Mr. Anderson nodded in agreement.“By the way, Miss... Your birthday is coming up. What’s the plan?”If Mr. Anderson had not mentioned it, Nicole would have forgotten about it.Nicole’s birthday was coming up.Nicole chuckled and looked at Kai. “It doesn’t matter how it’s held. What’s important is my gift, right, K?”Kai shuddered as he thought about the fact that he had already spent $2.8 billion on her. He might as well just spend more.Mr. Anderson just laughed at Kai on the side.Originally, Nicole did not want to make her birthday party such a big deal. However, because of that little episode with Jade and Lydia, Floyd decided to make it a big fanfare.Stanton Corporation.Nicole had just walked out of the meeting room after the meeting when she saw Grant’s cold face as he walked to the door.She frowned. It was rare to see Grant so angry.Nicole thought about it and chased after him.“G, why are you so mad?”Grant’s face softened a little, but his voice still carri
The Hilton Hotel.Many celebrities and dignitaries were invited to Nicole’s birthday party.As Grant mentioned earlier, this was a good opportunity to network.Floyd Stanton was willing to splurge on his daughter.He chartered the entire hotel. The whole street was closed off and stationed with bodyguards to protect the guests.The venue was bright, luxurious, and remarkable.On the huge electronic screen outside was Nicole’s photo. She looked so beautiful and valiant.“Happy birthday to Nicole Stanton!”This phrase dominated the trending topics on the internet and the advertising space worth ten million dollars a few seconds.The scale of this event was even more grand and luxurious than Stanton Corporation’s anniversary gala.It showed how much the Stanton family spoiled Nicole.They wanted her to become the most dazzling person in the whole city that night.The hotel lounge.Nicole, Yvette, and Julie were doing their makeup.Since there were no outsiders around, they w
Eric Ferguson stood there with a dignified aura and an extraordinary appearance.His presence was difficult to ignore.Eric was a natural leader and could command a scene wherever he went.His eyes were affixed to Nicole. This was not the first time he saw her looking so stunning, but she left him in a different state of mind each time.This time, he had a hint of nervousness under his calm and cool aura.As soon as their eyes met, everything around them seemed to stand still.There was silence.Eric could not hear anything from the outside world.However, Nicole averted her gaze in just a few seconds. ‘How is he even here?’ After Floyd finished his speech, everyone went up to exchange pleasantries and wish Nicole a happy birthday.Nicole responded appropriately to everyone.Yvette and Julie came over to her, but before Nicole could breathe a sigh of relief, she turned around and saw Eric walking over with a strong presence.Nicole was slightly stunned.When Eric got to h
There were three boxes altogether!The crowd was clearly getting excited.Nicole opened the second box with mixed feelings. ‘Huh?’It was a white fall and winter hat.The design was simple and there were no special features.However, Nicole could tell at a glance that this was an out-of-season style from XN’s lineup two years ago.It was a limited-edition item at that time.However, it was not considered a limited-edition luxury nowadays.Yvette scoffed in disdain.“What the hell? I have one of these as well. It’s a style from several years ago! Aren’t you being too perfunctory, President Ferguson?”Julie looked at the hat thoughtfully and remained silent.Nicole was also a little surprised.There was a complicated look in her eyes.She opened the third box without hesitation.It was an exquisite and fine jade bracelet.The color was bright and pure, the texture was deep, and the workmanship was luxurious and exquisite. It was flawless!Quaint, simple, and elegant, yet
Everyone looked at the daughter of the Stanton family who was loved by all, with envy in their eyes.Grant smiled and approached Nicole.Nicole turned her head and glanced at him. “Is this also one of the programs?”‘I didn’t remember this being part of the plan…’Grand smiled faintly, his aura steady and reserved. “Of course not.”Then, his eyes narrowed slightly.He saw a man walking down the stairs on the other side not far away. His tone lightened considerably. “But I think I know who it is…”“Who?” Nicole asked him and followed his gaze.She stiffened slightly.Ian wore a tailor-made tuxedo. With the bewitching smile on his face, his charm was truly impossible to ignore.He held a large bouquet of delicate roses in his hands.What the roses meant was self-explanatory.He walked towards Nicole and stared at her with such deep affection.However, Nicole only stiffened.It was already too late to run.She instantly felt her scalp tingling.The people around them start
Ian had noticed that Nicole’s zipper on the back of her dress was open.The large track of fair skin and her bare shoulders were breathtakingly beautiful.At first, her long hair was draped behind her, so no one noticed.However, when she flipped her hair earlier, Ian caught this small detail.Nicole paused in her footsteps and looked back in surprise.Ian was already zipping her dress back up.In the next second, the door to the lounge suddenly opened.“I’m so sorry, Nicole. I didn’t mean to disturb you while you were making out with Second Young Master Carter. You guys carry on…”Nicole immediately knew who it was by listening to the pretentiously sweet voice.It was Lydia Smith.Nicole coldly swept a glance at Lydia. “Are you blind? Which eye of yours saw us making out?”Ian let go of Nicole at that moment and let out a cold snort. “Who is she? Is she blind?”Lydia paused and bit her lower lip before opening the door.She was not the only one standing outside.Eric Fer
Eric’s face was cold and expressionless.His gaze was firmly fixed on Nicole’s face. “It’s so you can see for yourself that the ‘show’ you expected won’t happen.”There was a hint of anger suppressed in his voice, but it was more of a sullen coldness.He looked at her with an expressionless face and withdrew his arm.Eric was suppressing a carnal light in his eyes.He slowly unbuttoned his soiled jacket in front of Nicole.Then, he carelessly tossed it to the chair on the side.He did not even glance over.There was a touch of wildness in his reckless movement.With one hand, he tore off his tie with a sharp tug and threw it on top of the coat.The top button opened, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple. He looked charming and unkempt.An unruly coldness mingled in his aura.What a suffocating atmosphere.Nicole only froze for a moment before looking away.She suppressed her racing heartbeat.Her lips opened slowly.“Mr. Ferguson, you think too much. I never bother to think
Ian Carter anxiously came out from the side and sighed with relief when he saw Nicole.“I thought you’d been kidnapped, but now that I think about it, you’re the one who kidnaps others instead…”‘Stop mentioning Eric Ferguson!’ Nicole quickly adjusted her mood and went downstairs as if nothing had happened.The heaviness in her heart was not the slightest bit alleviated.Nicole rolled her eyes at Ian’s words with an expressionless face.She walked downstairs in her high heels, looking elegant and refined.Lydia quickly ran after Nicole and bit her lower lip. When she saw Nicole’s unpleasant expression, she mustered the courage to ask, “Nicole, is… Mr. Ferguson alright?”Nicole’s lips curled as she cast a sidelong glance at Lydia.She saw through Lydia’s thoughts at once.If Lydia was frank and open about her intentions, Nicole would have admired her ambition.However, the way Lydia acted like a timid but scheming b*tch really was truly disdainful.Nicole lifted her chin.Th
