Chapter 1600

Why Is He Here?

Why was Mitchell here?

Mitchell looked straight at Nicole, who was behind Logan. When he came back to his senses, he
stammered.

“Ms. Stanton, you…”

Mitchell thought, ‘Eric thought you were dead!’

Logan did not give Mitchell the chance to speak, lest the guests around noticed that something was
wrong.

“Mitchell, Ms. Stanton and Mr. Wilheim still have some business to discuss. This way, please…”

Nicole stood on the side, tilting her head every now and then t o say a few words to Mr. Wilheim.

She could tell that after Mr. Wilheim stopped painting, he did not know anything about doing business.

Mr. Wilheim usually thought that it was easy to make money. Each of his paintings could sell for a sky-
high price, and he felt that art was priceless, so he did not hesitate when naming his prices.

Of course, it was both luck and skill that the public sought after his work like crazy.

However, now, Mr. Wilheim’s father was gradually aging, and



there was no one to inherit the huge company behind him. Their only options were to let shareholders
divide their painstaking efforts or for Mr. Wilheim to take over.



Mr. Wilheim had no choice but to come forward.

Fortunately, they did not need him to do anything. He just had to act as a prop.

Nicole briefly understood the situation and sighed.

“Unexpectedly, even at your age, you can’t even live out your old age in peace?”

Mr. Wilheim said, “At least I lived a happier life when I was at your age!”

Nicole was speechless.

Oh no. The two of them only exchanged a few words, and they already seemed to be heading toward a
disagreement.

Nicole looked over and saw Logan saying something to Mitchell

However, Mitchell did not move and stared at Nicole with a tense expression. His eyes looked straight
at her.

No, Mitchell was looking behind her.

Nicole’s heart sank.

Before Nicole could turn around, she heard Mr. Wilheim speak from the side.







“Isn’t this the man who paid a big price for my painting? Is he still pursuing you?”



Eric stood there. His eyes were dark and quiet as if he was out o f place in this noisy venue.

He seemed to be standing in another world, peeping at the person he regarded as the most precious
and not even daring t o breathe hard.

It was as if he was afraid of this scene shattering like a dream.

Nicole did not even enter his dreams after she died.

How cruel was that to him?

Under the light, she stood there with a faint smile. She looked around, and she still had that cold and
bright feeling. That kind of feeling made him catch his breath.

At that moment, Eric did not dare to believe it.

He watched her as seconds passed.

Finally.

Nicole turned around, and her gaze fell on his body inadvertently.

At that moment, Eric felt like his neck was being strangled, . making it hard for him to breathe.

Her icy eyes swept past subconsciously, but he knew that she saw him.



In that momentary pause, Eric’s heart seemed to come back to life all of a sudden. His heart that had
been turned into ashes along with the explosion seemed to be revitalized as if it had encountered an
oasis.



Eric took two steps forward. The several people talking between them widened their eyes in surprise
when they saw him.

“Mr. Ferguson is here?”

“Mr. Ferguson, long time no see. I heard that you went abroad to expand your business?”

“Mr. Ferguson…”

Eric could not hear anyone’s voices anymore.

His steps were heavy, but he wanted to fly to Nicole’s side.

However, he was just a few meters away when Nicole suddenly withdrew her gaze and looked in the
direction of Logan and Mitchell.

Mitchell naturally noticed this as well.

Other people did not know, but Mitchell was well aware of what happened between Eric and Nicole
during this time.

Nicole was kidnapped because of Eric, but Eric did not save her.

Instead, he only took revenge after she “died”.
