Chapter 553

Sneak Around

Eric silently went back to the sofa,

He was anxious, resentful, and helpless, s o much so that he simply could not sleep that night



It was just after dawn when he fell into a deep sleep.

Nicole woke up because of Yvette’s phone



“Is Eric Ferguson in your house?”



Yvette asked such a direct question as soon as Nicole pice up.

Nicole frowne! Her brain was still muddled as she answered, “Yes…”



“F*ck! Are you really back together?! You’re living together now? Is it serious o I just a fling?”

After a moment of trance, Nicole finally came to her senses and caught the point.

How do you know that he’s here?

“Eric Ferguson posted a picture on his page, so everyone in the circle knows that you were together last
night!”



After Yvette said that, Nicole hung up and looked through Eric’s social media, but it was blank.

Nicole took a deep breath and called Yvette back

“Send me a screenshot of his post.”

“No way! He blocked you?! Hahahaha! His tawdry move is too funny…”

He even needed to sneak around to posto n his social media,

Soon, Yvette sent Nicole the screenshot.

Nicole almost fainted after seeing it.

The photo was her portrait in the living room. His suggestive caption and reply to Keith’s comment made
people’s imagination run wild.

This son of a b*tch Eric Ferguson did this on purpose!

There were countless comments and likes in the screenshot, so everyone in the circle must know by
now.

“That #sshole!’ Nicole stormed out of her room in anger, but the living room was

empty. The sola WAS messy like it. Fail been slept on, but he was no longer there

“Huh. He ran quite fast!!

Nicole went to get freshened up and went t

work.



Fortunately, Eric did not have too many friends that could see his post. Those people in the circle would
not call to biber her either.

Liberty Technologies recently became a hot topic of discussion. Their arrogant attitude towards Co
.LVETS and their rude demands led to wides discontent. This matter made it to the international news
and attracted sad publicity.

There were demonstrations and protests from Consumers that forced the Liberty government to suspend
the production of Liberty Technologies’ braking system. A series of investigations were also launched

At the same time, the sale of luxury cars with the brake system had to be

suspended, but there was no intention to ncall them

Right on the cusp of this, J&L Corporation’s artificial intelligence can was also exposed, and everything
pointed to the faulty braking system from Liberty Technologies.

Artificial intelligence was the future. Since human life would be in the hands of an emotionless machine,
they would need to he extremely careful.

The result Wund he tragic if they did not take this seriousis, o

The investigation process was no longer kept secret and was unconditionally released to the public.

Soon, the relevant international departments published a report on the investigation of the Al system,
claiming that the system worked well without any malfunctions or accident.

Thus, there was no doubt that the problemn lay elsewhere,

In less than a month, Liberty Technologies fell from glory. The once

sought-after care technology company became a fraud that everyone criticized.



Even though the investors whind Liberty Technologies Wire powerful, no one dared to stand up for the
company in the face of international public accusations.

Soon, the European countries, Mediania, and Liberty, jointly set up an investigation team. With the full
Cooperation of J&L Corporation, the matter Aslearly investigated.

There was a stal defect in Liberty Technologies’ components, but this defect was intermitted, so not
every component had problem.

This was the reason that some owners claimed that there was no problem with their cars.

The results caused an uproar in the international arena.

Soon, the company announced the suspension of this production,

The artificial intelligence car came out of this unscathed and even got a wave of free advertising

Gerard Saw Eric’s attitude and breathida sigh of relief. “No, it’s not tough. You’ve already arranged
rverything niorly, so we were just running errants.”

If not for Eric’s elaborate plan, they would not have wil so beautifully.

At that time, if they directly accused Liberty Technologies, their investors would wiped out J&L
Corporation.

Eric did not hive his usual cold attitude and replied to veryone’s greetings. He had the patience of. .

Everyone was seated. Sutrehow, whether intentional or not, there was a single empty seat next to
Nicole.

Naturally, Eric sat there.



He put one hand casually behind Nicole’s chale.

Everyone exchanged subtle looks when they saw this.

Nicole feigned ignorance and flipped through the menu. She thoughtfully approached Gerard.

“Mr. Lichman, you worked the hardest, so

Nicolle was surprised: “Apologize for

Gerard thought that perhaps Nicole could help him out, so he told her about what happened that day.

When Nicole heard about Eric’s reply, she could imagine what Eric felt at that mortent.

Eric used to be in the military, so even if h e became a businessman, his loyalty to the country not to be
doubted.

It was no wondercard felt so guilty.

** Ms. Stanton, please help me to say a few words in a moment…”

Nicole smiled. “Of course.”

As they spoke, the door of the private room opened again. Eric came inside by himself.

He swept a glance at the people present and lingered on Nicole for a moment. He then smiled and went
up to pat Gerard’s shoulder

You must’ve had a tough journey.”
