The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 39
Nicole thought, ‘So that’s how it is…he’s already a shareholder, huh? I just didn’t expect Eric Ferguson
had set his eyes on the field of artificial intelligence for so long.’
If Gerard Lichman did not take the initiative to tell Nicole this, Nicole would not have been able to find
out. The fact that he told her this information also proved that he genuinely wanted to cooperate with her.
Although Nicole was not happy about Eric’s involvement, she had a clear mind and separated her
personal affairs and business well. She would not give up on this opportunity.
Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled. “With Ferguson Corporation’s strength, you can very well enjoy the
fruits of this cooperation by yourself. Why do you need a third party to get involved?“
She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Eric.
“After all, this is a brand new field that no one’s involved in, so Ferguson Corporation cannot take this risk
alone.“
The man’s voice was deep and clear. The corners of his lips hooked up. “It won’t be a wrong move for
Stanton Corporation to choose J&L. I hope we’ll have a pleasant cooperation.“
He raised his glass with his slender and beautiful hand. Gerard Lichman clinked his glass with Eric’s and
the two men waited for Nicole’s response.
Since there was no other choice, Nico le could only smile faintly and coldly as she gently raised her
glass. The soft clink of the glasses was crisp and pleasant. Everything was settled.
Even though Nicole was not happy about it, there was no way out. Her chest felt stuffy and unpleasant.
Gerard breathed a sigh of relief and noticed the tense atmosphere between the two of them. He tried to
ease the situation and said, ”Why don’t you two take the first dance as the opening to our anniversary
celebration? I think this is undoubtedly the best way to announce our cooperation.”
Eric frowned slightly. Nico le chuckled and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears. She smiled
perfunctorily and said, ”Sorry, but I don’t know how to dance.”
After saying that, she turned on her heels and left, ignoring Eric’s cold and sullen gaze.
Gerard shrugged his shoulders and said, ”It’s just one dance, but she’s not even willing to. It seems that
our future cooperation won’t be very pleasant. Mr. Ferguson, you’ re the first among the elites that have
such a messy divorce.”
Eric’s face sank as he stared at Nicole’s swaying dress. His expression turned even more downcast.
‘Don’t know how to dance? Hah ! Then was I blind back at Ian Carter’s restaurant?’
However, Eric suddenly thought of Colton’s words and felt the anger in his chest dissipate. Instead, his
heart clenched uncomfortably. ‘I really owe her too much…’
Even if Nicole was upset, she still maintained a graceful smile. When she got downstairs, Grant
approached her with a warm smile. “Done?“
Nicole’s dull expression seemed somewhat cold without the joy of closing a deal. This made Grant a little
puzzled.
“Eric Ferguson is a shareholder, so Gerard Lichman asked for a three-way cooperation, “ Nicole
explained.
Grant paused for a moment and finally understood why Nicole looked so cold. He smiled and stroked her
hair dotingly and gently. “It’s okay. That just means we have someone to share the risks with. The
benefits in this certainly outweigh the disadvantages.“
