Nicole glanced at Logan, who also looked
surprised, which meant that he was also
unaware of Eric Ferguson’s attendance.
The two of them looked at each other.
Nicole then walked in with a smile as she
looked at Gerard Lichman. She spoke
casually. “Is this a set-up?”
Gerard shrugged his shoulders. He
looked at Eric, then at Nicole.
“Vice President Nicole, I had no choice.
Please forgive me for being
presumptuous. Let me just clarify that I
will remain neutral and will never interfere
in the matters between you both. To
express my sincere apology, when you’re
done talking, I’ll bring you to visit our

newly established research lab. I’m sure
you’ll be very interested in it.”
‘Interested? Indeed.’ Nicole thought.
However, she still felt annoyed that she
had been deceived.
Nicole expressionlessly retracted her
gaze and looked at Eric with a slight
frown. “Mr. Ferguson, if this is because of
that pipe, there’s no need to waste your

weird today
“Is that all?” She was getting impatient.
Eric was silent for a second before he
spoke again. “That tobacco pipe is
useless to you. If you were just
deliberately trying to anger them, you’ve
already succeeded. After your anger has
subsided, please return it to my
grandfather. As I mentioned before, you
can state whatever conditions you like.”
The atmosphere was silent for a
moment. Nicole hooked her lips.
“Hah! When other methods didn’t work, he
decides to go down the emotional route?
His purpose is to get back the emerald

Gerard could not help but crack a joke to break the silence. “Whatever conditions? If she wants to get back together with you, are you willing to do so?” The other three people in the room were stunned, and Logan could

Eric raised his head. “What is it?” It seemed that he would agree to whatever she requested. Nicole swept a glance
