Chapter 56 Can’t Afford It
The staff on the side politely put the emerald pipe in front of Nicole, who picked it up and looked at it. There was a small red spot at the bottom of the tobacco pipe. ‘So it is the real deal...’ Nicole thought.“Thank you,” Nicole said to the staff.She simply ignored the two women who were on the side. Quinn could not stand it anymore and coldly snorted. “Nicole, are your eyes on your feet? Don’t you know how to be polite when you see your elders?”‘How did she treat me back then? She never treated me properly when I was her daughter-in-law and expects me to treat her like an elder now?’Nicole’s eyes flickered. She raised an eyebrow and said, “Oh, Mrs. Ferguson, you’re here too. What a coincidence!”Her words were enough to make Quinn die from exasperation.Quinn’s face turned red with anger. “You think that just because you have a backer, you don’t need to respect me? Don’t forget that I’m your mother-in-law!”Before Nicole and Eric’s divorce, Quinn had never considered h
Chapter 57 How Much Do You Want
Seeing the oncoming person, Quinn’s eyes immediately turned red as she walked over emotionally. “Eric…”“Brother, Nicole snatched away the pipe! That’s Grandpa’s favorite. If he can’t find it, he’ll surely make a big fuss!” Ingrid spoke in a panic.Eric Ferguson stood in the doorway looking very tall and handsome. His body was half-hidden in the shadows as he stared at the people in the room with cold eyes.“Shut up! How dare you steal from Grandpa?”He spoke in a harsh tone and scolded Ingrid, who shuddered in fear and hid behind her mother, not daring to look up.Behind Eric was the person in charge of this event, who stood there with trepidation. The organizer glanced at the staff on the side and asked, “Are the formalities done?”“Yes, everything is settled.” The staff replied cautiously.Since everything was done and dusted, Nicole was not afraid of anything. After all, their precious family heirloom was in her hands, so she could call the shots.Nicole looked at Roman, wh
Chapter 58 Cost So Little
Nicole glanced at the man outside the elevator like he was a stranger. The man finally disappeared from her sight as the elevator door closed.When they were in Roman’s flashy sports car, he finally asked the question that had been bugging him. “Is this thing worth a lot of money? Why do the Fergusons want it so badly?”Nicole laughed and looked at the box in her hand. “This thing is a thousand years old. I heard it came out from a royal palace and had been the Fergusons’ family heirloom for almost eight hundred years. Do you think it’s worth a lot?”Roman’s driving speed obviously slowed down as he was dumbfounded and shocked. ‘This is simply priceless! They auctioned off such a valuable thing? No wonder Eric Ferguson asked Nicole to state her price. If Nicole asked for nine figures, Eric probably won’t even have the slightest hesitation!’Nicole’s phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and saw that it was Grant, so she happily picked up the call. “Brother, I bought a little toy…”
Chapter 59 It Means Rejection
Eric Ferguson did not make a sound on the side, but his eyes had a chill in them.Nicole laughed lightly and took Ian’s arm. She raised an eyebrow and said, “What does it matter to you how many men I change or how many people I date? Mr. Ludwig, do you wanna date me too?”Keith was dissed and felt infuriated. ‘Why do I always get bullied by Nicole?!’“You? You’re not my type!”“To be honest, the last time I saw your body, it’s not that great. You’d better date women with no taste. I’m very strict about my requirements on men’s physique.”‘How dare you say my body’s not great!’ Keith’s face turned red and white as he shook with anger, but he did not dare to say another word. His nudes were in her hands, so it left him with no choice but to retreat.He also heard what Nicole implied. ‘Is this woman threatening me?’Ian laughed at the side. “Her standards have always been very high. Mr. Ludwig, if we continue talking, it’ll affect my boo’s appetite!”One glance at Eric was enough
Chapter 60 She’s Coming Back to the Country
After Nicole said her piece, she went back to the private room to call Ian and leave.Before she got into the car, it suddenly occurred to her that she had left her bag in the private room.She wanted to go back to get it, but Ian stopped her. “I’ll get it. You can wait in the car.”Ian left without another word. Nicole thought about it and followed him, but did not expect to run into Eric and Keith, who were both just leaving.To avoid unnecessary trouble, Nicole did not go forward and waited on the other side of the fountain at the entrance.Keith said, “I heard that Wendy’s coming back soon?”Eric gave a deep “mm”.Keith smiled and said, “I haven’t seen her in so long. I kinda miss her. Although she was at fault, your punishment was a little too heavy. She’s one of us, so you should just forgive her…”The two men walked and talked, then got into the car and left.The afternoon sky was gloomy, and the air was chilly.Nicole retracted her gaze. She was a little lost in thoug
Chapter 61 Junk
At that moment, Nicole felt that when Ian was serious, he could hook her heart and soul, and she was lost in thought for a while.‘He’s not the same frivolous Young Master as he was three years ago…’Nicole panicked and quickly gathered her composure. She did not want him to notice her abnormality. No matter who it was, Nicole did not want to get caught up in a whirlpool of love again.“Carter, you’re getting better at coaxing women now, huh?”Ian was slightly stunned. He laughed and took a step back. “No one else is qualified enough for me to coax.”“Right… If your girlfriends lined up, they could probably circle the globe, so they’re the ones coaxing you...” Nicole raised her eyebrows and looked at him teasingly. Everyone knew about Ian Carter’s messy love life.Ian grinned. “That’s all in the past. You know that those are fake. I’m innocent…”“Alright. Thank you for comforting me, but I’m really tired…”Nicole did not want to fall into another man’s tenderness. Not to mentio
Chapter 62 It’s Just a Car
To the butler, Young Lady Stanton should not drive herself. She should be chauffeured around wherever she went. Otherwise, it was considered his dereliction of duty.Nicole laughed and said, “Mr. Anderson, there’s no need for that. I can drive myself to work. Don’t worry.”She did not say much and hung up the phone. She drove the car out of the garage and went to the office.There was no traffic, so she had a smooth journey. However, Nicole was a little perplexed why other cars on the road were actively avoiding her. Even when she was waiting at a red light, the cars in front and behind her were several meters away.‘Is it because I’m a female driver?’ Nicole thought.When Nicole got to the office, she gave her keys to the parking valet and went into the lobby. From the corner of her eye, Nicole noticed that Samantha Lindt was glaring at her indignantly with an undisguised resentment.Nicole was baffled. ‘Did she find out that I’d given Grant the recording? She shouldn’t know so
Chapter 63 Undermine Her
The meeting room was dead silent for a full minute.Micah Zielinski’s face was red and did not expect that Nicole would turn the gun on them. He said, “It’s not…”Nicole interrupted him without a care. “I believe that you’ve all received notice this morning that I’m managing everything in the company in Mr. Stanton’s absence. I’m in charge of this project, so from now on, if you don’t want to be a part of it, hand me your letter of resignation immediately. Your positions will be replaced by your deputies. I will explain everything to Mr. Stanton.”The people in the room were shocked and silenced. They had all stepped over each other to climb to their department head positions and their deputies were eyeing their spots. It was a sought-after position, so no one dared to act rashly at this moment.Although they could not stand the fact that Nicole had parachuted into her Vice President position, they could all tell how much Grant Stanton supported her since the first day she arrived.
