Edmund Lynch frowned in shock. “What? What’s going on?”“I just... I just spread a little rumor about Nicole and Kai on the internet. I didn’t expect them to involve the police! Dad, do something! Suppress this! I’m a celebrity, so I can’t get arrested...”Jenny Lynch admitted to everything.She never imagined that Nicole would be so ruthless or that Kai would be Nicole’s brother.Now, she had really stirred up a hornet’s nest!Edmund Lynch’s mind was a mess. All of a sudden, he panicked, turned around, and wanted to seek Eric’s help.As a result, Edmund was stopped by Mitchell.Mitchell politely extended his hand. “Mr. Lynch, the President is in a video conference and can’t be disturbed. If you please…”His attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.Edmund was helpless and left. He called Tobias Stone before heading to Stanton Tower.At this moment, Edmund could not care less about hiding the fact that he and Tobias Stone had colluded.He thought that as long as he

It did not take long for Jenny Lynch’s rumors to spread like wildfire on the internet.It was shocking that a big movie star who usually never fought for anything would do such a thing.What most people were angry about was that Jenny took the netizens as fools, so most of them gloated at Jenny when she was in trouble.In an instant, all of Jenny’s partnerships and endorsement deals were suspended. She even had to pay penalties for causing damage.Since this matter could no longer be covered up, Jenny had no choice but to apologize for her mistake. She recorded an apology video and announced that she would quit the entertainment industry to inherit her family business.Thus, Jenny’s family background was also dug up with all kinds of comments surrounding it.Nicole did not expect that Jenny would be so quick to apologize.Jenny was smart to retreat nicely with some leeway instead of completely exhausting her fans’ trust in her.In a blink of an eye, Ian Carter’s birthday arrive

“It’s true! Ingrid also saw it. Nicole bought the Patek Philippe that you like. You just need to wait for your gift! Hahaha…” Keith could not help but share what he saw with Eric.This knowledge made Eric a little surprised and depressed.Eric suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to be calm. His voice was deep as he said, “Alright, I’m hanging up.”Originally, Eric did not plan to celebrate his birthday this year. However, now it seemed like he needed to host a big party so that he could invite Nicole.In the previous years, Eric had always celebrated his birthday with a few close friends.Eric recalled that before the divorce, Nicole seemed to look forward to celebrating his birthday, but back then, he did not like to be alone with her, so he had always politely refused. However, she still prepared gifts for him every year.When Eric thought of this, he immediately called Mitchell. “Where are the gifts from my previous birthdays?”The sudden question stunned Mitchell

Nicole hung up the phone without giving Eric the chance to retort.That was her answer.What did his birthday have to do with her anyway?Eric’s heart sank.However, when Eric thought about what Keith told him earlier, that Nicole had bought a gift for him, she would probably attend.He felt much better after some thought.Eric’s phone call yesterday did not affect the quality of Nicole’s sleep.It was raining last night, so the sound of rain was the best lullaby.In the morning, the sky was still a bit cloudy. Nicole pushed open the door of the balcony and felt the cool morning breeze rushing in.At that moment, Ian Carter called. Nicole picked it up at once and said, “Happy birthday, Carter! Wishing you a lifetime of prosperity and longevity!”Ian laughed out loud. “Lil N, are you paying tribute to your grandpa?”Nicole snorted. “Whatever! I would’ve beaten you up if you’re not the birthday boy.”She turned on the speakerphone and went to get dressed. She put on some ligh

Upon hearing this, Keith and Eric stood up and walked over.There was no one at the entrance.“What are you on about?” Keith scolded the person who broadcasted fake news.The man who shouted earlier was startled. He saw Eric’s grim face, smiled apprehensively, and then took out his phone.“My friend just sent me a video of Nicole playing poker. She won a lot...”Before he finished his sentence, his phone was snatched over.Eric clicked on the video and saw several men and women gathered around playing poker. Instead of chips, there were car keys, jewelry, and even gold bars on the table. It was clear how intense this game of poker was. It was definitely much more exciting compared to this birthday party!Everyone in the video was dressed in luxury clothes. Nicole’s limited-edition gray-blue pearl inlay dress made her look so stunning. It was impossible to look away from her.Ian Carter and Julie Nixon sat next to Nicole looking like they were soft-playing. Nicole just sat there

Nicole said, “Ms. Luna?”Luna proudly raised her chin. “It’s rare that you can remember me, Ms. Stanton. I heard that marriage alliances here are made as long as both families are of equal backgrounds. Is that rich businessman just now your marriage partner? Although he’s not very good-looking and a bit older, I guess he must be quite rich. Otherwise, how could he match a noble and elegant person like you, Ms. Stanton?”She did not pay attention to the dynamics online about Medianian gossip and trends. Thus, Luna did not know about Kai’s real identity.Jenny Lynch only called Luna to tell her that Nicole had retaliated, so Luna came here in a huff.Julie wanted to go up and say something, but she was stopped by Nicole.Nicole’s gaze was cold as she looked at Luna. “Don’t think that I won’t touch you because you’re a foreigner. Stay the hell away from me. Listening to your voice just makes me want to puke.”Luna’s face stiffened. She felt so humiliated.She took out the phone a

The people around were stunned. Nicole was not the only one in danger of defamation! Everyone might get defamed at any time.Since this was the Carter family’s party, the Carters would also be implicated if something went wrong.Thus, when the Carter family’s butler heard this, his face stiffened a little. He looked at the two bodyguards behind him and said in a cold voice, “Take her backstage. Performers and crew aren’t allowed to roam around.”Nicole and Julie glanced at each other and followed the butler inside.The two ladies went to greet Old Master Carter before looking for Ian.Second Young Master was surrounded by people toasting him. When he spotted Nicole, he looked like he saw his savior. “My pretty lady is here, so all you losers without girlfriends aren’t worthy enough to drink with me…”Ian’s friends were all vexed with his statement. However, when they saw Nicole, they dared not say anything about it and only smiled as they cheered.Nicole wore a dark green

Nicole subconsciously looked up. When she heard what Ian said, she laughed unconsciously.Two people on the second floor saw this scene. Eric’s eyes became gloomy. He put down the glass of wine in his hand and went downstairs without hesitation.“Ferg! Don’t make a scene!” Keith hurriedly spoke. Otherwise, what could explain Eric’s current behavior?Coincidentally, the music downstairs came to a stop. The artists on stage bowed and everyone gave them a round of applause.The other performers went down one after another while Luna stayed onstage. Luna looked at Nicole, who was not far away, and smiled meaningfully.Julie sensed that something was wrong and approached Nicole. “Is Luna trying to make a scene?”Nicole laughed insouciantly. “Since she’s asking for it, don’t stop her…”Julie raised her eyebrows and was relieved to know that Nicole noticed it.On stage.“Hello everyone, my name is Luna. I’m truly honored to be here today. I’d like to wish Second Young Master Carter a

“Mr. Ferguson, what are you trying to do?” Ian Carter said with dissatisfaction because Eric just ruined such a romantic moment.‘So what if he’s Eric Ferguson? I won’t let him get his way!’ Ian thought. Eric did not even care about Ian and only stared intently at Nicole with a deep and dark gaze.The Patek Philippe in her hand was dazzling, but Eric had never felt more hatred for this watch than at this moment, so much so that he wanted to throw out his entire collection of this brand of watches into the trash.Nicole frowned and twisted her wrist away from Eric’s big hand.She looked at him coldly. “Mr. Ferguson, what’s the matter?”Eric’s lips were tightly pressed into a straight line. He was just about to speak, but Nicole did not give him the chance. “Mr. Ferguson, save whatever you want to say for later. This is Second Young Master Carter’s birthday party, so you don’t want to steal the limelight, right?”As she said that, Nicole smiled and carefully put the Patek Phili

Keith put away his smile apprehensively. The corners of his lips twitched. “Ahem… Uh... I didn’t expect this to happen either…”Keith thought, ‘Ingrid’s the one who misled me to think in that direction in the first place! I didn’t think that Nicole would be so heartless either. That scene earlier was simply a slap in Eric’s face!’Meanwhile, the two ladies walked backstage while talking and laughing. Julie and Nicole casually found a dressing room and walked in, just in time to see someone coming out after getting changed.It was Luna.Luna stiffened slightly when she saw Nicole. She walked up to Nicole and was just about to speak when the Carter family’s butler came in with some bodyguards.The butler looked at Nicole and bowed respectfully to greet her. “Ms. Stanton, please excuse me. I have to take care of a little matter. It will be settled in a few minutes.”Nicole and Julie glanced at each other and nodded. “Go ahead.”The butler nodded at the two burly bodyguards behi
