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
Ian’s mother looked thinner. She probably did not eat or sleep well because of this matter.Speaking of this, Ian’s mother could not hold it back any longer and vented out all her anger. Adeline’s face turned red and was extremely ugly.Ian’s mother’s words were so harsh. She was just shy of writing her dislike for Adeline on her face.Terrence also could not stand it, then glared at Ian and his mother fiercely. He forced a stiff smile and pulled Adeline out of Ian’s office.He could force Ian to compromise, but he could not play any tricks in front of Nicole.Ian’s mother spat fiercely. Her eyes reddened afterward.She looked at Nicole and walked over.“Thanks, Nicole. Thank you so much for today. You and Ian…”Back when Ian was pursuing Nicole, Ian’s mother had gone to warn Nicole to stay away from her son.Now that she thought about it, she regretted it.In terms of status, looks, and character, Nicole could defeat all high-society ladies hands down.Why was she so pick
The butler took the tools from Floyd and Eric when they walked in.Eric stood up straight. He wore black pants and a casual white shirt that revealed his neckline. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and his collarbone was rigid and beautiful. He looked so casual, noble, and refined.He watched Nicole walk down the stairs. His eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.“Nicole, what a coincidence!”‘We’re so destined to meet!’ Eric thought.Nicole stiffened and smiled reluctantly.“This is my house, so obviously I’ll be here…”Floyd washed his hands and came out. “Mr. Ferguson, you should stay for dinner. We’ve caught so many fish, so I can’t let you make this trip for nothing.”Eric nodded slightly. His demeanor was decent.“Then, sorry for the trouble.”Eric prayed for this opportunity.Nicole speechlessly turned around and went to the other side. She poured herself a cup of water.Eric quietly approached. Nicole could smell a faint jasmine fragrance o
