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
Chapter 211 How Is She Someone Who Will Affect the Big Picture?
Although Nicole did not want to receive Eric Ferguson, he was already here, so she had to maintain superficial politeness.Logan held open the door of her office.Nicole walked in with big strides.She exuded such a confident and elegant aura and carried such superiority that made her so unattainable that others could only look up to her and sigh in admiration.Eric watched her back as she pushed the door in and was slightly stunned.This scene suddenly felt so familiar.That image deep in his mind surfaced for a while. In the darkness, the woman in the red dress whose face could not be seen, and the light that pierced through the night.The light that broke through the dark sky was overwhelming.He frowned slightly. That was back when he was in Europe.‘Why did I suddenly remember this?’......“Mr. Ferguson, please come in…”Logan extended his arm and politely reminded him.Eric walked in and swept a glance.The furnishing of Nicole’s office was very minimalist.The
Chapter 212 The Lost Ring
Eric’s face was taut. After a moment, he nodded his head in agreement. “Okay.”He unconditionally agreed with the compensation she asked for although dealing with it might be a bit troublesome.However, Eric finally felt relieved. ‘She’s willing to accept my compensation, so does that mean our relationship is still salvageable?’Nicole was not surprised by his agreement.At that moment, she stood up and walked behind her desk.“I’ll have someone work out the details with Ferguson Corporation. Let’s keep this cooperation private and confidential for now…”Eric had the same thoughts. After all, the project had just started, so it was not appropriate to be too high-profile.Looking at Nicole’s actions, she was probably about to send him out the next second.Since things between them had just started to ease up, it was better to avoid any unpleasant arguments.Eric stood up after some thought. “Then… I’ll head back…”Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes were affixed to a
Chapter 213 She’s Lying
Eric was curious why his lost ring would be in Nicole’s possession.Nicole’s eyes flickered slightly. She was obviously unwilling to answer this irritating question.However, she was even more unwilling to get entangled with Eric Ferguson.She simply told him.“I thought you knew…”‘You should know…’“This ring was returned to me one morning by Wendy Quade. She said that you had too much to drink the night before and slept at her place, then casually just threw it aside. So, she personally returned it to me.”Nicole would probably never forget that confrontation.That was the first time that Nicole felt such despair about their marriage.Nicole was lost in sadness, depression, and anger back then.Luckily, she managed to walk out of that darkness in time.Looking at the flicker of confusion and pain in his eyes, Nicole sneered with contempt.‘Perhaps I was mistaken. Eric Ferguson is a cold-blooded animal without feelings. How could he feel any pain because of me? Even if he
