Nicole thought, ‘If I wasn’t Floyd Stanton’s daughter, I would’ve died many times over!’Keith’s face flushed red. ‘I’m such a wimp! But… I don’t have a choice… I’m guilty as charged…’“Then what do you want?” Keith asked.‘I was clearly out of my mind back then to offend Nicole!’ He thought.Nicole looked out the window and felt impatient.She walked up to him slowly and said in a cold and playful voice, “Don’t you just care about your nudes? I’ll count to three. If you don’t disappear from my sight within three seconds, I’ll make you a viral sensation online by the fourth second!”Keith stiffened as Nicole scoffed.As soon as she finished her sentence, Keith turned around and ran as he begged for mercy. “Don’t… Don’t be impulsive!”Sure enough, he vanished within three seconds.Nicole sneered and rolled her eyes, then strutted away in her high heels.Once she got out of the bar, she saw someone standing next to her car.She looked up and saw that it was none other than Eri

When Eric thought of the image of Nicole walking under the streetlight with her head full of blood and her back looking so cold and lonely, his heart could not help but ache at that moment.He knew that he owed her too much and that there was no way he could repay her.Old Master Ferguson glared at him. “If I wanted to apologize, why would I still be so angry? This apology would just confirm that we slandered her! Our stocks and company’s reputation will go down the drain!”Ingrid Ferguson echoed on the side, “Yeah, why should we apologize? We can just settle with them privately. There’s no need to risk our family’s reputation. So what if she’s Floyd Stanton’s daughter? Is she superior to everyone? We didn’t force her to marry into our family, nor did we force her to get a divorce, so why should we humiliate ourselves?”If they apologized, Ingrid’s name in the gentry circle would become a laughing stock! She would not be able to continue mingling with them and would certainly be mo

Gerard Lichman was delighted to learn that Nicole was coming over in person and gave her a call. “President Nicole, please bring the little traitor when you come over. Everyone misses it!”Nicole responded. “Sure, no problem!”This way, Nicole could kill two birds with one stone! She could rely on Tigger to capture the hearts of J&L’s team and she would not feel so bored over there. Nicole buried herself in work until the evening when the streetlights came on and as stars dotted the night sky.She stretched her back and took her purse. Seeing that Grant’s office light was still on, she felt a little guilty because she had it too easy as the CEO, especially compared to her big brother.Nicole knocked on the door and poked her head in, smiling at the person who was still in a video conference. He calmly listened to the other party’s report in a foreign language and meticulously caught all the key points. He glanced at her and pointed to a seat, then continued the meeting.She sp

Keith Ludwig sighed. “Tsk, tsk… We don’t have a chance anymore. The Great God Maverick and Nicole actually know each other and even have such a good relationship!”The news of Maverick’s return was confidential. To be precise, his itinerary was completely classified.That was because his identity was too sensitive.They spent a lot of money on the international black market just to buy information about Maverick’s flight, and it was gone just like that!Eric looked at Keith coldly and left.Maverick and Nicole went back to the Stanton mansion.Before they got out of the car, they heard the butler ordering a maid to clean up the garden tomorrow as well as Kai’s wailing and Floyd’s angry roar coming from the living room.Maverick stood in the doorway for a moment and looked at Nicole.“Find a place for me, somewhere quiet, preferably with no one living around it.”Nicole blinked and subconsciously blurted out, “A haunted house?”“That’s fine too.”‘It’s fine as long as no huma

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while. Fortunately, Eric Ferguson did not pursue it further. The topic changed to determine the project’s direction.The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and it had started to rain outside.When everyone went out, they ran into their cars one after another. Since the steps at the entrance were on low terrain, a pool of stagnant rainwater had accumulated there.Nicole walked out last. She was wearing her custom-made Manolos that were incredibly sleek and exquisite, so she hesitantly stood on the steps.Stanton Corporation’s Rolls-Royce parked not far from the steps. The driver could not get any closer even if he wanted to.Maverick noticed his sister’s expression.Since there was only one umbrella left, Maverick habitually took it and propped it over Nicole’s head. “Shall we?”He sounded like he was used to being servile to her.Nicole lowered her head and pointed her toes as she said with regret, “The diamonds on these shoes will fall off
