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
Chapter 206 Little Princess Carter
Hearing Ian’s angry complaint, Nicole laughed. Her eyebrows relaxed. “That piece of land almost became a hot potato. Since he wanted it, he can have it.”“Then I got a beating for nothing!” Ian felt aggrieved and wailed in pain over the phone.He lowered his voice and said, “You didn’t even come to visit me…”Nicole smirked. “Little Princess Carter, what good would it do if I visit you anyway?”There was silence over the phone.Ian took a deep breath. His face turned red with anger.He gritted his teeth and yelled, “Nikki, how dare you mock me?!”Nicole could not help but laugh lightly. “Don’t be a little b*tch. Just stay at home and admit your fault. Otherwise, you might not even have the strength to call me next time!”Ian was so exasperated that he hung up the phone.He felt like his lifespan was shortened by a few years.It was dark outside. Nicole read some documents before she went to bed.She slept soundly all night.Early in the morning, the morning light spilled
Chapter 207 You’re Making Me Look Bad
The curator said, “This painting is Mr. Wilheim’s artwork. He usually doesn’t sell his work. Oh, look, here he comes…”As they were talking, an old man with a white beard walked towards them with a steady and powerful gait, clutching a cane.Mr. Wilheim was a Medianian that had migrated to Liberty long ago. He was an internationally renowned painter, and his paintings were hard to find.Ian’s mother, Gillian, had certainly heard of Mr. Wilheim’s thundering name.In addition to jewelry, bags, and other luxury items, all women of high society would collect works of art by famous artists at home. Otherwise, they would be ridiculed as a parvenu.However, Mr. Wilheim’s paintings were not something that could be bought with money.This old man had a strange temperament and was fussy about his buyers.Gillian thought, ‘If I could buy his painting, wouldn’t I be more respected in my circle?’In the blink of an eye, the old man with the white beard had arrived in front of them.The cur
Chapter 208 Stupid Family Banquet
Chloe Snyder thought, ‘Old Master? Nicole’s tone is so helpless, and that familiarity of addressing the old man…’The people present were taken aback.The white-bearded Mr. Wilheim finally stopped in his tracks.He had a hint of a smile in his refined gaze.Mr. Wilheim grunted coldly.However, his tone carried reproof and regret. “Someone who quit halfway doesn’t deserve to be my apprentice!”Nicole was the only apprentice Mr. Wilheim took in. She was extremely soulful, and her talent was a hundred times beyond any regular person. Every stroke of Nicole’s paintings was filled with such spirit.However, Nicole only learned from Mr. Wilheim for less than half a year before she quit and turned to learn about business.Mr. Wilheim, who finally accepted that one apprentice in his entire career, was so infuriated that he lost his appetite for a few days.He had so much regret and anger!‘How dare she ask to buy my painting?! Dream on!’ Mr. Wilheim wanted to take this opportunity
Chapter 209 Stay Away From My Son
Nicole was a little hesitant when she received the invitation to the Carter family’s banquet.Since Ian had feelings for her, Nicole subconsciously did not want to get too involved with the Carter family.However, on second thought, this might just be a polite way to thank her for the painting.It would be petty of her to overthink things.When Nicole arrived at the Carter mansion as promised, she unexpectedly saw Chloe Snyder there as well.Chloe came earlier than she did.She was laughing with Old Master Carter and Gillian.Nicole handed over the painting she had gotten, “The Blazing Sun”.Gillian thanked her and took a glance at it.Her face stiffened slightly, but it only lasted for a moment before she regained composure.Nicole did not notice this change.She went up to greet Old Master Carter.Ian had been hiding out upstairs until he heard Nicole’s voice. He hurriedly came downstairs and smiled in surprise.“Lil N, come on up! I just flipped through our yearbook and
Chapter 210 Kicking You Out
Nicole was slightly surprised when she heard these words.This was the second time she had heard this warning.The first time, it was from Quinn before she got married to Eric Ferguson.Unexpectedly, this time, it was from Ian’s mother, Gillian...Nicole looked back at Gillian’s calm and expressionless face.It felt like all the warmth and familiarity from before were merely a disguise.Nicole’s heart turned cold. She had always treated Gillian as a respected elder.She did not expect this to happen.Nicole pulled the corners of her lips.“Mrs. Carter, are you warning me?”“It’s fine if you want to think of it that way, Nicole. Ian had a hard time taking over the company, but because of you, he threw away fifty billion just to buy that land. He not only got beaten up by his grandfather, but he was almost kicked out of the board too. Did you know that?”Nicole was stunned. She thought that she had made a timely save.She did not expect Ian to face so much trouble.Gillian f
