Chapter 218 Not a Good Person
Nicole’s words once again made the atmosphere stagnant.Eric’s grim eyes swept over Nicole and Colton.His coldness was frightening.“Nicole, what are you trying to do?” Eric could not help but ask.Eric had already done as Nicole asked to kick out Chloe Snyder from the project and involved Stanton Corporation in it.She had said that this was the compensation.Since he had already compensated her, they no longer owed each other.Thus, he was qualified to start anew with her, right?Eric was curious why Nicole was looking for Colton White out of the blue.Nicole gently glanced to the side at Eric.Her voice was cold. “Mr. Ferguson, although we’ve cleared our past grudges, it doesn’t mean that you’re qualified to tell me what to do. Got it?”They were not even friends, so he should not pry into her affairs.Nicole’s words made Eric’s face gloomy.His eyes were dark and heavy as he stared at her.Nicole turned away insouciantly and stared at Colton.She hooked up her lips
Chapter 219 Which Side Are You On?
Everyone saw this scene.Colton White and Nicole had a close relationship, while Eric Ferguson was annoyed and angry.For a while, everyone started to speculate what happened between them.The relationships between elites were truly complicated and ever-changing.Nicole just thought that Eric’s words were amusing.Who was he to meddle in her affairs?Nicole kept silent and raised her eyebrows as if she was saying, ‘You can guess…’ Colton, on the other hand, explained nervously, “Ferg, I’m not close to her!” Eric did not look at him at all, much less listen to his words.Keith came over from the side and looked at this weird trio.He could not help but speak for Eric. “Not close, huh? You guys looked quite close earlier…”The corners of Colton’s lips twitched. He furrowed his eyebrows. “Which side are you on?”‘Is Keith actually Nicole’s spy?!’Keith was overwhelmed by Colton’s aura. After all, Colton used to be in the army, so he definitely would not be able to win him i
Chapter 220 I’ll Let Go if You Lie
The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched. To Nicole, it was a nightmare to hear Ingrid calling her name in that tone.If Nicole did not find out about Ingrid’s plan in advance, Nicole would have doubted her ears. Ingrid, who was in front of Nicole, kept a polite smile and the etiquette of a high-society lady.“Nicole, I have something to say to you. Can we talk alone?”Nicole raised her eyebrows and swirled the grape juice in her glass.She questioned Ingrid. “What do we have to talk about?”Ingrid paused for a moment and hung her head. “I’ve been seriously reflecting on my past behavior these days… I admit that I’ve gone overboard in the past, so I’d like to sincerely apologize to you...’Nicole just nodded with understanding and said, “Oh, okay, then just apologize here. Won’t it be more sincere in front of everyone?”Ingrid’s face stiffened.She forced a fake smile.“Um… It won’t be very appropriate. I still have some things I want to say to you in private.”Nicole hesita
Chapter 221 Go Out Without a Brain
In an instant, Ingrid was so frightened that she could only nod her head and admit her guilt.“Yes, I’m sorry, Nicole! I know it’s wrong…”In the next second, Nicole exerted a slight force in her hand. The sound of fabric ripping could be heard. Nicole suddenly let go.Ingrid shouted in horror and her body sank for a moment.However, Nicole did not let go in the end. She only smiled and seemed to be enjoying the look of fear on Ingrid’s face.“Well, since you admit it yourself, serves you right!”Ingrid could no longer hold back the panic she felt and shouted for help.Nicole did not stop her.Soon, there was a crowd gathered around them.Keith saw this scene and was so shocked that he hurriedly went to look for Eric. ‘OMG! What’s happening?!’Nicole sneered and looked at Ingrid’s ripped dress. She reminded Ingrid.“By the way, your dress is all ripped. Do you want everyone to see what’s underneath?”Ingrid could feel that the fabric of her dress was giving way from being
Chapter 222 Having a Brain Is a Good Thing
For a moment, the banquet hall was dead silent.Those who were watching the show did not expect such a scene.Eric’s slap was ruthless. He used all his strength.He did not care that Ingrid was his sister.Ingrid laid on the ground and touched her cheek that was hot from the slap. She felt so dizzy because that slap was vicious.Her body was cold and trembling.She did not react for a moment.Wretched, wicked, ugly. All the derogatory words were not enough to describe Ingrid at this moment.Ingrid’s tears streamed down her face silently as she looked up in horror at Eric.Eric’s eyes carried such thunderous anger.She had never seen that kind of emotion in her brother’s eyes before.Now, this anger was directed at her.At this moment, Ingrid suddenly remembered her grandfather and her brother’s warning to her not to mess with Nicole.Her mind went blank.Ingrid would be abandoned by her family.She might even be kicked out of the Ferguson family!The mocking, contemptuo
Chapter 223 Be a Decent Human Being
The next day.Ingrid was sent out of Atlanta right after Eric brought her back to the Ferguson Villa. No one knew where she was sent to.When Nicole found out about this, she was playing golf with Maverick.The golf course was in a private VIP country club that was surrounded by greenery.The environment was very peaceful.Golf was Maverick’s favorite sport.Since Maverick went to the National Laboratories, Nicole had not seen him in a long time.Nicole finally had some time off lately, so she called Maverick out to relax.While playing, Nicole could not find a suitable position, so she simply gave up and found other entertainment to keep herself occupied.She was playing with her phone when Yvette called her.“I’ve heard quite a few rumors today! Besides that Ingrid thing, it’s about the scandal between you and Colton White!”Yvette laughed gloatingly. Nicole rolled her eyes in exasperation. “How is that even a scandal?!”“Don’t worry, it didn’t get leaked because someon
Chapter 224 Who’s She Acting For?
Nicole turned to look at Maverick, who was speaking on the phone.Looking at Nicole’s warm gaze that was directed at Maverick, Eric instantly exuded a chilly aura.The people behind him did not know Maverick, but Eric knew about his identity.Maverick was the youngest person who had won the Breakthrough Prize. This record had not been broken thus far.Under his alias, Sunner, Maverick even solved the most difficult problem in Gerard Lichman’s project with ease.Eric had not seen Maverick for a while and did not expect him to appear next to Nicole at this moment.It was very irksome to watch them together.Eric stared at Nicole with his dark eyes. His temperament was awe-inspiring and noble as he stood there looking so high and mighty.However, Nicole did not care about his presence.Since they had already negotiated their terms, they did not owe each other anymore.Maverick hung up the phone and walked up to Nicole with a frown on his handsome and refined face.He lowered hi

Although there was no official wedding between Noah and Jade, she was Noah’s de facto second wife.However, this had nothing to do with Nicole’s family.They had never cared about Noah’s affairs.Stanton Corporation was singlehandedly built up by Floyd Stanton and had nothing to do with Noah Stanton.However, out of kinship and to avoid trouble, Floyd had given Noah their business in Jericho City to take care of. Despite the two-year loss, Floyd did not pursue Noah’s responsibility.He just considered it as money spent to buy peace.Noah brought Lydia over to Stanton Corporation in Jericho City and instated her as a top executive. To outsiders, Lydia
