Chapter 2379 Sin
The police officer spoke again.
“That car is nearly scrapped. We have investigated Mrs. Quinn Ferguson’stest activities and call
records. She has contacted an unfamiliar number from abroad, but it’s a temporary number. We’ve
started tracking it. If you have any clues, you can provide them to us.”
Nicole nodded.
Her expression was veryplicated. She felt sorry for what happened to Quinn, but she could not
think of Quinn’s purpose for doing this.
“Have you met Mrs. Quinn Ferguson recently?”
The police officer asked.
Nicole shook her head. “No, I don’t have any contact with her privately.”
The police officer nodded.
“Well, we have no other questions for now, so you two can leave.”
yton thanked him and helped Nicole get up.
“Were you scared?”
yton touched Nicole’s forehead.
Nicole shook her head. “I just can’t figure it out.”
The couple went out and got into the car.
yton paused. “Why don’t we go to the hospital to check it out? Mr. Ferguson may know more than
us.”
Nicole did not think too much about it and nodded.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Quinn was still ced in the best ward of the hospital.
However, it was cold inside. Quinn was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and no one else was
there.
Just as Nicole was about to say something, she saw Eric walking over from a distance holding his
phone. He looked serious and indifferent without a trace of sadness in his eyes.
It was as if the person who got into the ident was not his family member.
Looking at the two people at the door, Eric frowned slightly. However, he quickly regained his
“You’re here.”
Eric was not at all surprised by their arrival.
He took them to the living room inside the VIP ward.
yton nced around and said in a calm voice, “The police told us that Mrs. Ferguson stole Nicole’s
car. I think you owe us an exnation, right?”
Eric nced at him with dark eyes before he nced at Nicole.
He did not even dare to take another look at Nicole for fear of revealing any redundant emotions.
Eric looked away and quickly regained hisposure.
“As you can see, she did this to herself. I willpensate for Nicole’s car and get her thetest model
of the same brand.”
yton chuckled lightly.
“Is that all? Shouldn’t you give us an exnation? We don’t just want a car.”
Nicole nodded and took a deep breath.
“Eric, I don’t even know why your mother came to my office out of the blue. She even drove away my
car and got into an ident. You need to exin this to the police as well, right? Isn’t it weird?”
The silence in the air made the time drag on.
Eric was very reluctant to let another person know about this scandal.
Even if Eric found something that the police did not, he did not intend to say it.
He just wanted to close the case in the simplest way possible.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
However, Nicole’s question made him feel ashamed.
Eric stood up and walked to the window. He was tall and indifferent.
He thought that this situation was ridiculous and out of control.
The cold wind blew in, dissipating the tension and staleness in the air.
Soon, Eric finally said in a low voice, “Someone tampered with that car, not my mother. But she knew
about it and drove the other car away so that you’ll drive the tampered car. Unexpectedly, she drove
the wrong car and got into a car ident. That’s all I know.”
Nicole sat there in shock. Her back was stiff and straight.
Howe?
Nicole and Quinn had not seen each other for so long, but Quinn still hated herself so much.
Those petty fights that they had escted to the point of plotting her murder.
Nicole did not know whether she should be grateful for her lucky escape, or she should mock Quinn for
asking for it.
She felt a dense chill on her back.
yton’s eyes were slightly cold. He turned his head and sat beside Nicole.
“So, what should we do now?”
Eric’s gaze met yton’s, and the two men looked at each other for a few seconds. Neither of them
admitted defeat.
It was like they were having a silent fight.
The air was stagnant.
No one lost.
In the end, Nicole interrupted the dead silence.
“Eric, you investigated much more than the police, but you didn’t tell the police because you didn’t want
to reveal the truth, right?”
Eric paused and pursed his lips. His face was tense, and his handsome features were somewhat cold.
“There will be no benefit to both parties if it’s revealed. No one can control how this news will spread,
so it’s better to suppress this matter. But you can ask for any conditions you’d like.”
The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched, and a bit of disdain shed in her eyes.
“You’re afraid that if the news gets out, Ferguson Corporation’s image would be ruined, and your stock
value will reduce by tens of billions of dors, right? This isn’t a bnce of interests between the two
parties. It’s unterally decided by you, so don’t speak so righteously.”
Nicole was frank and left Eric no chance to make amends.
For a while, the room fell silent again.
There was no movement.
However, yton’s mood suddenly improved.
“You should be more tactful and put it nicely for Mr. Ferguson. Why are you so merciless?”
Nicole rolled her eyes at him. “Why don’t you say it then?”
yton paused, smiled, and coaxed her.
“You can talk. You sound better than I do.”
“Tsk!”
Eric just thought that their lover’s prattle was irksome.
His chest felt like it was scratched by a sharp knife as blood oozed out from his heart.
Obviously, the pain was severe, but he could not show it at all, especially at this time.
Nicole turned her head away and looked at Eric with cold eyes.
Her words were like an ice pick that pierced Eric’s heart.
Eric could not even retort because it was all true.
All his negotiating skills were useless at this time. New ch?pter avаble o? Dr?мanоvеls.cоm
Eric paused, sat opposite her with his legs crossed, and suddenlyughed deeply.
He was no longer as tense as before.
“Yes, she deserves it.”
Eric sighed and shrugged helplessly.
He did his duties as a son.
However, Quinn wanted to break thew, and Eric could not stop her.
However, Eric did not want this matter to implicate Ferguson Corporation.
How could he keep this hidden?
Eric nced at yton’s meaningful gaze and felt chills in his heart.
It was impossible.
Eric raised his head and looked at Nicole with deep and dark eyes.
He spoke in difficulty because he could not bear to let Nicole suffer such a grievance.
