Chapter 43

Eric Ferguson did not bother to look at
Nicole’s expression and walked straight t
o, Ingrid. His face was inexplicably cold.
“Was everything you just said true?’ He
asked with gritted teeth.
Ingrid was a little flustered. She bit her
lower lip and did not know how to
respond.

She grew up around her parents and was
not close to her brother, who grew up
abroad. After Eric returned to the country,
he became a first-class business whiz in
the industry and expanded the Ferguson
family’s wealth by hundreds of times.
This made Ingrid insufferably arrogant
‘Answer me!“ Eric saw Ingrid’s hesitation
and forced her to speak.
A crisp, cold scoff came from the left
side behind him. Without a thought. he
knew that it was Nicole who was laughing.
‘Mr. Ferguson, it’s all true.‘

As soon as Nicole admitted it, the
surrounding people looked at these two
people with a complicated gaze. They did
not expect that behind Nicole’s bright and



beautiful exterior was such an ugly and
miserable past.

After hearing Ingrid Ferguson saying it,
they felt sympathetic towards Nicole. The
scandal online after Nicole and Eric’s
divorce did not seem so groundless after
all.
It was truly not easy to marry into a rich

and powerful family…
Eric’s body stiffened and felt something

tightly clenching his heart. it turned out that not only did his close friends despise Nicole, but even the
entire Ferguson the family were bullying her and as Nicole’s husband, he was clueless about
everything! Over their three years of marriage, Eric only went back to their house a handful o f times.
Each time, he only went to talk to Nicole about Wendy’s health condition so that Nicole would willingly
go to donate blood.

He would also be polite to Nicole and ask if she had enough pocket money before he left her a bank
card and left. Eric had always thought that he had been nice enough to Nicole. It turned out that h e
had been deceiving himself He owed her too much! At this moment, he did not know how he should
face Nicole.

His fists were tightly clenched and his- whole body was tense. However, Nicole only laughed lightly.
Her voice was pleasant, but it had a piercing chill. “Mr. Ferguson, you can go home and ask any maid
to find out if it’s true, but even if it is. so what?” ‘So what if you find out about it now?‘



The others only threw hell at Nicole
because they all thought that Eric
acquiesced to their actions.

Thus, what did it matter that he found out about it now? Eric was the least innocent of them all because
he stabbed her and left the the deepest wound in her heart. Under the soothing ambient light, Nicole’s

bright smile was charming yet dangerous. and her beautiful eyes were extremely cold. She was
unforgiving. “Mr. Ferguson, ll rt’s true, what are you gonna do about rt? Are you QOIHQ to let M s
Ferguson and Mrs. Ferguson kneel to m e and apologrze” Wrll you let them do my laundry and cook for
me as my mards° Or do you want to get rid of your poor ex- wife, who doesn’t even have a penny to
her name, by throwing money at her again?”

Everyone looked surprised. When it came to that point, everyone thought that both sides would just cry
and apologize to each other. Someone would C0mprOm|S€

and everything would be swept under the
rug. They did not expect that Nicole
would dare to speak out so blatantly,

The Fergusons were so rich that they did not need a dowry from Eric’s wife. However, being of equal
social status was an unspoken rule among the gentry circle. It was just that no one would openly talk
about it If this drama continued, it would surely get out of hand. If this drama continued, it would surely
get out of hand.

“Apologize? Dream on!” Ingrid refused to admit defeat. There were so many people watching, so she
certainly would not apologize to Nicole She glared at Nicole and stubbornly sand, ‘ I will never
apologize to you. You even want me to kneel and be your maid?‘ Stop daydreaming!“ “That’s enough!“
Eric dragged Ingrid back with full force



Ingrid hit the railing, which was so painful that her eyes instantly welled up with tears. He did not bother
to glance at Ingrid and looked at Nicole with a complex gaze. He could not fulfill any of those conditions
she mentioned earlier, except for money, but would she even accept it? For the first time, Eric felt
powerless “Nicole, I…’ “Mr. Ferguson, since you can’t do anything, don’t act like you have a guilty
conscience. Apologies aren’t worth anything. Are you trying to gain sympathy? Don’t you think you’re
being too shameful?“
