Eric’s eyes were dark and sunken. He did not make a sound and saw Old Master Ferguson watching him from the second-floor railing.
He nodded slightly. Old Master Ferguson pursed his lips and said, "Come upstairs."
When he got to the study, Old Master Ferguson sat behind the desk. His face was cold and solemn.
"I've made myself very clear on the phone.”
"I don't agree with it."
Eric was straightforward.
Old Master Ferguson's face was glum and ugly. "If it wasn't for the Stanton family who's backing Nicole, I wouldn't have agreed for you to get back together with her. You almost lost your life for her, yet she's still indifferent towards you. What about the Ferguson family's reputation?!"
The atmosphere in the study was so cold and silent that it was frightening.
Eric was unfazed. His gaze was cold and firm.
"The Ferguson family's reputation is not as important as Nicole."
"What did you say?!"
Old Master Ferguson raised his voice all of a sudden. H e gasped violently and looked incredibly fierce.
Eric’s gaze was overwhelmingly dark and dense.
"I won't be with anyone but her. That woman outside will never be able to or much less deserve to be compared to her."
"Bang-"
Old Master Ferguson was so angry that he picked up a paperweight on the table and smashed it at Eric.
Eric did not dodge, so the paperweight hit his forehead. Blood flowed out profusely.
Old Master Ferguson panicked for a moment. Seeing Eric's indifferent appearance, Old Master Ferguson was angry and anxious.
It was all because of that woman!
Eric's body swayed slightly, but he managed to stand firm. He casually wiped away the blood from his wound and looked at Old Master Ferguson with a heavy gaze.
"If I can't make my own decision about my marriage, then you should change your successor to someone who you can control."
Anyway, with Eric's current status, even without the backing of the Ferguson family, those hidden forces behind him would only make it easier for him to take control over the Ferguson family than his current position.
After that, Eric coldly and calmly turned around and leaned on his cane as he left the study resolutely.
Those words were hard to hear, but he made his position very clear.
