If Nicole was willing to get into a marriage of convenience, she would not have concealed her identity in the first place.What she wanted was never just a marriage.Old Master Ferguson snorted coldly, “Do you want to watch her get together with someone else? How big a loss would that be to our family?”There was no other person better suited for Nicole than Eric.No matter who Nicole chose to be with in the future, the Ferguson family would become a laughing stock.To the Fergusons, it was more harm than good.Although Old Master Ferguson did not like Nicole as a person, he was willing to disregard his past prejudices and accept this woman because of her powerful family that was a force to reckon with.When Eric heard this, his expression stiffened and became complicated.‘Watch her get together with someone else?’ Eric had never thought about that.Although there were many men around Nicole, he never felt that Nicole would marry any of them.‘What if Nicole married someone

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

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

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

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
