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
Chapter 113 Her Last Name Is Stanton
The venue was brightly lit, extremely luxurious, and high-profile. Soon, the music stopped abruptly as Floyd Stanton walked up onto the stage.Everyone gathered around the stage, knowing that the main event of this gala was about to begin.Although Grant Stanton was the actual person in charge of Stanton Corporation and had the prestige and reputation comparable to Eric Ferguson, at this time, he did not have the slightest intention to take the spotlight away from his father. Instead, he only stood on the side humbly and respectfully as he watched his father speak.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming to Stanton Corporation’s anniversary gala. Thanks to your support all these years, we’ve had such smooth sailing thus far. This toast is for everyone!”Floyd Stanton raised his glass, to which everyone responded with the same action, then downed the wine in it. Everyone knew that it was not because of everyone’s support that Stanton Corporation had such an unstoppable gro
Chapter 114 Heiress
Once Floyd Stanton’s words fell, the venue was deadly silent. Everyone was just so shocked as if a bomb had dropped on them from out of nowhere.At the same time, the congratulatory words on the huge digital screens on all the buildings outside that could be seen from inside the venue were instantly replaced with Nicole’s picture. Everyone in the entire city could see Nicole’s picture as long as they looked up at those buildings.The Stanton family wanted everyone in the world to know that Nicole Stanton’s value was unparalleled.Everyone present looked incredulous, especially Old Master Ferguson, who was standing in the forefront. His face was stiff for a moment with an obscure astonishment.Eric Ferguson also stood there shocked with complex bewilderment.Ingrid and Quinn Ferguson were not as calm as the Ferguson men. Quinn broke the silence in the venue with her tense and shrill voice as she shouted, “Impossible! She’s clearly an orphan with no money and background!”“Shut up!
