Nicole had a lot on her plate.The development of the real estate project was not going well. The developer changed their mind at the last minute about the price they originally negotiated for.The developer wanted to raise the price by 30% on top of the original price.Of course, Nicole would not agree to it.This project was a top priority in the real estate arm of Stanton Corporation, so it was of great importance.The people sent to negotiate terms with the developer returned without success because the developer was adamant.With the stalemate, Stanton Corporation incurred a daily loss of up to ten million dollars.Grant was abroad for an inspection, so this problem fell on Nicole.Looking at the records of their previous negotiations, Nicole felt that the developer’s attitude was somewhat surprising.What was the reason for their sudden assertiveness?Logan saw Nicole’s puzzled eyes and explained, “I’ve inquired about this. It seems that someone has contacted this devel
After a while, Nicole’s calm voice came through the phone, “Alright. Do something for me…”HS Corporation was not a large-scale company. Their most glorious time was in the past and they were now hanging by a thin thread.Even so, they still had a reputation and were still better off than other companies. Nicole did not expect that the person behind Tobias Stone was actually HS Corporation.It turned out that Eric Ferguson was also involved...In the evening, Julie invited Nicole to a high-society reception, so Nicole attended as promised.Nicole was not in a good mood today, so she just sat in front of the bar and drank quietly by herself.It was difficult for Nicole not to attract attention as she was so beautiful and striking with her long legs and slender waist.Every move she made felt like art. No one noticed that someone had secretly taken a photo of her and sent it to a particular person.When Eric looked at his phone, he frowned slightly.It was Keith calling.He
Nicole swept a glance at Luna and with extreme impatience. ‘How annoying!’“Luna, what are you two talking about?” A woman walked over from not far away. She was dressed in an extravagant gown and had a calm and elegant demeanor. She also had a professional fake smile plastered on her face. Nicole thought that she looked a bit familiar. ‘Is she an actress?’Nicole looked at her and frowned slightly.Luna grunted coldly and walked over to take the woman’s arm.She looked at Nicole with raised eyebrows and said in a smug tone, “Nicole, does she still need to be introduced? She’s the daughter of HS Corporation’s Chairman, the big movie star who won many film awards, Jenny Lynch!”‘Oh, I remember now. She’s that big-name celebrity who completely relies on reality shows and her persona to squeeze into the ranks of first-tier actresses, whose sh*tty acting skills are criticized... That Jenny Lynch?’However, Nicole was focused on her other identity. ‘Daughter of HS Corporation’s Chai
Keith Ludwig snorted and thought, ‘Nicole’s really unaware of the impact she’s causing, huh?’After Nicole got a divorce, she really let loose.Before Nicole said anything else, Luna got agitated and stepped forward.She looked at Kai with righteous indignation and questioned him.“Kai, you should make it clear to everyone now. Did Nicole force you to do this? Did she threaten you? Is it because you’re-- her manstress and she’s been supporting you financially?”Luna said the word “manstress” with difficulty through gritted teeth.“Don’t worry, we won’t judge! Kai, as long as you admit it, we’ll all find a way to help you... We’ll definitely help you escape from Nicole’s claws!”Luna spoke as if Nicole was some sort of beast with giant claws.Kai’s back stiffened slightly. He sneered and suddenly stood up, then looked at Luna with a burning gaze.His tone was cold and unceremonious as he said, “Who the hell are you?! Are you sick in the head? If you are, go back home and take y
Luna was still overwhelmed by Kai’s sudden outburst and had not returned to her senses.Hearing Nicole’s words, she looked up, dumbfounded.Everyone was staring at her.The silence was intense and very strange.Even if she was slow-witted, she could realize that something was wrong.‘Jenny told me about their marriage alliance and even showed me a photo of her father and Mr. Ferguson together... Isn’t that solid evidence?’Luna looked to Jenny for help. “Jenny…”At this moment, Jenny looked at Eric Ferguson and saw that he did not have any intention to help her.Eric even let Nicole question her like this in front of so many people.This crowd was not the same as gossip columnists and needed not press for questions.Their silence was already humiliating enough.Jenny bit her lower lip and tried to make up an excuse to alleviate the awkwardness. “Perhaps... It’s a misunderstanding between the elders. It’s just a joke, so please don’t take it seriously, Ms. Stanton and Mr. Fer
Inside the car.Julie could not help but speak up. “Lil N, Eric Ferguson’s attitude seems a bit strange. Does he like you?”Nicole sneered and remembered what Eric said to Gerard Lichman back then.“How is that possible? Do you think that Jenny Lynch’s talk of a marriage alliance is groundless? If someone hadn’t mentioned it, how would she have the guts to present herself as Eric Ferguson’s fiancée?”Julie frowned. “Right… But... The Fergusons don’t need a marriage alliance with HS Corporation, right?”“Whatever…” Kai sneered.Kai sent Julie back and drove Nicole back to the Stanton mansion.The next morning, Nicole heard a noise downstairs before she got out of bed.She walked downstairs with squinted eyes and heard her father cursing at Kai with a resounding voice.“You’re the worst! Even Tigger is better than you! Look how you got your sister into trouble!”Nicole rubbed his eyes and arrived downstairs. “What’s wrong?”Mr. Anderson showed them the morning headlines.It w
Ferguson Corporation.Eric Ferguson looked at the latest gossip on the internet with furrowed brows.Even Mitchell did not expect this turn of events.This time, Eric should be happy because he had one less opponent, right?However, Mitchell did not see a hint of joy on Eric’s face. “Mr. Ferguson?”Eric’s face was sullen. ‘I should’ve thought of this… Kai didn’t have any scandal with anyone in the entertainment industry before… He was just nice to Nicole alone, so openly at that. Turns out Kai’s also Floyd Stanton’s son! If we didn’t get a divorce, Kai would’ve been my brother-in-law!’It was pretty surprising.Eric felt much better about this. However, when he recalled his attitude towards Kai yesterday, he felt a little regretful.If only Mitchell could read Eric’s thoughts, Mitchell would probably choke on his water.Eric’s eyebrows sank coldly. “What else?”“Edmund Lynch, the Chairman of HS Corporation, is here saying that he has something to discuss with you.”“Let him
Edmund Lynch frowned in shock. “What? What’s going on?”“I just... I just spread a little rumor about Nicole and Kai on the internet. I didn’t expect them to involve the police! Dad, do something! Suppress this! I’m a celebrity, so I can’t get arrested...”Jenny Lynch admitted to everything.She never imagined that Nicole would be so ruthless or that Kai would be Nicole’s brother.Now, she had really stirred up a hornet’s nest!Edmund Lynch’s mind was a mess. All of a sudden, he panicked, turned around, and wanted to seek Eric’s help.As a result, Edmund was stopped by Mitchell.Mitchell politely extended his hand. “Mr. Lynch, the President is in a video conference and can’t be disturbed. If you please…”His attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.Edmund was helpless and left. He called Tobias Stone before heading to Stanton Tower.At this moment, Edmund could not care less about hiding the fact that he and Tobias Stone had colluded.He thought that as long as he
