Roland agreed with what Jeff said.
Not to mention that no one in the Stanton family dared to reprimand Nicole’s daughter, even those who cooperated with Stanton Corporation or Sloan Corporation did not dare to criticize Nicole’s precious daughter.
Moreover, Chatty was Clayton’s darling daughter.
Eric was too senseless to say that.
He and Nicole were not even together, but Eric had prematurely gotten into the “stepfather” character.
Roland really regretted not taking Chatty away earlier.
It was so unfortunate that they met Eric.
However, when Eric heard Jeff’s words, his expression turned cold instantly.
“Are you lecturing me?”
“I’m correcting your thoughts. Not to mention, she’s such a well-behaved and sensible child. Mr. Ferguson, you’ll only scare her.”
Jeff held Chatty in his arms. They looked so close as if they were really father and daughter.
This deeply hurt Eric’s heart.
Chance was as timid as a mouse and did not dare to get close to him. He did not care about Angie’s son either, but he treated Chatty as his own child and wanted to give her the best of everything in the future. However, Chatty did not like him at the moment.
Eric was not even as likable as a man in a wheelchair.
Eric thought, ‘No, Jeff is just too good at deceiving others. He tricked Nicole into pushing the wheelchair for him. Now, he’s lying to a child who’s not even three years old yet. His intentions must be malicious!’
Eric’s gaze deepened a little as he looked at Jeff in dissatisfaction.
“I’m afraid you’re thinking too much and you’re too nosy. I don’t need others to teach me how to behave.”
After speaking, Eric eased his expression and smiled gently at Chatty.
He reached out to her. “Come, Chatty. Come to Uncle. I’m not a stranger, and I’ll take you to play!”
Chatty was lying on Jeff’s shoulder, unmoved. She firmly rejected Eric with a soft voice, “No, I want Daddy!”
Jeff smiled, which looked like an eyesore to Eric.
Eric pursed his lips. His voice unconsciously deepened.
“He’s not your daddy. Your daddy is dead.”
Roland looked up at Eric in shock and wished that he could quickly step forward to cover Chatty’s ears.
However, Jeff was one step ahead of Roland.
Jeff covered Chatty’s ears. His warm eyes quickly turned cold, and he raised his gloomy eyes to stare at Eric.
Jeff was sitting in a wheelchair while Eric stood there condescendingly.
It was evident who was superior.
However, at this time, Jeff’s temperament did not lose to Eric’s in the slightest.
The morbid paleness and weakness around Jeff faded a little and were replaced by coldness and anger, so much so that the air around them seemed stagnant.
The salty sea breeze outside blew through the window, and the silent and raging waves did not seem to move at this moment.
However, Chatty already heard what Eric said.
She stared at Eric angrily. Her beautiful big eyes were overflowing with tears.
“I hate you! Go away! I won’t allow you to bully my daddy!”
Chatty looked at Roland and said with a commanding tone that was soft and weak.
“Uncle Roland, kick him out now! I don’t want to see him. Otherwise, I’ll ask Daddy to fire you too!”
Chatty would always protect her father and would never back down.
Roland’s face froze. He knew what were the consequences of this young lady’s anger.
