Julie paused and interrupted Nicole.“Lil N, I’m not gonna lie to you. I do still have feelings for Kai, but… That kind of feeling is like standing on the edge of a cliff with a knife hanging overhead. It’s so uncertain and scary. I can’t handle another loss like that, so I’d rather not go through that.”This kind of relationship was different from her relationship with Roman.Julie was always indifferent and wary of Roman. She always knew that their relationship would come to an end, but with Kai, her heart was moved.Nicole was silent for a moment. She smiled and nodded.She understood that a partner was more important to Julie than anything else because he would be her only family for life.However, who could guarantee that the flirtatious and amorous Kai would always give Julie so much passion and love?People who did not have the slightest sense of security would not easily trust and give away their hearts.Julie did not want to be abandoned once again.Nicole took a deep
Keith walked away dejected.Eric shook his head and watched. Keith looked so smug when he went over to Nicole, but when he came back, he looked like this. Nicole was really amazing!She could even clean up such a shameless guy like Keith Ludwig.The people not far away came over to exchange pleasantries and noticed Eric’s obviously different attitude. They were enthusiastic and polite.“Welcome, Mr. Ferguson…”Eric raised his glass in gesture. Before he could retract his hand, someone next to him suddenly crashed into him.The red wine poured all over his body.The disgust in Eric’s eyes had not yet faded when the person who crashed into him was about to jump into his arms.It was a woman.At once, his gaze darkened and turned cold. He was quick to take a few steps back to give way for the woman to fall.He did not want this woman to touch him.In front of Nicole, moral integrity was the most basic quality he had to keep.“Ah…”After a miserable scream and a clatter, there
That supervisor on the side heard this. His heart suddenly thumped.His face changed slightly.Nicole was present at the event. How could he ask Nicole’s cousin to be a waitress?Could it be that a high-society lady wanted to experience life as a commoner?On the other side, Eric pondered for a moment. His face was indifferent as he looked at the supervisor next to Xandria.Eric took off his soiled jacket and said in a stern tone, “Let her pay for it.”The words were brief and concise without another word of nonsense.Originally, Eric did not want to make a big deal out of it, but since it involved Nicole, Nicole would probably come forward.That way, he could have the opportunity to meet with her alone.Eric was secretly gloating over his brilliant idea.The supervisor looked at Eric incredulously, but he dared not question the man. He immediately responded after showing his surprise.The luxury Italian hand-made blazer that Eric wore was a limited-edition piece globally. O
Nicole and Julie were shocked.Subsequently, Nicole frowned and looked at the man. “Mr. Ferguson, didn’t you leave yet?”Eric paused for a moment. His expression was a bit cool.“I’m waiting for you.”“Why are you waiting for me?”Nicole was confused. It was a cold day and she still wanted to catch the next party with Julie.Eric’s eyes were sunken, and his eyebrows were stern. He looked at her and reminded her. “Your cousin soiled my clothes…”‘I won’t get calculative…’ Before Eric could finish his sentence, Nicole let out a cold laugh.“She’s not my cousin. If you want to find her, just contact her directly. Don’t go through me. I’m not a fool that will pay for others. If anyone tries to cheat you under the guise of being related to me, please call the police. Thank you.”Her eyes were nonchalant with a cold undertone.Nicole admitted that she was disgusted by that woman, Xandria.Eric did not expect Nicole to react this way. If he had not seen Xandria at the Stanton Man
Nicole and Julie stopped in their tracks.They looked at Ian incredulously.Nicole calmed down for a moment before speaking. “Hasn’t your family always been quite open-minded?”The Carter family always favored and pampered their children.Nicole was aware of that. After Ian’s brother passed away, the Carters’ love for Ian became even more indulgent. Ian could get whatever he wanted. Even if they were mad at Ian, they would hardly reprimand him.Ian even squeezed out a few tears. “That was before! Carter Corporation’s internal affairs have been a mess ever since Grandpa’s health deteriorated. Everyone began to seize power, and the one that’s been going against us insisted on marrying their daughter to me. Otherwise, he’ll drive our family out of Carter Corporation.”Nicole was shocked for a while. She was not clear about the internal affairs of Carter Corporation, but she was surprised that the Carters did not notice that a shareholder had seized power to such an extent.“How did
Nicole smiled. “There may be gossip about me in the next two days. As long as it doesn’t affect our stocks, just let it be, okay?”Floyd frowned. “What do you mean by that?”Nicole thought about it and told Floyd about the Carter family’s situation.Floyd was silent for a while and sighed. “After Old Master Carter lost his favorite grandson, he had no interest in the company. It’s really pitiful. If there’s anything you guys can do to help, you mustn’t reject them.”Nicole and Kai nodded obediently.At Stanton Tower.As soon as Nicole got out of the car, she saw Ian, who was stopped at the front desk.He was big and tall and looked dapper in his suit. His charming eyes were glimmering. Ian looked completely different from yesterday’s wretchedness. Ian was an elegant and distinguished gentleman and really deserved to be recognized as a handsome man in the gentry circle.Ian held a large bouquet of flowers that looked very grand.The receptionist saw this and dared not let him i
Eric’s eyes were cold and stern. The gloom on his face was frightening.Eric no longer wanted to try to woo Nicole slowly. He just wanted to knock her out and keep her hidden.He clenched his fists. The veins between his eyebrows were faintly bulging. His eyes were sharp and deep, and his voice was coarse and cold.“Take it down! Or else, crush the platform.”Mitchell’s face was solemn. He immediately nodded.“Yes, sir…”Eric did not want to see such news. If Mitchell continued to stay in the room, he would just be provoking Eric and looking for his own death.In less than twenty minutes, this news vanished just as quickly as it appeared.Soon, the news of a showbiz couple cheating dominated the headlines and trending topics.Nicole and Ian’s news was nowhere to be seen.However, Nicole did not mind because those few hours of hype were enough for people’s imagination to run wild.This news did not affect Stanton Corporation’s stock, but Carter Corporation’s stock shot up bec
Nicole drove Kai’s Maserati in a high-profile and weaved through the city.She parked at the entrance of Carter Corporation and went upstairs smoothly without anyone stopping her.Nicole opened Ian’s office door to see a man and a woman, as well as Ian’s mother.She paused for a moment. Ian saw her and quickly pulled her over.“Lil N, why’d you just arrive? Didn’t we agree to go for dinner? I’ve reserved a table!”Nicole looked bewildered. ‘Did we? Weren’t we supposed to just go out together to let the reporter snap a photo of us on the streets? Now we have to eat dinner too?’Ian winked at Nicole. The other woman sitting next to the man suddenly glared at Nicole indignantly.“Ian, you’re really with Nicole? You rejected me because you found a woman who’s even richer and more powerful than me?”Before Adeline Zabel was divorced, she would see and hear about Second Young Master Carter at every gentry circle gathering. Ian Carter was flirtatious and handsome and was many times be
