The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2604 Deny the Humiliation

Eric knew what to do.

Even if he could not erase that person from his heart for a while, he would not embarrass the two families on this occasion.

Selena was holding Eric's arm, but Eric smiled and squeezed her hand tightly.

Selena lowered her head and smiled, seemingly relieved.

She could not force Eric to wipe away his past.

Her own past was also tainted.

Not surprisingly, all of the Stantons, except Maverick who was away for research, were at home.

Aida was originally doing postpartum rehabilitation, but when she heard about Floyd's accident, she immediately brought Kenji, who was less than one year old, over.

Grant and Kai sat on the sofa with glum expressions. They could not conceal their anger.

Nicole was next to Floyd, gently massaging his shoulders. Her eyes were red.

Floyd's arm was dislocated, so he had a plaster and bandage on it. He was still smiling and playing with Levi and Chatty.

Chatty stuck to Floyd's knee like a piece of bubble gum and kept blowing on his arm.

"Grandpa, does it hurt?"

Floyd's heart was about to melt. He pinched Chatty's face.

"It doesn't hurt anymore! You're amazing!"

Levi stood aside and frowned. "Chatty, you're blowing the wrong arm!"

Floyd laughed out loud.

"Chairman, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson are here."

Mr. Anderson announced.

There was a moment of silence in the living room.

Kai stood up and snorted coldly.

"They're just crying crocodile tears. I knew that Eric is a hypocrite although he looks honest and upright on the surface. He sent his people to scout for something and rushed over to apologize when his plans failed. Bah! He should just stick to being bad and go against us. What is this?! Luckily, Nicole didn't get back together with him. It's true that one can only see the other's true colors after a long time. How can such a person be worthy of my sister? Not to mention, he can't even compare to my awesome brother-in-law!"

Eric and Selena, who were coming in, heard what Kai said.

Both of them were stunned.

Eric had seen many kinds of situations, so he could handle everything.

Grant stopped Kai without any emotion.

"K, don't slap someone in the face and say it in front of them."

Grant was not someone who would show his emotions, but Eric touched his bottom line.

Eric looked stern. When he saw Floyd, he paused and nodded slightly.

"Chairman Stanton."

Floyd's eyes moved to Eric's face without any fluctuation. He also asked his daughter to stop what she was doing.

"Take a rest for a while."

As soon as Nicole stopped, Chatty and Levi could not wait to climb onto the sofa, rolled up their sleeves, and massaged Floyd on each shoulder. "We'll do it!"

Nicole's bad mood improved a lot when she saw the kids being so attentive.

Nicole walked to the other side, looked at Selena, and smiled.

"Ms. Nelson, please take a seat."

Selena looked at Nicole with complicated and hesitant eyes.

Eric asked her to go and sit down while he stood there by himself.

"Chairman Stanton, I'm here to apologize. I'm sorry. I didn't think about this matter clearly. It's my fault that you were accidentally injured."

Eric might not have been so humble before, but Selena was right. If he made a mistake, he should admit it.

Floyd paused and turned his gaze to Selena.

"Is this your wife? She's beautiful. She looks very sensible, and she's a perfect match for you. It's a pity that I couldn't attend your wedding. I asked Nicole to bring a gift. Do you like it, Ms. Nelson?" Selena was taken aback for a moment. She subconsciously raised her head to look at the elderly man in front of her, who was smiling kindly but seemed somewhat distant from her.

Her mind was a mess, but she still nodded.

"Thanks for the gift. Nicole has given it to us."

Floyd nodded, then changed his voice to Eric.

"Then Mr. Ferguson, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"

After all, Floyd was a veteran in the business world. Floyd's eyes were complicated and deep. Although he was smiling and talking, there was no warmth in his eyes.

Eric looked stern and solemn.

Before Eric could say anything, Selena stood up and walked to Eric's side.

"Chairman Stanton, we're sorry to hurt you. It's actually because of me."

Nicole looked at her in shock.

Of course, Eric would not let his wife take the bullet for him. He held Selena's hand, paused, and said in a deep and cold voice, "My wife was kidnapped after our wedding. The kidnapper said that her biologica father ordered her to do so and identified her biological father as you, Chairman Stanton."

Eric's deep eyes looked over and met Floyd's deep gaze.

The flash of surprise in Floyd's eyes made Eric's heart sink slightly.

"Me?!"

Floyd chuckled lightly and felt that Eric was being a little unreasonable.

"Should I come forward and respond to all rumors of my illegitimate children? Mr. Ferguson, this is really ridiculous! How can you use this method to verify the claim? You sent someone to take my DNA sample Eric, if someone kidnapped your wife, there's nothing wrong with you wanting revenge. You should've just called the police and let the police verify this. What do you mean by doing this?"

Floyd's face instantly turned glum and cold, and he was exuding a frightening chill.

Kai laughed lightly, stood up, and unabashedly looked at the two people in front of him.

"So, these two people want to take advantage of us? You two really made a mistake. You should replace the right person if you want to blackmail someone. My parents were deeply in love with each other, so how can my father have an illegitimate child?"

Eric's eyes fell on Floyd.

"But a man's nature can't withstand temptation. Didn't you make any mistakes when you were young, Chairman Stanton? It could be a one-night stand?"

Floyd's face was livid, and he stood up abruptly.

"Eric, how dare you accuse me of something like that?!"

Grant immediately stood up to support Floyd and looked at Eric with a solemn expression.

"Mr. Ferguson, if you want to stand here and slander my father, I hope you can come with some evidence instead of blindly accusing him!"

Eric pursed his lips. His face was tense and serious.

"I didn't intend to offend Chairman Stanton, but I have many doubts. A paternity test is the simplest and most direct method, so I sent someone to approach Chairman Stanton. I didn't consider this properly."

Nicole sneered.

"You want to brush this off with that excuse? Eric, you've made so many mistakes, and you're questioning if others will make the same mistakes as you. Do you think too highly of yourself or are you underestimating others? How can you doubt my father just based on other people's words? This shows that you don't even have the most basic common sense and ability to judge. You are just eager to replace a scapegoat for Selena's accident to make up for your incompetence!"

Eric suddenly raised his eyes to look at her. His face was a little grim and gloomy, and he looked hurt.

"Nicole, I didn't..."
