Chapter 985 Using an Injury to Gain Sympathy


    yton raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of coldness in his smile.


    However, yton was relieved. Since he achieved his goal, it was time to leave.


    yton slowly stood up and spoke with an irritating tone.


    "I should be going now, Mr. Ferguson. Nicole will be worried if I stay any longer."


    yton ignored Eric''s murderous gaze and stood up.


    He smiled faintly at Eric.


    Eric was clearly provoked by the words. His eyes twitched fiercely and carried a scarlet killing intent.


    This damned yton Sloan was always challenging Eric’s limits time and time again.


    The next second, Eric could no longer hold back. The blood in his body surged as his anger reached


    an extreme point.


    Abruptly, Eric crossed the table, grabbed yton''s cor, and yanked him forward, then swung a fist at


    him.


    "Just you wait, yton. I won’t let you off easily!"


    The corner of yton''s mouth was bleeding, and half o f his face was bruised, painting his gentle and


    schrly face with color. It was particrly eyecatching.


    yton reached out and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before smiling at Eric.


    He did not look angry, nor did he n to fight back.


    It was as if a little injury was to be expected.


    "Goodbye, Mr. Ferguson.”


    He gave Eric a look and turned around to leave the office where the air was extremely cold.


    There was a violent movement behind him as if something shattered.


    yton remembered the valuable ornament on the desk and secretlymented its destruction...


    Mitchell looked at ytoning out calmly with a bruised nose and a smile seemingly on his face.


    He was instantly a little puzzled. ''Why is yton so happy after being beaten up?''


    Suddenly, a phrase shed in his mind.


    ''Was yton trying to use his injury to gain sympathy? I


    In Stanton Mansion.


    Nicole froze the moment she returned to the mansion.


    Aida was here.


    Kai, who often disappeared, obediently followed the butler around like a punching bag.


    Floyd greeted Nicole when she entered.


    "What took you so long toe back?"


    Everyoneughed and looked at her. Nicole felt baffled, but she still greeted Aida enthusiastically.


    She said awkwardly and politely, "Why didn’t you tell me that Aida wasing? I came back empty-


    handed


    H


    Aida smiled gently. "Don''t be so courteous. I didn''te here to receive gifts.”


    Grant patted her shoulder dotingly and looked at Nicole. "Don’t worry. Let Kai give her something on


    your behalf."


    Kai came out of the kitchen wearing an apron.


    "Where are all your manners?"


    They really took advantage of Kai regardless of time and ce.


    Nicoleughed and nodded in approval.


    "That''s great! Third Brother doesn’t have the power to refuse."


    Kai rolled his eyes and went back to the kitchen.


    It was not a good idea to fight against them when it was one against four.


    Nicole sat next to Floyd and saw him smiling very gently and affectionately at Aida. She subconsciously

    felt that Aida was suddenly a lot more affectionate.


    Floyd was still acting the part of the family head, but his face when he looked at Aida seemed to bloom


    into a smile.


    It was clear how satisfied he was with this daughter-in w-to-be.


    Floyd looked at Nicole and spoke with a smile.


    "Your big brother and Aida decided to get engaged, so I called you all back to ask your opinion.”


    Nicole was stunned for a moment and looked at them. "Really?"


    Grant nodded.


    Aida also nodded with a smile that hid a moment of shyness. Her smile was gentle and beautiful, and it


    was impossible to find any ws in it.


    "Congrattions! What other opinion do you need? Why not just get married?"


    Nicole raised her eyebrows and looked at Grant with a smile.


    What a joyous piece of news!
