Eric lowered his head, and his shoulders slumped.
“You can come up with any conditions you want as compensation.”
Seeing Eric like this, Nicole was speechless for a while.
Nicole did not mind confronting Eric if he insisted on keeping this under wraps.
However, Eric compromised so easily.
Nicole pursed her lips. Although Quinn brought this onto herself and deserved it, Quinn received her punishment.
Eric was also unaware of it.
Nicole thought about it for a while, then she looked at him coldly and said blankly, “Well, I don’t mind keeping this matter from the public, but you must tell the police because I’m not sure if Mrs. Ferguson will continue to find trouble with me after she wakes up. So, it’s better to let the police handle it. But I won’t disclose it to the media. Of course, if there are any comments online related to this matter, you’ll have to deal with it yourself. We won’t intervene.”
She was willing to compromise, but she would not help Eric to hide this from the police.
Quinn was not dead. Even if Quinn became paralyzed, she could hire a hitman to find trouble with Nicole.
If Nicole wanted to pursue responsibility for this car accident in the future, perhaps Eric would have already destroyed the evidence by then, and it would be too late.
Thus, Nicole wanted the police to be aware of what Quinn had done.
Even though Nicole knew that the police would not send a paralyzed person to jail, they would at least put Quinn on surveillance.
Nicole would not allow Quinn to escape legal punishment.
After she said this, the room was silent.
The light from outside shone through the windows, and the air was cold from the breeze.
It was the beginning of fall.
Eric nodded silently and pursed his lips.
“Well, as long as you don’t disclose this matter to the media, I’ll handle the rest.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows and nodded.
She glanced at Clayton, who patted her hand with a smile.
“In that case, we won’t bother you any longer, Mr. Ferguson. We’ve paid a visit to Mrs. Ferguson since she was hospitalized, and we hope she can recover soon.”
Clayton’s high-sounding words were worthless to Eric.
Nicole stood up. “Take care, Mr. Ferguson.”
As she said this, she lifted her foot and walked out.
When she opened the door, she saw someone rushing over and panting.
Nicole was slightly taken aback. “Ms. Nelson?”
“Ms. Stanton? You’re here, too? Oh, and your husband…”
Selena was a little surprised when she saw the couple here.
Nicole was even more surprised.
Why did Selena come here?
Clayton nodded calmly with a smile and opened the door for Selena politely.
“Are you here to visit? We have to get going. See you next time.”
“Goodbye.”
Selena smiled and waved to them before she knocked on the door.
Clayton held Nicole and walked toward the elevator.
Nicole could not figure it out for a moment.
However, she remembered that Eric also saved Selena in the bar back then. Maybe the two of them started to interact more since.
Nicole immediately understood.
The couple stood in the elevator.
Clayton smiled and lowered his head to ask her, “Why did you show him mercy?”
Nicole looked at Clayton and pursed her lips.
“I didn’t really… The police will deal with it. Why make the situation worse than it already is? If word gets out, Stanton Corporation may be implicated!”
Clayton was silent for a moment before he said in a low and aggrieved voice, “I thought you were soft-hearted because of him…”
The corner of Nicole’s mouth twitched.
“He didn’t know about this either, so there’s no need to make it big. Also, when you went missing, he helped me a lot. If he hadn’t contacted George back then, I wouldn’t have been able to find you.”
