Chapter 186 She’s Performing
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
Chapter 187 Pollute Your Ears
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
Chapter 188 Where’d You Get This Imbecile?
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
Chapter 189 Really Missed It
“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
Chapter 190 Excessive Naivety Is Stupidity
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
Chapter 191 I Lost the Ring
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
Chapter 192 The Diamond Bits Are for You
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
Chapter 193 Spokesperson
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.
