At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Eric’s footsteps were heavy, and his face was cold as he went over to open the door.

Mitchell, who was at the door, held the toxicology report of the wine they sent for testing. He handed it to Eric while he explained.

"President, the test results are out. Although there are no large doses of hazardous drugs in the wine, there is a slight hallucinogenic agent added to it. The alcohol content  is also very high at 51% ABV."

Mitchell was so nervous when he was at the lab urging the staff to work overtime.

If they could not get the results, no one would be able to be at ease.

When Mitchell found out that there were hallucinogens in the wine, he became alert and came over to report to Eric immediately.

Mitchell endured his exhaustion as he looked at Eric.

Eric took over the report and glanced at it. His face grew colder and gloomier as ruthlessness and darkness flashed in his eyes.

His tone was cold without a trace of temperature.

"Find out who has been here tonight, especially the one who delivered the wine."

That reckless person who dared to touch his taboo would end up badly.

Mitchell was shocked and immediately regained composure. "Understood. I’ll get it done immediately."

After that, Mitchell left and thoughtfully closed the door for Eric.

Eric wiped his sweat. He had not been this angry in a long time.

He went back to the bedroom and looked at the woman on the bed with a dark gaze. His eyes lingered on her face. He had been thinking of such a scene every day and night.

How great would it be if they could continue being like this? She used to be his, but he lost her.

Thinking of this, Eric’s heart felt a dense pain like it was entangled by thin threads.

Eric’s eyes darkened as he looked down on Nicole. He gently kissed her forehead and brushed away the stray hairs from her face. His lips curled up as he said in a low voice, "Goodnight, Mrs. Ferguson. I’ll wait for you to come back to me."

After that, Eric left the room to investigate what happened earlier that night.

The cold wind in the deep night gave the darkness a chilling feeling.

Mitchell spent the night investigating the surveillance footage and copied out the segment where those two women knocked on Nicole’s door.

Immediately after, Mitchell notified the bodyguards to detain these women.

He could already tell how miserable these reckless actresses would end up.

Eric kicking them out of the entertainment industry would be considered merciful.

Mitchell was unsure if Eric was sleeping, so he sent a message telling Eric that he found the culprit.

In less than three seconds, Mitchell received a phone call. Eric asked, "Where did you take her?"

Mitchell replied, "The cubicle in the basement." They needed to be discreet.

One minute later.

Seeing the woman tied up in the room, Eric’s cold eyes were grim and stern as he stood there with no expression. He seemed like a different person from earlier.

His body seemed to be shrouded in a hostile chill.

Two big and burly bodyguards flanked the actress and pressed her shoulders to prevent her from struggling and breaking free.

Charlotte shrank to the ground in horror. She was still wearing the disgusting white nightgown that was now dirty and ripped from her struggle.

With Eric’s signal, the bodyguard took out the rag in Charlotte’s mouth.

Charlotte was bound tightly with her arms behind her back. Her bones were misaligned, so she was in so much pain that her features were distorted at this time. She cried in pain.

"Mr. Ferguson! Mr. Ferguson... I know that I was wrong. Please spare me! I can apologize to Ms. Stanton in person and admit my mistake. I’ll do anything..."

When Charlotte was brought here, she knew that her deed had been discovered.

She suddenly realized that what she should be worried

about was not her career, but her life!

Eric coldIy hooked his lips. His eyes were cruel, vicious, and unfeeling like someone who came from hell, without any feelings.

“Apologize? No, she doesn’t need your apology. Someone who has been hurt won’t be happy just because of an apology, will they?”

His voice was deep and cold. A crazy resolve was vaguely brewing in his eyes.

How could Eric let go of someone who wanted to harm Nicole?

Nicole was Eric’s life.

Charlotte was scared out of her wits. The legendary high and mighty Eric Ferguson was now stand ing in front of her, looking so cold and gloomy like he wanted her life!

Eric was standing so close to her, but she felt a deadly chill. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and she was drenched in a cold sweat.

Charlotte was so delusional earlier. She was caught and brought here in less than an hour. It was ridiculous!

Her tears streamed down her face continuously while her body convulsed as she sobbed.

"Mr. Ferguson, I was wrong... I can quit showbiz and I will never show up here again. Please spare me..."

Eric stepped forward and looked at her from a high position.

The man’s eyes were a little crazed, so Charlotte felt frightened.

His voice was cold and deep. "No one can hurt her. No one!"

The temperature in the room dropped abruptly.

Eric’s attitude was morose and harsh. "So, I won’t spare you so easily."

Charlotte was terrified and speechless. Eric turned around and left.

He was such a refined person, so he did not have to be present or get involved in the dirty work. He just needed to give a command, and someone would naturally follow up for him.

Mitchell followed closely behind.

He was not surprised by such things.

Once it involved Nicole, Eric was so ruthless that he would not even spare himself, not to mention others!

Once they were out of the door, Eric’s eyes were still cold and indifferent. His aura was awe-inspiring.

Mitchell tentatively asked, "President, how  far should  we go with teaching this woman a lesson?"

After all, Charlotte was a public figure. In case word got out, it would be more troublesome to clean up the mess.

Eric lowered his indifferent eyes, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it skillfully. His movements were elegant, yet he was a little arrogant and unrestrained.

After a few seconds, Eric slowly exhaled a smoke ring and said indifferently, "Ask her which hand she used to give Nicole the wine. Spare the other hand."

Mitchell instantly raised his eyes. His face changed for a moment.

He clearly remembered that from the surveillance footage that Charlotte used both hands to give Nicole the wine.

Then...

Mitchell did not believe that Eric would forget the surveillance footage because Eric had a photographic memory.

After a while, Mitchell replied with awe, caution, and respect, "Understood."

Eric lifted his feet and entered the elevator while instructing Mitchell.

"Don’t spread this out so as not to cause trouble for Nicole. If she wants to know anything, tell her to ask me directly. Also, ostracize the other woman."

Mitchell bowed and stood in place. "Yes, sir."

Dominic Young got up feeling refreshed and ready to start work, unaware of the turmoil outside.

Mitchell came over and knocked on his door, handing Dominic the information that Dominic’s secretary wanted to pass him.

Dominic was stunned and laughed. "How can I bother you with such a small matter?"

Everyone knew that Mitchell only listened to Eric Ferguson’s orders, and Mitchell’s position in Ferguson Corporation was not ordinary.

Dominic felt flattered when Mitchell came to deliver documents to him.

Mitchell smiled politely. "Mr. Young, it’s just in passing anyway. Mr. Ferguson also asked me to tell you that this program will be temporarily suspended."

Dominic’s face stiffened, and his eyes widened in shock. ’ Huh?’

Mitchell politely explained, "Ms. Lehman and Ms. Yuliana are the only main characters left. Sadie and Charlotte have both withdrawn from the show."

’Where are the others?’ Dominic found it hard to digest this sudden information.

He never would have imagined that things would suddenly develop to this point.

’They just knocked on Eric’s door, right?’ Dominic’s guilty eyes faltered.

He carefully asked, "Why did they quit? It’s so sudden..."

Mitchell’s eyes sank as he looked straight at Dominic until Dominic felt like he had nowhere to hide.

Mitchell smiled meaningfully. "Mr. Young, you should be clear about why they quit..." ’Playing dumb, huh? Did he forget that the hotel has surveillance cameras?’ Mitchell thought.

When the sunlight lazily crept up the window and shone on Nicole’s face through the gap in the curtain, it created dark shadows on the curtains which cascaded onto the ground.

Nicole’s hungover head was still a little groggy and not quite awake.

She lazily opened her eyes, rubbed them, and quickly adapted to the bright, wavering sunlight.

It was a bright morning, and the room was warm. However, Nicole stiffened and widened her eyes.

’I had too much to drink, and then what? I don’t remember anything... It looks like that wine is pretty strong. I’ve always been a good drinker, but I got myself drunk?’

When she looked down, she saw that her clothes were still the same as last night’s, just a little messy.

At that moment, Nicole was relieved. ’I guess I can still feel my way back to bed even after drinking too much last night!

Thinking that, she went to freshen up and took a shower with a muddled mind.

Half an hour later. Nicole came out.

Her phone suddenly rang.

She walked over and saw that it was a call from Dominic Young.

"Mr. Young, it’s so early in the morning. Do you want to report to me about work, or arrange work for me?"

"Ms. Stanton... President Nicole... What else is there to talk about work? Mr. Ferguson drove away Sadie and Charlotte, so who should we look for to fill these two vacancies?"

This statement was like a boulder hitting Nicole’s head. She was too stunned to react for a moment.

"Huh? Why?"

"1... How should I know? Why don’t you ask Mr. Ferguson about his wise decision?" Dominic stammered.

Dominic could vaguely perceive that it might have something to do with those actresses knocking on his door last night, but at the same time, it did not seem so simple.

Nicole hung up the phone, got dressed, and went straight to Eric.

’Those two women came up to knock on my door last night. Is he afraid that it’ll affect his reputation? Hah! What a hypocrite!’

Eric’s room was on the same floor at the end of the corridor.

It was a little too unusually quiet today.

Nicole went over to Eric’s door, but before she could knock, someone inside opened the door and came out.

It was Mitchell.

"Good morning, Ms. Stanton."

Nicole raised her eyebrows and resumed her previous cool and bland look.

"Good morning, Mitchell."

Mitchell smiled and asked, "Ms. Stanton, do you feel unwell?"

Nicole was surprised by the question. "No..."

He breathed a sigh of relief. "That’s good. Mr. Ferguson is waiting for you inside."

Nicole nodded, and the doubts in her heart deepened. ’Why did Mitchell suddenly ask about my health?’

However, she soon threw those doubts to the back of her mind. She had come to ask Eric for clarification.

’What right did he have to be so domineering and chase away the actresses so simply? Did he think that this is his company?

A few images suddenly flashed through Nicole’s mind. It was about Sadie and Charlotte knocking on the door in their sexy pajamas.

’Is it just because of this? What a pretentious man!’

Now, this variety show had to be adjusted because of Eric’s decision. Nicole did not care that her investment went down the drain. The key was that this would delay Livia’s business!

Nicole walked over and knocked on the door with a cold expression.

"Come in."

Two simple words that were his style.

Nicole helplessly went in. Before she saw him, she asked nonchalantly, "Mr. Ferguson, how did Sadie and Charlotte offend you that you had to drive them away?"

The next second, she saw Eric sitting on the sofa in a black shirt and pants. He was handsome and indifferent, which stunned Nicole slightly.

Nicole then frowned tightly when she saw a woman kneeling on the ground not far away, looking wretched and bloodied.

The atmosphere in the room condensed and froze in an instant.

Nicole’s face paled as she did not expect to see this scene.

When the woman saw Nicole, her voice which was mute from crying so much, once again gained its strength. She crawled over to Nicole in tears with her head hanging low and her chest pressed tightly to the ground. The woman used the humblest gesture, wanting to exchange it for Nicole’s forgiveness. The woman’s hands were already purple and twisted abnormally, looking incredibly painful. Her fingers hung loose on her hands helplessly, as if they were not within her control anymore...

Charlotte knelt on the ground. Her body was shaking violently as she pleaded.

"Ms. Stanton, I’m sorry... I was wrong... I deserve the worst, but please spare my life..."

Nicole stood there feeling strange.

Upon closer look, Nicole recognized that the woman in front of her was Charlotte, the meek woman she had just met last night.

’What’s going on here?’ Nicole raised her eyes and looked at Eric.

Eric sat there, shrouded in a dense chill.

His eyes were as cold as if they were submerged in ice, which even lowered the temperature of the room. His fingers tapped the sofa on his side. His voice was frigid.

"Charlotte, tell Ms. Stanton what kind of seasoning you added to your wine."

One sentence froze the air in the room.

Nicole’s face changed. Her gaze instantly sank coldly. "Seasoning?"

Nicole took a deep breath, holding back her tendency to burst into rage.

"What do you mean? You spiked the wine that you gave me last night?"

Charlotte was too frightened to speak and kept crying breathlessly.

Eric frowned. His cold face became increasingly gloomy as the corners of his jaw tightened. His voice was deep with a n undisguised threat. "Speak, or do you want someone to teach you how to open your mouth?"

Charlotte went limp and trembled on the ground.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and figured that she was duped last night.

Charlotte’s face was miserably pale. She hurriedly stopped crying, but she dared not look up at the man. She knelt in Nicole’s direction and said with a quivering voice, "M-Ms. Stanton, I’m sorry... I was so stupid to put a trace of hallucinogen in the wine. I was delusional! I won’t dare to d o it again! Please be magnanimous and let me go this once

She had originally wanted to add ecstasy, but that drug was too low-level and would create a fast reaction to the brain and body of those who drank it.

Thus, she chose to add a hallucinogen. It would give her a way out because the person who drank it would not have any physical reaction.

The room was silent with a bitter chill.

It was accompanied by Charlotte’s repressed sobs.

Charlotte felt fear and panic deep in her bones. Her fingers were broken off one by one. In the end, even her wrists were not spared.

They did not show her any mercy because she was a woman. Instead, they were more ruthless.

Charlotte’s lips were quivering. She would never forget last night’s scene for the rest of her life.

At this time, when Charlotte looked at Eric who looked like a devil from hell, she felt every one of her nerves trembling.

"I-I really didn’t mean it... I was wrong... Ms. Stanton, I didn’t expect you to be in that room. I really didn’t know what came over me at that moment. I didn’t mean any harm..."

Charlotte humbly and pitifully crawled over and almost touched the tip of Nicole’s shoe.

Nicole quickly took a step back and glared at her with cold eyes from above.

The little bit of sympathy Nicole felt for Charlotte vanished. ’Damn, she deserves it!’

Eric saw Nicole’s attitude and her interrogation just now, so he did not need to answer.

He looked at Charlotte with a gloomy and piercing gaze. Then, he shifted his gentle gaze to Nicole.

He asked, "Do you feel relieved now?"

Eric had been taking out his anger for Nicole.

Nicole glanced at Eric, then looked at Charlotte. The fire in her heart did not get extinguished so easily.

However, Charlotte could not be any more miserable than she was now.

Nicole pursed her lips and snorted. "Charlotte, you really changed my impression of you. Who would’ve thought that the most non-competitive person would be the most ruthless at heart?"

’Damn it! I was so blind!’ Nicole thought.

No matter how much Charlotte begged for forgiveness and admitted her mistake, Nicole was not someone who would get soft-hearted easily.

Nicole would remember those who betrayed her once for the rest of her life!

Charlotte was still struggling to beg for forgiveness when Eric looked at Nicole and asked, “So, what do you wanna do now?”

Nicole was silent for a second. Her voice was extremely cold. "Kick her out of showbiz."

Eric raised his eyebrows. ’Isn’t this already expected? What a kind-hearted woman!’

Before Charlotte could breathe a sigh of relief, Eric instructed a bodyguard, "Take her away."

"Yes, sir."

Eric stroked his defined brow bone.

"Also, there seems to be a lack of education development in certain parts of Africa. Charlotte can volunteer to teach there to make up for her sins. She doesn’t need to come back again."

Charlotte’s face turned pale as she prostrated herself on the ground. She felt like her bones were removed from her body because she could not hold herself up.

This meant that she would not only disappear from Mediania, but she would also disappear from the world at any time.

Eric was really too crazy...

The bodyguards did not give Charlotte a chance to beg for mercy and dragged her away by her arms.

Although Nicole felt that this punishment was a little too heavy, Eric only did this for her, so she could not stand on the wrong side.

They were the only two people left in the room.

Nicole was strangely silent. She did not expect that so many things would happen when she slept so peacefully at night.

Moreover, Eric was the one who helped to take care of the mess.

He had saved her once again.

Nicole felt a little regretful for questioning him as soon as she entered the room earlier.

She felt that she was too harsh on someone who helped her.

After some thought, Nicole coughed slightly and took the initiative to speak.

"Ahem... Mr. Ferguson, thank you for helping me once again."

Eric’s dark eyes looked at her gloomily. "And?"

Nicole was baffled.

Eric looked at her and asked seriously, "How are you going to thank me?"

Nicole replied, "I’ve just thanked you!" Eric was speechless.

Nicole thought about it. Since they were both presidents of big corporations, she should not be too petty.

"Then... How do you want me to thank you? Don’t be polite and state your terms, but it’d better be within my limits."

Although Nicole was grateful, she still wanted to hold onto her principles.

Eric let out a light laugh, seemingly amused by her roguish behavior.

He then pondered about it.

Nicole frowned. ’What ridiculous sh”t is this son of a gun thinking so hard about?’

Sure enough, Eric said, "How about this... You can charter the whole city’s LED screens at 8:00 pm tonight to broadcast your gratitude to me. It should say, ’I, Nicole Stanton, would like to thank Eric Ferguson, the best person in this world!’ Just keep that on for one minute."

Eric seemed to be very persistent about this method of thanks.

His temperament was reserved and indifferent as he shrugged his shoulders and hooked his lips. "It’s not mixed with any feelings. Just a simple recognition."

Although it was expensive, it was worth it.

Such an ostentatious thank you gift was nothing to Nicole.

It was just that she could not accept those disgusting words.

Nicole was silent for a full three minutes as she hesitated.

Afterward, she curled up her lips as if nothing had happened. "Sure, no problem."

Since she owed him and let him state his terms, it was a little too late to regret it.

’Whatever... It’s just one minute, right?’ Being petty was not her style.

Eric laughed in satisfaction as he already expected this answer.

"I’ve also helped you to deal with the other woman. Consider that a free gift from me. No need to thank me for that."

After that, Eric stood up from the sofa and buttoned his suit jacket fluidly. His movements were svelte and smooth,

extremely beautiful.

“Then I’ll wait for the good news.” Eric then stretched out his hand to shake hands with her.

Nicole was speechless.

She smiled perfunctorily and drew her hand back just as soon as she shook his, then spoke with a faint smile.

“As it should be... Such a noble person like you deserves to be broadcasted on all LED screens in the whole world!”

After Nicole left Eric’s room, she did not forget about work and went downstairs to find Dominic Young.

This matter was kept confidential. Aside from Dominic’s various speculations, others did not know what had happened exactly.

Sadie and Charlotte’s agency officially submitted a withdrawal statement that was probably arranged by Eric.

They were discussing who to hire to save the show and reduce losses.

They filmed all day yesterday and had already replaced two people. Fortunately, it was only one day, so they could still hire new people to make up for the shoot in time.

However, Nicole did not want to participate in the make-up shoot. Playing the same games again deliberately would feel too fake.

It might also backfire with Nicole’s acting skills because  she was not as professional as the actors.

Dominic contacted a divorced actress, Zahra, who was a bigwig in the entertainment industry that could not be hired for regular variety shows.

Somehow, Dominic managed to persuade Zahra to come, and she even agreed to try it out for two days.

The other actress was a 25-year-old actress called Ivanka, who Kai contacted for Nicole. Ivanka had been together with her husband for 7 years, and they were the typical model couple in showbiz.

A few days ago, Ivanka’s husband cheated on her. Ivanka chose to bear with it and even announced that she believed in her husband. This move was strongly scorned by netizens at the time.

It was just self-deception.

Currently, Ivanka still did not expose her divorce.

Thus, her participation in this variety show was a way to announce her divorce positively. That would be a better use of the hype than letting the paparazzi or others expose it.

It was a win-win situation for both parties.

Everyone was relieved when the two replacements were arranged and promised to come on set in a few days.

Dominic intended to shoot the other parts first to facilitate post-production editing.

Nicole returned to her room and simply washed up.

She took out her phone and saw the several missed calls from Yvette.

Nicole frowned and thought, ’When did I mute my phone?’

She immediately dialed back, and her call was picked up in less than two rings.

"You finally picked up! I was so worried..."

Yvette said with urgency, "Are you alright? Is that bottle of wine spiked? Did Eric Ferguson do anything to you?"

Nicole paused in her footsteps. When she heard about the wine, some images suddenly flashed in her mind.

’Right... I was on a video call with Yvette when I was drinking...’

Soon after, Nicole frowned in bewilderment. "How did Eric Ferguson get to my room?"

Yvette felt a little guilty and choked on her words.

She stammered, "Uh... I-I was afraid that something would happen to you. I was too worried, so I asked him to check on you... I was afraid that the woman spiked the wine..."

Nicole was shocked for a moment. ’So, Eric was the one who took care of me last night and quietly left?’

If not for Yvette, Nicole would not have known about it. Eric did not even mention it.

A strange feeling crossed her heart like she was tickled by a feather.

Yvette saw that Nicole was silent and guessed that her suspicion was right.

"It’s really spiked?!"

Yvette looked up at the clear blue sky and the white clouds as she pinched her brows. ’I’m such a psychic! Nicole was really drugged!’

She instantly regretted not rushing over to save Nicole. She should not have given Eric Ferguson a chance.

"O MG... Did that son of a b”tch Eric Ferguson defile you?!"

Once those words came out, both ends of the phone were silent for a while.

Nicole slowly exhaled. Her tone was as calm and steady as possible. "Don’t worry, there was only a trace of hallucinogens in the wine. I’m fine. He didn’t do anything..."

Someone like Eric would not take advantage of someone in peril.

Yvette breathed a sigh of relief. "That’s good... If he dares to do anything, I’ll chop him up to pieces!"Nicole laughed and joked, “Just spare his wonhless life.”

Although Eric Ferguson saved Nicole, he still did not change his annoying habit.

’Huh, booking out the city’s LED screen to thank him? He just wants everyone to know that our relationship is not ordinary, right?’ Nicole secretly rolled her eyes.

Yvette said, "But that woman is really ballsy to give you a spiked drink! Do you need my help to teach her a lesson?"

Nicole smiled  faintly, "Thanks, but it’s already resolved."

The punishment was also worse than just kicking the woman out of the entertainment industry.

Yvette said, "Good job!"

After hanging up, Nicole felt a little hungry, but Dominic messaged everyone to gather at the venue immediately.

Nicole rolled her eyes. ’Ugh! Dominic really knows how to exploit people!’

She slowly walked to the hotel entrance. Everyone had already left in their cars.

Dominic had the good sense to wait for Nicole at the door. Nicole gave him a blank stare and got into the car.

Dominic handed her a nicely packaged sandwich and milk.

Nicole’s face eased as she took a bite.

"Don’t you have to wait in line to buy this sandwich?"

Dominic replied, "Mhmm... Mr. Ferguson asked me to give it to you."

Nicole was stunned. ’How did he know that I liked the sandwiches from this store?’

She felt a little touched, but when she thought about the close to eight-figure sum that she spent to book the city- wide LED screen, she suddenly felt that the sandwich in her hand was not as tasty.

’This must just be a coincidence...’ Dominic could not help but sigh with envy.

"Mr. Ferguson has such a good temper. He personally brought you breakfast, and I heard that he even went to buy it in person!"

Nicole coldly cast a sidelong glance at him.

Dominic collected himself for a moment and admitted his mistake with guilt.

"Actually, Sadie and Charlotte came to me last night. I was the one who told them that Eric Ferguson was staying in the presidential suite on the top floor..."

Nicole was stunned. Her eyes were slightly cold. ’So that’s what happened...’

She slowly chewed her sandwich and let out a cold laugh. "You’re quite energetic and enthusiastic, huh?"

After all that, the shit-stirrer happened to be Dominic?

’If I’d known, I wouldn’t have stayed in that presidential suite. This was worse than a nightmare!’

Fortunately, it was only a hallucinogen. If it was some other drug, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At once, Nicole’s sympathy for Charlotte being exiled to a remote place in Africa disappeared without a trace.

Charlotte deserved it!

Dominic touched his nose apprehensively. "I just wanted to see Eric’s reaction. Were those two women driven away because of this?"

Eric’s decision did not need Dominic’s consent, so Dominic was only informed of the outcome and he did not know anything about what went on.

"How would I know? You should ask him yourself..."

Nicole hooked her lips and sneered. If not for the imminent shooting at the moment, Nicole wanted to throw Dominic in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to experience life.

Dominic thought to himself, ’If I dare to ask him, would I even need to ask her?’

On the way to the venue, Dominic carefully served the princess as he was afraid that no one would speak for him when Eric wanted to settle accounts with him later.

Dominic was terrified for himself.

They finally arrived at the shooting site.

Dominic spent a hefty sum to rent out the entire floor of an office building. Soon, the equipment and cameras were set Livia, Yuliana, and Xander arrived early.

To match the environment, Livia purposely wore a formal business suit.

As usual, Yuliana went the sexy route and wore a tight body-hugging dress that outlined her exquisite curves.

When Nicole went inside, she felt a little warm and subconsciously took off her jacket, handing it to Xander, who was standing on the side trying to look like a gentleman.

Xander quickly reached out to take Nicole’s jacket, but a pair of slender hands cut him off in the next second.

Read Chapter 618 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

This Italian brand is a custom order, right? You can’t find another identical piece in this world!"

Nicole was a little surprised that Yuliana did not rush to knock on Eric’s room door, but she also felt that Yuliana was not as frivolous, debauched, and shallow to chase fame and fortune as she appeared to be.

At once, Nicole’s good impression of Yuliana multiplied.

Nicole smiled politely. "Yes. If you like it, I can recommend the designer to you."

That designer was a famous craftsman in Italy. In the fashion circle, he only made clothes for two people a year. His style and thought process were simply excellent. Each piece of clothing was unique globally.

It was not at all comparable to any big brand. Yuliana’s eyes lit up but instantly dimmed down.

"Nevermind. My clothes are all sponsored, so what I wear is up to others."

Nicole smiled and did not insist.

Yuliana casually handed Nicole’s jacket to Eric, who appeared behind her. "Thanks, Mr. Ferguson."

Eric glanced at Nicole. In less than three seconds, he reached out and took it, then expressionlessly hung it on the hanger at the side.

It seemed like a passing chore.

Xander, who was waiting on the side, looked at the scene in shock. He did not even get to touch Nicole’s jacket.

Nicole did not care about this little episode and walked to the other side to take a seat with a clear and cold temperament.

Livia Lehman was next to Nicole, looking at the program. She looked at Nicole and nodded with a smile.

Nicole was just about to speak when a tall figure sat down next to her.

’There are so many seats around, but Eric must sit next to me? Damn it!’

His cold fragrance carried an aggressiveness that was just like him.

If it were anyone else, they would have felt very pressured. However, Nicole was silent and did not say anything.

Eric leaned into Nicole gently. His Adam’s apple moved as he said in a low voice, "Did you eat the breakfast I prepared for you?"

Nicole was stunned and tilted her head slightly, maintaining her cold and aloof demeanor.

She did not want to have any intimate actions with him in front of others.

Nicole pretended to be surprised and lowered her voice. "Oh, you prepared it? No wonder it tastes so bad..."

Eric suddenly laughed. The gloom in his eyes dispersed a little, which was replaced with an imperceptible tenderness.

"Is that so? Then it’s a waste for me to wait in the long line for twenty minutes."

His tone was tinged with a faint disappointment.

Nicole was slightly stunned. ’He really went to queue for it by himself? How unimaginable! How did Eric Ferguson actually get in line behind so many people to buy a sandwich?’

She looked down at her phone to hide her shock and spoke with a light smile.

"Mr. Ferguson, do you even need to wait in line? I thought that with your usual style, you’ll just buy the store with a snap of a finger!”

Eric froze, then laughed.

”If you want to eat it every day, I won’t mind buying it. It won’t lose much money anyway.”

Nicole could not hold back and cursed. ”Who even wants that!”

On the side, Yuliana had a speechless and sour expression. ”I really want it!’

Xander saw that he could not intervene and quickly took some hot water over to the table. ”I’ll make tea for you. Ms. Stanton, I heard that you like to drink white tea...”

Nicole raised her eyes, smiled gently, and nodded. ’Not bad... Setting aside all prejud ices, he’s a very resourceful guy...’

Xander purposely went to the opposite side of Nicole, put the tea on the table, and rolled up his sleeves, ready to show his tea-making skills. He was forced to learn a lot of useless crafts for the sake of filming, now it finally came in handy!

Read Chapter 619 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole put away her phone, wanting to enjoy Xander’s tea- making process. She also instructed the cameraman on the side to film this.

After all, Xander was the money tree that she wanted to make famous!

In the next second, Yuliana twisted her voluptuous body toward Xander and casually put one hand on Xander’s shoulder as she looked at him with amazement.

"Xander, you can also make tea? You’re amazing... I wanna learn too. Will you teach me? But I’m so slow..."

The room was silent for a moment.

Yuliana and Xander were in extreme proximity. Half of Yuliana’s body was leaning on Xander.

Xander’s face was red. He lowered his head with a rare trace of shyness on his handsome face.

"Sure... Sure..."

Xander quickly agreed, but he tried to maintain his decency and reserve. He then lowered his head in panic.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and was shocked for a moment. ’ What’s going on with them?’

Even Livia, who was reading the script, was so startled that her hands shook slightly. She looked up at the pair with a strange look.

Subsequently, Xander began to pour the hot water while explaining, "The water temperature should be at 80 degrees Celsius..."

"Let me help you..."

Yuliana reached out to grab the kettle. Xander hurriedly held her soft and delicate hands as he was afraid that she would be scalded by the hot water. "Careful...”

Time seemed to be frozen at that moment. The scene stalled.

For a while, neither  of them let  go of each other’s hands.

Nicole’s eyebrows were knitted together. She looked at the hands that  were clasped tightly together without flinching.

A room full of people was watching the pair. They seemed to move in slow motion.

Soon after, Dominic came in and coughed heavily. The two people let go of each other quickly.

Their faces were red from embarrassment because they were immersed in their own act.

The crowd was speechless.

Everyone was still a little shocked by what just happened and did not return to their senses.

Only Eric raised his eyebrows slightly. He was in a rather good mood when he saw this scene.

Out of the corner of her eye, Yuliana saw Eric nodding at her with great satisfaction. Yuliana then knew that she used the right method.

In order to create opportunities for Eric and Nicole, Yuliana could only temporarily sacrifice herself to distract Xander.

Dominic stiffened for a moment and laughed to break the awkwardness.

”Yes, we’re all one big family and should help each other... You guys carry on..."

Everyone looked at each other, then began to do their own thing as if no one was around.

Yuliana would look at Xander from time to time, secretly sending suggestive signals.

Xander would also look up at her from time to time. Those facial features that were so similar to Eric Ferguson’s were twisted in a childish and joyful restraint, which looked so out of place.

The two of them, a mature and sexy actress and a naive and handsome male star, just looked awkward standing together.

From time to time, Nicole looked at  Xander, then at  Eric.

Nicole suddenly found that the two men did not resemble each other. Even their  facial  features  were nothing alike.

Especially when Xander openly accepted Yuliana’s advances and looked like they were flirting in front of everyone, Xander looked so mushy, frivolous, and a little slutty.

Just comparing their temperaments, Xander lost to Eric completely.

Nicole felt very regretful. ’Sigh... It looked like Xander’s popularity by imitating Eric won’t work... I must find another way!’

Eric quietly sat on the side and looked a little gloomy when he heard Nicole’s soft sigh. ’Is she so sad to see Xander with other women? Haha! But I’m happy!’

He swept a glance at that counterfeit Xander with a trace of ruthlessness. ’Looks like I can’t let him stay...’

After a busy morning, everyone was immune to Yuliana and Xander’s public display of affection.

It was just that Nicole did not expect Xander and Yuliana to see eye to eye.

How could two people who were clearly completely unsuitable for each other in terms of spouse selection conditions be paired together to create hype?

However, this would not create a bad impact. Otherwise, Dominic would not be so keen to create opportunities for the couple.

Nicole thought, ’Looks like I’ll have to discuss with Dominic about the timing to expose this romance to create a huge hype online. I’ll need to earn back the money I spent to book out the entire city’s LED screens for Eric from my money tree, Xander!’

Her eyes bounced between the couple as she started to cook up a lot of plans.

Aside from Nicole, everyone could feel the cold aura that surrounded the man beside Nicole. He had a sullen and glum face that seemed to say, "Don’t mess with me!"

"Wifey, where are you...?"

Noises were coming from outside.

"You can’t go in there!" Someone stopped the man. "Get lost!"

Keith Ludwig barged in, looking like he was in a hurry. When he saw the woman inside, he suddenly sighed with relief and walked over with a smile.

"Wifey, why are you doing this? Do you want to change your career to be an actor?"

Dominic recognized Keith and waved his hand, signaling the people who were chasing after him to retreat and suspend filming.

When Livia saw Keith, she was first shocked for a moment, then she coldly lowered her head.

"Please get out."

Keith’s face stiffened, but he still forced a smile. "You must be so tired from filming. Let’s go home. I’ll give you whatever you want! From now on, I’ll let you call the shots a t home. Will that work?"

He did not care about the wandering eyes of the people around him, nor his own image.

Young Master Ludwig getting dumped at his wedding reception was widely spread, and everyone was shocked to find that he still did not give up.

Livia Lehman was not at all touched. Instead, she felt like laughing. "Mr. Ludwig, we no longer have any relationship with each other. That’s your home, not mine."

The temperature in the room plummeted.

Keith was silent for a few seconds. He then said in a pleading tone. "Can we talk privately? Just for one minute."

Livia did not want to give Keith this opportunity, but Eric, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and spoke.

"Everyone, let’s take a break. It’s too tiring to continue the shoot, so we’ll resume in the afternoon."

Everyone had the good sense to stop their work at hand. Dominic was speechless as he thought, ’So, am I invisible here?’

Keith cast a grateful glance at Eric. ’My good brother! He’s really my best friend for life!’

Nicole swept a glance at Eric and knew that he was just trying to give Keith and Livia some space. This was a jobbery!

However, Nicole turned to the side and asked politely, "Ms. Lehman, do you need my help?"

Keith’s face stiffened.

Livia was silent for three seconds before she smiled faintly. "No need. I’ll go back to the hotel later after handling this."

She wanted to make things clear with Keith because she did not want him to keep pestering her.

Nicole nodded, then took her things and left.

In the car, Nicole instructed Logan to charter the entire city’s LED screens to display her words of gratitude.

Logan was silent for a few seconds. "Ms. Stanton, must we write that?" Even Logan could not stand it.

Nicole said, "He requested for it himself, so just do as he says."

She also felt very uncomfortable seeing his and her name in the same sentence.

It made sense if it was Eric’s request, unless Nicole was somehow on drugs when she came up with that wording.

Logan replied, "Understood."
