The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 529 Borrow His Room

Ivy saw the cold and indifferent Nicole and felt her heart turn sour. She quietly pinched her skirt and gritted her teeth in forbearance.

Eric's eyes only had warmth when she arrived.

However, Ivy did not want to admit defeat and leave s o wretchedly like this.

At least, there was still hope for her as long as Eric and Nicole were not married.

Even if she was an illegitimate daughter and a fake, as long as she was acknowledged by the Harrison family, she was the Harrison family's Second Young Lady.

Ivy took a deep breath and looked at Mitchell pitifully. "Can I borrow Mr. Ferguson's room to wash my face?"

She would stay a little longer until Nicole left. If Eric saw her inside his office, he would not be able to remain indifferent.

Mitchell stood there in embarrassment. "I'm afraid not. No one is allowed to use President Ferguson's private space. Why don't you go to the washroom outside, Ms. Harrison?" Ivy froze. She did not expect to be rejected.

Her face turned from white to red and extremely glum. She could only smile perfunctorily and agree with Mitchell before hurriedly leaving.

In the meeting room.

Gerard could not help but tease Eric who was following him. "Mr. Ferguson, you're really popular with the ladies, but your words are too harsh. Who would be able to stand you?"

Eric glanced at Nicole, but she was indifferent.

He sighed in relief.

"If you feel bad for her, then bring her home."

He retorted at Gerard.

Gerard touched his nose. "I have a wife..."

Nicole tapped on the table. "Let's get to business. I have an appointment later."

Gerard raised his eyebrows. "The Al car chip we developed was sent to Europe, but an accident happened when the European Autopilot Research Institute conducted its third test."

The air froze for a moment.

Eric's eyes narrowed slightly, and Nicole also looked intently at Gerard.

This project was a derivative of the three companies' first cooperation. After opening the door for Al in the medical field, the follow-up research had attracted worldwide attention.

Failure was tantamount to a blow to the head.

Gerard passed a flash drive to Mitchell, who projected the data onto the big screen as quickly as possible.

It was the whole video of the test. From the excitement at the beginning to the applause and cheers towards the end, everything went very smoothly.

However...

The next second, the car seemed to go out of control after a perfect right-angle turn and crashed straight into the wall of an abandoned factory.

Smoke covered the shouts of panic. After the car collided with the wall, the hood of the car became deformed. The wall toppled and collapsed, and the debris smashed onto the roof of the car with the researcher inside.

The video stopped.

The frame in the final moment was truly shocking.

Nicole's pupils shrank slightly as she subconsciously turned to Gerard.

Someone died?!

Gerard sighed and said with a grave face, "The researcher was taken to the hospital and is out of danger, but the risk of this experiment has caused discontent among the public in Europe. They're demanding that our entry qualifications be banned. It's very unfavorable to us."

Eric was silent, his face cold and deep.

"What was the reason?"

Nicole also wanted to know.

Gerard said, "The test car is completely controlled by the Al chip, and it doesn't have a manual operation function that other cars have. Therefore, the possibility of improper human interference is ruled out. The problem lies in the chip, but the chip has been left to the European forensics authority for investigation, so I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to get it back..."

Nicole looked at Eric, who pursed his lips. "I'll solve this problem. If it's a problem with the chip, we might have suffered a setback when it comes to unmanned driving.
