Lucy thought, 'Mr. Ferguson wants to send me to the Philippines?! That'd be torture compared with my workload now! Will I still be able to come back? Did he hear what I said on the call earlier?'
Her panic spread from the soles of her feet to the top o f her head as she trembled.
She knew very well how fond Eric was of Nicole now. Eric was also a man of his word.
Lucy quickly called Quinn and pleaded in tears.
In less than an hour, Quinn rushed over in a rage.
She just so happened to bump into Nicole, who was planning to go out shopping.
Quinn entered the door fuming. Without a second thought, she pointed at Nicole and scolded, "You vixen! You’re already divorced yet you’re still seducing my son?! We let you reconcile, but you're pretending to be unhappy and unwilling, yet here you are now! How shameless can you be?"
Nicole looked at Quinn with a cold gaze. Sure enough, Quinn was as loathsome as ever!
"Mrs. Ferguson, I hope that you'll be a bit more respectful with your words. Don't think that I'll give in to you just because you're older." 1
Quinn turned livid. Nicole simply had no manners!
She was used to bossing Nicole around in the past. She thought that Nicole would not retaliate, but Nicole did. Quinn found that she could not fight against Nicole at all.
Quinn found it most unacceptable that a woman like Nicole actually dared to go against her.
Lucy hurriedly went over to Quinn and wept.
"Madam, Mr. Ferguson wants to send me off to the Philippines. You have to help me..."
Quinn sneered and looked at Lucy.
"Don't worry. With me around, no one will be able to send you away. You can stay here with confidence. Even if a certain someone doesn't want to see you, you can stay anyway!"
Nicole rolled her eyes. 'Did Quinn have some sort of persecutory delusions? Did she think that I requested Lucy to leave?'
However, Nicole was not bothered to explain, let alone waste time here with an old shrew.
Nicole took her purse and got ready to leave.
However, Quinn did not plan on letting Nicole leave so easily.
She stepped forward to stop Nicole. "Nicole, I'm warning you. Don't try to do anything to my son. Do you think that no one knows what you're up to?"
Nicole raised an eyebrow. "What am I up to?"
