Wendy Quade’s face was gloomy as she walked over to Nicole step by step.

“Nicole…”

Nicole stood there and already knew that someone was approaching her. She knew that besides Wendy, no one would come over to her.

She casually glanced to the side and saw Wendy’s soft and gentle face that looked so pitiable.

Wendy walked up to Nicole with a cold smirk and had already removed her disguise.

“Did you come to the banquet on purpose? You wanted to get close to Eric, didn’t you? You’re already divorced, so why are you still clinging to him? If I were you, I’d hide far away. Don’t come looking for trouble.”

Nicole looked at Wendy with a harsh and mocking gaze.

“Wendy Quade, the whole world knows that you’re the mistress in our relationship. Did you have a good time lately?”

Since this scandal went viral, netizens dug up information on Wendy Quade, who was frequently seen around Eric Ferguson.

Although Eric Ferguson had already taken down those posts, Wendy Quade had been dubbed “the homewrecker” and was scorned by many, so much so that Wendy could not sleep well for some time.

“Nicole, a title isn’t as important as our feelings for each other. Eric and I will be together one day, unlike you.” Wendy coldly snorted out of jealousy and gave Nicole a once-over.

“Did you take the money from selling your blood to get this banquet invitation? How else could you come to such a place? The clothes and jewelry you’re wearing are also rented, right?”

Wendy stepped forward. Her gaze flickered slightly as she walked next to the pool with a cold smirk.

“Nicole, you’re just asking for it…”

As she said that, Wendy suddenly leaned backward and fell into the pool. The splash immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

The crowd exclaimed.

Nicole looked at this scene with an indifferent and dark gaze. She suddenly thought about the banquet three years ago back when she had just gotten married to Eric. This exact situation happened as well.

“Nicole, I won’t congratulate you on your marriage. After all, Eric isn’t in love with you. If it weren’t for the fact that you can donate blood to me at any time, Eric wouldn’t have agreed to marry you. You will never be happy together. If you don’t believe me, just watch…”

Wendy leaped into the pool back then, and Eric jumped in without a second thought.

She had proved to Nicole that Eric cared about her. Back then, Nicole thought that her sincerity would one day move Eric, but she had failed miserably.

Now, Wendy jumped into the pool yet again and struggled in the water.

A man rushed by. Without having to look, Nicole knew that it must be Eric. He anxiously brought Wendy out of the pool.

“Eric, don’t blame Nicole. I came to apologize but she didn’t forgive me. She must still hate me, but I’m sure she didn’t mean to do this...”

Wendy looked so aggrieved as she shrank into the man’s arms and suppressed her sobs. The onlookers pitied Wendy and looked at Nicole dubiously.

Grant Stanton heard the commotion and frowned when he saw this scene. Nicole stopped him from interfering. Instead, she whispered a few words into his ear. After that, Grant left.

Eric held the drenched Wendy and draped his jacket over her. His dark eyes glared at Nicole coldly.

Nicole met his gaze without avoidance and the corners of her lips curled up mockingly.

“She used this trick a long time ago. Did you fall for it again?”

Nicole did not care if Eric believed what Wendy said. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smirked. “It doesn’t matter. Her acting skills are so subpar without any improvement after all these years. I’ll turn a blind eye to your act.”

‘Why must I accept this? Why do I have to play along with her? It’ll just lower my IQ!’

Nicole was just about to turn around and leave when Wendy suddenly got up from Eric’s embrace and tugged on Nicole’s arm. Wendy refused to let go of this wonderful opportunity to clear her name and cried.

“Nicole, I know that you don’t like me, but every time you donated blood, Eric paid you for it. What else are you dissatisfied with? Why are you still pestering Eric after the divorce and slander us? You did everything possible to come to this party because you refuse to let go of him, right?”

    “Eric Ferguson, this is what you’ve paid me throughout the three years for my blood. Now that I’ve paid you back, we don’t owe each other anymore…”Nicole’s voice was cold and resolute.Eric’s eyes were dark and deep, and his mood at this moment was extraordinarily complicated.The crowd was clear about the situation at this moment.

Wendy’s reputation had gone down the drain with this incident.Nicole walked away glamorously while Wendy was left with chattering teeth as she shivered in the cold.‘This woman is my nemesis!’ Wendy thought.“Eric, Nicole must be mad at me again.

    Wendy Quade pleaded in the car, but Eric Ferguson just felt like he had nowhere to vent his wrath.‘If this was fake, was anything ever real in the past three years?’As Eric stormed away in the cold wind, a flashy sports car slowly stopped by the roadside. The person inside waved to him, “Bro! Get in…”Keith Ludwig was also at the banquet earlier to network and witnessed the spectacle. Since Eric left in a huff, Keith got bored and followed suit. He did not expect to see Eric walking by himself at the roadside.Eric sat in the passenger seat and lit a cigarette. When he saw the smoke, he thought of Nicole’s figure when she held a cigarette earlier and stiffened.“Bro, you saw Nicole, right? What’s her relationship with West City’s Grant Stanton?”Keith’s question annoyed Eric even more. Eric did not want to answer these questions that he did not even know the answer to.Fortunately, there were no reporters at the event. Otherwise, it would cause another viral sensation in their

    Nicole walked away in style. Ingrid’s face was pale, and before she could react, Quinn cursed loudly on the side and told the waiter to clean up the mess.“Is this b*tch Nicole crazy?! How dare she do this to you?”Quinn spoke viciously. In the blink of an eye, Nicole had already been led by the manager to the VIP room on the other side of the restaurant.Ingrid’s hair and clothes were soaked through with red wine. She looked wretched. When she returned to her senses, she was so infuriated that she wanted to go after Nicole to settle the score, but she was stopped by the waiter. “Miss, do you need a change of clothes?”The surrounding patrons stared at the miserable-looking Ingrid, who stomped her foot indignantly. “I won’t let her get away with this!”......Grant Stanton was in a bad mood after that encounter, but Nicole was not affected in any way.

    Eric Ferguson watched as Grant Stanton’s car gradually drove away with narrowed eyes and a sullen expression.The divorced Nicole was like a derailed train. He simply could not figure out which direction she was heading.In the past, Nicole would be very cautious around him, but now, she even dared to say those ungracious words fearlessly.Ingrid was reluctant to let Nicole get away so easily and wanted to stop their car, but Eric yanked her back.“That’s enough!”“Brother, how can you side with an outsider? Nicole bullying me is the same as disrespecting our family! That ungrateful b*tch forgot who fed, clothed, and accommodated her these past three years. She needs to be taught a lesson!”“Ingrid Ferguson, the jewelry in the safe at Imperial Gardens are all for Nicole. Why did you take them without permission?” Eric reminded her. Although he had not taken the initiative to give it to Nicole, everything at the Imperial Gardens belonged to him and Nicole.“Brother, I’m your sist

    Ingrid tugged on Eric’s arm. “Brother, you have to help me… Didn’t Nicole take your money to support her lover? She clearly has an affair with that man…”Eric shrugged Ingrid off of his arm. His tone was sullen as he coldly spat out. “That man is Grant Stanton from West City. He’s someone you can’t afford to mess with.”He began to be doubtful. ‘Was the divorce not just my problem? Perhaps the entire Ferguson family is the problem…’Ingrid was stupefied. Although she had never met Grant Stanton, every woman in the elite circle knew that he was the most eligible bachelor in West City. He was so mysterious and noble. Countless women would bend over backward just to marry this man, but Nicole was with him?She was vexed. Since her brother did not back her up, she could only turn to others for help. Ingrid immediately made a phone call. “Keith, Nicole bullied me. You have to help me…”......At Grant Stanton’s office in the Stanton Tower, Nicole watched as Grant made her a cup of cof

    “Since you’re here, you don’t have to leave just yet. Why don’t you accompany me for a drink?” The man’s gaze was lecherous as he flashed a cunning smile. His tone was half-threatening and half-coaxing.Yvette was already tipsy. The man was holding her neck and looked like he could drag her away at any time.Nicole looked straight at the man and said calmly, “Let her go.”The man hooked his lips smugly and beckoned to her. “Come here and drink this, then I’ll let her go.”Nicole knew without having to think that the drink must have been spiked.Even so, she did not hesitate and walked over, but an onlooker discouraged her. “Miss, don’t go over first. Call the police. This guy is a notorious gang leader.”‘Even a gangster dares to bully me now?’ Nicole turned to look at the other guy and said, “Thanks for your concern, but don’t worry.”She was fed up and laughed instead of getting angry. “If I go over, you’ll release her?”“Sure.

    When Selena talked about Nicole and Eric, she had a smile on her face, and there was no concern or disgust in her eyes.It was probably because Selena felt that Eric had left his past behind.Eric would never approach Nicole again, and they each had their own lives.Nicole smiled. The gemstone bracelet in the box was shiny and beautiful. It was extravagant with each carefully crafted gemstone. There was a kind of wild and exquisite beauty to it.Nicole shook her head and could not help but laugh.“I liked collecting these a few years ago, but I’ve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!”Selena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicole’s past with Eric. They just laughed it off.Nicole wore the bracelet on her wrist.

    Jade’s rudeness made Floyd’s face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.“The shares of Stanton Corporation belong to the Stanton family. Back then, Uncle Noah signed his shares over to the company so that he would only enjoy the dividends. Now that he has left the company, he will not be able to enjoy the dividends. Aunt Jade, your plan has failed. These shares aren’t part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.”Jade’s complexion was dull.“Then what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I don’t care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I won’t rest!”Jade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floyd’s face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.“You should go back and wait for the police and the company’s notice.

We’re here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!”Jade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.“Then… What did you discuss?”Clayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.“Actually, we have consulted a lawyer. The worst-case scenario is the death penalty. After all, he killed two people. But there is a way. Uncle Noah was married to you back then, right? As long as you come forward to testify that Uncle Noah has been with you all the time, so he didn’t have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!”Jade’s face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.“You… You want me to give a false statement?
