Chapter 198 I Won’t Give Way
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
Chapter 199 Everything I Have
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
Chapter 200 You Won’t Steal From Me, Right?
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
Chapter 201 Nicole’s a Snob
After settling this matter, Nicole was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.Yvette invited Nicole to go shopping, so Nicole happily agreed to it.Inside the mall.The two ladies walked around and somehow walked to a car showroom.An extremely bright and eye-catching Aston Martin was parked in the center.Even Nicole could not help but stop to admire its beauty.The design was sleek and beautiful.This was the first of this model released in Mediania.Nicole was fascinated by it and muttered, “Such a beautiful car should be put in my garage…”The corners of Yvette’s lips twitched. ‘Look at this snob!’At this moment, the salesperson came by and saw two ladies dressed in expensive clothes. Moreover, since Nicole was a frequent visitor in the trending topics recently, he recognized Nicole at a glance.After all, Nicole throwing $800 million and $2 billion at things left a deep impression in everyone’s hearts.The salesperson thought, ‘If I can get her to buy this car, I m
Chapter 202 This Mall Is Mine
Since Chloe Snyder asked to join them, it would be rude to refuse. Nicole curled up the corners of her lips into a perfunctory smile. “Sure, it’ll be an honor.”‘She’s clearly targeting me, right? Why?’Nicole thought about it very hard but could not figure it out.When they arrived at a luxury brand store, the sales staff immediately recognized Nicole because she had an exclusive global membership and was their most important customer.The manager hurriedly greeted her. “Ms. Stanton, how may I help you today? We have two new arrival bags. They’re both limited editions with only three produced globally. Would you like to take a look?”Without waiting for Nicole’s response, a staff member already brought it out.It was indeed beautiful!“Wrap it up for me,” Chloe said without hesitation.Everyone instantly froze and looked at Nicole.Nicole’s eyes flickered, and her smile deepened. “Didn’t you hear Ms. Snyder?”Everyone immediately acted on orders and wrapped up the bag for
Chapter 203 If You Don’t Like It, Just Bear With It
Nicole rested her elbows on the coffee table, cupped her face with both hands, and asked Chloe the question with a tilt of her head.One second... Two seconds...Three seconds...There was no answer from Chloe, so she acquiesced to it.Nicole smiled knowingly.Having her innermost thoughts exposed, Chloe’s calm and emotionless eyes finally carried a hint of annoyance.“I just can’t stand seeing you treating others like a side dish. Do you think it’s very fulfilling?”“What?”Chloe’s words were harsh to hear.“Am I wrong? Second Young Master Carter has feelings for you, but you just keep leading him on. Is that not treating him like a side dish?” Chloe questioned Nicole bluntly.Yvette could not help but speak up. “When did you ever see Nicole leading Ian on? What do you know about our relationship anyway?”Chloe looked embarrassed, but she still refused to back down.“Just because you’re close friends, it’s fine for Ms. Stanton to play with his feelings without any guilt?
Chapter 204 Why Did You Invite Me?
Nicole laughed coldly. She did not know whether she was laughing at Chloe Snyder’s childishness or stupidity.She pulled Yvette’s arm, turned on her heels, and walked out of the cafe.Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear.It was a good day.The gloom in Nicole’s heart also dissipated.Once Yvette came out, she said indignantly, “Chloe Snyder’s a good businesswoman, but unfortunately, she has no brain. No wonder no one dares to pursue her.”Nicole laughed.Back then when the Snyder family was in trouble, some people were trying to get their hands on the Snyders’ family fortune.They wanted to use Chloe Snyder to take control of those assets.However, Chloe Snyder was able to hold up the Snyder family by herself and did not give anyone a chance to dupe her.Chloe’s style in business had always been ruthless, decisive, and concise.As long as it did not violate the law, Chloe was willing to do anything to achieve her purpose.It was for this reason that
Chapter 205 Is This Compensation?
Eric’s face was glum. His eyes were imperceptible and bottomless like the ocean.The corners of his lips were taut as he stared at Nicole.Their eyes met, and time seemed to stop for an instant. After a while, Nicole retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes slightly. Her face was indifferent.This project was a sure win.There was no risk to speak of and was different from J&L Corporation’s artificial intelligence project.‘So… Why?’Nicole was baffled.Eric paused and hesitated slightly. “There’s no specific reason. You can choose to say yes or no.”Nicole heard this and felt her heart sinking.She seemed to realize something.Nicole hooked up the corners of her lips mockingly and said, “Mr. Ferguson, you’re deliberately giving me this as compensation for the divorce, right?”She could not think of any other reason but that.Perhaps Nicole’s words were a test.If Eric dared to say a yes, her slap would land on his face at the same moment. If she was not the heiress of
