Nicole’s face was stiff. ‘No way… In order to promote Maverick, Dad is putting all of us down in comparison?!’Floyd sighed and said, “Maverick is my pride. Molly, you’re able to choose him out of so many people, which means that your vision and taste is really one of a kind!”Everyone’s smile was complicated.Maverick could not hold onto his smile any longer. The corners of his lips twitched a little. “Dad, I’ve already introduced them to Molly.”Floyd grinned from ear to ear. “That’s good. Don’t be a stranger here, Molly. We can’t let Molly down. After the New Year, we’ll definitely hold a luxurious and grand wedding!”Molly forced a smile and looked at Floyd in a daze. “Uh… It doesn’t have to be so soon…”She did not expect that the threshold to marry into an affluent family to be so low. ‘Why do I feel panicky?’ Molly thought.Maverick glanced at Molly and said with a smile, “We’re both busy with work, so of course, the faster the better.”Molly nodded in a daze.Floyd l
Nicole could not help but laugh a little.“You think too much! Everyone in our family adores you, especially my second brother!”Speaking of Maverick, Molly sighed and tilted her head with her hands together.“I never dreamed that I'd get to marry my idol! I’ll really wake up from laughing in my dreams…”Molly’s smile was full of joy.The sun was shining today. Although it was cold, it was still radiant and dazzling.Nicole curled the corners of her lips. “My second brother is the most uncontested person in our family, but he’s very busy. If you feel bored, you can come to me. We can go shopping and travel together!”She implied that Molly should not break up with Maverick just because he was such a busy person.Molly nodded heavily and rubbed her hands. “Um… Is Maverick rich?”Nicole was speechless.After three seconds of silence, Nicole hurriedly nodded.“Yes, he is. He has dividends from Stanton Corporation’s shares, his bonus, and various financial investments. The liqui
Nicole and Julie were close enough that they could talk about everything.Julie raised her eyebrows. “Who knows?”“Then why’d you invest in him so much? Aren’t you afraid of losing all your money?”Julie curled up the corners of her lips lightly. “If I promote him, he can earn far more than what I invested in him. Also…”She paused for a while. Her tone was somewhat cool. “If I can hold him up high, I can also let him fall to his death.”As soon as Nicole heard that, she understood.“You don’t have feelings for him?”Julie laughed. “I do have some feelings for him, but interests are more important.”“Good point.”Once the two ladies looked at each other, there was no need to say anything more. They had a tacit understanding.Kai still had high hopes then.However, Nicole also felt some sympathy for Kai. With this trend, even if Julie and Kai were dating, Kai would be the passive one that would be bullied.As Nicole was thinking this, Kai served them coffee and sat between t
Julie could not help but laugh. Seeing that Nicole was about to flip the table, she hurriedly eased the situation.“K, Lil N has waited for so long for your coffee art. How could you forget this step?”Kai frowned and looked at his troublesome baby sister.Since Julie requested it, he could not just deal with it simply.“Fine, I’ll draw one for you…”Nicole smirked and coldly snorted. “I want an owl!”Kai’s hands stiffened. ‘I don’t know how to draw an owl!’Kai practiced dozens of times for Julie’s robin before he was able to do it.His face changed dramatically, and he almost wanted to flip the table.‘This Lil N only knows how to make me look bad! I knew that I shouldn’t have put my hopes on her! If my happiness lies in her hands, I’ll probably be single for life!’ Kai thought.The atmosphere was quiet.The laughter downstairs and the awkward silence upstairs formed an extremely stark contrast.Julie took a sip of coffee before noticing the tension flowing between these
Kai and Nicole felt like they were props. Their faces were stiff from smiling, but they still had to keep smiling and greet the guests. Nicole did not even smile so much when she was with business partners. She felt like she was about to get facial cramps.Kai was a famous movie star that had an aloof and noble image and was worshipped by everyone, was still subjected to this torture.After the introduction of a number of relatives, Floyd also felt that his mouth was a little dry.Fortunately, the butler was extremely tactful to hand over a cup of tea. “Chairman Stanton, the coffee and refreshments are ready...”Floyd hurriedly welcomed them into the house.“Quick, quick… Please come in. Make yourselves at home!”Floyd then gulped down a large cup of tea.Then, without changing his face, Floyd led Nicole and Kai inside.Floyd hurriedly introduced his daughter that he was most proud of.“This is Lil N. She’s taking care of our company. Grant is just an auxiliary. Our Lil N’s
The atmosphere once again plunged to freezing point.Nicole was no longer bothered to say anything else and left. Kai also followed closely behind.The siblings went back to Julie. Kai saw Julie’s forlorn side profile and said, “Let me play you a song…”There was a piano on the second floor that no one usually used. Floyd only put it there because the space looked too empty.Kai walked over to the piano and sat upright, like a prince that came out of a fairy tale. His face and temperament were enough to stun a crowd.The next second, the delicate sound of the piano flowed from his fingers eloquently and elegantly in gentle and flexible movements. His fingers that touched the black and white keys were well-defined and extremely attractive.On the balcony of the second floor.Hearing the sound of the piano, Nicole could not help but sigh.‘Poor Kai!’Julie frowned. “Is Kai playing the piano?”Nicole raised her eyebrows and nodded.Julie listened carefully for a while. Her expr
Nicole paused for a moment. “Of course not! They’re very open-minded. You don’t have to bother about what others think. Just follow my second brother’s temper.”In the Stanton family, no one dared to show Maverick attitude.Molly sighed with relief and smiled.“That’s good. After all, this is my first time here. My mother saw that I must be sweet-tongued and diligent, then wait for the marriage to be finalized.”Molly sighed and continued, “But there’s simply no chance for me to perform!”Nicole and Julie were stunned.Julie could not help but laugh. “Mav’s girlfriend is so real, huh?”Nicole laughed and thought, ‘Molly was even more realistic earlier in the garden. She didn’t hide her yearning to marry into a wealthy family.’However, this kind of realness made people feel comfortable. It was much better than those sycophantic high-society ladies.“Molly’s very cute. My second brother hasn’t been attracted to girls since young. He likes Molly so much because her personality s
Xandria said, “It’s so soft, just like real fur! It’s also warm. If it didn’t talk, I would’ve really thought that it was a real tiger…”Nicole smiled and raised her eyebrows. After all, she felt the same at first.“Where did you buy this robot tiger?” Xandria asked.Nicole frowned. “Someone else gave it to me.”Xandria asked excitedly. “Who?”For a while, no one said anything.Nicole glanced at Xandria faintly, her smile fading.She already showed her dissatisfaction by being quiet.Xandria was just too nosy.However, Xandria was untactful and asked, “Since it’s from someone else, why don’t you give it to me? It’s so cute! If I post it online, it’ll definitely shock the world!”Nicole faintly pursed her lips. Her voice was flat as she said, “Since it’s from someone else, I can’t just give it to anybody.”Xandria said, “Why not? This is nothing to the Stanton family. You can even keep a real tiger if you want…”Why be so calculative because of a robot tiger?Xandria really
