The sky gradually dimmed into a dark blue hue. The gloomy sky accompanied by the evening chill felt quite disconcerting.Nicole saw that it was almost time, so she went to the dressing room in her office where she had the latest collections of her favorite brands always available. She picked out a decent knee-length low-key luxury dress to change into, then paired it with a limited edition bag and beautiful stilettos.When Nicole arrived at the clubhouse, no one recognized her. Everyone was just chatting with the people they knew well. There was no theme to this gathering and looked like it was purely for these high-society ladies to pass the time.Nicole took a plate of hors d'oeuvres and ate it slowly. She sat in a corner and looked around. ‘There’s no sign of Samantha Lindt anywhere. Is she not coming?’“Nicole?” The person in front of her looked at her in surprise.Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Carter? Why are you here?”“We’re truly destined to be together! It’s fate that bro

Everyone was from the same gentry circle. Ian Carter had always been popular among the high-society ladies, and his status as the Second Young Master of the Carter family was also very appealing.Thus, when these two women saw Ian Carter treating Nicole like this, their faces subconsciously paled. ‘What’s going on? Didn’t Nicole have a thing with Grant Stanton and a fling with Kai? Ian Carter still sides with such a scandalous woman?’Nicole withdrew her hand with some annoyance and turned to look at the women. “You can either take the initiative to apologize, or I can make you apologize. Choose one.”The two women looked at each other. Their bodies unconsciously stiffened.Ian, who was next to Nicole, looked at the two women with a cold smile. “Are you deaf? Choose!”Those two women were perplexed. It looked like Ian Carter was willing to beat them up as long as Nicole said the word, regardless of their gender difference.Click!Nicole snapped a picture with her phone and hoo

Eric Ferguson looked at Keith Ludwig coldly as he felt a suffocating and irritating pain in his chest. For some reason, Eric was annoyed when he saw that Nicole did not reject Ian from holding her hand earlier.Keith continued chattering on the side. “You didn’t see who did it?! Who’d damage my beloved car? I ordered it from Europe and it came in a special shipment after floating at sea for more than half a month! That son of a b*tch!”Stanton Corporation.A few days later, Samantha Lindt was officially kicked out of the company and charged with leaking trade secrets. The company’s supervisory board began to investigate the accounts handled by Micah Zielinski. They found that Micah Zielinski had sold off three percent of his shares at a high price long ago and that he was just a titular shareholder that fooled everyone.When Logan reported this matter to Nicole, she was leisurely sipping her cup of coffee and only narrowed her eyes. Logan could not grasp Nicole’s thoughts. ‘Is she

Wendy Quade looked up and was slightly stunned to see Nicole upstairs gently swirling a glass of wine in her hand, looking very relaxed. However, Nicole did not bother to look at them and continued to watch the models in front of her.Ingrid and Wendy walked to the stairs but were stopped by the staff in the store.“Sorry, the second floor is closed to the public.”Ingrid was infuriated. “What did you say? What right do you have to stop us? I’m your VIP guest, so why can’t I go upstairs?! Your service attitude is horrible! Just wait till I file a complaint against you and make you lose your job!”The staff smiled and spoke politely, “I’m sorry, but we have important guests upstairs that cannot be disturbed. The first floor is still open for other customers. If you wish to go to the second floor, please come again tomorrow.”“No, I have an important event to attend in the evening, so it has to be today!”Ingrid was a snob and full of herself. ‘I’m the Young Lady of the Ferguson fa

Wendy Quade made a phone call and walked over to pat Ingrid’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Eric’s coming over soon. He didn’t say anything.”Business Convention Center.Eric Ferguson walked out of the conference room, hung up the phone, and had a cold and detached look in his eyes. His custom-made suit set off his ascetic elite persona. His assistant, Mitchell, was waiting on the side and went up to greet him. “President.”“Go to Ingrid and settle the bill, then give the things to Nicole.”Although Wendy said that Nicole willingly gave Ingrid these clothes and did not mention what happened, Eric was doubtful that Ingrid did not do anything to Nicole.Mitchell was slightly stunned. “Send it to Ms. Nicole?” He wanted to confirm once again.“Yes.” Eric only said one word.“Yes, sir.” Mitchell nodded and left.When Mitchell arrived at the store, Ingrid had already endured enough of the staff’s wandering gaze. Although they looked polite, it felt like they were all laughing at her when s
