Chapter 234 He Kissed Her
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
Chapter 235 A Timid but Scheming B*tch
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
Chapter 236 Are You Telling Me What to Do?
Ian naturally did not dare to say anything. After all, they were his future brothers-in-law...He had to be polite!Ian smiled. His attitude became very warm and bright. “Don’t worry, this won’t happen again. I’ll keep my love for her hidden in the bottom of my heart…”Grant frowned. His gaze was dangerously sharp.Kai could not bear to listen further as goosebumps rose all over his skin. “Just shut up!”Nicole simply turned around and left expressionlessly.The band Kai invited was very good, and the live performance mesmerized the crowd.Many people were dancing and immersed in the music.Some people chatted in the small banquet hall to the side.Hearing the sound, Nicole walked over.Just as she reached the door, a person suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist.Nicole was dragged into the small banquet hall.“What are you doing here? Come here…”Nicole frowned. It was Jade Smith.She clearly did not invite them, yet they were so shameless to come uninvited.Well, Nic
Chapter 237 Comparing Who’s More Shameless
The few bosses came up to greet Floyd Stanton and planned to leave immediately.They completely ignored Jade’s actions.Floyd clinked his glass with theirs indifferently, but like Nicole, he did not drink either.He saw clearly what had happened here earlier.Although they were the hosts, it seemed the number of people who showed up had far exceeded the number of people they actually invited.Everyone wanted to take this opportunity to build connections with the Stantons and get acquainted with other people.Therefore, they took the opportunity to tag along with their invited friends and relatives. In fact, they were not actually on the invitation list.Floyd turned a blind eye to this, but he would not take into account or drink to every toast offered.It was a huge honor to others if Floyd drank with them.Seeing this scene, Jade’s expression stiffened.What did she say about Nicole earlier?She had poor manners?She must drink when someone offered her a toast?Noah look
Chapter 238 I Can Say Meaner Stuff
Nicole deliberately did not lower her voice.As soon as she spoke, the attention of everyone on this side of the banquet hall was drawn to her.The atmosphere was frozen.A chill spread.Jade’s face instantly turned red with anger. “You… You’re so uncultured! How dare you talk to your elder like that?!”Nicole cast her a disdainful sidelong glance.It was just a glance, and she did not say anything, but it explained everything.Elder?Was she worthy?A homewrecker did not deserve to be respected by others.Lydia gnawed on her lower lips as her body tensed up. Her face flushed red with anger.She originally wanted to take this opportunity to socialize with other gentries and get close to Eric.However, everyone now knew the fact that she was not in fact a Stanton.Instead of running away like this, she might as well grit her teeth and make Nicole seem cold and cruel instead.No one would benefit from this farce!Lydia lowered her voice and sounded like she was about to cr
Chapter 239 Kidnapping Or Robbery
Floyd Stanton stood by the side with a cold face, not saying a word.He was not in the mood to watch his brother’s family affairs.The most hateful thing was that they ruined his daughter’s birthday party.Thus, he had no intention of helping them no matter how viciously Nicole fought back.They deserved it!Jade and Lydia were guilty. If this carried on, it would only be detrimental to them.They left with their tails between their legs.Noah Stanton was also not in the mood to stay, so he left after saying a few words to Floyd.The small episode did not cause that much of a storm.Everyone soon tacitly changed the subject. Some people continued dancing, while others exchanged pleasantries.Who would dare to whisper and joke about what just happened?Nicole quietly sipped a glass of red wine. The wine stained her lips crimson, and her cold and aloof aura made her even more bright and beautiful.When she turned around, she saw Floyd’s cold and gloomy face.She walked over
Chapter 240 I’ll Be a Good Girl and Listen
Nicole had only smelled that kind of cold and expensive perfume on Chloe Snyder before.During their first meeting at the auction, in Ian’s home, and at the banquet tonight… Chloe had used the same type of perfume.The person across from Nicole let out a soft laugh.“Ms. Stanton, you’re very smart... You actually recognized me?”Nicole could not be bothered to talk with her and rolled her eyes.Unfortunately, Chloe might not be able to see that eye roll.What a waste of emotion!Would Chloe Snyder, the legendary woman who created a business empire and was worshiped, praised, and thought of as someone who could achieve anything, kidnap Nicole?It was clear that Chloe did not do this on the spur of the moment, much less for money.“I’m afraid you didn’t bring me here to say something nice to me, right, Ms. Snyder? Then just get to the point. What do you want?”Chloe’s breath paused slightly.Nicole could feel the irritation and coldness that Chloe was desperately trying to con
Chapter 241 Triple-Killed
The moment Chloe Snyder raised her hand, the two burly men behind Nicole stepped forward.There was a very tacit understanding in their action.Just as they were about to touch Nicole, they suddenly felt a cold chill passing in front of them.Before they could react, Nicole disappeared before their eyes in a flash!The darkness created good conditions for Nicole.Nicole nimbly dodged to the side and pressed her body low.In an instant, she shifted behind them.Before the two men could realize what was going on, she lifted her right foot and took off one of her stilettos.She pinched the tip of the stiletto, so the heel was facing outward. With a swift and powerful momentum, her actions were so fast that she seemed to blur.Just when she was about to hit the man nearest to her, the man suddenly felt a cold breeze behind him.He instinctively ducked forward, intending to dodge the attack.However, the next second, Nicole suddenly twisted her wrist and smashed the stiletto over
