“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
Kai carefully looked at the phone in Nicole’s hand. ‘Yes… That’s really mine!’Everyone in the Stanton family used Nicole’s birthday as their password so that Nicole could remember it easily. Thus, Nicole made the payment without any hassle.The corners of Kai’s mouth twitched. He suddenly missed the sister who only asked for a yacht, which at least saved him money.Although $800 million was not a large sum for Kai, he still felt a little empty when the money evaporated just like that.Kai patted his chest to comfort himself. ‘It’s okay… She’s my sister, so it’s right for her to spend my money. What’s more, it’s only eight hundred million! All that matters is her happiness...’Tigger was finally friendly with him and rubbed its head on his lap, acting cute. Kai’s attention was diverted, so he carried Tigger and went to play somewhere else.That afternoon, besides Nicole’s scandal, the name “@RichBaby” quickly climbed to one of the top hot topics online.[This is the first time I
Old Master Ferguson wanted to drag Nicole’s reputation through the mud so that it would be impossible for her to continue working for Stanton Corporation. ‘He thinks I’ll be willing to submit to him and work as a manager in a small subsidiary under the Ferguson Corporation? This old geezer had the cheek to say this?!’ Nicole thought.She sneered. “Chairman Ferguson, I can’t possibly afford to take alms from your family. You should just save it for the dogs.”“Nicole, don’t force me to get tough with you!” Old Master Ferguson threatened her. ‘How can this woman be so insensitive?’The smile on Nicole’s face faded. “Chairman Ferguson, I just hope that you don’t regret it.”Nicole was very interested to see Old Master Ferguson’s remorseful look later.Since Old Master Ferguson was so cruel, there was no need for her to show any mercy.After hanging up, Nicole calmly gave Grant a call.“Big Brother, when is Dad coming back?”Grant chuckled. “What, you miss him already? His flight
Floyd Stanton kept cursing as he walked, but he still did not feel relieved. When the father-daughter pair walked out of the VIP area, they saw Grant walking over with his head held high.“Why are you here?” Floyd grunted.“I was worried, so I had to come over to pick you guys up.”Grant reached out and took over the suitcase from his father’s hand, then looked at Nicole. “Be prepared. The reporters found out about your whereabouts, so there are now quite a few of them gathered at the entrance of the airport…”Nicole coldly snorted. “I’m no coward!”Floyd stroked Nicole’s hair and let out a satisfied grunt. He was extremely protective of his princess. “Yeah, you guys follow behind me.”‘Let’s see who dares to come forward and pick a fight with me!’ Floyd thought.Grant was still worried, so he protected Nicole by his side and held her hand. Once they got out, a flurry of camera flashes bombarded them. Nicole subconsciously looked away. In the eyes of reporters, Nicole was trying
Grant and Nicole looked at their father in unison. Old Master Ferguson was really anxious to call their father right after Floyd had just gotten off the plane.Floyd Stanton sneered. “That’s not necessary. My family’s a mess right now, so I’m not in the mood to go out for a drink.”Old Master Ferguson said, “It’s only because of a woman, so what’s there to be upset about? I actually have a favor to ask of you.”“Chairman Ferguson, Stanton Corporation’s anniversary is coming up in a few days, so how about I invite your whole family and we can talk then?”The other party paused. “Great, then I’ll see you then.”After hanging up, Floyd Stanton’s eyes emitted a chill. “Just watch how I’ll clean up those Ferguson scumbags!”Grant laughed. “Then I’ll take these few days to reorganize our company’s shares and decide which directors to keep or kick out so that our Lil N can have a clean environment.”Floyd nodded. “Good, it’ll save us a lot of trouble later.”Nicole deliberately sighed
Nicole desperately suppressed those surging emotions in her heart. She took a deep breath as she held back the sourness in her eyes.‘Tears mean weakness… I’m so useless!’ Nicole thought. Nicole used three days to wear out all the affection she had for Eric from the past three years. She finally understood that she should never have any expectations of a person who did not love her back.‘What does it matter if Eric Ferguson did it or not? What’s more, he’s waiting for me to kneel to them and beg for mercy? They even act like they are such angels, granting me so-called mercy right before they stab me to death? What a joke!’After Nicole removed her love goggles, she could see the whole situation with extra clarity. She could finally see it objectively and found that all of this was based on their condescension of her.Even if she was surrounded by gentries like Grant Stanton and Ian Carter; even if she had exceeded expectations and stunned everyone with her actions and character;
