The divorced billionaire heiress Chapter 51

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 51

Nicole was unhappy when she learned that Eric Ferguson was personally in charge of this project. She
did not want to deal with this man, but it was inevitable that they would meet and talk during the
cooperation.

‘How annoying.’

The next morning, Nicole went to J&L Corporation with her team. Gerard Lichman came to receive them
and wanted to take them to the research lab.

Seeing the latest research and achievements in the lab would give the people of Stanton Corporation an
authentic experience of their research progress.

Nicole and Gerard were walking while talking. Before they reached the entrance of the lab, a small thing
scampered out of nowhere to them. Someone from behind let out a cry of alarm. “Careful! “

On closer look, it was a fat tiger with pointed ears and whiskers. It was small, adorable, and so lovable.
The little tiger only reached Nicole’s ankle and was very furry. Besides its stripes, it did not have any
semblance of a fierce and majestic tiger.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this little tiger. Nicole froze and was so startled that her heart
skipped a beat. She then took a step back.

However, this “tiger“ rammed into Nicole’s shoes and rolled on the ground in pain. “Ouch… “ It crawled
back up clumsily and rubbed its head at Nicole’s feet. It then shook its head and looked up at her.

This action and appearance resembled a tiger cub that was spoiled, lazy, and curious about everything.
Nicole felt the urge to kidnap it.



The “tiger“ blinked and shook its whiskers on its cheeks. It stretched out a front paw from its chubby little
body to touch the spot on Nicole’s right foot that it had just bumped into like it was wiping off some non-
existent stains.

Nicole patted her chest and took a deep breath, then rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

“What a pretty lady! “ The tiger had the voice of a three or four—year—old boy.

Her eyes widened in shock. “This tiger speaks English?! “

‘No, wait… Why would there be tigers here? How can an endangered animal appear here?! ‘

Gerard could not help but laugh lightly. “Sorry for scaring you.“

He looked down and said in a gentle voice, “You should apologize for scaring our guests.“

The “tiger“ once again rubbed its head on Nicole’s feet and sounded aggrieved as it said, “I ‘m sorry…
Please forgive me. I just look fierce, but I’m actually very gentle…“

It spoke so naturally that it was no different from human speech. Its movements also did not make any
mechanical sound. If it had not spoken, Nicole would have thought that it was a real tiger!

Her heart melted from its cuteness.

The crowd was shocked as they watched on the side. Nicole squatted down in amazement and looked
into the tiger’s eyes. Although this was a model of a tiger, its eyelashes and pupils had the luster and
characteristics of a real animal that could change with the light. It could certainly be mistaken as a real
tiger cub, but upon closer inspection, Nicole could see a speck of infrared light in its eyeballs.

“This is our experimental team’s latest specimen. They’re currently researching pet companions to
relieve boredom. It usually doesn’t run around like this. Someone must’ve left the door open, so it took
the opportunity to slip out.“ Gerard sighed helplessly.



“Is this also part of our project?“ Nicole asked excitedly. ‘If so, what a pleasant surprise!’

Gerard hesitated and said, “No, it’s still not mature enough and there are many questionable factors, so
it’s not suitable to be rolled out into the market yet.“

“It’s so cute! I want to adopt one! “ The group gathered around.

“Me too…“

“The cost of this tiger is comparable to buying ten shopping malls in West City. We use very high-grade
materials from all over the world. Even if we were to compromise on various factors, it’ll be hard to
achieve mass production.“

The crowd bemoaned the fact that this cute tiger turned out to be a gold mine that they could never
afford.

‘No wonder it didn’t look anything like a machine!

Amazing!’

When Nicole heard that it would not be iass- produced, she felt a little disappointed. This robot could
communicate with people and could replace pets without the hassle of feeding, discipline, sickness, and
death. It could even become a great companion in life. If such a product were to be released, it would
certainly shock the entire industry.

Gerard could see through Nicole’s thoughts and felt regretful as well. ”Let’s go.”

Nicole looked at the ”tiger ” with fondness, but the tiger suddenly laid on the ground with its belly up
trying to get Nicole to play with it. ”Pretty lady, I want a hug ! ”

Seeing this, Nicole could not help but laugh. She looked at Gerard and he helplessly glanced at the little
tiger before he nodded in agreement.



Nicole carefully stretched out her hand. The tiger was very nimble as it jumped into her arms. It was
about the size and weight of a cat and could easily be held by both hands. It was fluffier and softer to the
touch than Nicole imagined. The tiger also rubbed its head on Nicole’s chest and nestled in her arms
comfortably. It had a lazy face and even squinted its eyes in enjoyment. It was so cute that everyone’s
hearts melted.

”Little Tiger, you’re so cute… ” Nicole could not resist talking to it.

”I agree… ” The little tiger looked so proud and lowered its head to snuggle on Nicole’s palm.

A female colleague next to Nicole carne over. “Little Tiger, are all tigers just as cute and cuddly as you
are?“

The little tiger rolled its eyes. “Please select an animal mode. Do you agree to switch to the fierce tiger
mode?“

It even deliberately emphasized the word “fierce“.

The female colleague rubbed her hands and saw that Nicole and Gerard had no intention to object, so
she excitedly said, “Agree! “

The little tiger turned its head and twitched its eyebrows. “Roar…“

The crowd was puzzled. “Roar… Roar…“
