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
Xandria was a little surprised.Molly said, “The cost of a tiger like this is at least nine figures. If you don’t pay for it, do you expect me to give it to you?”Xandria’s face turned pale. She was shocked by this figure.She looked down at the expensive tiger and instantly did not dare to touch it.“We’re all relatives. Can’t it be cheaper?” Xandria muttered.Everyone present looked shocked when they heard this.‘How can she even say that?!’ Nicole felt speechless. ‘How can I have such relatives?’Julie lowered her head and drank her coffee without speaking.Nicole looked away and pretended not to know Xandria.Molly blinked. “Huh? I don’t work at a farmer’s market, so you can’t bargain with me.”Xandria lowered her head in disappointment just as Floyd came upstairs holding Lil Michael’s hand.“Lil N, Lil Michael was just playing outside. Take him to wash his hands…”Nicole stood up at the right time. “Okay!”Xandria did not let go of this opportunity. Even if she had no
Nicole laughed. “Tigger is our family treasure!”Molly raised her eyebrows and sighed helplessly.“I saw that you guys bought a scarf worth tens of thousands of dollars for it and that watch has to be millions, right? Tsk, tsk… this little traitor only resents the poor and loves the rich!”Friendship among women came very suddenly. After that manipulative b*tch Xandria made such a scene, Julie and Molly naturally got a lot closer to each other.The sky gradually dimmed, but the entire Stanton Mansion was lit up and decorated to be extra lively and beautiful.Julie looked at the time and intended to video call someone. Nicole subconsciously swept a glance and saw Roman’s name, but no one answered.She called once again, but it was not answered.Julie’s face changed slightly.Nicole pursed her lips. “Maybe he’s busy…”Julie paused for a moment and smiled a little distractedly. “He doesn’t have a show at this hour. He should be in the hotel.”Kai coldly grunted as he peeled an a
Everyone exclaimed in shock. “OMG! Nicole, did you get back together with Eric?”“It’s too beautiful! Mr. Ferguson is so romantic!”“This fireworks show isn’t cheap. Mr. Ferguson is confessing his love to you again.”“Mr. Ferguson is so attentive!”A few younger girls looked on with envy and jealousy. “I wonder if Mr. Ferguson is coming. Nicole, say yes to him! This is so romantic…”......Kai looked at Nicole’s dull and cold face. He pursed his lips and could not help but protect Nicole.“What are you guys cooing about? Nicole already received such confessions so many times. How can he expect to coax my sister with such a small trick like this? Nicole has seen the world!”Kai’s disdain was like a bucket of cold water that was splashed on the heads of those that were cheering.To them, this scene was enough to move them to tears, but to Nicole, this was very common.The gap between them was too obvious.Julie laughed. “Yeah, didn’t we prepare fireworks, too? Mr. Anderson, h
The other end of the call was silent. Every second of listening to Nicole’s careless condemnation was tormenting for Eric.Although it had been such a long time, every word she said was like a knife that cut out his heart little by little.Eric was looking for every bit of pain at such a joyous and harmonious time.It was as if that would alleviate his guilt.When Nicole was impatient and wanted to hang up the phone, Eric suddenly spoke again. His voice was a little mute.“Nicole, I want to see you.”Nicole was speechless. “But I don’t want to see you!”“I’m at your door. Can you let me in?”Eric did not give Nicole the opportunity to refuse. He sat in the car and saw so many people in the courtyard under the snow. Fireworks rose in clusters and looked so beautiful and dazzling.That liveliness did not belong to him.Nicole paused in her footsteps and thought, ‘What day is it? Isn’t the Ferguson family busy with their own celebration?’She pursed her lips. “I won’t open the
