The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 642 Bad Idea

Kai questioned Nicole's methods, but since Nicole was Julie's bestie, she would understand Julie best. Thus, Kai had no choice but to half-heartedly do as he was told.

Nicole was on the trending topics for three days, during which Stanton Corporation's and Ferguson Corporation's stocks soared to such heights because of Nicole's hype alone. Everyone was envious.

Many high society ladies followed in Nicole's footsteps and intentionally got paparazzi to sneak shots of them. They also wanted to use this opportunity to become bigwigs in the business and entertainment circles.

Unfortunately, none of them created much of a splash.

Every time one was photographed, it would be brought out and compared with Nicole.

[How can they be so shameless to buy the trending topics with that figure? Do they think that we're stupid?]

[They can't even compare to our career-focused President Nicole!]

[These high-society ladies should just concentrate on spending money. How can commoners like us afford such big diamonds? They even hired people to create fake accounts to compliment them saying that they're

goddesses on earth. Do they think that we're blind?]

Thus, when the board proposed to let Nicole wear their new product for street photography again, she refused.

Nicole did not want to use the same method a second time because being too deliberate would only turn people away.

Thus, for some time, Nicole purposely avoided the possibility of being on camera. She would also let Grant attend some public occasions in her stead.

Ferguson Corporation.

Just as in the past, Old Master Ferguson would go to the office every once in a while, to show his face. One reason for it was to remind the old shareholders to abide by the rules. The second reason was to keep an eye on Eric's movements.

The spies that he had placed around Eric at the beginning were almost gone.

As time passed, the old man felt like he was losing control over Ferguson Corporation, let alone his grandson.

However, Old Master Ferguson still had some power in the company, so no one dared to neglect him.

When Eric came out of a meeting, Mitchell reported that Old Master Ferguson was waiting for him in his office.

Eric wrinkled his eyebrows and walked in.

"Grandpa, why did you come over?"

Old Master Ferguson's eyes were shrewd and sharp as he looked at his grandson and grunted. "We have reached an unprecedented level of cooperation with Stanton Corporation? Why didn't I know about such a good thing?"

He threw the magazine on the table.

Whether it was the online media or the newspapers and magazines, all of them covered the cooperation between Ferguson Corporation and Stanton Corporation, which was made to sound like the strongest union in the business world.

Eric put one hand in his pocket. His gaze was dark and gloomy for a moment. "Don't you know now?"

"Nonsense!"

Old Master Ferguson was exasperated by Eric's attitude.

"Since Nicole mentioned the cooperation between both our companies to the public and didn't avoid the gossip between you two, it means that you still have a chance. Since you don't want to consider other women, then you need to marry Nicole again."

Old Master Ferguson unapologetically stated his purpose of coming this time.

Originally, Old Master Ferguson had given up on the Stanton family, but a simple photo of Nicole could make Ferguson Corporation's stock skyrocket, which showed that this woman's potential should not be underestimated.

If Nicole married into another affluent family, they would become Ferguson Corporation's rival. Instead of this, Old Master Ferguson would rather Nicole marry into the Ferguson family.

Hearing this, Eric's face turned a little dark. He laughed lightly.

"Now that the Harrison family is out of the game, you're setting your eyes on the Stanton family again? You sure change your allegiance fast!"

Before this, Old Master Ferguson was busy introducing Eric to various high-society ladies for a marriage alliance. Since Ivy Harrison's scandal was public knowledge, Old Master Ferguson changed his mind just like a businessman.

Old Master Ferguson was so angry that his face turned red. "Bastard! I'm just doing this for your sake! Do you not want to marry her anymore? Did you give up on her?"

Eric fell silent.

Old Master Ferguson's tone softened. "This is the best of both worlds. I'll make this marriage happen even if I have to risk my reputation."

Eric's eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze was cold and sullen. "No need. Don't interfere in my affairs with

her."

Eric knew very well that once others intervened, it would only make Nicole more resistant.

Old Master Ferguson laughed coldly. "I won't embarrass us by going to the Stantons. I'm just here to give you a suggestion."
