Hearing Nicole’s words, Wendy Quade frowned slightly. Ingrid Ferguson also did not expect Nicole to have this level of relationship with Share.‘The founder of Ingrid’s favorite brand, Share, was actually Nicole?!’ Ingrid thought.Ingrid did not want to get kicked out by security. If that happened, she would become the laughing stock in tomorrow’s headlines. She coldly snorted. “Why are you so smug? I don’t wanna come back to this sh*tty place!”She gritted her teeth and dragged Wendy away.When they got to the entrance downstairs, Wendy stopped in her tracks. “Wait.”“What’s wrong?”Although Ingrid did not want to leave empty-handed, Nicole would really get the security guards to kick them out if she did not leave on her own accord. That would be more humiliating then.“I think I saw your brother. Why don’t we wait for him?”‘If Eric recognized Nicole, would they meet and rekindle old feelings?’ Wendy thought.Thinking about the change in Eric’s attitude towards her since she
Kai’s body stiffened for a moment. Although he did regret what he just said, he could not take back his words.Julie quickly waved her hand. “No thanks. It’s too extravagant. I won’t even use it.”Nicole was adamant. “No way! We don’t have to use it, but we need one, so you must accept this! Our Mr. Superstar isn’t short of money anyway! Right?” Nicole grinned at Kai.Since Kai was paying for the yacht, Nicole was more than happy.Kai laughed and felt a little helpless. “Yeah, it’s just a yacht. Since Nikki said it, consider this a small gift. It’s certainly not a problem for me to buy it.”‘I must live up to my baby sister’s brag…’Julie was very close to Nicole and knew the Stanton family’s strength, so she did not refuse again.“Thanks, Kai,” Julie said.Kai raised his eyebrows and reached out to touch Julie’s head. “Don’t mention it.”Julie was stunned and blushed faintly.However, Kai quickly looked down at Nicole and spoke dotingly, “Satisfied? Can we go home now?”Nic
The night sky was getting gloomier. When Nicole heard those words, she stopped in her tracks and suddenly felt her blood drain from her body. Keith’s words stabbed into Nicole’s heart like a knife, which made her bleed profusely.The scars Nicole tried her best to hide were uncovered, and she could no longer act as if nothing had happened.She desperately wanted to forget those three years, but those people always had to remind her that her existence was worthless!Kai sneered as he said with an extremely dangerous tone, “Keith Ludwig, are you even human?”He knew that Nicole had a bad time while she was staying with the Fergusons those three years, but he did not know any details because his father did not allow them to inquire about Nicole. Thus, the Stanton brothers dared not touch this subject.Now that a glimpse of Nicole’s past suffering was brought up, Keith’s words instantly angered Kai. ‘So, this is how the princess that we pampered and coddled all this while was treated?
Of course, Nicole could see that Wendy was just pretending.Perhaps Wendy even did this intentionally. That little bit of blood on Wendy’s head in the dim light only magnified others’ fear and worry for her.Julie had kicked Ingrid and Wendy out from the venue a long time ago, but they stayed until now just to put on a show like this?Was Wendy just trying to prove that she was more important in Eric’s heart?Once Wendy was injured, everyone had to revolve around her. Nicole would then be chucked to the side again.Unfortunately, Nicole did not follow the script Wendy intended. Nicole did not get upset, nor did she pretend to be strong. Instead, Nicole hit Wendy.‘This feels great!’ Nicole laughed lightly, then went outside.Kai hooked his lips in satisfaction and did not blame Nicole at all. Instead, he gave her a thumbs up and praised her. “Great! Well done, Nikki! Now, this is the Nicole I know!”‘Not that stupid woman who lived like a coward for the past three years…’A tr
What Keith said to Nicole earlier was infuriating. Wendy Quade most probably got kicked in the head because of that, so they deserved it.The corners of Keith’s lips twitched. He looked at Eric and said, “Is she saying that I don’t have a brain?! What did I say that was so wrong?”Eric raised his eyes, which were deep and dark. His tone was cold. “What do you think?” ‘Well… I admit that I went a little overboard, but that’s only because I was too anxious about Wendy’s life, which was Hendrick’s only dying wish! How would I know that Wendy’s slight bruise looked so serious?’“But still… That woman shouldn’t have hit someone!”‘She must be so angry right now! If I really offended that woman, would she post my nudes in a fit of anger?!’ Eric’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. “Take her to the hospital for a checkup. I have to leave first.”“What?” Keith was surprised. “No, I have something to do too!”‘I need to apologize to Nicole before she remembers that she has my nudes! I’m a
“What’s going on?”“Someone posted an article with so much made-up bullsh*t about you, but the main thing is that it can’t be suppressed! Quick, go look!”Yvette spoke with urgency.Nicole hung up and went online. Sure enough, her name became the top trending topic once again.With a sigh, Nicole clicked into the article and read the comments.[Nicole has no status or family background. How did she become the Vice President of a listed company?][Nicole divorced without getting a penny. How did she afford to buy a Cayenne?][Who is Nicole’s sugar daddy?][*waits impatiently for an exposé*]......The photos of Nicole with Grant, Kai, Ian, and some clients were posted online as so-called evidence. It made it seem like her love life was extremely messy and that her divorce was not as righteous as she had put it earlier. Public opinion was skewed towards the worst possible description of Nicole.Nicole’s face sank. She immediately went online to check that day’s stock market.
When Mitchell found out about this, he found it unbelievable that Old Master Ferguson dealt with his former daughter-in-law in such a ruthless and despicable way.Even Mitchell began to sympathize with Nicole.Eric Ferguson was quiet for a long time, making the silence in the office unbearable.“Bang!” Eric suddenly kicked away the chair and took his jacket as he stormed out with a gloomy face. His car raced to the Ferguson Villa. When Eric saw the maid, he asked in a deep voice, “Where’s the Old Master?”The maid trembled. “The Old Master went to West Hill Villa…”Eric turned around and left. The maid chased after him and said, “Young Master, the Old Master said that he wouldn’t see you until the matter is resolved.”Hearing this, Eric stopped in his tracks. His gaze was harsh as he stared at the maid. “What did you say?”The maid shrank back in fear with a pale face, not daring to speak again.Eric gritted his teeth and went back into his car, then took out his phone to cal
Old Master Ferguson’s face was cold as he asked, “Did the call get through?”The butler looked at the call that was rejected and carefully replied, “She refused to answer…”Old Master Ferguson thought, ‘Is she trying my patience? This woman really doesn’t know what’s good for her. I’m already giving her a chance by taking the initiative to call her, but she dares to refuse my call?!’He was infuriated and shouted, “Call again!”‘I want to see how long Nicole can hold out…’ Old Master Ferguson thought.“Yes, sir.” The butler tried again. “It’s been rejected again. Maybe she’s busy…”Old Master Ferguson was exasperated.Nicole’s clicking speed was not as fast as Kai’s. Old Master Ferguson’s call also made her miss the live product grab session for the latest Jo Malone perfume.She was so annoyed that she snatched Kai’s phone over. When she saw that Kai managed to get it, she was even more vexed. Kai just laughed in her face gloatingly, so Nicole decided to privately message the l
