How meaningless would it be without bets?Eric’s eyes were deep as he stared at her indifferent side profile. “What are your thoughts?”Before Nicole could say anything, Keith sneered and spoke first. “If Ferg loses, I’ll walk out of here butt naked, but if Nicole loses…”He swept a glance at the Carter brothers and continued in a disdainful tone, “You need to admit in public that you married into the Ferguson family for money, and you can never show your face in Atlanta ever again! Nicole, do you dare to bet on this?”Ian and Hugh Carter were dumbfounded. Yvette was so enraged that she wanted to stand up and defend Nicole, but Julie pulled Yvette back and told her not to be impulsive.Eric’s eyebrows furrowed tighter. He was about to interrupt Keith when Nicole sneered and raised her eyebrows mockingly. “Sure, I accept.”Nicole looked so scornful of Eric, as if he was not a worthy opponent.Keith laughed at the fact that Nicole was ignorant and oblivious to how strong her oppon
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 28 Apologies Are Useless
Eric Ferguson quickly left the table, leaving Keith stupefied as he received hostile glares from Nicole’s friends.The taut string in Keith’s heart suddenly snapped.Keith felt that those people led by Yvette just wanted to eat him alive.‘Eric left me like that? Aren’t we bros?!’Keith looked at the people in front of him and bit his lower lip as he spoke with no dignity, “Can you please spare me this time?”The whole group said in unison, “No!”Downstairs.Nicole came out from the side door where there was no crowd. She had just sent a text to her big brother, so his driver should be arriving soon. She also sent Yvette a message.“Nicole…”A raspy voice called her name as Eric’s tall and brawny figure stood at the side door. Nicole was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on her aloof and guarded look.Noticing her change in expression, Eric lowered his eyes slightly.“What’s the matter, Mr. Ferguson?”The light at the side door was dim and elongated their shadows.

Keith reacted with a jolt and quickly took Eric’s jacket to cover his face as he scurried to the car. “Get in! F*ck! Your ex-wife destroyed me today!”When Eric and Keith got into the car, Keith quickly put on his clothes while complaining. “Your ex-wife is such a femme fatale. She’s so ruthless and heartless! I can’t beat her…”Eric’s face turned cold when he heard his muttered words. He took out a cigarette with his slender fingers and lit it. The smoke coming from the cigarette made his eyes seem dim and inscrutable.Yvette and Julie followed Ian out of the bar. They looked smug when they saw the two men in the car.Ian took a few steps forward to the car. Through the car window, the corners of his lips hooked up into an unruly and playful smile. “Mr. Ludwig, it was just a bet, so don’t take it to heart. We’re still friends, right?”Keith’s body shook with anger. ‘Hmph! Simple for you to say, you’re not the one that ran out naked! I’m afraid my name will become the laughing sto
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 30 Set a Trap
Early morning.Nicole opened her eyes in the warm morning light. It felt so cozy and mellow that she curled her lips into a sweet smile. Someone knocked on the door right on time. A maid asked in a soft voice, “Miss, are you awake?”Hearing this, Nicole answered in a lazy voice, “Mm… Come in.”Last night, Grant’s driver brought her to the Stanton mansion.Two maids pushed in a huge clothing rack and spoke respectfully, “Miss, these are the clothes prepared especially for you. Master and Eldest Young Master are waiting for you in the dining hall.”Nicole was slightly shocked. ‘Dad is so extra… I bet he wanted to buy out all my favorite brands so that I’m the only one who can wear them…’There were several pieces of the same style in different colors. Although there was no logo, Nicole could tell from the familiar workmanship and fabric that these were from Prada’s private collection. Some of them were this season’s latest limited edition pieces, so they were invaluable.She certa

Nicole looked like she had a headache. “Yvette, who the hell is so dumb to send me flowers?”“Of course, it’s Ian Carter. He instructed me to deliver it to you by hand.”‘Ian? That Young Master is really capable of making things happen!’Yvette laughed. “Old Master Carter sent Hugh to study abroad. I heard that if he fails this time, his grandpa will break his legs.”“Awww… It’s a pity that we didn’t get to send him off. I guess we’ll just have to wait for him to come back and throw him a nice welcome back party!”Nicole was helpless and got her assistant to take the flowers out of her office. She felt a lot more comfortable without the strong scent of flowers in the air.Yvette nodded. “Yup, my thoughts exactly. By the way, I’ve looked into FH Corporation like you asked me to last time.”Nicole looked up at her. Yvette laughed and said, “FH Corporation has long since become a shell company. They keep asking for loans everywhere and owe the bank a large sum of money they can’t e
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 32 The Wine Is Spiked
Both Mr. Zeller and Samantha Lindt were shaken when they heard Nicole’s words. Mr. Zeller suddenly smiled widely, picked up the bottle of red wine next to him, and poured a glass for Nicole.“Ms. Nicole, since it’s a negotiation, I came with my sincerity. Why don’t you take a look at this document? As long as you sign it, I won’t treat you badly.”Mr. Zeller took a file from his bag. The content was similar to the contract Nicole was holding, but the figure was another ten percent lower than the one Samantha had set.Samantha thought about it and quickly advised her. “Nicole, what’s the point of you only relying on Grant Stanton? You’d be better off getting a few more backers. Think about it, Grant clearly wants to do you harm because he just left you in this position without even guiding you. He probably won’t marry you either…”Nicole did not care for Samantha’s sowing of dissension because she probably thought that they were lovers.‘Is she trying to poach me?’“Look at the cl
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 33 Spare His Worthless Life
That handsome man with that tall and upright figure currently standing in front of Nicole was the man that she had been infatuated with for three years, Eric Ferguson.At first sight, Nicole was stunned for a moment but quickly regained her composure.‘Why is he here? It’s probably a coincidence.’Nicole was not so self-absorbed as to think that Eric Ferguson had been watching her every move so that he could swoop in like a hero to save her.“Mr. Ferguson?” Mr. Zeller stood up in a panic and trembled in fear.Eric’s face was gloomy as he glared viciously at Mr. Zeller. “Do you have a death wish? I can grant your wish!”At this moment, a wave of inexplicable anger suddenly surged in his chest. His eyes were cold and intimidating.Eric was just about to go forward to teach Flint Zeller a lesson when a figure suddenly appeared from behind. The other man kicked Flint Zeller, who had just stood up, back to the ground. Then threw a flurry of punches on Flint’s face and body. No place
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 34 Treated You Like a Sister
Nicole sneered and did not look at Eric Ferguson again. She took her phone and purse, then stomped away in her high heels. Her back was slim and gave off a sense of confidence.Ian raised his eyebrows and immediately followed after Nicole.Eric stood frozen in place. His gaze was as cold as frost. Nicole’s words felt like a thorn in his heart that made him uncomfortable.‘Being a lowly servant to my family? When did the titular Mrs. Ferguson become a servant?’It seemed that there were too many things that Eric was not aware of.As soon as Nicole walked out, she saw a red-faced Flint Zeller tugging on Samantha Lindt at the entrance.‘So, she already knew and was prepared for it… Then was my move earlier superfluous? Tsk, tsk…’ Nicole thought.Nicole got into the car and left. When she heard Eric’s misunderstanding earlier, she felt hurt because he did not know what kind of person she was after three years of marriage.After a moment, Nicole regained composure and did not show a

Fischer was no longer around.Chatty missed him very much, but Fischer did not even say goodbye.Clayton touched her head and looked at his daughter in distress.“Chatty, now that you’ve grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave.

If I didn’t have one, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while I’m young. Otherwise, it won’t be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isn’t perfect!”Clayton tried to persuade her. “You’re still young. If you see the world, you’ll know that men aren’t great.”“Then is Mommy blind since she’s with y

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2625 She Doesn’t Want It
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. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2623 Understand the Law
Jade’s face turned pale.“You should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.”Nicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.“Aunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. 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? How could I? This is illegal!”Nicole sneered
