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
Chapter 242 Show’s Over
Chloe’s face instantly turned ugly as the flames of anger in her eyes burned wildly.She was still the President of Snyder Corporation, an unparalleled figure in Cali.How would she tolerate being belittled multiple times?Chloe Snyder glared at the burly man next to her. “What are you still standing there for? Get her!”The man received the order and took a step towards Nicole with a stern and cold look. He planned to knock her out so that she would be unable to retaliate when they took her away, which would save them a lot of trouble.The stalemate of this tense situation was about to break at any moment.Nicole glanced over with cold and aloof eyes.She secretly tightened her grip on the stiletto in her hand...The chill in the air spread.A burst of cold wind appeared behind Nicole. The man’s left hand reached out to clasp her shoulder, preventing her from making any moves.Keith and Mitchell were shocked and were just about to call out to her.However, before anyone cou
Chapter 243 She Hit You?
The surrounding atmosphere was instantly frozen. The cold was bone-chilling, and it was so quiet that no one dared to breathe loudly.Eric’s cold eyes turned to Nicole with a hint of surprise.Nicole met his gaze carelessly.When their gaze collided, he saw a deep distrust in her eyes.His heartbeat faltered as if he had been stabbed.“You think that I instructed Chloe Snyder to do this?”Eric narrowed his eyes sharply.Nicole did not make a sound and simply gave him a cold smile.Her silence said everything.To the side, Keith could not help but shiver as bursts of chilling air surrounded him. ‘What’s going on?’“Why else would you be standing here right now?”After Nicole spoke, the air seemed to grow even colder.Keith hurriedly went up to explain. “You’ve misunderstood us. This has nothing to do with Eric! When we were leaving, Eric wanted to look for you because he had something to say. We couldn’t find you anywhere, then the doorman told us that you came this way, so
Chapter 244 Unlucky
Chloe Snyder shivered all over when she heard Ian’s words.The usually egotistical, romantic, and gentle Second Young Master Carter now looked like he wanted to skin her alive.At that moment, the many years of perseverance and adoration Chloe had for him seemed to be reduced to dust.There was a trace of pain in her expression.However, no one cared about her.Nicole saw through Chloe’s thoughts and gave her a sidelong glance.She snorted lightly and answered Ian, “She doesn’t have that capability.”Ian and Grant both sighed in relief at her words.Grant looked at Eric with a complicated gaze.If Nicole was not in danger, she would not have triggered the alarm.Were those two burly men hired by Eric Ferguson or Chloe Snyder?“What is Mr. Ferguson doing here?”Eric looked at Nicole expressionlessly and did not respond. His face was incredibly grim.Keith quickly stepped forward and explained the situation again.Mitchell echoed by his side.Grant looked away. It was unli
