Chapter 517 Too Biased


    Everyone was secretly shocked.


    Xander was just a neer, but he got so many resources at once. His limelight was really


    overwhelming!


    He was excited at first, but his back stiffened near the end of Nicole''s words. He suddenly felt a little


    unhappy.


    Xander was exhausted these days. He only slept three to four hours per day but still had to maintain a


    high state of wakefulness.


    He was excited about the resources Nicole mentioned, but he also felt very heavy...


    Would he die of exhaustion?


    Nicole looked down at her watch. Logan stepped forward at the right time and whispered in a voice that


    everyone could hear, "President Nicole, it’s about time for your appointment with the director..."


    Everyone was struck by a realization. Oh, so she was not here to visit Xander.


    Nicole nodded and walked away, not bothering to stay any longer.


    Her attitude was very obvious.


    She did not care what the reporters wrote. They could not be posted online anyway.


    Eric also followed her with no extra words.


    Xander turned sideways to let them pass.


    He bowed his head slightly, and the reporters present could clearly see the respect in his demeanor.


    The difference between the real deal and the substitute was too big!


    Eric tried to suppress the sneer in his heart. This substitute waspletely inferior. There was no way


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    that Nicole would take a fancy to someone like Xander!


    He caught up to her with a few steps and raised his brows.


    "Are you done visiting him so soon?"


    Nicole said, "Maybe another day. There are too many third wheels disturbing us."


    Eric narrowed his eyes as his chest tightened, instantly feeling suffocated and dull.


    Nicole returned to Stanton Mansion.


    Floyd was drinking tea and watching a movie leisurely in the drawing-room while Tigger snoozed


    drowsily on the side.


    Floyd sharpened to attention when Nicole came in.


    "I heard that Eric went to the office to find you today?”


    It was argemotion, so even Grant knew about it.


    Nicole responded and did not hide it.


    Floyd pursed his lips. "Recently, there are rumors that there’s an engagement arranged between the


    Ferguson and Harrison families. Did you know about this?"


    Nicole did not know about it, but she was not interested either.


    However, Floyd was saying this to remind her that the movements of the Ferguson family affected the


    trend o f interests in the business world.


    It was a reminder as well as a warning.


    "It has nothing to do with me."


    The simple sentence made her stance clear.


    Floyd nodded. "No matter how good Eric is, the Ferguson family is too focused on immediate benefits.


    They''re not good people either."


    Except for Eric, the rest of the Ferguson family had very limited eyesight. Even Old Master Ferguson


    only paid attention to immediate gains and losses, which was quite disappointing.


    Nicole knew that the Ferguson family would not wait for her attitude forever.


    She did not want to have anything more to do with the Fergusons.


    "I understand. I''ll maintain a good boundary.”


    That was what Floyd meant. He was afraid that she would grow soft-hearted and get hurt again.


    He cared deeply about his daughter.


    Early in the morning.


    The weather turned cold.


    It was drizzling outside, and rain dripped from the eaves, the sound hypnotic and moving.


    Nicole tossed and turned the whole night but did not sleep well. She felt restless for no reason.


    She slowly washed up and went downstairs, but she did not want to drive. She just so happened to see


    Kai drinking a ss of milk and watching entertainment news.


    Nicole threw her car key at him and muttered, "Take m e to the office."


    Kai coughed and looked at her with reluctance. "Can''t you get up earlier and go with Grant? You''re


    both President Stanton, but Grant is clearly more diligent than you!"


    Nicole raised her brows and just so happened to see Floyd return from outside with his fishing gear.


    "Dad! Kai looked down on me for getting upte and didn''t want to send me to work!"


    Floyd raised his brows and red at Kai warningly.


    "Do you want a beating?"


    Kai stomped his feet. Floyd was so biased. Too biased!'' Do I not deserve fatherly love too?’


    Nicole raised her chin smugly. After so many years, her third brother still did not understand his status


    in the family!
