Chapter 720

From the moment Eric entered the kitchen, Nicole was prepared for the worst.

She thought that the worst that could happen would be tasting horrible food.



However, the result was somewhat unexpected. Eric did not even make anything. Instead, he blew up
the kitchen!

The smoke rolled out and triggered the fire alarm.



Eric did not look the slightest bit wretched. Even in this messy situation, he still looked noble and above
everyone.



However, his complexion was glum.

He felt frustrated and angry for losing his reputation.



Eric pursed his lips. The tip of his tongue was pressed against the roof of his mouth. His brows were cold
and stiff as he grunted. His voice was slightly muffled from having inhaled some smoke.

”There’s a problem with the tools.”

After that, he pulled Nicole outside because the kitchen was nasty.



Although nothing caught on fire and the smoke was caused by the oven burning, it reached a certain
temperature and automatically short-circuited.

The smoke triggered the smoke alarm and sprinklers, so the room was flooded with water.

The entire floor was affected. The hotel manager came out to reassure the guests, rearranged their
accommodation, and compensated for the damages.

Nicole watched this dramatic scene while Eric was sitting in the lobby, completely staying out of it. He
was just scrolling through recipes on his phone.

Eric was really interested in cooking.

Nicole laughed in exasperation. The hotel manager came over to her and said, “Ms. Stanton, would you
like to go over and take a look?”

After all, this was her hotel. Nicole was heartbroken and cursed Eric a million times in her heart.

’This bastard really spoils everything!’

Nicole nodded and followed the hotel manager to take a look at the damages. The whole floor was
completely ruined. They needed to redecorate, and the losses were immeasurable.

“The rest is fine. It’s just that the hotel can’t operate during the refurbishment. In that case, is Mr.
Ferguson…”

’Is Mr. Ferguson compensating for these losses?’ The hotel manager stopped mid-sentence.

Nicole paused for a moment. “I’ll pay for the losses. Logan will contact you later, so if there’s anything,
just contact him directly.”

The hotel manager sighed with relief. “Yes, Ms. Stanton.”



Nicole turned around to go back. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure beside Eric.

Surprisingly, it was Xandria.

Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows. Xandria’s face was ingratiating and delighted as she handed over
something in her hand to Eric.

Eric took it with an indifferent expression. He did not even glance at her.

Xandria left reluctantly. Nicole pursed her lips.

Suddenly, she remembered something and took out her phone to call Jacob Cook.

“Who did you ask to deliver the flash drive?”

Jacob did not know why Nicole was suddenly asking this, but he still answered honestly.

“It’s Xandria. Everyone in the department is busy checking the accounts, so Xandria is the only one who
can run errands.”

“You gave her such an important thing?”

Nicole was suddenly furious. ’Is Jacob Cook senile?!’

“She… Although she’s new, she’s your relative. I told her that this is very important and that she must
give it to you personally. I thought that she’ll be more dependable than outsiders…”

Jacob stammered as he explained. He felt very apprehensive.

Ever since Nicole brought people to knock him down, Jacob felt fearful of Nicole.

Nicole snorted coldly. ’More dependable than others?’



Her tone was cold as she mocked him. “Do you know who she gave it to? She gave it to our rival, Eric
Ferguson. Mr. Cook, if our secrets get leaked, you don’t need to investigate further and can get out of
Stanton Corporation with her.”

After that, Nicole hung up the phone and walked out with big strides. Eric held the flash drive and
frowned slightly. He did not seem to know what this was.
