In fact, Cheryl and Ingrid met at Old Master Ferguson’s funeral.
Cheryl followed Gerard to the Ferguson Villa.
Since Quinn could not make it back to Atlanta, the matron of the house was not there to welcome them. Thus, the servants settled them down at the side hall.
However, Cheryl could not sit still.
Cheryl saw Ingrid dressed in black clothes, sneakily following Mitchell to the back building.
She was astonished.
After Mitchell left, Ingrid went upstairs and locked the room.
Cheryl only realized what happened when Ingrid lit the curtains, sofa, and other flammable items on fire.
She came to a realization that Ingrid wanted to trap Eric's son in a fire.
Cheryl saw hatred, pleasure, indifference, and forbearance in Ingrid's eyes.
She did not understand why Ingrid would hate a child so much.
The fire burned for a long time before it reached the second floor.
Suddenly, there was an urgent rapping coming from the second floor. Chance was calling for help.
Ingrid laughed happily.
Cheryl saw someone rushing over through the window.
That person who rushed over was Nicole.
For some reason, Cheryl rushed in and brought Ingrid out.
That was why Nicole did not see anyone when she got there. Ingrid had escaped.
Afterward, Ingrid asked Cheryl what she wanted as a token of gratitude.
Cheryl said, "I want to marry Eric Ferguson."
She was very blunt and straightforward.
Since she had something on Ingrid, she was not afraid that Ingrid would laugh at her wishful thinking.
Ingrid looked at her for a long time before nodding with a smile.
"So many women flock to Eric, but you're the most suitable one."
Ingrid evaluated her.
After that, Ingrid asked Cheryl before she left the funeral.
"If you had time to save me, why didn't you stop me?”
Cheryl only smiled and did not answer.
Eric was so perfect, and his only regret was having this illegitimate child.
Cheryl was not a saint, nor was she stupid.
Who would want to be a stepmother?
Wouldn’t it be better if Ingrid could get rid of Eric’s son?
Unfortunately, their plan failed.
Eric's face was glum as he stared at Ingrid. They looked like they did not get along at all.
It was as if they were on the verge of fighting.
Their attitude toward each other was downright cold.
Seeing this, Cheryl smiled :h#?VNQ; said," Don't misunderstand, Mr. Ferguson. Ms. Ferguson came here because she cares about Chance. After all, she's Chance's aunt, so how could she not worry? Ms. Ferguson and I were together just now, so we stopped by."
There were not many opportunities for Cheryl to meet Eric.
Thus, Cheryl wanted to establish a gentle and kind image in front of Eric.
Eric looked at her coldly and frowned deeply.
“Who are you?"
Cheryl's face froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
“Mr. Ferguson, you might not remember me, but we were together at the auction that day. I'm Gerard Lichman's sister, Cheryl."
Before she could finish speaking, Eric stared at Ingrid impatiently.
“You'd better leave as soon as possible. I don't care what your motives are, but you'd better stop thinking about it. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless!”
Ingrid sneered. She suddenly exploded as if Eric had hit a nerve in her.
