Noah Stanton could not stop the words that came out of Jade’s mouth in time.The temperature in the air instantly dropped to a freezing point.A chill permeated every inch of the air.Everyone knew that Nicole’s mother had passed away many years ago. It was a tragic topic that the Stantons could not bear to mention.If Floyd Stanton heard such words, he might even get someone to kill Jade immediately, much less Nicole!Where did Jade get the guts to bring up Nicole’s late mother in front of her and even scold her at the same time?Jade saw Nicole’s suddenly grim expression and realized that she had misspoken.She subconsciously turned to Noah. The angry expression he had earlier instantly disappeared.Just when everyone thought that the tense atmosphere would never end.Nicole’s cold eyes were affixed to Jade for a long time.Her gaze was deep and dangerous.She curled up her lips indifferently and spoke in a cold voice.“Jade Smith, I’ve been too soft on you, haven’t I?”
Nicole had never been a generous person.She could pretend as if nothing happened after being scolded, biding her time to revenge.Nicole made a mental note of how they had offended her.She would retaliate sooner or later.Ignoring Jade and Lydia’s insults behind her back, Nicole held her head high and strutted away in her heels.She felt sick just staying under the same roof as them!The bodyguard behind her was quick to open the door for her.Every movement of hers was inherently superior and noble, making people think that she was born to rule from above and look down on everyone.Back at Stanton Corporation.The people she sent had already started the process of taking over Jericho City’s branch.Thus, Nicole could stop worrying and ignore the online public opinion.Soon, everyone would know the truth.However, Noah Stanton unexpectedly did not give up and uploaded a video in the name of the company the next day.Professor Meyer stood in front of the camera, righteous
There was a moment of silence.The reporters continued to ask questions, but they were much more moderate this time.“In that case, could you give an explanation regarding Professor Meyer’s video?”If Stanton Corporation admitted to plagiarism, that meant it was Professor Meyer who was lying.Plagiarism was the most intolerable act in the academic world.Nicole revealed a smile that was bright and confident.She stood up and said with a firm and gentle voice, “The achievement of the three-party cooperation project isn’t because of Professor Meyer, but the secrets that were stolen by him. Now, let me introduce the central figure of our research team, who is also the youngest scientist that won the most prestigious Breakthrough Prize in the industry, Maverick.”As soon as her words fell, the venue was instantly plunged into silence as the crowd froze.From another door in the venue, a handsome young man walked out with a calm gait.The genius scientist who could only be seen on
As soon as the words were spoken, the hall was plunged into pin-drop silence.The next second, a thunderous commotion instantly erupted!The barrage on the internet was even more intense.[Holy sh*t! What kind of reversal is this?][I thought I was going to be lovelorn! President Nicole, marry me!][Aaaaaaaahhhh!!! Nicole has three godly brothers! Why don’t I have any?!][I thought that there wouldn’t be a bigger secret after it was revealed that Kai was a Stanton. How did the Stantons churn out so many elites in the various industries?][The Great God Maverick was actually from a rich and influential family? No one knew from how low-key his background was!][He could’ve just relied on his family, but he decided to make a mark on his own instead.][Our Fabian still has a chance! President Nicole, please remember to think of him…]......Inside the venue, everyone’s voices covered the original purpose of the meeting, and the conference was extended for more than half an hour.
Nicole paused in surprise. ‘Huh? Shouldn’t his words have been, “You’re welcome, I didn’t do much”? This freak Eric Ferguson really doesn’t play by the rules…’Nicole felt a little embarrassed, but she maintained a polite smile on the surface. “I just did.”Then, she turned and left.Eric spoke up behind her. “Believe it or not, what happened that night with Chloe Snyder had nothing to do with me.”His expression was tense and slightly unpleasant.What kind of person was Eric Ferguson? Would he be fixated on such a trivial matter?He even went through the effort to explain himself?Eric repeatedly recalled the way Nicole looked at him that night.Her eyes were full of distrust.It was like a knife gouging out his heart.For the first time, he experienced the helplessness of not being trusted.She kicked him out of her world and no longer believed a word he said.Nicole’s back stiffened slightly.She thought of what Logan investigated, so she completely forgot about this ma
Noah’s body stiffened fiercely as his expression became ugly.“Y-You knew about that?”He thought that he had done it stealthily enough.He especially picked small shareholders who joined Stanton Corporation afterward to acquire their shares, but he was unexpectedly still found out.Nicole smiled.“My father single-handedly established Stanton Corporation. It’s not something passed down from our predecessors. Logically speaking, you have no share of this pie. My father hasn’t exposed you only out of his brotherly love for you, but if this goes on, you’ll lose even that affection…”Noah was completely at a loss for words. His eyes flashed with a trace of remorse and regret.At that moment, he had lost the anger he had when he came here.Now, he was like a frozen statue, absent-minded.Nicole put the printed photos in Noah’s hand. “Uncle Noah, you don’t want our money to fall into the hands of those two women, right?”Noah turned his head and left without saying a word.Nicole
Logan was shocked. Usually, Nicole would actively avoid anywhere Eric Ferguson appeared, so why did she not plan to avoid this meeting as well?Nicole held the invitation and raised her brows. She did not know why Eric was so kind to tell her about this opportunity.However, she would not let go of this rare and great occasion.“Book a flight for me…” Nicole said to Logan.Logan paused. “Mitchell said that Mr. Ferguson has already booked it. If you want to go, you can just get on the plane.”Nicole was speechless. ‘That b*stard Eric Ferguson read my thoughts?!’After a while, she took the invitation and went to Grant.“Big Brother, that jerk Eric Ferguson gave me this invitation. I’m going to check it out.”When Grant saw the invitation, he was first a little surprised. Then, he smiled calmly. “I originally wanted to take you there in a few years. You’re still young and lack seniority, so people won’t think too highly of you, but it’s okay if you want to go and see what it’s al
In Ferguson Corporation.It was already close to dusk when Eric came out of the conference room.The setting sun hung at an angle on the branches of the treetops outside the office, the same as countless ordinary evenings.He still had forty minutes before his flight. He had not forgotten that Nicole was waiting for him in Riopolis.Eric casually loosened his tie and was just about to ask Mitchell to bring all the signed documents when he saw the man suddenly running in from outside in a flurry.His face was pale and panicked.Mitchell had been an assistant to Eric for many years, but he had always been calm and dignified, and never lost his composure like this.“P-President…”Eric frowned. His expression sank slightly as he waited for Mitchell to continue.“An hour ago, I got the news that Ms. Stanton’s plane crashed. After searching and verification, it was confirmed that… There were no survivors...”Mitchell’s voice grew lower and lower, and his lips barely moved when he s
