The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 528 She Wants to Be Mrs. Ferguson

A trace of disdain and indifference flashed in Eric's eyes. Ivy did not miss the trace of emotion in his face and instantly felt like her heart was stabbed.

She felt a painful convulsion.

Eric raised his head and looked at her.

"The reason why you were dismissed from Stanton Corporation should be clear. Ferguson Corporation won't accept an employee who can't even pass the internship period. Also, with all due respect, don't compare yourself to Nicole. You're from completely different worlds."

The difference was as stark as heaven and earth.

What was there to compare?

His words were too straightforward, not caring whether Ivy's self-esteem would be hurt or not. Her face swiftly paled.

Even Mitchell felt some pity for her.

Unexpectedly, not only did Ivy not leave, but she also stood there and looked pitifully at Eric, her fists clenched tightly.

"But Old Master Ferguson said that Ms. Stanton is too strong-minded. You sent your sister and mother away because of her. She'll only cause trouble for the

Ferguson family if she's with you. You... Do you really

not consider the consequences at all?"

Mitchell stood to the side, trembling. Cold sweat dripped down his face.

Eric's good mood was completely destroyed by Ivy. Even Mitchell was overwhelmed by the heavy gloom in Eric's eyes.

Ivy acted on her own initiative and gave him an analysis of the stakes. She did not believe that a businessman like Eric who looked at benefits would remain unshaken.

Old Master Ferguson hinted that she should show up more often in front of Eric to cultivate their feelings. That meant that she was more suitable for the position of Eric's wife than Nicole. The atmosphere in the office was quiet for a few seconds as a chill rose.

Eric's eyes measured her morosely. He raised his hand to touch his brow ridge, the action slightly wicked and bewitching.

Suddenly, Ivy became a little uneasy.

He gave a light snort, his eyes full of coldness. "Ms. Harrison, are you meddling in the Ferguson family's business because the Harrison family has too few things to do?"

Ivy's eyes trembled slightly. She looked up in a panic and was just about to explain herself, but Eric did not give her the chance.

His next words sent her straight into hell.

"Many women want to be Mrs. Ferguson, but I won't look for them in the trash, understand?"

Those words were too obvious. He was equating her to trash.

No matter how thick-skinned Ivy was, she could not remain indifferent.

Her pale face was drained of blood as tears poured out. The courage that the Harrison family gave her instantly disappeared without a trace.

She seemed to realize that Eric might know the truth about her. He might know that she was an illegitimate daughter.

Those packaged identities and conversations were taboo when it came to real nobles.

She pretended to be a high-society lady for so long, but Eric could tell at a glance that she was a fake.

How could she even dream about being Mrs.

Ferguson?

The countless taunts in her head stabbed her like needles. She bit her lower lip, unable to hold it any longer, and was just about to turn and leave... Suddenly, Mitchell's voice cried out in surprise.

"Ms. Stanton, Mr. Eichman?"

Nicole and Gerard realized that they came at the wrong time and were just about to leave, but they were a step too late.

They more or less heard the words earlier. It had to do with Nicole.

Eric's face changed. He swiftly got up and walked over with a smile.

"I'm really lucky to be able to see you twice today!"

Without a doubt, those words were said to Nicole.

Gerard turned his face on the side. He just felt like an invisible person.

Nicole frowned and took a step back, keeping a distance from him.

"Mr. Eichman said there's urgent business. We need a meeting."

Eric's face calmed down and he turned to Mitchell." Prepare the conference room."

"Understood."

Mitchell put down the things in his hand and was just about to leave the office when he suddenly remembered that there was another person present. He turned around and said, "Ms. Harrison, Mr. Ferguson will be going to a meeting. You..."
