This scene was like dropping a bomb.It was sensational.In an instant, the originally lively atmosphere that was mixed with the clinking of glasses became quiet and cold.No one spoke up in the large banquet hall.The light and soothing music played in the banquet hall also seemed very strange.The next second, Keith noticed what was happening. His expression changed dramatically as his pupils shrank.Keith ran in wildly and shouted, “Stop! Who put up my photos? Turn it off!”If one listened carefully, one would be able to hear the unconcealable panic in his voice.No one responded.The photos were still rolling as if revealing the skeletons of his happy life, proving that he was just deceiving himself.The fig leaf of this wedding was forcefully pulled aside, making everyone look at the ugly truth.The original intention was to come to Keith’s remarriage banquet, but the result was the opposite. The blessings that came out of everyone’s mouth had simply turned into jokes.
In just one month, Keith seemed to grow uncomfortable with life without Livia, and even more uncomfortable with watching his wife, who had been pampered in the Ludwig family for several years, go out and work for someone else, acting servile and obsequiously.Keith went to ask for a reconciliation, and Livia agreed after less than three times.‘Look, she still likes me.’ Keith then decided to treat her well.However...At that moment, Livia’s eyes were cold like the tundra.Keith stood there with his mouth open, but he was unable to make a sound.Livia came forward step by step and stopped six feet away.There was an impersonal smile on her sweet face."Mr. Ludwig, they’re all your old lovers. Why didn’t you invite them to your wedding?"Keith felt an astringent taste in his throat. He went over to Livia with his eyes fixed on her and spoke with a pleading tone."I was wrong. Wifey, I was really wrong. I wasn’t a good man in the past, but I’ll be good to you in the future. I’
The scene was frozen.Livia shook off Keith’s hand, her tone detached. “Taking this opportunity, I’ve decided to announce something.”Everyone looked at her.Livia said, “I’m going to set up a law firm which specializes in divorce cases involving mistresses. I will do my best to ensure the best interest of innocent victims. In the case of my failed marriage, I have been humiliated, ignored, trampled on, and slapped in the face. I can no longer stand it. To all the ladies present, the only thing that can protect us will only be our interests. That’s why, if you need any help, you can always come to find me.”At those words, the banquet hall fell silent. Even the music stopped.Keith’s face was devoid of any trace of blood. He looked at her in shock, as if he never knew the woman in front of him.Then, lone applause suddenly sounded in the crowd.Everyone looked for the source.Nicole calmly clapped her hands, without regard for others.Immediately after, Julie was the second.
Eric’s voice was dry and hoarse, and his gaze was filled with helplessness. He really could not think of any way to save himself.He was furious at seeing this unlucky remarriage which put him in an unjust position.However, more than that, Eric panicked.Eric had never kneeled to anyone since he became an adult, but if kneeling could prove his sincerity, he was willing to kneel at her feet.Under the light, Nicole’s eyes were bright as she looked at the stage. She was not the least bit moved by Eric’s words.The corners of her mouth curled gently, slightly disdainful.“Don’t. It’ll just shorten my life.”Did he want to relieve all her sorrows with a single kneel?Dream on!Livia’s words undoubtedly pushed the atmosphere of the remarriage in the opposite direction.Keith stood to the side. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a scumbag who should be cut to pieces, but the sadness in his eyes was so profoundly intense.The people were confused. Was he for real or was he acting?
Nicole stroked the boy’s curly hair and smiled. “Yes. You’re awesome, Lil Michael!”To the side, Livia came over. “Ms. Stanton, you’re acquainted with this child?”Nicole smiled. “Yes, he’s my friend’s son. Children’s words carry no harm. Please don’t take offense, Ms. Lehman.”“Of course not.”Keith stepped forward, looking a little disheveled. He still refused to give up.“Wifey…”“Mr. Ludwig, please call me Ms. Lehman in the future. I think I’ve made myself very clear with what I just said.”Keith’s eyes were dim. His jaw tightened and he hastily tried to remedy the situation.“I’ll give you anything you want. If you’re angry that I bankrupted your father’s company, I can help him rebuild it again…”“Enough…”Livia was a little annoyed. She did not even bother to put up a harmonious pretense.“Young Master Ludwig, I used all that money you spent to pursue me to buy off your ex-girlfriends. They’re really not that expensive.”She snickered, but no one knew who she was lau
At the entrance of Stanton Mansion.Unexpectedly, Floyd had also just returned from a fishing trip.The two cars met just like that.Eric was a little nervous in his heart. After all, his status had advanced further since the last time they met.However, Nicole was exceptionally calm. She got out of the car and brought Lil Michael down, and the butler immediately took the boy inside.Nicole wanted Eric to leave immediately, but he also got out of the car.His buttoned suit made him appear noble and clear, and the cold and aloof temperament instantly conformed to him.Nicole silently cursed him in her heart. His well-dressed figure was already walking towards Floyd’s car.He did not want to miss this opportunity. He was willing to risk Nicole’s wrath, but he had to meet her parents!Floyd did not get out of the car. He wound down the car window and narrowed his eyes.“Mr. Ferguson?”Eric lowered his head very politely as if he was meeting a familiar elder.“Chairman Stanton,
Eric’s eyes sank coldly for a moment. He then got up and bid the Stantons farewell.Floyd clearly saw the bicker between the two of them.He knew very well that Eric had not given up on Nicole and was even a little frantic. However, that was good.Eric could have a taste of the same way he tormented Nicole in the past.Floyd exchanged a few pleasantries and let the butler send Eric off.Eric was just about to leave when Tigger, who was nestled on the sofa, ran into his arms, not wanting him to leave.“Papa, I’ll miss you. I’ll love you forever…”Nicole paused and looked at the heartless Tigger.Jealousy made her lose her wits.“If you miss him so much, then just follow him home.”Tigger froze.Its AI brain could not tell if Nicole’s words were true or false.Was Tigger not her favorite?Tigger wagged its tail and walked over reluctantly, pawing at Nicole’s shoes.“Mama, I love you even more…”Eric was speechless. ‘Forget it, it’s just a duplicitous tiger.’The butler se
Livia turned around to look at Nicole. Livia was dressed differently from yesterday, and she looked more stern and decisive. However, the cold brightness of her aura still made her unforgettable to people.“Ms. Stanton, sorry for intruding, but do you have a moment?”Nicole lowered her eyes in thought. She had nothing to do with Livia, but she did feel heartache for what Livia experienced. They had both gone through very similar experiences.“Come in.”Logan went over to push open the office door, and Nicole and Livia went in one after another.“Would you like something to drink?”“Coffee, please.”Nicole took a seat and subconsciously glanced at the computer. The situation of the opening stock market was extraordinarily clear on the chart.Most conspicuously, the Ludwig family’s stock had been plummeting. In just a few minutes, hundreds of millions had evaporated.Livia’s dress today was very professional, looking like a capable and experienced woman in the workplace, in line
