Nicole and Julie went back to the banquet hall. Everyone started to mingle and laugh with each other. It was as if that little episode earlier did not exist at all.Knowing Nicole’s identity, no one dared to force her to drink. They only exchanged some pleasantries and kept their distance.Nicole felt a little tired, so she walked to a small balcony where it was quiet and peaceful. She looked out through the window and saw the glimmering lights reflecting on a lake not far away. She could also smell a nice floral fragrance.Just when she finally felt relaxed, she heard footsteps approaching.“Nicole, why are you here?”It was Keith Ludwig.Nicole’s relaxed face instantly had a hint of displeasure. She cast a cold sidelong glance at him. “Do I need your permission to be somewhere?”‘Otherwise, stop being so nosy!’Keith braced himself and decided to go over to say a few words for his friend. “Nicole, I didn’t mean that. That watch earlier... Why didn’t you get it for Eric? He

Nicole thought, ‘Eric Ferguson is telling me about the lost ring just to stab me in the heart, huh? He’s really cruel… But, after getting used to being stabbed so many times, my heart is now as hard as a rock.’Eric’s eyebrows furrowed deeper. He was just about to say something when Ian Carter rushed over from not far away after noticing the movement here. “My Goddess Nicole…”Hearing this name, Nicole could not help but smile.The sad memory that was evoked by Eric Ferguson suddenly became insignificant.It was not worth it getting immersed in the past sadness.Ian came over and naturally wrapped his arm around Nicole’s shoulders. He glanced sideways at Eric, full of wariness.“We’re short of one person. I especially saved the spot for you. Wanna go in and play a few rounds?”If it was ten minutes ago, Nicole was down to play, but now, she was no longer in the mood.Nicole hooked her lips and smiled faintly. “Nah, I’m a little tired, so I’m going home.”“Then I’ll send you ho

Word got out that one of the companies under Stanton Corporation was selecting a spokesperson for men’s accessories.Thus, many agencies wanted to recommend their artists for the job.After all, Stanton Corporation had very high standards and strict requirements for selecting a spokesperson, so being selected would prove their status in the circle.Stanton Corporation.Nicole looked over the photos of so many artists that she felt a little dazzled.Logan, who was at the side, was in deep thought for a moment. He then told her about the news he had just heard.“President, HS Corporation bailed Jenny Lynch out today and subtly instated her as Vice President of HS Corporation. Luna has been repatriated.”‘Bailed out?’ Nicole raised her eyebrows. She was not really surprised about Luna’s repatriation because that was a piece of cake for the Carter family.Bailing out Jenny was also easy with HS Corporation’s ability.After all, Jenny was not guilty of a huge, unforgivable crime.

The next day at the press conference.Fabian went to the venue, which was surrounded by fans at the entrance.Beforehand, no one was informed that Nicole would attend this press conference.Thus, her arrival was a pleasant surprise.Nicole entered through the back door. As soon as she appeared, the crowd cheered in surprise.After all, Nicole in the same frame with Fabian was enough to draw everyone’s attention.As soon as Nicole entered, the designer and the company representative stood up to greet her.She smiled and found a corner to sit down quietly.Even so, Nicole was still the focal point.Since this was also live-streamed, it caused a heated reaction online.[President Nicole is so beautiful! Please just make a debut!][This couple is so soothing to the eye!][I finally managed to pre-order a bracelet! That was tough…]......Ferguson Corporation.Eric Ferguson looked at the huge screen in his office that was displaying Stanton Corporation’s live press conference

Jenny Lynch took two steps back in a panic and almost fell to the ground.Before Jenny could stand firm, Luna pounced on her again.“When you used me to deal with Nicole, why didn’t you tell me that Nicole is the heiress of Stanton Corporation? Their family is the real giant in the industry! My family’s company used so much effort to get into business with Stanton Corporation in Korea, but you ruined it all! You even ruined my future!” Luna yelled without caring about the impact of her words.The reporters did not let go of any moment.The flashes from the cameras were incessant.The live broadcast was still ongoing.Every word Luna said was extraordinarily thought-provoking.This farce brought a negative impact on HS Corporation’s reputation.Finally, the bodyguards from behind managed to pull Luna away from Jenny Lynch.At this time, Jenny’s hair was messy, and her clothes were torn. There were scratch marks on her face.She simply looked wretched.The former movie star’

That was not a small amount!Who could afford to buy that?Thus, the live chat room was abuzz, but no one dared to bid for it.The number of zeros after the first number made everyone dazzled and amazed.When the live-streamer announced this item worth two billion dollars, no one said anything.It was a small private tropical island called Tiger Island.Who would buy an island online?The live-streamer intended to use this as a gimmick to attract more viewers.However, in the blink of an eye, the island was sold.The buyer’s ID: @RichBaby!At once, the live broadcast chat room was in an uproar.Nicole’s account reappeared in public.Back then, she squandered $800 million to buy out the entire live stream session and commanded the live-streamer to shop for her in Europe.Now, she spent $2 billion with a snap of a finger to buy a small private island in the tropics.It turned out that for rich people, money was just a string of numbers.Nicole was still oblivious that she

On the side.The bartender, who heard Nicole and Yvette’s conversation, twitched the corners of his lips.Sure enough, only Nicole could describe Eric Ferguson as worthless in this whole world.Wait...The bartender looked up and suddenly saw a tall, well-built man standing behind the two ladies.The man’s features in the dim light looked like Eric Ferguson.His hand trembled. The glass in the bartender’s hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.“M-Mr. F-Ferguson?”Nicole and Yvette froze for a moment.The two of them had an extremely tacit understanding, so neither of them turned around.Speak of the devil!Nicole’s mood was a bit complicated.She could feel a burning gaze behind her like it would pierce through her.Her scalp was tingling.Nicole quickly calmed down and thought, ‘What should I be afraid of?! Even if I say it in his face, it’s not wrong, because, to me, Eric Ferguson is indeed worthless!’With that thought, Nicole relaxed and turned her head.Th

Early in the morning.Nicole wore a simple, elegant dress and paired it with a jacket. She looked so bright and vivacious, simply stunning.When she got to the office, Logan took some documents to her.“There’s a bidding session in the afternoon. The land is in a prime location. The most promising winning bid besides us is Ferguson Corporation.”Nicole nodded.It was not a surprise.Why would Ferguson Corporation give up such a big slice of the pie?Nicole turned to the first page. “This is our base price?”That was not a small amount.Logan nodded. “Yes.”Nicole had a figure in mind and intended to go in person.The dazzling crystal chandeliers inside the luxurious banquet hall lit up the whole space.The people walking around politely exchanged pleasantries, but no one revealed any crucial information.After all, everyone’s base price was the key to winning or losing the bid.Eric’s assistant, Mitchell, went to mingle around with everyone.It looked like Eric would not

If Ferguson Corporation and Snyder Corporation were working together, the chances of them winning this bid were even bigger.Nicole maintained a decent smile, but she was a little worried in her heart.Perhaps, this trip was going to be a fruitless one.Even so, Nicole refused to let go so easily.She gestured for Logan to continue.“$45 billion.”The venue was silent.The real bidding had just begun.The bidding war between those who had true power officially started.Chloe Snyder glanced in Nicole’s direction with a burning gaze.There was no hesitation.“$48 billion.”If they went any further, that would be close to Nicole’s base price.Even if Stanton Corporation could afford it, there was not much benefit in buying this piece of land that would only bring them very little profit within a few decades.After some thought, Nicole looked at Logan and nodded.“$49 billion.”This was their final price.Chloe also began to waver.Nicole then knew that their limit must h

Ian thought, ‘It’s just a piece of land anyway. Consider it a pre-wedding gift.’Nicole did not expect Ian to throw money at her.Suddenly, there was a complicated mix of emotions in her heart.It was not that Nicole could not afford the extra one billion.It was just that she could not just move around the company’s funds so carelessly.Ian’s move really pressured Nicole.During Nicole’s hesitation, Chloe Snyder sneered.“I didn’t expect this city’s business scene to be so chaotic without any distinction between personal and work affairs. Second Young Master Carter, are you trying to risk your entire family fortune just to please a woman?”Chloe had clearly overstepped her bounds with her words.Ian furrowed his eyebrows with a cold look on his face.He ignored Chloe’s outburst and only looked at Nicole with a smile.Ian said, “As long as she’s happy, everything is worth it.”‘Even if I have to give up everything for her, I’ll gladly do so.’ His words made Chloe’s expres
