Seeing the oncoming person, Quinn’s eyes immediately turned red as she walked over emotionally. "Eric..."
"Brother, Nicole snatched away the pipe! That’s Grandpa’s favorite. If he can't find it, he'll surely make a big fuss!" Ingrid spoke in a panic.
Eric Ferguson stood in the doorway looking very tall and handsome. His body was half-hidden in the shadows as he stared at the people in the room with cold eyes.
"Shut up! How dare you steal from Grandpa?"
He spoke in a harsh tone and scolded Ingrid, who shuddered in fear and hid behind her mother, not daring to look up.
Behind Eric was the person in charge of this event, who stood there with trepidation. The organizer glanced at the staff on the side and asked, "Are the formalities done?"
"Yes, everything is settled.” The staff replied cautiously.
Since everything was done and dusted, Nicole was not afraid of anything. After all, their precious family heirloom was in her hands, so she could call the shots.
Nicole looked at Roman, who was next to her. "Let's g
o. We shouldn’t disturb their family reunion."
She did not even care to greet them and turned on her heels to leave.
"Nicole, you can't take it away," Eric spoke in a cold tone.
Quinn hurriedly added, "Yeah, we can't let her take it away!"
With her son’s presence, Quinn was no longer afraid and did not want to act in front of Nicole anymore.
Nicole raised her eyebrows, laughed, and raised the document in her hand. "Look, you don't have a say here. The emerald pipe is mine now."
She swept a glance at Eric's glum face and was in an inexplicably good mood!
"Mrs. Ferguson, you should just save your energy and think about how you'll explain this to Old Master Ferguson. I'm sure he’s very curious to know how his family heirloom appeared at a charity auction. I wonder what he'll do if he knew that this emerald pipe no longer belonged to him..."
Quinn's face was pale. She regretted hiding this from her father-in-law. She was afraid and frustrated as she could imagine the old man’s thunderous fit of anger. She might even get kicked out of the Ferguson family!
