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

‘Will they ever stop pestering me? My

Don’t take it to heart.”
He knew that Nicole did not care for his

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

really important to them…’ 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 not help but subconsciously look at Eric. Eric’s eyes sank and he frowned slightly. The atmosphere was silent and still. Just when Gerard regretted saying this, Nicole let out a light laugh. Her voice was clear, cold, and

marry someone from the same social

and walked out without hesitation. Whenever Eric and Nicole were in the same space, the atmosphere was extraordinarily awkward. If Eric did not force him to invite Nicole to dinner in his name, he was very reluctant to put these two exes together because he did not know how to deal
