Chapter 1956 Where’s yton?
Eric was silent for a moment as certain emotions surged in his eyes.
"I''m sorry..."
"Who was that man just now?"
Nicole asked.

She had to be wary of those who wanted to get back at her.
Eric closed his eyes.
"You don''t need to know. He can''t touch you."
Nicole chuckled.
"Eric Ferguson, I can''t believe that you''re working with such a person. How could you do such a thing?"
That person could even be called a scum. He might have something to do with an international criminal
organization.
How could Eric work with this group of people?
Were they business partners?
Eric smiled. His face was pale.
"It looks like your impression of me isn''t so bad after all, huh?"
Nicole was dumbfounded and turned to leave.
Eric paused. His throat moved, and his voice was rough.
"yton isn''t in the country, right? Where did he go?"
"Thanks for your concern."
Nicole''s voice was cold.
Although Nicole heard about the Ferguson family''s situation from Floyd, she did not believe that Eric
had no other way to rescue Quinn and Ingrid.
That man was the omnipotent Eric Ferguson.
He could even turn the situation around with Angie, the arms dealer''s daughter.
What more so now?
Could it be that someone threatened to take Quinn''s and Ingrid''s lives?
Right. After all, they were blood-rted, so Eric would be more concerned, unlike when it was Nicole''s
life that was threatened.
Nicole shook her head and did not want to think about it any longer. She did not recall that nightmare in
a long time.
Eric''s voice was cold with a hint of forbearance.
"I don''t want you to get hurt, Nicole.
yton isn''t the one for you. Do you really think he’s just a regr businessman when he''s abroad?"
Nicole stopped walking.
Eric never had anything good to say about yton.
She suddenly felt annoyed.
Why did Eric nder yton?
Eric wanted to use yton with just a few words?
"What are you trying to say? Eric Ferguson, take care of your own affairs. I don''t need an outsider to
tell me who yton is!"
Nicole''s voice was extremely cold ?h’>SNS? detached. She then left in a huff.
Eric raised his voice slightly.
"His project in South Africa is facing a big problem. He colluded with foreign arms dealers and fled
somewhere. The military project that was awarded to your family relied on his core technology
Eric’s words were like ice cubes that were raining down on Nicole''s head. It made her cold and
frightened for a moment.
Nicole stood there to digest what he said for a few seconds, and panic gradually rose in her heart.
Her eyes were cold and heartless. "You''re lying."
It was mostly because of yton that the Stanton family got the military project.
This was only known to Nicoleter.
Of course, Nicole had no worries about cooperating with yton.
No matter what interests were involved, yton has never harmed her.
How could she believe that yton would collude with foreign arms dealers to drag down the Stanton
family?
No, it was impossible!
Eric''s stern and quiet face carried a strange pallor.
"Is that so? Am I lying, or are you lying to yourself?"
He gradually approached her, and his eyes were fixed on Nicole''s face.
Eric had a hard timetely, but he never forgot Nicole for a moment.
Her peaceful life had no trace of him, and to him, every moment was tormenting.
"He’s a viper! Why can''t you believe it?"
Eric gritted his teeth. His aura was somewhat intimidating.
Nicole was shocked by the strong and cold emotion in his eyes. She was stunned for a while and
instantly regained her senses.
"Eric, to you, he might be a viper since you both undoubtedly have a conflict of interest. But to me, he’s
not! He''s my husband, so please show some respect."
With that, Nicole turned around and left, not giving Eric a chance to hold her back.
Eric watched as she left.
Nicole came out after changing her clothes. She called the driver and waited for the driver to arrive
before she went out.
When she was sitting in the car, she felt a chill down her spine.
Nicole did not believe what Eric said, but she felt uneasy.
Thinking about it, she immediately called yton.
The phone rang, but no one answered.
Nicole''s heart subconsciously sank.
Was yton really in trouble?
At that thought, she called Jake.
Jake answered quickly.
"Ms. Stanton?"
Nicole paused and said in a calm tone, "Is thepany''s issue resolved?"
"Everything went smoothly thanks to Mr. Sloan. Ms. Stanton, do you miss him? I still need to borrow
him for a few more days. I’ll return him to you when the trouble here ispletely resolved, alright?"
Jake''s tone was somewhat yful.
Nicole was silent for a moment.
“Is he in a meeting? He didn''t answer his phone."
Jake paused. "He was just here... Hey, Mr. Sloan!”
He shouted on the side of the phone.
After a while, Nicole heard a familiar voice.
"Hello? Baby, did you miss me?"
Nicole’s gloomy mood was suddenly alleviated. The indescribable heaviness suddenly disappeared.
Look, yton was still the man she knew.
Eric’s usations were obviously groundless. How could he say that?
He must be lying to her.
"You didn’t answer my call, so I called Jake to check what you''re up to."
Nicole''s voice softened and sounded charming.
yton let out a lowugh.
"No wonder you contacted Jake directly instead of my assistant. My wife is so smart! Even your
methods are unpredictable. Please check on me more often in the future!”
yton was eager to let everyone know about Nicole''s love for him.
Nicole chuckled softly. Her voice was soft and rxed.
"Do you think that I''m so free? My business partner just stood me up, so I''m in a very bad mood!'' "Who
dares to stand my baby up?"
yton was smiling when he suddenly recalled something.
"Wait a sec, let me call you back on my phone. Jake''s starting to get irritated."
"Okay."
Nicole hung up the phone with a smile on her face.
Her mood was so much better.
After a while, yton called her back.
The two chatted for a while.
For some reason, Nicole deliberately avoided talking about Eric.
That was because she was afraid that yton would be upset when he heard those harsh words.
Although Nicole felt that yton would justugh it off and take it as a joke, she just felt ufortable.
They talked while Nicole was on the road until she arrived home.
Grant was talking with Floyd upstairs, and Kai was out.
Mr. Anderson brought her a cup of fruit tea.
Nicole asked casually, "Where’s Chatty?"
"She just fell asleep. Someone''s taking care of her, so don''t worry!"
Nicole raised her eyebrows and put down her cup.
"I’ll go take a look."
Nicole went upstairs and quietly slowed down her footsteps.
When she passed by the study, she happened to hear what Grant was saying to Floyd.
"The higher-ups think that it''s risky for the military project to be involved with foreign countries. There
are also rumors that there''s an ident in theboratory in South Africa. I don’t know how yton will
deal with it, so the project needs to be suspended for a while.”
