The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 868 Back Down

Mitchell looked at Eric tentatively, his voice not as excited anymore.

"Although the Old Master hasn't signed it yet, he has verbally agreed."

This was not good news for Eric.

He could fully take control of Ferguson Corporation, and there would never be any shareholder attempting to force him out again in the future. However, he had lost the pillar of the Ferguson family. Old Master Ferguson had truly loved him in the past.

Now, he did not even want to think of him as an outsider.

It must not feel good to be betrayed by one's closest relative.

Furthermore, it was a family member who he had supported.

Mitchell knew Eric very well. Eric looked like he was a t odds with Old Master Ferguson, and they were incompatible with each other.

However, at the bottom of Eric's heart, he really had no intention of dealing with Old Master Ferguson.

Eric only wanted to cut off Old Master Ferguson's methods of targeting Nicole.

Everything else, such as the Old Master's shares, power, and status, Eric simply did not care about.

The Old Master would rather sell the shares of the Ferguson Corporation to an outsider than leave it to the Ferguson family because he hated Eric.

As long as they stayed in the Ferguson family, the shares would sooner or later come into Eric's hands.

That was why even if he was nurturing the enemy and inviting a wolf into the house, he was not willing to give Eric the advantage.

How ridiculous!

Eric was the child Old Master Ferguson raised, yet he no longer had the power to deal with Eric.

"President."

Mitchell hesitated to speak.

Eric's cold eyes glanced at him and said in a low voice, "What is it?"

Mitchell said, "Why don't you back down?"

As soon as he spoke, he felt Eric's cold and gloomy eyes instantly deepen, staring at him in dead silence.

Mitchell steeled his nerves and explained.

"President, in the end, Old Master Ferguson is still your family. It's not that he doesn't care about you, but he lost his temper and needed a way out. If you really fall out with him, although the rest of the Ferguson family won't say anything to you, they'll secretly point fingers at you....."

How could Eric be so ruthless to an elder who had personally raised him?

What would they think of Eric?

If Eric got into trouble one day, there was no guarantee that they would not take advantage and harm him.

Eric's methods had always been highly effective and decisive. It was a good thing.

However, if used on his own family, it would be more than shocking, yet it would also cause him to lose their sympathy.

Mitchell had thought long and hard before he mustered up the courage to say these words.

A long while passed.

Eric's voice was low and cold. "You don't need to care about this."

Now that they had gone to this step, Eric had no intention to play the role of a dutiful son or a virtuous grandson.

If they could behave themselves, he would not make things hard for them.

If they kept stirring up trouble, he would not show mercy.

Why should he consider their kinship?

For Eric, he grew up learning that interests should always take precedent.

Mitchell sighed. He should have expected it.

"Well... Wade Dorsey has already sneaked in on behalf of Cyndro International. If all goes well, he'll be signing the contract tomorrow morning, and there'll be movements from the Old Master in the afternoon.'

This was also the last chance.

Once the loss was really finalized, the two of them would turn against each other!

Eric's face was cold and deep, and his eyes were dark.

"Do your best to cooperate with whatever he wants to do. Go."

"Understood."

Mitchell withdrew and pulled himself together. He had to make sure that the matter was settled flawlessly.

Although he was an employee of Ferguson Corporation, he was directly appointed by Eric, so Ferguson Corporation could not restrain him.

As soon as he went out, he answered a phone call.

"Hello? Old Master Ferguson, the President has already made up his mind..."
