Chapter 405 He Entered by the Back Door www.noveljar.com

Within two rings, a cool and detached female voice came through. "Who is this? www.noveljar.com

"Are you Ms. Stanton? I'm Toto, the new butler in Imperial Gardens. I accidentally messed up your cosmetics when I was cleaning your room earlier. Mr. Ferguson said to throw them all away and buy new ones, but I don't understand the words on the bottles..."

Toto's tone was quite aggrieved. Nicole's cold and stern voice interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.

"Don't throw them away! I'll go back right now. I'll kill you if you dare to throw my things!" www.noveljar.com

Eric, who was in the study, frowned

deeply. He heard the voice outside the door loud and clear. www.noveljar.com

That simple?!

Nicole was not short of money or luxury items. Her cosmetics were all high-end formulas specially customized according to her skin and cost seven digits. Where would they buy new ones for her? www.noveljar.com

"Those two stupid men! www.noveljar.com

Nicole forgot that she did not want tog o back to Imperial Gardens. All she wanted was to rush back and check on her cosmetics.

She took her purse and returned to Imperial Gardens with Luca. www.noveljar.com

Nicole stopped for a few seconds at the door. www.noveljar.com

The place where Quinn bled profusely earlier when she left was spotless. www.noveljar.com

It was as if that episode never happened at all. www.noveljar.com

As long as they did not cause trouble for her, Nicole did not intend to pursue it. www.noveljar.com

After all, Eric saved her so many times. I fshe insisted on this, the Fergusons would not be very happy either.

The door suddenly opened. A fat, round man ran out and came up to Nicole while panting heavily. www.noveljar.com

"Ms. Stanton?" www.noveljar.com

His eyes squinted as he smiled. "I'm Toto, the new butler. You're so beautiful! You're even prettier than those celebrities. Your beauty is in a league of its own and simply beyond description..." www.noveljar.com

Nicole stood there, frozen. A person with perfect manners and courtesy like her did not know how to act when she

was praised by the fat man out of the blue. www.noveljar.com

Behind her, Luca finally grew impatient. "Are you done?

"Oh my! You must be Ms. Stanton's bodyguard. You really fit the role so well! Your aura is much stronger than ordinary people. I heard that you've won the national championship several times. Gosh, you're so amazing..." www.noveljar.com

Luca was speechless. www.noveljar.com

Nicole laughed out loud. "Where did Mr. Ferguson find a butler like you? You're also in a league of your own..."

Then, Nicole strode inside.

Her ears almost fell off from all the compliments he fed her. www.noveljar.com

Nicole saw Eric sitting in the living room, looking at documents. His eyes were as cold and calm as always. www.noveljar.com Hearing the footsteps, Eric's eyebrows twitched slightly. He quietly looked up a ther. The corners of his lips curled up into a gentle smile.

"You're back?" www.noveljar.com

Nicole frowned. 'How could he act as if nothing had happened?' www.noveljar.com

Before she could speak, Eric preemptively explained.

"The nanny has already been sent away and will never appear in front of you again. As for my mother... I'm really sorry, but she's my mother after all. The doctor said that she might have some mental illness, so I'll send her to a sanatorium to recuperate after she gets better. The same thing will never happen again." www.noveljar.com

His voice was low and apologetic. www.noveljar.com

Under his cold complexion was a hint of

tension that could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried. www.noveljar.com

That was because Quinn was the person who gave birth to him. Out of ethics and morality, Eric could not drive her out as he did to others. 1

What he could do was to make sure that Quinn would never appear in front of Nicole again. www.noveljar.com

The seconds ticked by. It was just a few seconds, but it felt like a few centuries had passed. www.noveljar.com

Nicole chuckled softly. "You're very pragmatic, Mr. Ferguson. Aren't you going to blame me for speaking out of turn, which in turn provoked her?"

Eric's lips pulled in self-deprecation." What you said were facts,"

He did not have any reason to blame

Nicole. www.noveljar.com

Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. "Since it's all in the past, I won't hold her responsible. Let bygones be bygones."

Eric snapped his head up. There seemed to be a dim light flashing in his eyes. www.noveljar.com

He did not expect Nicole to let this go so easily. www.noveljar.com

Behind them, Toto excitedly came forward and clapped his hands. www.noveljar.com

"Oh my! Such a good thing calls for a celebration! I just made some stew that's delicious and low in calories. Would you like to try some? www.noveljar.com
