Ch. 601..610

At the same time, the surroundings quieted down.

Everyone's faces had different degrees of thought and changes.

Nicole did not avoid the question. Her expression was like she was in a press conference, focused but dignified.

“My marriage with Mr. Ferguson was quite sensational back then, but that  wasn't  my intention. There's no pride in showing off the ugliest side of a marriage, but... We've discussed it and decided to be friends or business partners. That isn't something to regret.”

No one noticed that when Nicole answered the question, Eric had tensed with his fists on his knees, clenched tightly and bulging with veins.

Her simple and casual words made her position clear.

No one noticed that next to her, the man's arrogant and haughty look had suddenly collapsed. His eyes lowered as he gazed at her with a sorrowful look, his expression tense and ugly.

Every time he heard her say such things, he felt as if his heart was suddenly gouged out, making it hurt when he breathed.

She had no regrets. What about him?

He was the only one who was willing to work hard to save this failed marriage. He was exhausted, but he did not dare to give up.

Eric was afraid that once he let go, Nicole would go further away and completely disappear from his life.

Yuliana saw this and felt like this was a good opportunity to help Eric.

She had always been beautiful, and it was because of this beauty that she chose a director among a  group of men. Unexpectedly, she was unable to control the man's philandering  and  the media finally exposed it. She was forced to divorce him to save her reputation.

Yuliana cleared her throat and attracted everyone's attention. “Although Ms. Stanton's identity is different from ours, you're still a little younger.

Don't lovers always start off as friends or companions? Although you're divorced now, you've reverted to your original identity. Is there a guarantee that you'll never get back together?

There's an old saying that it takes ten years of buildup to sail on the same boat, but a hundred years to sleep on the same bed. It wasn't easy that you two went through so many difficulties to come together. It's a shame to get divorced just because of a few unhappy moments!”

Everyone's faces were wonderfully diverse. They all looked at her in shock and amazement.

Only Eric's expression was completely calm, but his slightly raised eyebrows indicated that he was very satisfied with Yuliana's words.

It seemed like there was still hope for this woman.

Charlotte glanced at her and lowered her head without making a sound.

However, Sadie could not help but laugh. “Then, if your ex-husband came to you and asked for a remarriage, would you agree without a second thought?”

If she said something on camera and then went back on her word, it would be the same as slapping her face!

Yuliana used those words to persuade others. How could she backtrack when it was her turn?

Her face turned purple and somewhat unpleasant. She regretted that she had gone too far with her words.

The director who cheated on her was just infatuated with her body and beauty. Later, when he got tired of playing with her, he abandoned her and even beat her up at home many times.

She divorced him and went back to her previous financial backer. She was as happy as could be now.

Why would she want to get back together with that greasy director again?

Yuliana pursed her lips, her smile a little stiff.

“You can't say that. We also want each other to be happy after the divorce. If he has a girlfriend,  I can't break them up, can I?”

Sadie sneered at the words and turned away without comment.

She was a few years younger than Yuliana and knew just how deep the waters in the entertainment industry were.

When she was at her best age, she found a rich businessman to marry, intending to live a peaceful life as a wealthy wife.

However, the rich businessman went bankrupt within a few years, so she had to return to her old job and continue to work in the entertainment circle. Fortunately, her fans were still loyal to her, and her status remained the same.

If she could hook up with a man of Eric's rank, then even the crumbs that leaked out of his fingers  would be enough for her to spend recklessly for the rest of her life.

At that thought, Sadie’s bright and charming eyes turned on Eric and she said, "In fact, I think that marriage will restrict a lot of freedom. If two people who are in love can be together, why should they care about their status? If they love each other, they would always be together even if they do not get married. If they don’t love each other, then even if they marry, they’ll just end up divorced. We will meet many people in our lives, so there’s no need to be fixated on one person. If you look around, you’ll find that there’s much more wonderful scenery!"

Yuliana slowly sucked in a breath of cold air and subconsciously glanced at Eric’s expression.

It was as she expected. ’Heh. His gaze was so sharp it was as if he wanted to hit someone. Fortunately, she stopped in time!’

Nicole felt that what Sadie said was very reasonable. She nodded heavily and encouraged her to continue.

Sadie smiled and could not help but grow confident upon seeing everyone agree with her.

"I have a different opinion from Yuliana. We have roles, resources, connections, and most importantly, we have money. Do rich women like us care about the success and failures of a marriage? If you meet that person, you can be together regard less of everything. If you don’t meet that person, you can just enjoy your own life!"

Nicole smiled and nodded. "I think Ms. Sadie’s words are very reasonable."

Even Livia kept nodding her head.

Yuliana smiled secretly. What were they feeling smug about?

Did they not see Eric’s cold and gloomy eyes?

Sadie was basically writing the words "I want to be your lover" in front of Eric’s eyes!

Livia digested the words for a while and looked at the marginalized Charlotte. "Ms. Charlotte, what do you think?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment and then became embarrassed. She was not as eloquent as the others, so she just slowly said a few insignificant words.

Then, Xander took the initiative to stand up excitedly. "To all the beautiful ladies, I hope you can be happy whether you’re married or divorced."

Nicole smiled, looking somewhat incredulous at Xander’s action.

To the side, Yuliana took a cup and clinked it with his.

’Thank you, Mr. Xander. If only we could meet a gentle, caring, and good-looking man like you, we will definitely be happy."

Sadie raised her brows. "I agree." Charlotte added, "I also agree."

Livia felt that Xander was a diligent, kind, and sincere man. However, he was always bullied by Eric and could not resist, so she felt some pity for him.

"I agree even more."

Xander’s face subconsciously reddened. Oh my, was he that popular?

Could it be that the ladies present liked him and not the rich and powerful Eric Ferguson?

Yuliana and Sadie were both significant people in the entertainment industry. If he could get together with one of them, with his money and contacts, would he still have to struggle and work hard?

No!

At that thought, he raised his eyes and looked at Yuliana. She seemed to be more interested in him. She was always shooting looks at him.

Xander did not dare to think about Nicole, but he had no problems with others!

He suddenly felt valuable here. His confidence skyrocketed!

Dominic watched from behind the monitor. He did not expect these actresses to be so open about the topic of their divorce. If this was broadcasted, it would definitely cause quite a stir!

The scene was going to end, but Sadie refused to give up and insisted on asking Eric, "Mr. Ferguson, everyone has expressed their opinions. What about you?"

A flash of harshness and disgust flashed in Eric’s eyes. Then, he looked at her coldly and said with an icy tone, "If a man is unfaithful, he deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces, but it’s really rare to see scum like you who still acts so righteous." That one sentence pushed the atmosphere that originally ended happily back to an awkward climax.

Sadie’s expression changed a few times, shocked with a hint of apprehension.

Yuliana could not help but smile, feeling a little smug.

If Eric was so easy to obtain, she would have gotten him a long time ago. Sadie would not even get the chance.

Fortunately, she changed her strategy wisely!

Nicole glanced at Eric and said faintly, "She asked you about your views of marriage, not your evaluation of her.

Eric glanced away, leaning his body sideways on a propped- up arm. "Our marriage didn’t fail. It was only suspended because of my fault. If you’re willing, I can prove that our marriage is the most perfect."

No one expected Eric to give such a sincere speech in front of everyone.

Nicole stood up. Her expression was extremely cold. She looked at Eric indifferently. "Those are big words. Be careful you don’t break your back carrying them."

Perfect, her *ss!

Her slender and beautiful figure had almost reached the door.

She suddenly heard Eric’s determined voice. "My back is very strong. It won’t break!"

Nicole’s back stiffened slightly. She cursed him in her heart and quickly walked away.

’Damn it. He’s sick in the head!’

The atmosphere of the room suddenly became stagnant, but so as not to embarrass the big boss Eric Ferguson, everyone lowered their heads and did their own things, pretending not to understand.

It was so hard to record a program.

According to the schedule arranged by Dominic, they would give Livia’s law firm their first business tomorrow.

Although they knew the content in advance, it was indeed an objective case.

Therefore, in the evening, the whole team was arranged to stay in a five-star hotel under Ferguson Corporation.

The reason why this hotel was chosen was that the sponsor requested it.

As the only sponsor, the generous Eric Ferguson would naturally not let his investment be spent in someone else’s hotel.

To ensure good reception, the hotel was cleared out in advance. The hotel manager and Mitchell discussed it beforehand. Eric would still stay in his exclusive presidential suite, while the others would stay in the VIP suite one floor down.

This standard of treatment for a reception had broken previous examples in the hotel’s history.

After everyone went in, in front of the cameras, everyone went to the front desk to get their room number to check in.

I n reality, once the cameras stopped rolling, there was a special service staff who immediately led everyone to the rooms that belonged to them.

Eric glanced at Nicole’s number and frowned. His eyes coldly swept a glance at the hotel manager.

The manager trembled in an instant and pulled Mitchell. " Mitchell, what do I do? Mr. Ferguson doesn’t look very satisfied!”

Mitchell paused and thought about it. "I remember that there’s a small suite opposite the presidential suite."

"Yes, but no one has stayed on that floor except Mr. Ferguson, so..."

Mitchell held his forehead helplessly and whispered the instructions. "Let Ms. Stanton stay in that small suite."

The manager was surprised for a moment before immediately doing as he was told, still terrified.

The layout of the small suite was similar to that of the VIP suite, so there was nothing wrong with the last-minute changes.

When the staff came to hand over the rooms, Nicole was invited up to the top floor again.

There were many hotels under Stanton Corporation’s name. She would be a fool if she did not know what this meant.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Eric standing at the door of the presidential suite, but he did not open the door to go in.

When he saw her, the light in his dark pupils flickered slightly as he walked over. He took the luggage from the bellboy for her and looked at her with a smile. "Let’s go."

Nicole did not move and stood there, her gaze clear and light. "There’s only one room up here, right?"

The detached and guarded tone made Eric’s smile sink slightly, but then he casually smiled as if nothing had happened.

”Yeah, it’s the presidential suite of this hotel. I wanted you to experience it and see if there’s any room for improvement.”

Nicole lowered her eyes slightly and walked over, raising her hand to the side. Her noble and lazy posture made Eric feel inexplicably happy.

The temperamental Nicole was really, really cute!

Eric immediately handed her the room card. The door opened with a beep...

Nicole went in and looked around, secretly sneering in her heart.

This hotel under Ferguson Corporation was regarded as a landmark hotel in the city. People would choose this hotel when hosting all kinds of events held by political and business circles, but he still wanted to improve it?

It would be great if Stanton Corporation could acquire it! Nicole stood there, shaking her head regretfully.

What a shame...

Eric frowned at Nicole’s reaction, slightly surprised. "Are you... Dissatisfied?"

He raised his hand and looked at his expensive watch, wondering if it was too late to go to a hotel in the neighboring city that specializes in receiving the country’s special guests.

Nicole paused slightly and stroked her hair. "It’s fine." Then, she took her belongings outside and went in.

Eric carefully observed her look and was secretly relieved when he saw that she did not reveal any trace of dissatisfaction again.

When he lived here in the past, he did not pay too much attention to it. Now, it seemed like it was just somewhat passable.

Nicole turned around and saw Eric still standing at the door.

Her cold expression instantly looked dissatisfied.

"Mr. Ferguson, are you planning to stay here and rest?"

Eric raised his brows. He was also tired after the long day and looked slightly exhausted. He leaned lazily and casually against the wall, subconsciously raising his head to look at her.

"Can I?"

Nicole snorted coldly, her gaze sullen and cold. "Sure."

He perked up for an instant, but before he could be happy, he heard her add clearly, "Shall I call those three actresses who want to sleep with you over to keep you company?"

The atmosphere suddenly went cold and sullen.

Eric’s expression was cold and ugly, and his eyes stared fiercely at her. She did not look like she was joking.

He really wanted to just swallow her up, but he could not bear to take the last step.

He could never win when it came to Nicole.

Eric could only gnash his teeth and swallow his words.

"Fine, you win!"

Then, he turned around  and left, slamming the door shut.

It represented the temper that he could not voice.

Nicole smiled  slowly. ’Heh, did he want to  fight  with me?’

She turned around and took her already prepared pajamas to the bathroom. She took a comfortable bath, very leisurely applied a mask, and then curled up on the sofa to look at her mailbox, dealing with urgent emails.

Meanwhile, the rest of the program team was busy with their own affairs.

Dominic was still discussing with the general director about tomorrow’s case when he heard someone knocking on the door.

He went over to open the door and saw Sadie, who had applied exquisite makeup. She appeared at his door with a lazy and sexy bathrobe tightly wrapped around her attractive body.

His heart instantly thumped as his eyes cooled.

He had been in the circle for so long, so many recommended themselves to share their pillows with him. However, he was not alluded by them and never got involved with the women in this circle.

Sadie smiled at him. Her charming posture softened slightly, giving her a somewhat innocent aura.

"Mr. Young, do you know which room Mr. Ferguson is in?"

She looked at him expectantly, waving her phone with a troubled look.

"He asked me to meet him, but I forgot to ask him what room he was in."

She was actually brazen enough to say such a stupid excuse?

Read Chapter 605 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Dominic’s expression gradually improved. She was looking for Eric.

Well, the biggest boss here now was Eric, so Eric was a fatal attraction to these divorced female celebrities, right?

Heh...

It seems like he had been overthinking!

Dominic smiled. "Shouldn’t you ask the front desk directly?"

Sadie’s face was a little stiff. It seemed like she had already asked but failed.

"I did, but they’re all tight-lipped and won’t tell me anything about Mr. Ferguson’s room, so I could only come to you.

"Mr. Young, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Stanton have no hope of getting back together. If a new couple emerges in our variety show, wouldn’t it become the hottest variety show of the year?

Sadie carefully looked at Dominic’s expression. Which producer would not want their program to flourish?

Sure enough, Dominic’s eyes brightened in an instant. His smile deepened, but he hesitated for three seconds before he spoke softly.

"Mr. Ferguson has a special presidential suite here. It’s on the top floor!"

Sadie immediately smiled joyfully. She thanked him and happily ran away.

Dominic closed the door.

Behind him, the director said, "Are you sure that’s a good idea? Mr. Ferguson will come after us if he finds out!" Dominic looked indifferent and did not care.

"If she manages to enter Eric’s room, I’ll rip my head off!"

What kind of person was Eric Ferguson? Since Sadie did not know, it was better to let her experience for herself.

Unexpectedly, less than five minutes later, the doorbell rang again.

Dominic and the director exchanged a glance.

Well, there was another person like Sadie who refused to give up.

This one should be the sexy Yuliana!

Dominic straightened his clothes and opened the door, but he froze upon seeing the person.

It was Charlotte!

He was a little surprised.

Like Sadie, Charlotte was dressed in a sexy nightdress. There was also a bottle of red wine as well as two wine glasses in her hands. Her purpose was rather obvious.

Dominic smiled calmly. "Do you need me for something, Ms. Charlotte?"

Charlotte immediately shook her head.

Dominic raised his hand. "Mr. Ferguson is in the presidential suite. Top floor!"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment before looking at him gratefully. "Thank you, Mr. Young."

Then, she got on the elevator with light footsteps.

Dominic closed the door and let out a snort.

The director was still focused on the script in front of him, fixing and revising it.

"None of them are easy to deal with. I guess Ms. Yuliana will be next."

According to logic, Yuliana should come as well.

However, she did not appear.

With her character, she was definitely the type to be unwilling to be left behind by others!

However, no matter how long Dominic waited, Yuliana did not come to inquire about Eric’s room.

That was because she was already sleeping soundly in her Yuliana only learned today how hard it was to row a boat. Her body felt even more tired than if she was carrying a huge bag. She forgot about everything as soon as she saw the bed!

Inside the presidential suite.

Nicole answered a few emails and handled several urgent matters before she received a video call from Yvette.

She answered it without a second thought.

"Lil N, you didn’t take me out with you!" Yvette grumbled and started to accuse her. "I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t asked K!"

Nicole rolled her eyes. "My third brother‘s words are only half true! I’m doing serious work here..."

She told Yvette about the show, and Yvette listened with relish. She never dragged her feet when it came to gossip.

The two of them were having a heated discussion about whose view of divorce made more sense when someone suddenly rang the doorbell.

Nicole thought that she had heard wrong, but after listening carefully, she heard the doorbell ring more urgently.

After thinking about it, she put down her iPad and went over to open the door.

”Mr. Ferguson, I wanted to come over personally to explain the misunderstanding of our difference of opinion..."

With amorous and charming eyes, Sadie came to offer herself up!

Read Chapter 606 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

As soon as Nicole opened the door, she saw a talking Sadie in a sexy black nightgown that showed off her bare shoulders.

Once the two ladies saw each other, they were both startled, especially Sadie, whose face turned pale. Even her delicate makeup could not hide her panic.

After all, Sadie was trying to seduce Nicole’s ex-husband, so she felt a guilty conscience as if she was a mistress caught by the legal wife.

Nicole regained her composure in an instant. She saw the way Sadie was dressed and knew what Sadie’s purpose was.

She sized the actress up and down with a cold gaze that made Sadie feel like burrowing into the ground.

"M-Ms. Stanton, I’m sorry... I didn’t know that you’re also here..."

Nicole pursed her lips. Her smile was faint as she opened the door widely.

"Eric Ferguson is not in this room. This is my room. Do you want to come in to take a look?"

Sadie shook her head repeatedly and stepped back.

She already felt so humiliated as if she was caught in flagrante delicto.

If the person in front of her were any other woman, Sadie would not be so scared and worried.

However, that person was Nicole Stanton, the heiress of Stanton Corporation. Sadie could tell that she should not

offend Nicole because even Dominic Young had a careful and ingratiating attitude when facing the big shot.

"No, no, no need... I’m not here to find Mr. Ferguson specifically. I was just worried that I’d make Mr. Ferguson upset during the recording of the show..."

Sadie explained incoherently. She was afraid that Nicole would not believe her.

At this moment, Sadie was scared out of her mind!

Nicole saw that Sadie was using so much effort to explain to her and could not help but frown. ’What’s the use of telling me these anyway? I’m not interested. Is it because she’s afraid that I’ll be jealous?’

At that thought, Nicole thoughtfully took out her phone. "I’ll contact Mr. Ferguson for you, so you can talk to him in person."

"Don’t!" Sadie immediately stopped Nicole. Her delicate face was drained of blood.

"I suddenly feel that... It’s the same if I tell him tomorrow. Ms. Stanton, I’m so sorry to have disturbed you. Have a good night!"

After that, Sadie scurried to the elevator without looking back, afraid that Nicole would come after her.

For the first time in her life, Sadie felt defeated.

Sadie was bright and dazzling in front of the camera with millions of fans, but in front of the high and mighty Nicole Stanton, Sadie felt like a prostitute that sold her body and soul.

She felt cheap and ridiculous.

Nicole stood there a little dumbfounded, then closed the door.

She did not take what just happened with Sad ie to heart.

However, before Nicole got to the sofa, the doorbell rang again.

’D id Sadie regret it and want me to contact Eric Ferguson now?’

Nicole walked over without haste and opened the door.

Charlotte wore a white nightgown and put on delicate light makeup. She looked innocent yet lustful and was certainly more appealing than Sadie.

Seeing her, Nicole was surprised for a moment but she quickly regained her composure.

"Mr. Ferguson..."

Charlotte did not look up and was pretending to be demure.

She clinked the wine glass with the bottle in her hand and carefully worded her question.

"This is my homemade. Would you like to try it?"

Charlotte was clearly insatiable, but she dared not go too far and tested the waters little by little to probe the man’s bottom line. She wanted to use gentle means to slowly disintegrate the man’s aloofness.

She also gave the man the opportunity to indulge in her sensuality. Otherwise, why would she wear such a sexy nightgown and drink with him?

Charlotte bit her lip and looked up carefully when she did not hear Eric Ferguson’s reply. The moment she saw Nicole, Charlotte was stunned, then her face became as white as her nightgown.

Read Chapter 607 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Charlotte said, "M-Ms. Stanton... You..."

Nicole immediately explained, "Eric Ferguson is not in this room. This is my room! If you don't believe me, you can come in and see!"

Charlotte lowered her gaze and collected her lost and nervous expression.

She struggled to put on a smile. "No... No need, l..."

Charlotte could not seem to think of any excuse for coming over to see a man while dressed like that.

Moreover, that man was also Nicole’s ex-husband!

Embarrassment and panic suddenly made Charlotte somewhat at a loss for words. Her fingers clasped the wine bottle tightly as she bit her lower lip. Her face was as red as an apple.

This subtle tension felt unbearable to Charlotte.

Nicole looked at Charlotte and thought that she should not be partial to Sadie, so she proposed thoughtfully.

"I’ll help you contact Mr. Ferguson so that you can talk to him in person!"

As an ex-wife, Nicole’s enthusiasm and generosity were truly admirable.

Before Nicole could take out her phone, Charlotte took a step back in shock. "No need, Ms. Stanton. I suddenly remembered that I haven’t memorized my lines for tomorrow yet, so I’ll get going. I won’t bother you any longer. Have a good night!"

After that, Charlotte turned to leave, but when she realized what she was holding, she turned back and handed it to Nicole.

”This is my homemade wine using my family’s recipe. You can try it..."

Before Nicole could thank her, Charlotte scurried away.

The way Charlotte ran was even more comical than Sadie earlier.

Nicole could not help but laugh when she looked at the wine bottle and two wine glasses in her hands.

It looked like even if Eric Ferguson was divorced, he was still  very attractive as droves of  women pounced  on him.

If Eric was not divorced, there would be even more, right?

Nicole’s eyes turned cold. Back when they were married, Nicole had no right to care about how many women were around Eric.

Not to mention now that they were divorced.

Nicole took the wine in and leisurely poured herself a glass.

She took a small sip. The rich fragrance filled her nose cavity while the mellow and complex flavors spread throughout her mouth at once. It had depth, and its wonderful aftertaste lingered on her tongue.

Nicole could not help but feel a little amazed. She drank a lot of good wine in her life, and this wine was certainly very unique and refreshing.

No wonder Charlotte dared to take this bottle of wine to hook up with Eric Ferguson. Charlotte also seemed so confident, as if she knew that Eric would definitely look at her differently because of this bottle of wine.

Nicole could not resist taking another sip.

A voice came through from the iPad on the sofa, "Are they gone? Those women are all here to look for Eric Ferguson? Tsk tsk... Are they blind? Why would they rush to offer themselves to a scumbag like him?"

Nicole froze for a moment. Only then did she remember that she did not hang up the video call with Yvette earlier.

So, Yvette saw and heard everything that happened just now?

How embarrassing!

Nicole unnaturally picked the iPad up. "Objectively speaking, Eric’s attraction to them is like a  wolf  seeing a fat sheep that’s about to die. They will still be tempted to take a bite even if they know it isn’t theirs."

Yvette was amused by this metaphor and laughed hysterically. When she saw Nicole’s flushed cheeks, she was a little surprised.

"You drank the wine from the second woman? Aren’t you afraid that she spiked it?"

That word abruptly made Nicole, who was immersed in the mellow wine, sober up.

Nicole was stunned and recalled for a moment before she took another sip.

"I don’t think she’ll spike the wine, but it does have a strong aftertaste!"

Nicole felt a little tipsy, but she was addicted to the wine and wanted to drink the rest of it.

At that thought, Nicole wanted to gulp down the rest of the wine in the bottle.

When Nicole poured out the wine into the glass, she already had double vision, but she still managed to pour it in accurately.

"Hey, Lil N! You’re already drunk after a few sips. How is it not spiked?!”

Yvette realized that something was awry and panicked. However, Nicole ignored  her and slowly  sipped  the  wine. It gave her a pleasant feeling.

Yvette cursed and picked up her phone. "You should be thankful that you’re born into the Stanton family. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have lived this long and would’ve been murdered a long time ago!”

Yvette found out Eric’s number and reluctantly called him.

Although Nicole wanted to draw a clear line with Eric, at this time, only Eric Ferguson could settle that group of divorced ladies who were hovering around him like hungry wolves.

Read Chapter 608 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Eric received Yvette’s phone call and rushed out the door, ignoring the fact that he had just finished showering and that water was still dripping from his head.

He pressed the doorbell to Nicole’s room, but there was no response.

He knocked on the door, but there was also no response.

Yvette’s voice came through the phone, "Are you stupid?! If she could open the door, would I have called you? Go and get a spare card!"

Eric was silent for a second. He decided to put up with Yvette Quimbey’s bad temper just this once for the sake of her concern for Nicole.

In the next second, Eric took out the room card from his pocket.

"Beep-"

Nicole’s room door was opened.

Eric was so fast that even Yvette was a little surprised.

Yvette thought that Eric would go downstairs in a panic to get the room card from the reception, or at least call his men impatiently to send up the card. However, those scenarios did not occur.

How strange!

When Eric pushed the door open, he smelled the fragrance of wine in the living room.

He frowned and saw the drunken Nicole lying on the sofa. He strode over in a few steps and picked her up by the shoulder. His voice was trembling with panic. "Nicole..."

Yvette saw Eric from Nicole’s iPad, so she hung up her phone and instructed him from the video call.

"It’s all your fault! Nicole drank the wine from that woman that was supposedly meant for you. It must be spiked because she passed out after just one bottle. She used to be able to drink a dozen bottles without getting drunk!"

Although Yvette was clearly exaggerating, she meant to tell Eric that Nicole had a high alcohol tolerance, so it was impossible for Nicole to get drunk after only one bottle of wine.

Eric’s eyes were extremely gloomy, cold, and sullen.

"Spiked?"

His dark eyes were cold and heavy as he looked at the fallen bottle of wine on the side.

Yvette even spoke out against injustice on behalf of Nicole.

"It’s quite entertaining tonight seeing several almost naked women trying to find you. Nikki personally received them. This wine was originally for you, so do you think it won’t be spiked?"

Without much thought, no one would let go of this good opportunity to drug Eric.

Eric’s breathing suddenly became heavy. The coldness in his eyes was overwhelming.

The hostility in his dark eyes carried a ruthless killing intent.

Yvette instructed him. "Hurry up and make her vomit it out, then call a doctor to check on her before you clean up those women. Hey, but don’t you dare take advantage of her! I’ll be here watching you-"

Before Yvette could finish her words of warning, Eric’s cold, sunken eyes swept to the iPad and decisively

reached out to hang up on her.

Yvette was dumbfounded when she saw her blacked-out screen. ’Damn it!’

Eric returned to his senses and sat next to Nicole. He put one arm around her shoulders and the other arm under her knees, picking her up with ease.

Nicole’s breath was mellow with the smell of wine. She was sleeping in a daze and subconsciously found a comfortable position in Eric’s arms, softly nuzzling her

head into the nook of his neck as she continued to sleep.

Eric’s body stiffened as he glanced at the woman that felt so soft in his arms with a dark gaze.

Eric never held Nicole like this before. He missed out on too much while they were married, and after the divorce, he was not qualified to touch her.

Nicole was always cold and unapproachable to everyone, especially to him, but it turned out that she was so soft, small, and adorable that he did not even dare to hold her too tightly.

Her breath grazed his neck, which made his Adam’s apple roll up and down as he felt a certain impulse.

Eric felt that because he could hold back from taking advantage  of Nicole  in this situation, it must be true love.

He took a deep breath and walked to the bathroom in a few steps. He put her gently on his lap and tried hard to wake her up.

"Nicole... Wake up! Quick, throw up..."

Nicole let out a discontented grunt and turned her head to continue sleeping.

Eric pursed his lips and patiently coaxed her in a gentle voice while he patted her scarlet face.

“Wake up! You can go back to sleep after you throw up...” He really had a lot of patience for Nicole.

However, Nicole, who was disturbed from sleeping,

swatted the hand that touched her face with dissatisfaction. ’WTH, it’s so rough!’

Read Chapter 609 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Eric gently held Nicole’s fidgeting hands and kept calling out to her.

"Nicole... Honey... Baby..."

Nicole frowned in annoyance at the annoying fly that was buzzing around her head. That noise was simply killing her.

’I just wanna sleep! Even Tigger knows not to disturb my sleep. Why is this stupid fly hovering around me shamelessly?’

Nicole had a bad temper when she was woken up involuntarily.

She could not stand it any longer and used all her might to lift her heavy eyelids.

In a daze, Nicole saw the handsome and perfect features that looked somewhat familiar.

’Who is it? Eric Ferguson? Or Xander?’

Nicole’s mind was muddled as she listened to the man’s intermittent voice like he was chanting some sort of spell. She was extremely annoyed.

Suddenly, she raised her hand and scratched him, signaling

him to shut up.

Sure enough, the man was obediently shut up after he was scratched.

Eric’s face sank as his eyes were locked on her. ’She has such a bad temper when she’s drunk? She even got violent?

He had no extra hands to touch the scratch wound on his neck and could only feel the heat and pain from it.

’Forget it... Just bear with it!’

Seeing that Nicole had no intention to vomit and that she had no fever or other symptoms, Eric carried her again and put her on the bed.

Eric dared not take the situation lightly and got Mitchell to come over to take the wine bottle and wine glass to test for drugs immediately.

Without seeing the results, he could not rest assured.

The hotel’s doctor also came over to do a detailed checkup on Nicole.

The doctor did not dare to be careless and examined Nicole seriously before he told Eric.

"Ms. Stanton drank too much. There’s nothing unusual, so she should be fine after drinking some honey water."

Eric frowned. "Alright, you can leave now."

The doctor left, Eric sat there quietly, looking at the sleeping Nicole on the bed.

Nicole was oblivious to all the commotion around her and was probably still dreaming.

Eric helplessly got a warm towel to wipe her face while he muttered, "How can you drink when you have such low alcohol tolerance? You even dare to drink wine from just anyone? I’ll have to settle the score with that person tomorrow!"

Only God knew how panicked Eric was after he heard that Nicole drank the drugged wine.

Nicole lazily rolled over. Her nightgown was out of place, revealing her fair and smooth shoulder.

Eric froze for a moment. His Adam’s apple moved as he gulped. His eyes were deep and dark.

The night sky was dark and heavy as the cold wind rustled outside.

The warm and soft woman in front of him made it hard for him to hold back.

He leaned over and said in a low and deep voice, "Nicole... Baby, I want to kiss you..."

’After taking care of her all night, it’ll be a waste if I don’t take advantage of her, right?’ Eric thought.

He was the President of Ferguson Corporation, yet he was still so careful and found it hard to control himself when he wanted to kiss her.

There was only one wall lamp that was lit in the dim room, which made it seem warm and quiet.

Nicole was unaware that Eric’s lips were close to hers.

When Eric was about to press his lips onto hers, Nicole suddenly opened her eyes.

Eric jolted up in shock. He was scared to death because he felt guilty.

However, Nicole did not move and only blinked her eyes. She tried hard to focus on the face in front of her, but she ultimately failed.

"Water..." She commanded directly. Eric got up. ’Haha, what a princess...’

He picked up the cup of honey water that was long prepared and took a spoon to feed her.

However, Nicole was dissatisfied after Eric fed her two spoonfuls, so she simply gulped the cup of honey water on her own.

After drinking, she continued to lie down to sleep. Eric asked, ”You’re sleeping so soon?”

Nicole muttered, ”Mm... I wanna sleep...” Eric froze and looked at her in amusement. "Do you know who I am?”

Nicole took these few seconds of wakefulness to briefly analyze the situation. ’That son of a b*tch Eric Ferguson would not be so gentle to me. Only Xander would work so hard to serve me for the money! I really didn’t pick the wrong person.’

”Xander, I will make you famous!”

Nicole touched the face that looked very similar to Eric’s, which was near perfection.

After frivolously caressing the man’s face, she patted his cheek a few times.

’Not bad... This face will be able to sell for a good price! I won’t go back on my word. Xander’s just an actor anyway, so I can make him famous!’

Nicole did not notice that her words caused an adverse reaction in the man next to her. His eyes instantly turned gloomy. His face was sunken, and he was surrounded by a dense chill.

Eric stared at her coldly and reached out to pinch her chin, trying to make her face him.

His voice was extremely gentle, like the devil’s coaxing words.

"Nicole, take another look. Who am I?"

His voice was frosty.

Even if he was willing to be humble for her, it did not mean that he would tolerate another man in her life.

Eric felt guilty, so he compromised, made concessions, supported her, coaxed her, and let her do whatever she wanted.

However, the cold ruthlessness ingrained in his bones from years of being in the harsh business environment still prevailed.

His love for her was selfish. He absolutely would not stand by and watch her be with someone else.

If Nicole would not change her mind, then he would just lock her up.

Even if he could not get her heart, he would at least have her body. That was good enough.

Eric was a cold and unfeeling person at heart. He was about to go berserk when Xander’s name came out of Nicole’s mouth.

If gentle means did not work on her, then he would not mind using his own strong-arm tactics to keep her by his side.

He stared intently at Nicole, attempting to find a trace of remorse on her face.

However, that beautiful, bright, and perfect face had a faint blush and looked lazy and comfortable as she squinted her eyes, wanting to sleep.

As Eric forcefully squeezed Nicole’s chin, she frowned in dissatisfaction and tried to break away to no avail.

Eric needed an answer tonight.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at her with sunken eyes. His voice was deep and hoarse.

”Tell me, then I’ll let you sleep."

Nicole was already very displeased because someone disturbed her sleep, which was the most important and sacred moment to her.

She was upset!

Nicole had no choice but to lift her heavy eyelids again. She saw an overlapping image of the person in front of her. His features were blurred, and she could not see him clearly.

She struggled to think. ’If it’s not Xander, who else could it be? No, Xander wouldn’t dare disturb my rest at this hour even if he had massive guts. It must be that son of a b*tch Eric Ferguson!’

Her eyes suddenly brightened for a moment and glimmered in the light. She stared at the man’s handsome face for a full three seconds before she lowered her voice and said confidently, "Bah, Eric F*ckerson!"

Eric, who was looking down on her, suddenly stiffened. His pupils instantly shrank. Even his face became extremely glum.

The night was still.

Under the dim light, the warm atmosphere was swept away. The window was not opened, but the room had no trace of warmth.

Nicole cursed Eric, turned over happily, and went back to sleep.

On the contrary, Eric, who was standing there, could no longer keep his heart calm.

His heart was racing. His blood was surging and flowing backward.

’Hah! Eric F*ckerson?! So, she recognized me, but she still didn’t want to miss this chance to insult me!’

Eric’s eyes turned dark and cold with an indescribable complexity in them as he tried very hard to suppress his rage.

He told himself, "She’s just drunk... Yes, she’s definitely drunk!"
