Read Chapter 738 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
It turned out that this was why Eric did not make a move. He was investigating everything clearly. Nicole’s reaction was very calm. “I’m just helping a friend.”
She closed the laptop and unplugged the flash drive. “I’ll get Ian to thank you properly.” This had nothing to do with her anyway.
Eric’s handsome and serious face held a light smile. His voice was frigid. “No need. Ian’s elder brother was my brother in arms. I won’t stand by and watch their family fall. I hope that the incompetent Ian will grow a brain. What is his use if he can’t even keep this little bit of assets?” Nicole had nothing to say.
She almost forgot that Eric had such a relationship with the Carter family. “Then you came here…”
’Is it just to give me the flash drive? This is too much of a roundabout way, right?’ Nicole thought. Eric’s gaze shifted to her reflection. “I’m just finding a reason to see you.” How direct! Eric was really outstanding.
His eyes were so deep and filled with strong affection, so within a few seconds, Nicole withdrew her gaze. She ignored Eric’s words and said, “Let’s go down for dinner…”
Nicole felt goosebumps all over her body. ’Can’t he be more restrained?!’ The butler told the maids to set the table. Kai was downstairs video calling someone. Nicole heard the voice and knew that it was Julie.
The camera angle shifted. Julie saw Nicole and Eric, who was right behind her. She was shocked.
However, Kai was unmoved and showed Julie the dishes on the dining table. “Jules, I’ll bring you over next time. The fish my dad caught are very fresh! I’ll ask him to catch a few more so that you can take some home too!” Floyd kicked Kai from behind.
“You’re using your dad as a tool for you to get a girl?”
Kai hung up the call and smiled as he went over to pull out the chair for his father. “Dad, don’t make a big fuss. It’s no big deal…”
Nicole and Eric went over and sat on both sides of Floyd. Kai consciously took his seat at last. Eric was well-behaved during the dinner and answered all of Floyd’s questions, so it was not an awkward dinner.
Kai was eating by himself. He peeled the shrimp and occasionally put a few onto Nicole’s plate. Nicole bowed her head and ate seriously.
The two of them were the only ones actually eating. When Nicole’s plate was empty, Eric reached over and placed a plate of peeled shrimp in front of her.
Nicole was stunned and raised her eyes. Eric looked at her as if nothing had happened, smiled, and continued to answer Floyd’s questions. Kai did not care about Eric. Seeing so many peeled shrimps in front of Nicole, Kai simply took the full plate for himself. “Did you forget what I told you? Eating too much shrimp will increase your cholesterol levels…” Nicole rolled her eyes. ’Whatever… Now he feels justified?’
Kai bowed his head to eat and felt a cold line of sight on him, but when he looked up, no one was paying attention to him.
Maybe he felt it wrong. After dinner, Eric finally left. Kai accompanied Floyd to watch a TV series while Nicole went to the study to contact Ian.
Early the next morning.
Nicole had Logan send the flash drive to Ian.
In just one morning, everyone heard about the news that Carter Corporation’s shareholder, Terrence Zabel, embezzled the company’s assets and impersonated Chairman Carter’s signature and handwriting. Ian deliberately made a big deal out of it so that Terrence would be infamous and would have no chance to make a comeback.
The court sentenced Terrence and his daughter, Adeline Zabel, to prison.
However, Terrence coddled Adeline and took on all the responsibility himself. After Adeline was released, she ran to Caner Corporation to settle the score with Ian.
Adeline did not get to see Ian and was stopped outside and kicked out by Ian’s bodyguards. In a fit of anger, Adeline went to the “club” where she frequented to get drunk and fool around with a gigolo who resembled Ian. When Terrence learned this news, he fainted in prison.
