Nicole thought, ‘If I wasn’t Floyd Stanton’s daughter, I would’ve died many times over!’Keith’s face flushed red. ‘I’m such a wimp! But… I don’t have a choice… I’m guilty as charged…’“Then what do you want?” Keith asked.‘I was clearly out of my mind back then to offend Nicole!’ He thought.Nicole looked out the window and felt impatient.She walked up to him slowly and said in a cold and playful voice, “Don’t you just care about your nudes? I’ll count to three. If you don’t disappear from my sight within three seconds, I’ll make you a viral sensation online by the fourth second!”Keith stiffened as Nicole scoffed.As soon as she finished her sentence, Keith turned around and ran as he begged for mercy. “Don’t… Don’t be impulsive!”Sure enough, he vanished within three seconds.Nicole sneered and rolled her eyes, then strutted away in her high heels.Once she got out of the bar, she saw someone standing next to her car.She looked up and saw that it was none other than Eri

At this time, the public opinion on the internet was overwhelming. Everyone was pointing fingers at the Fergusons for bullying the weak.However, the Ferguson family did not reply on the cusp of this storm. After all, they would look guilty if they took a stand too early.The Ferguson Villa.The villa was brightly lit in the night. Everyone inside, except for Old Master Ferguson, dared not breathe too loudly.Back then when Stanton Corporation’s share prices plummeted, Grant Stanton had singlehandedly managed to reclaim the situation.This evening, the stock market had taken a different direction that was not optimistic for the Fergusons.Old Master Ferguson’s face was glum and extremely bitter. He was furious and even more exasperated when he learned that Eric had not returned home.“Where the hell is he?!” Old Master Ferguson asked the butler as he thumped his cane on the ground fiercely.The butler replied with trepidation. “Young Master can’t be reached at the moment. His c

When Eric thought of the image of Nicole walking under the streetlight with her head full of blood and her back looking so cold and lonely, his heart could not help but ache at that moment.He knew that he owed her too much and that there was no way he could repay her.Old Master Ferguson glared at him. “If I wanted to apologize, why would I still be so angry? This apology would just confirm that we slandered her! Our stocks and company’s reputation will go down the drain!”Ingrid Ferguson echoed on the side, “Yeah, why should we apologize? We can just settle with them privately. There’s no need to risk our family’s reputation. So what if she’s Floyd Stanton’s daughter? Is she superior to everyone? We didn’t force her to marry into our family, nor did we force her to get a divorce, so why should we humiliate ourselves?”If they apologized, Ingrid’s name in the gentry circle would become a laughing stock! She would not be able to continue mingling with them and would certainly be mo

Stanton Corporation.Inside the meeting room.The crowd looked at the big shots sitting at the head of the conference table. Floyd Stanton sat there lazily while getting some shuteye as he assuredly left Grant to preside over this meeting.Grant said a few opening remarks and started to introduce Nicole.Nicole let down her hair in front of her forehead to hide the wound from last night’s accident so that it would not look so conspicuous.“I believe that everyone here already knows that Nicole is my father’s daughter and my sister. She’s also the largest shareholder of Stanton Corporation now. Therefore, I hereby announce that Nicole Stanton will be the Chief Executive Officer of Stanton Corporation effective immediately. I believe everyone has no opinions on this, right?”The largest commanding shareholder!The total number of shares from everyone present was not even comparable to Nicole’s shares. Thus, no one dared to have any opinion on this.In hindsight, many directors pr

Gerard Lichman was delighted to learn that Nicole was coming over in person and gave her a call. “President Nicole, please bring the little traitor when you come over. Everyone misses it!”Nicole responded. “Sure, no problem!”This way, Nicole could kill two birds with one stone! She could rely on Tigger to capture the hearts of J&L’s team and she would not feel so bored over there. Nicole buried herself in work until the evening when the streetlights came on and as stars dotted the night sky.She stretched her back and took her purse. Seeing that Grant’s office light was still on, she felt a little guilty because she had it too easy as the CEO, especially compared to her big brother.Nicole knocked on the door and poked her head in, smiling at the person who was still in a video conference. He calmly listened to the other party’s report in a foreign language and meticulously caught all the key points. He glanced at her and pointed to a seat, then continued the meeting.She sp

Nicole giggled and went up to Maverick.“Mav, please do me a favor as a gift instead...”“What is it?”“I have a project that involves artificial intelligence. Since you’re the best expert there is, can you please help me with a part of it?”Nicole sucked up to her second brother.Maverick was a national treasure! If she asked him to join the project, it was indeed a little wasteful of his talent.However, on second thought, it would also be a waste not to make full use of her genius brother!Maverick nodded. “Sure. I have a month’s vacation. Is that enough?”“Of course, it’s enough!”Nicole took the bank card from Maverick and waved it in his face. “Then I’ll take this too. Thanks, Mav!”Maverick was speechless.Not far away, two tall men were walking side by side behind the Stanton siblings. They came to poach an international talent, so they waited there by themselves all night.‘Why hasn’t the assistant sent any photos yet?’ Keith Ludwig thought.Keith looked at the wo

Keith Ludwig sighed. “Tsk, tsk… We don’t have a chance anymore. The Great God Maverick and Nicole actually know each other and even have such a good relationship!”The news of Maverick’s return was confidential. To be precise, his itinerary was completely classified.That was because his identity was too sensitive.They spent a lot of money on the international black market just to buy information about Maverick’s flight, and it was gone just like that!Eric looked at Keith coldly and left.Maverick and Nicole went back to the Stanton mansion.Before they got out of the car, they heard the butler ordering a maid to clean up the garden tomorrow as well as Kai’s wailing and Floyd’s angry roar coming from the living room.Maverick stood in the doorway for a moment and looked at Nicole.“Find a place for me, somewhere quiet, preferably with no one living around it.”Nicole blinked and subconsciously blurted out, “A haunted house?”“That’s fine too.”‘It’s fine as long as no huma

“Molly likes you a lot, so she must’ve uploaded your information into Tigger’s brain, hence this reaction. By the way, she’s also in J&L’s research team, so you’ll be able to meet her in a while.”Maverick nonchalantly tossed Tigger to Nicole, who carefully caught it.“Tigger, let’s go see Molly!”“I want The Great God to hold me…” Tigger struggled in Nicole’s arms and asked aggrievedly.Nicole could never refuse any of its requests, so she caught up to Maverick. “Second Brother…”Maverick was used to seeing such AI robots and was clearly not as obsessed as Nicole because he did not have much emotion to things he could manufacture. For him, it was just a machine.When they arrived at J&L’s lab, Tigger immediately became the crowd’s focus.“Little Traitor, did you miss us?”Tigger held his head high and gave a haughty grunt. “Who are you people?”The crowd was speechless.After that, someone took Tigger to Molly Stewart. Gerard Lichman then led their group of seven to the pred

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while. Fortunately, Eric Ferguson did not pursue it further. The topic changed to determine the project’s direction.The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and it had started to rain outside.When everyone went out, they ran into their cars one after another. Since the steps at the entrance were on low terrain, a pool of stagnant rainwater had accumulated there.Nicole walked out last. She was wearing her custom-made Manolos that were incredibly sleek and exquisite, so she hesitantly stood on the steps.Stanton Corporation’s Rolls-Royce parked not far from the steps. The driver could not get any closer even if he wanted to.Maverick noticed his sister’s expression.Since there was only one umbrella left, Maverick habitually took it and propped it over Nicole’s head. “Shall we?”He sounded like he was used to being servile to her.Nicole lowered her head and pointed her toes as she said with regret, “The diamonds on these shoes will fall off

Gerard Lichman and Eric Ferguson walked over to Molly. Gerard said, “Molly, do you know the man beside Ms. Stanton?”Molly Stewart was still immersed in the fact that she had just seen The Great God Maverick lowering his stature and doing everything for Nicole. She felt envious yet found it rightful.‘They’re both such a match made in heaven!’ Molly thought.She subconsciously nodded her head, then shook it decisively a second later.“Nope!” ‘Nicole said to keep it a secret!’Eric narrowed his eyes. Molly picked up the suit jacket and umbrella on the ground, then turned and ran away. ‘I’m just a researcher and can’t deal with these business people!’Tigger looked left and right and was about to dial Nicole’s number with its built-in function when it was suddenly picked up with one hand.Eric frowned and stared at it, feeling that something was off about it.“Do you still recognize me?” His clear, cold voice carried such self-restraint.Tigger narrowed its eyes and kicked i
