Eric stood up straight and looked at the sky outside the window.
The sky was blue and dotted with fluffy white clouds.
At this time, there was no emotion in Eric’s eyes.
Ingrid was really scared.
Eric turned around, nodded at Mitchell, and walked out of the office on his own.
Mitchell stepped forward and looked at Ingrid with cold eyes, "Ms. Ferguson, please come with me."
The moment Eric gave up on his sister, Mitchell no longer needed to be polite to her.
After all, Ingrid was an idiot who offended everyone and looked down on Eric’s sidekick, Mitchell.
Mitchell was clear about what Ingrid did and would not plead for her.
Ingrid trembled all over. She also felt ashamed of herself.
She tugged on her skirt, but she could not hide the soiled parts.
Ingrid had never been so embarrassed all her life.
She had a lot of tears and snot on her face that she could not control.
Seeing Mitchell's icy expression as if he did not want to help her up, Ingrid felt even more frustrated.
In just a few minutes, all her plans fell through.
Her face was gloomy. Even after Eric left, her body was still trembling slightly.
Ingrid stood up with all her strength and held onto the chair beside her.
Mitchell looked at her and frowned slightly like he was very disgusted by Ingrid.
However, he thought of something and held back his expression.
"If you want to change your clothes, I'll get someone to take you out to change."
Mitchell implied that Ingrid could not change in Eric's office.
Eric was a germaphobe.
Not to mention Eric, even Mitchell could not stand the sight of Ingrid.
Ingrid's voice trembled as she said, "What is my brother going to do to me?"
Mitchell hooked his lips. "He's no longer your brother. You lost your brother the moment you planned to kill him."
Ingrid’s heart sank. She spoke in a panic.
"I was blinded by hatred for a while. I know I was
wrong. We're siblings, so he won't hate me forever."
Mitchell’s tone was cold:
"If your plan hadn't failed, Mr. Ferguson and Young Master Chance would've been dead. Why didn't you think of forever then?"
Ingrid gasped. She could see the change in Mitchell's attitude.
She broke out in a cold sweat.
Ingrid stood there, motionless.
Mitchell did not have much patience left.
He looked at the time. "You don’t want me to get someone to carry you away, right? If so, everyone will see your wretchedness..."
Ingrid's expression changed dramatically. The corners of her lips turned white.
"May I ask why Chance went to the hospital when Eric didn't die?"
Eric would not have been wary of a child, so Chance would definitely get to shoot him at close range.
What was more likely was that Eric would not even think the gun was real.
Therefore, in Ingrid’s plan, there was 100% fatality in Chance’s shot.
However, Ingrid just saw that Eric was well and alive. Eric did not look injured, let alone shot.
How did her plan fail?
Mitchell hooked his lips and looked at Ingrid pitifully.
However, Mitchell did not pity Ingrid much.
"Young Master Chance is different from his mother. He's kind-hearted and loves his father. Even though Mr. Ferguson isn't as affectionate to him as a typical father would, Young Master Chance knows how to be grateful, unlike you. No matter what, Young Master Chance won’t do anything heinous. But the silver lining in this is that Young Master Chance can finally talk when he questioned Mr. Ferguson earlier. That's why Mr. Ferguson sent him to the hospital."
