Chapter 117 I’m Not That Generous
Old Master Ferguson’s face was glum as he narrowed his eyes and grunted coldly. He was so exasperated looking at this father-daughter pair that he gnashed his teeth and said, “Chairman Stanton, what else do you have in store? I’ve already seen enough of this surprising show!”It was clear that the Stantons were deliberately telling off the Fergusons with everything that happened at the gala.‘No wonder Nicole was so fearless when I complained about her to Floyd Stanton in her office that day. Now that I think back to it, she deliberately played me!’ Old Master Ferguson thought.Floyd Stanton glanced at Eric Ferguson, who still did not show a hint of emotion on his noble and calm face. At such a young age, he managed to be so unperturbed by all that happened, which was a rare talent.If not for Eric’s messy love life and for him hurting Nicole so many times that made Floyd Stanton keep a distance from him, Floyd would probably be able to accept such a man as his son-in-law.“Chairm
Chapter 118 Ask Her to Leave
Wendy Quade’s expression stiffened. She did not expect Nicole to be so direct.She looked up aggrievedly at Eric, but he did not look at her.From the very beginning, his eyes had been fixated on Nicole and he had been unreasonably silent.Wendy quietly hung her head and clenched her fingers.Old Master Ferguson also did not look at her nor did he intend to help.At this moment, Old Master Ferguson’s face was glum as he asked Floyd, “Chairman Stanton, even if we did do something wrong, it’s all water under the bridge now. They’re already divorced, so there’s no need to make a fuss about it, right?”Floyd was really trying to hold back his anger. He was so vexed that he did not know how his daughter managed to put up with them for the past three years.He immediately called for the two waiters who were standing not far away and pointed at Wendy Quade. “Please ask this young lady to leave.”Wendy’s face turned pale as she looked up in a panic.Floyd’s tone was harsh. “My daughte
Chapter 119 Bought Title
Nicole paused for a moment. Her eyebrows moved slightly as she raised her eyelids insouciantly, then hooked the corners of her lips.“Mr. Ferguson, why do you want to know this?”‘Knowing the answer no longer had any meaning now, is there?’ Nicole thought.“Answer me.” Eric’s voice was deep, and his eyes were bottomless like the ocean.Nicole lowered her eyelids and smiled gently.“Because my family is very unimpressed with you, but I was somehow blind and liked you.”‘That was why I turned my back on my world, gave up my identity, and ran to him with open arms. Unfortunately, he didn’t catch me, and I fell to a painful death…’“Fortunately, I’m not blind anymore.” Nicole smiled faintly. It was extremely cold. “Mr. Ferguson, are you done talking? You might as well go back and discuss with the old man on how to word the apology.”Nicole took a sip of red wine and retracted her gaze. She turned on her heels and left without saying another word.Grant was mingling with the guests
Chapter 120 He’s Trash
“I don’t know.” Eric spoke coldly and dodged Keith’s hand that was reaching over to him.This was also what Eric had been puzzled about. He only remembered that back then, Wendy Quade was in a car accident and had lost too much blood, but the Rh-null blood stored in the blood bank in Atlanta was far from enough.That was when Nicole came to him. She said that she could donate her blood to Wendy, but with one condition - he was to marry her.The matter was urgent, so Eric agreed without even thinking about it.Everything that happened later was just natural.Eric did not like Nicole and did not have any feelings for her, but he still respected all her rights as his wife and honored their marriage.Suddenly, there was a clamor outside their private room.Keith went out to take a look and immediately turned back. “Holy sh*t, Nicole’s here!”Outside, the music was so loud that it could shatter one’s eardrums. Everyone below was reveling in the music.Nicole was dancing in the midd
Chapter 121 Premeditated Car Crash
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
Chapter 122 The Apology Owed to Her
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
Chapter 123 Work and Earn Your Own Money
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
Chapter 124 Nicole Stanton, The Domineering CEO
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
