Nicole's words were a slap in the face for the Fergusons. When she was married to Eric Ferguson, the Fergusons were afraid that she spent a penny more of their money.
Now that she was divorced, Old Master Ferguson wanted to give her an expensive New Year's gift?
That was a little too ridiculous.
The old man also heard the taunt in Nicole’s words. His expression changed dramatically, and the furrow between his eyebrows deepened.
Just when Nicole thought that he would burst out in anger, Old Master Ferguson laughed.
"We're family, so there's no such thing as taking advantage. You're still too young, child.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she did not intend to look into the old man's change in attitude.
She glanced at Clayton, who tacitly went forward to hold her waist gently.
"Let's go in. Goodbye, Chairman Ferguson.”
Nicole and Clayton's interaction was intimate and was very piercing to Old Master Ferguson.
'Clayton Sloan? Hah! What kind of person dares to compare with Eric?' The old man beckoned to
someone, who immediately came forward.
"Get Eric to hurry up and come to the auction."
His subordinate immediately understood. "Yes, sir."
Nicole was feeling a hint of discomfort because of that hand behind her back, but she still had a faint smile plastered on her face.
Once inside, Clayton withdrew his hand very decently and touched her gently with his arm.
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and smiled tacitly as she took his arm.
They stood in the dim light. The whole venue looked mysterious and grand.
Only a beam of light in the middle could be seen hitting the cylindrical podium.
The distance made it easy to see the auction items clearly, but it also carried an expensive sense of distance.
It started in less than five minutes.
In total, there were only three auction items.
The first was an antique vase from the 16th century that looked well-treasured with a strong sense of history.
This was unsurprisingly taken by Old Master Ferguson, who always liked to collect these valuable antiques.
The second item was a bidding contract.
This was getting interesting.
Nicole raised her eyebrows.
A contract that won the bid but was transferred again came with both risks and benefits.
