Chapter 105 No Room to Talk
Floyd Stanton kept cursing as he walked, but he still did not feel relieved. When the father-daughter pair walked out of the VIP area, they saw Grant walking over with his head held high.“Why are you here?” Floyd grunted.“I was worried, so I had to come over to pick you guys up.”Grant reached out and took over the suitcase from his father’s hand, then looked at Nicole. “Be prepared. The reporters found out about your whereabouts, so there are now quite a few of them gathered at the entrance of the airport…”Nicole coldly snorted. “I’m no coward!”Floyd stroked Nicole’s hair and let out a satisfied grunt. He was extremely protective of his princess. “Yeah, you guys follow behind me.”‘Let’s see who dares to come forward and pick a fight with me!’ Floyd thought.Grant was still worried, so he protected Nicole by his side and held her hand. Once they got out, a flurry of camera flashes bombarded them. Nicole subconsciously looked away. In the eyes of reporters, Nicole was trying
Chapter 106 Give In
Grant and Nicole looked at their father in unison. Old Master Ferguson was really anxious to call their father right after Floyd had just gotten off the plane.Floyd Stanton sneered. “That’s not necessary. My family’s a mess right now, so I’m not in the mood to go out for a drink.”Old Master Ferguson said, “It’s only because of a woman, so what’s there to be upset about? I actually have a favor to ask of you.”“Chairman Ferguson, Stanton Corporation’s anniversary is coming up in a few days, so how about I invite your whole family and we can talk then?”The other party paused. “Great, then I’ll see you then.”After hanging up, Floyd Stanton’s eyes emitted a chill. “Just watch how I’ll clean up those Ferguson scumbags!”Grant laughed. “Then I’ll take these few days to reorganize our company’s shares and decide which directors to keep or kick out so that our Lil N can have a clean environment.”Floyd nodded. “Good, it’ll save us a lot of trouble later.”Nicole deliberately sighed
Chapter 107 If I Don’t Like You
Nicole desperately suppressed those surging emotions in her heart. She took a deep breath as she held back the sourness in her eyes.‘Tears mean weakness… I’m so useless!’ Nicole thought. Nicole used three days to wear out all the affection she had for Eric from the past three years. She finally understood that she should never have any expectations of a person who did not love her back.‘What does it matter if Eric Ferguson did it or not? What’s more, he’s waiting for me to kneel to them and beg for mercy? They even act like they are such angels, granting me so-called mercy right before they stab me to death? What a joke!’After Nicole removed her love goggles, she could see the whole situation with extra clarity. She could finally see it objectively and found that all of this was based on their condescension of her.Even if she was surrounded by gentries like Grant Stanton and Ian Carter; even if she had exceeded expectations and stunned everyone with her actions and character;
Chapter 108 @RichBaby
Grant Stanton personally sent out the invitations for the anniversary of Stanton Corporation. Every famous and influential person in the country was basically on the guestlist.What was most shocking was that they had rejected all brand sponsorships for this anniversary gala. They had also hired the top event planners to make sure that everything, from place settings, drinks, and meals, was of the best standard. Everyone could see the degree of importance this anniversary gala was to the Stantons.After a few days, Nicole’s online beratement was no longer as intense as before. From time to time, there would be a hired keyboard warrior that would hurl some insults at her. What replaced Nicole’s scandal as the hottest topic was the search for @RichBaby, the mysterious rich woman from that live-streamed shopping spree.In that live stream, @RichBaby bought luxury items worth $800 million without first asking for the price of anything. Thus, the identity of @RichBaby was hotly debated f
Chapter 109 Deliberately Disgust You
Floyd Stanton hooked his lips and sneered. “Just in time. I was about to go meet them.”Nicole pulled on her father’s sleeve and was slightly worried. “Dad, it’s our company’s big day today, so don’t make a huge scene with them. It’s fine if people laugh at them, but it’s not worth it if it affects us.”“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Floyd Stanton straightened his clothes and walked out of the room.At the same time, Nicole’s friends, Yvette Quimbey and Julie Nixon, came into the room one after the other. “Hi, Uncle Floyd!”Floyd nodded and looked at them both warmly. “Yvie, Jules, thanks for being such good friends to Nikki. I’ve prepared a lot of jewelry that you girls probably like. Remember to pick a few before leaving later!”Yvette and Julie glanced at each other, then bowed gratefully. “Thanks, Uncle Floyd!”Floyd left the room contented.Yvette and Julie then went up to Nicole and happily jumped in circles around her. “Nikki! You finally don’t have to hide your identi
Chapter 110 Outcast
Outside the bathroom stall, Quinn and Ingrid Ferguson were shaken.“You… How did you get in here?” Ingrid spoke in surprise and thought, ‘Wasn’t Nicole kicked out of Stanton Corporation?’ Quinn was also slightly stunned, but quickly covered it up and smiled calmly.“She’s probably here to die. Nicole, you should know when to stop. Not every rich family will accept trash… Let alone secondhand trash…”Ingrid felt emboldened. “Yeah, are you here to make trouble? Too bad, no one will help you anymore. The Stanton family doesn’t want you, so your backer is gone…”Nicole lowered her head and smiled, then cast a sidelong glance at them and walked out without saying a word.Ingrid was blocking the doorway and did not intend to give way to Nicole. Thus, Nicole just shoved Ingrid to the side when she passed her by. Ingrid was caught off guard as her body slanted to the side and hit the wall. She was in pain and was just about to curse at Nicole when she suddenly saw Nicole’s cold dark e
Chapter 111 Nicole Is Forbidden to Enter
Floyd Stanton raised his eyebrows and glanced at Eric Ferguson, then shook his head and said, “How could I possibly imagine becoming in-laws with you? My daughter certainly doesn’t deserve such an exceptional man like Mr. Ferguson.”Old Master Ferguson paused, then laughed and changed the subject. “Speaking of which, Stanton Corporation was really messed up by that woman’s scandalous background, right? The stock market even began to stir...”Wendy Quade pulled Ingrid Ferguson’s hand and asked in a whisper, “Did you really see it clearly? Why would Nicole even be here at this time?”“How could I be mistaken? My mother was also present at that time…”Wendy’s eyes narrowed. She followed Ingrid to the second floor and looked down at the crowd that was filled with people. There were all kinds of dresses, and it was simply impossible to recognize anyone.“How can we find her like this…”Ingrid scratched her head. “I don’t know where she ran to hide, but since she’s here, I doubt she’ll
Chapter 112 Do You Have No Shame?
Eric Ferguson could not figure out why he felt so impatient and annoyed. ‘Under such circumstances, why does Nicole still have the guts to show up here? Does she still have expectations for Grant Stanton? Can’t she see that everyone just treats her like trash and only wants to avoid her?’Moreover, those flowers she was holding were extraordinarily agonizing to him.Eric looked at Nicole with a gloomy face. He said with some irritation, “It doesn’t matter what you’re up to. You’d better not choose today of all days. Everyone is watching you, so if you really do something out of place, even I can’t protect you!”If that was the case, Old Master Ferguson would not be the only one against Nicole, but also the entire Stanton family.Nicole laughed out loud, but her eyes were cold.“Protect me? Mr. Ferguson, when have you ever protected me? I think you’re just afraid of getting implicated by me and dragging your family into it, right?”‘Aren’t the insults I have to endure from everyon
