Chapter 1754

Fortunately, It Wasn’t Him

Once they looked, sure enough, everyone could not help but laugh.

“Ms. Stanton, you really are lucky! You actually won with those rotten cards!”

“Oh dear, isn’t that lady just now going to regret it?”

The awkwardness just now was covered up by jokes and laughter.

Nicole also acted as if she did not hear and brushed it over with a smile. The chips in front of her piled
up. She smiled and waved at the woman who had given up her seat earlier.

“You’re just in time. You can take over this round. Just use the chips as you please. I’m going to look for
Clayton.”

Nicole stood up as she spoke, not dragging her feet at all.

Yvette looked at Nicole and also stood up with a smile. “I’m leaving too, lest my man says I’m not doing
my job.”

She walked over and took Nicole’s arm, leaning close to her.

“Are you upset?”

Tina was unhappy with her own life and had no control over her mouth. Was she not afraid of offending
others?

It seemed like Tina would not be allowed to attend such occasions next time.

It was too degrading.



Nicole glanced sideways and spoke lightly. “What’s there to be mad about?”

“Don’t play dumb. Hmph! That lady was probably just regretful that her man isn’t Eric Ferguson.
Otherwise, her patience with her failed marriage would probably be higher. She lives like that yet she
worries about scum living badly. It’s quite amazing.”

Nicole’s lips twitched, not caring much at all.

“It’s the path she chose, so she has to walk through it even if she’s on her knees.”

“That’s true.”

The two walked to the other side as they spoke. Several men gathered around playing poker. Latest

group of women.

Lance took a sip every now and then from the glass of red wine in his hand and looked down to say
something to Clayton. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding and exchanged information.





Clayton’s sharp eyes noticed Nicole coming over. His eyes softened for a moment as he waved at her.

Nicole walked over and sat beside him.

Clayton smiled. “Did you win?”

Nicole answered casually and looked at his cards.

Clayton turned to the side to let her see. He looked relaxed with a hint of reckless flirtation.



Opposite them, Gerard saw this intimate scene between the couple and suddenly felt a little upset i n
his heart.

If Eric, who was far away from home, saw this, he might have gouged his eyes out.

“When will the project start?”

“Next year. We’ll pick a good date.”

“When the time comes, we’ll all go and support you…”

Everyone joked and laughed, and someone suddenly said, “Someone from Ferguson Corporation is
here.” daily new chapters only uploaded www.infobagh.com

Gerard looked up in surprise. His reaction was the largest. “Mr. Ferguson is here?”

However, the next second, the person who pushed the door open was not Eric.

Everyone was stunned by Gerard’s words for a moment.

How could Eric suddenly show up?

They could not see him even if they wanted to.

However, it was fortunate that it was not him.

“I’m sorry for being late, everyone…”

Mitchell was now the President of Ferguson Corporation, and his status was naturally different from
before. Back when he was Eric’s assistant, he was still one of the top executives in the company, and
the bosses of other companies had to politely greet him.



Now that Mitchell was the President of Ferguson Corporation, the sharpness he deliberately hid
suddenly seemed to be unconcealed. Everyone seemed to have overlooked Mitchell, who grew
stronger beside Eric.

Nowadays, Mitchell followed Eric’s style. Some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of
Eric’s departure to draw Mitchell in and seek benefits, but they were decisively rejected by Mitchell and
even blacklisted.

For a while, there was not even a chance for the company to get messed up, and everything was done
smoothly.

“Mr. Mitchell, we were waiting for you…”
