicole was brought up in a proper and conservative environment under Grant's watch, which was much stricter than Floyd's.

Thus, Nicole could not understand such shady business.

She blinked.

"Maybe she's afraid of you?"

After all, Clayton shewed no mercy when they were in Erethea.

The corners of Clayton's mouth twitched. He obviously did not care about that statement.

The next day, Nicole did not go to the office because she had to attend Levi's parent-teacher meeting.

Grant and Aida could not find time to attend, so Grant asked Nicole to go in their stead.

Nicole was obliged to go. She really wanted to experience this fee ing and took the opportunity to scout the environment for Chatty.

However, Clayton disagreed with Nicole bringing Chatty with her; reason being Chatty would be scared at school.

Scared? Nicole did not notice that Chatty disliked going to school.

On the contrary, Chatty was elated whenever she saw many children of her age group.

Early that morning, Clayton took Chatty to the office, saying that he wanted to cultivate Chatty's management ability.

Thus, Nicole could only go to Levi's school by herself.

Nicole dressed up properly since this was her first time participating in Levi's parent-teacher conference. She could not embarrass Aida and GrantShe deliberately went ahead of schedule and greeted the teacher beforehand. When Nicole saw that almost all parents had arrived, she felt that she was not early enough.

Nicole arrived five minutes ahead of schedule, but these parents were earlier than her! However, one parent was absent.

This was an elite school, so the school had informed all parents in advance, and they would wait until all parents were present before they began.

After all, these parents were not easy to mess with.

Everyone sat at a large round table, chit-chatting.

Nicole was not that interested, sc she walked out. She walked around and came to Levi's classroom.

At that time, Levi was speaking to another person.

Nicole happily ran in, hugged Levi from behind, and spun Levi around.

She covered his eyes and said, "Guess..."

Before she finished speaking, Levi helplessly replied, 'Auntie Nicole.* "How do you know?'

His fair and tender face was a litt e red as he touched his face.

"I remember your scent. Daddy said that your perfume is specially made for you and that no one will have the same scent.'Nicole clicked her tongue and pinched his little face.

"You're so smart! I'll reward you with a kiss!*

Nicole did not give Levi a chance to refuse and kissed his tender and fair cheek.

Levi was really small, so he did not have the strength to fight back.

Otherwise, he would have run far away from Nicole.

Levi pouted and looked at her.

"Auntie, I'll tell Daddy if you don't attend the parent- teaching meeting!" "How dare you snitch on me!"

Nicole thought in exasperation, 'This little Leaf is becoming more and more like Grant!'

As they were talking, a kid appeared next to Nicole.

The kid tugged at Nicole's c othes and coked up at hercautiously. His clear eyes were very bright.

Nicole paused and realized that it was Chance Ferguson. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled at the boy.

"Hello, we meet again!*

Chance redded and smiled silently with a look of anticipation on his face. He seemed to expect Nicole to hug, pinch, and kiss him just like she did to Levi.

However, nothing happened after he waited for a long time.

The pretty woman just said hello and continued to bow her head to tidy up Levi's clothes. The light in Chance's eyes slowly dimmed.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss Chapter 2068

Nicole saw that it was almost time, so she took Levi's little hand and said, "Let's go.I heard that there's a parent-child activity later. What sports did you sign up for? Running? I didn't wear sneakers today though..." Levi helplessly followed Nicole outside and replied, "I signed up for Go!"

After Nicole heard this, she paused for a while before she said, "Great..."

Levi raised his head in surprise.

Nicole frankly added, "I don't know how to play Go."

Enter title...

Levi was speechless. They went to the appointed room and saw that the two empty seats on the opposite side of the table were already filled.

Nicole frowned. It turned out to be Eric Ferguson.

To Nicole's surprise, the other seat was occupied by Cheryl Lichman.It looked like Eric still had some feelings for his son after all.

Nicole glanced at them casually, walked over, and sat down.

The teacher hurriedly greeted her.

"Ms.Stanton, please take a seat."

It seemed that she was the last to arrive.

Nicole smiled apologetically and ignored the two gazes that fell on her. She tried to concentrate on the teacher's words.

After about half an hour, the parent-child activity finally began.

Nicole took Levi out for a breather.

Levi held Nicole's hand and led her to the swing in the garden. It was a very beautiful place.

The area was shaded by tall bushes that were interspersed with many bright and fragrant flowers. It looked like a secret garden that had been deliberately decorated. "Auntie, are you scared of that uncle who sat across from you?" Nicole was taken aback.

"Nonsense! I'm not scared of him!"

"But you didn't dare to look at him!"

"I just didn't want to look at him."

Nicole paused and felt a little depressed. If she had known this earlier, she would

not have come.

The two of them were talking when they heard voices from outside.

"Yasmin, since Mr.Ferguson and I are already here, we'll participate in this event as Chance's parents. You're a nanny, so I think that it's inappropriate for you to stay here any longer. You may leave." It was Cheryl's voice.

Nicole blinked frowned.

Sure enough, Gerard's younger sister, Cheryl, was interested in Eric. That was too obvious.

Yasmin did not refute her sharply and said to Eric, "Mr.Ferguson, Ihave no other intentions. I'm here as the young master's friend. He invited me to come today.If my existence disturbs your date, I can leave.But this kind of parent-child activity is of little significance to the young master, and I didn't expect Ms. Lichman to

come uninvited. No matter what, I hope that you won't use a child as a tool for you to achieve certain goals."

"What do you mean by that?! Don't forget that you're just a nanny!"

Judging by Cheryl's voice, Nicole guessed that Cheryl was furious. Yasmin wanted to say something, but Eric interrupted, sounding upset.

"That's enough, Ms.Lichman.I didn't invite you. Who asked you to come?"

Cheryl sounded a little aggrieved.

"I heard my brother say that you're always busy, so you don't pay much attention to Chance.I was just afraid that Chance would be sad if no one came today, so I came here by myself." Eric was already unhappy.

When he heard this, his face turned gloomier.

When did Gerard care so much about his personal affairs and gossip about him? Eric's face was cold.

Just as he was about to drive Cheryl away, Yasmin said, "Mr.Ferguson, since

Ms.Lichman has good intentions, I have nothing to say.I was also worried that the young master would be bullied. But seeing how eager Ms.Lichman is, she must have a way with children. I'll get the young master ready so that you can participate in the activity with him."

Eric frowned and looked over with gloomy eyes, but Yasmin turned around and left as if she did not care about anything.

Cheryl smiled and said, "At least this nanny knows her place."

She was surprised that she blurted out her thoughts.

Eric glanced at her indifferently, turned around, and left without saying anything.

Cheryl had never been neglected like this before. Thus, she was a little resentful.

However, she put up with it when she thought of Eric's status. She quickly chased after him.

At the gym, the teacher was dividing the students into groups.

Eric sat alone in the rest area, expressionlessly reading his emails through his phone.

Eric had such a strong and intimidating presence that no one dared to approach him.

Some women peeked at him secretly and could not help but take another look at him. Cheryl pushed open the door, walked over, stood beside Eric, and smiled.

"Mr.Ferguson, my brother mentions you quite often." Eric was silent.

"My brother admires you a lot. He told me to be more attentive when he found out that I was coming over to visit Chance."

Eric raised his eyes and glanced at her with an expressionless face.

"Really?"

He felt that Gerard was very nosy.

Gerard was crossing the line. It looked like Eric was usually too nice to Gerard.

Cheryl nodded with a smile.

"Actually, I've always liked children, especially kids like Chance. They're very cute."

Eric frowned, looked at her frankly, and said coldly, "Do you like children? Or do you like being a stepmother?"

In an instant, Chery] lost her composure.

Eric's eyes were as deep as the sea. He could see through this woman's thoughts because it was too obvious, but he was not bothered to expose it. However, he would expose her mercilessly if she overstepped her bounds.

Cheryl's face turned red from embarrassment. She thought that she was different from the other women who were chasing Eric. They only had social status but had no brains.

Cheryl was different. She was educated and capable, so she could assist Eric in the future. She would be a valuable asset to Eric.

When Eric said those direct and harsh words with such disdain as if he did not take her seriously, Cheryl's self-esteem suffered a blow. Cheryl could barely hold back her emotions.

Seeing Eric's indifferent attitude, Cheryl took a deep breath and said,

"Mr.Ferguson, I admit that I have a crush on you, but please don't treat me so indifferently."

Eric glanced at her mockingly.

"why? Is what I said hurtful? Or is it because you can't accept it? But isn't it true? There are children of Chance's age everywhere, even more so in an orphanage. If you really cared for children, shouldn't you g to those places to show your compassion? My son doesn't need pity from others."

Eric was heartless, but also extremely pragmatic. He might have been colder toward another woman.

Eric would not have shown his disdain if this woman had admitted her selfish

desires outright. He could tell that Cheryl could not let go of her pride, yet she wanted others to think highly of her.

Eric hated women like her the most.

chapter-2069

Cheryl's face was as pale as paper. Her self-esteem was attacked. She did not expect Eric, who looked like a gentleman, to say such heartless words.

Cheryl was so embarrassed that she wanted to burrow into the ground. She was

proud and pampered since childhood.

Thus, when the man she liked insulted her like that, she found it hard to accept.

After a long time, the teacher finally set up the activity and called everyone to gather around.

Only then did Eric look up at Cheryl nonchalantly.

Enter title...

"you're not leaving yet?" His voice was indifferent.

Cheryl took a deep breath. She knew that if she left now, she would lose any chance she had with Eric.

If so, what was the difference between her and the other women he looked down on? Cheryl would not flee in shame. She had to take down Eric. Thinking of this, Cheryl smiled.

"Mr.Ferguson, you're right. Because of you, I won't mind being a stepmother to

Chance.I accept this fact."

Eric frowned and glanced at her.

Cheryl took a deep breath.

"I know you don't get along with Ms. Ferguson. Since she gave me the opportunity to approach you, I won't refuse. But I won't side with her because

I've always supported you from the beginning." Cheryl felt relieved after stating

her intentions clearly. She immediately ran over when she heard the teacher's call.

Eric's handsome face was stern and indifferent as he frowned. It was fine if she did not mention Ingrid.

Once she did, Eric had an even worse impression of Cheryl.

No one in Levi's class had the same hobby as Levi.

The game, Go, was an activity that Levi's teacher specially set up for him.

Levi did not have an opponent, so Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and casually played Go with her nephew.

Levi corrected Nicole's placement with disdain.

This was equivalent to playing against himself.

The two of them stayed quietly in a compartment inside the gym.

The door was not closed, and the atmosphere in the room was in stark contrast with the noise outside.

Outside, Chance put on his gear and searched for Eric everywhere in the venue.

However, a graceful figure blocked his view. Cheryl stood in front of Chance with a smile.

"Chance, why don't I play with you?"

Chance blinked wanted to refuse.

He thought, 'Daddy is here, so why didn't he join me?'

Chance had been looking forward to this parent-child activity for a very long time.

Finally, Chance saw Eric and waved desperately.

However, Chance could not make a sound to attract Eric's attention, so Eric walked straight out with his phone.

Eric was oblivious with what happened in the gym.

Chance stood there, looking lost and staring blankly in the direction where his dad left. He looked very aggrieved.

The teacher started to make arrangements and went to Chance.

"Chance, you can start to rock climb.Is this your parents?"

Cheryl replied quickly, "Yes."

"Okay.Chance will climb to the top of the wall in a while. To strengthen the trust between you and Chance, Chance will jump down from above, and you just

need to catch him. He will wear protective gear, and we'll get a teacher to help him put it on soon."

Cheryl heard it and thought it was very simple. She looked at the climbing wall, which was not too high.

Moreover, Chance would wear protective gear.

Cheryl's eyes flashed, and she smiled gently.

"It's okay.I'll help him wear it. I've learned rock climbing before."

"Really? That's great!"

The teacher handed the gear to Cheryl and went to the next parent. Cheryl looked down at Chance and smiled.

"I also like rock climbing. We have a lot in common! Let me help you put it on. I'll definitely catch you later."

She began to help Chance without waiting for his assent.

Chance's struggle in the beginning was useless. He could only watch as Cheryl

happily tied a rope to his body. He did not give up hope and looked at the door, but finally lowered his head in disappointment.

The teacher started to urge him.

Thus, Chance had no choice but to walk to the climbing wall while shaking his little head.

Not many people signed up for this activity, but many parents came to watch with great interest.

Seeing that there were more people, Cheryl valued this event even more.

Chance waited until the teacher blew the whistle and concentrated on climbing up the wall.

The climbing holds on the wall were suitable for children of his age.

The difficulty increased with height.

Chance moved relatively quickly at the beginning.

However, it got harder as he climbed up.

Chance was almost at the height he usually stopped at.He glanced down subconsciously.

Cheryl continued to encourage him from below.

"Climb a little higher, Chance! You can do it! You're Eric Ferguson's son! This height isn't too high, you can still go a little higher!” Chance hesitated and continued to climb up cautiously

chapter-2070

Cheryl's first reaction when she saw Eric was to shirk any responsibility. The

teacher looked up at Cheryl, hesitated for a while, and said, "Mr.Ferguson, you Join Telegram Group For Fast Update And Novel Query provided Chance's safety harness, and it was never faulty. When Ms.Lichman put it on for Chance, I reminded her to be careful..."

Eric's face darkened.

Although he did not witness the accident, he immediately understood what caused the accident after listening to their explanation.

Eric glanced at Cheryl coldly.He was no longer polite as he said frankly, "You can explain it to my lawyer and the police later."

Enter title...

He implied that he would not brush off this matter easily.

Cheryl instantly looked embarrassed.

The teacher said, "The doctor will be here soon."

In the next second, another person hurried in.

"Chance..."

Yasmin ran in anxiously and knelt beside Chance with worry in her eyes. She carefully touched Chance's head.

It looked gory because of the pool of blood under his head.

Chance pulled her sleeve tightly, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he could not make a sound. His eyes were full of tears. He was extremely frightened when he looked at Yasmin. However, in the eyes of outsiders, they thought Chance's tearful appearance showed his dependence on Yasmin.

Eric looked at them with a complex gaze.

Within five minutes, the doctor came running in.

Soon after, the ambulance arrived.

The paramedics carefully carried Chance away on a stretcher.

When Yasmin stood up, tears were already streaming down her face.

Yasmin glared at Cheryl angrily.

"Ms.Lichman, didn't you say that you'd take good care of the young master? Did you want to get rid of him because you see him as an eyesore? That way, you won't need to be a stepmother to Chance when you marry into the Ferguson family."

Cheryl's face turned pale. She opened her mouth to refute, but Eric's cold and indifferent gaze was like a slap in the face.

Even Yasmin, the nanny, saw through Cheryl's thoughts and dared to accuse her unscrupulously.

How could Eric not have thought about it? Eric probably already thought about

Cheryl's motives when he mentioned that he would call his lawyer DFq&(nMI the police.

Yasmin looked at the entrance with a heartbroken expression, took a step forward, and grabbed Cheryl's clothes fiercely: "You vicious woman! How dare you attack a child?! Mr.Ferguson, will you still turn a blind eye to how she treats your son?"

Cheryl staggered back a couple steps and almost fell to the ground. She felt that her whole body was drained of energy, and she could barely stand up.

Cheryl looked up at Eric and saw the chill in his eyes. She had never seen that kind of coldness and sternness before.

Everyone could not help but chime in.

"That's right, Mr. Ferguson! We all witnessed it. Ms. Lichman urged Chance to climb higher even when he couldn't. She kept pushing him!"

"Sigh... Chance isn't her child, so she won't feel bad if anything happens to him."

"Yeah! All of us saw that she tied the safety harness to Chance just now. Maybe she tampered with it..."

Cheryl shook her head.

Her face was pale as she trembled in fear.

"It wasn't me...It wasn't me..."

However, the people present kept accusing her.

What a nightmare! With so many people as witnesses, how could she not be a

suspect? Eric called Mitchell and went to the hospital.

As soon as Eric left, the school tried to figure out how best to give Eric a proper explanation.

They checked the surveillance footage and asked some parents who witnessed the accident to stay back.

Nicole did not come out of the room to check on what was going on, so she did not know that such a big mishap occurred.

She only found out when the teacher apologetically told her that they had to suspend all activities.

Levi was immersed in his own world and did not hear the commotion outside.

When he heard that his friend Chance was injured, he stood up anxiously and wanted to visit Chance.

Nicole frowned slightly at Chance's sudden mishap. She also felt sorry for the child who had a speech disability.

"Auntie, please let me go.Chance is my good friend. He's so pitiful. He doesn't have a mommy and his daddy doesn't like him.I just want to see if he's okay..." Nicole hesitated for a few seconds and nodded in agreement.

Although she did not want to have anything to do with the Ferguson family, she could not stop the younger generation from becoming friends.

The two families could not avoid each other just because of Nicole's personal reasons.

After asking the school about the hospital Chance was sent to, Nicole and Chance set off.

Levi anxiously followed Nicole to the hospital.

In the car, Nicole repeatedly instructed Levi.

"Let's just take a look and come back. We can't stay in the hospital for too long." Levi nodded.

"Don't worry, Auntie. You won't be so unlucky to meet Chance's daddy."

He looked at her with clear eyes.

However, Nicole was stunned and blinked.

"What do you know?"

Levi pursed his lips and raised his chin slightly.

"Daddy told me to watch out for you when we're outside.I can't let others get close to you, especially the Ferguson family. I've asked Daddy, and he said that besides Chance, everyone else is off limits!" Nicole pursed her lips and could not help but take another look at Levi.

At such a young age, Levi already resembled Grant in terms of speech.

She could not help but feel a little envious because her eldest brother's son was so sensible, especially when she compared him to Chatty, who was spoiled by

Clayton.

That little girl even dared to smash a computer in the conference room.

Nicole enviously touched Levi's tender face and sighed.

"You're such a good boy, Little Leaf! I love you!"

"Auntie, can you promise me something?"

"What is it?"

Levi wrapped his little fingers around Nicole's pinky and lowered his head to discuss with her.

"I want to stay with Chance in the hospital."

Nicole smiled.

"No way!"

Levi was speechless.

Although Nicole was touched just now, she was still rational and did not let her emotions get in the way.

Luca, who was driving in front, also smirked when he heard this.

When they arrived at the hospital, Nicole called the hospital director, who happily informed her of Chance's location.

Nicole held Levi's hand, and they went into the elevator.

The elevator went up to the sixteenth floor.

There were fewer people on the VIP floor, with more doctors walking around than patients.

As soon as Nicole came out of the elevator, she saw Eric and Mitchell talking with their backs to her.

The light in the emergency room was dim, indicating that the rescue was over.

Did it mean that Levi was not seriously injured? Levi took Nicole's hand and wanted to go in to check it out.

However, Nicole did not want to be seen by Eric and Mitchell, so she pointed to the stairway beside her.

"I wait for you here. Come and look for me when you're done. You only have five minutes!"

Levi nodded and ran away hastily. No one noticed such a small child.

Nicole entered the stairway at the corner.

Unexpectedly, she could hear the conversation between Eric and Mitchell clearly from where she was standing.

Mitchell seemed to be talking on the phone.

After he hung up the phone, he looked serious as he spoke to Eric.

"Mr.Lichman was in Danburg for a meeting. He heard what happened, so he's rushing over now. He asks that you be merciful toward Cheryl."
