Outside the bathroom stall, Quinn and
Ingrid Ferguson were shaken.
“You… How did you get in here?” Ingrid
spoke in surprise and thought, ‘Wasn’t
Nicole kicked out of Stanton Corporation?’
Quinn was also slightly stunned, but
quickly covered it up and smiled calmly.
“She’s probably here to die. Nicole, you
should know when to stop.
Not every rich
family will accept trash… Let alone
secondhand trash…”
Ingrid felt emboldened. “Yeah, are you
here to make trouble? Too bad, no one will
help you anymore. The Stanton family
doesn’t want you, so your backer is gone
Nicole lowered her head and smiled, then
cast a sidelong glance at them and walked
out without saying a word.
Ingrid was blocking the doorway and did
not intend to give way to Nicole.
Thus, Nicole just shoved Ingrid to the side
when she passed her by. Ingrid was
caught off guard as her body slanted to
caught off guard a er body slanted to
the side and hit the wall. She was in pain
and was just about to curse at Nicole when
she suddenly saw Nicole’s cold dark eyes
that looked askance at her.
She was so
scared that she dared not say a word.
After Nicole’s figure gradually faded
away, Ingrid rubbed her shoulder that was
hurt by the impact and bared her teeth.”
She’s already an outcast. How dare she
throw a fit?! Sooner or later, I’ll show her
who’s boss!”
In the center of the banquet hall, the Stanton father-and-son pair calmly exchanged pleasantries with
their guests. Although Floyd Stanton had retired and taken a back seat in the company, he still did not
look a day over fifty as he kept a good exercise routine. Standing next to Grant, Floyd looked more like
an older brother.
“Chairman Stanton!” “Chairman Ferguson, what an honor.” Floyd Stanton shook hands with Old Master
Ferguson and greeted him in a cold voice. Eric bowed slightly. “Uncle Floyd.” “No, no… Just call me
Chairman Stanton.” Floyd laughed without accepting Eric’s greeting
Eric was stunned for a moment but quickly regained composure. Although they had dealt with each other
frequently in business, they did not have much of a personal connection. Floyd was clearly drawing a
clear line with the Fergusons privately based on his cold attitude, which puzzled Eric.
Old Master Ferguson did not notice this and was only exchanging pleasantries with Floyd. Grant
Stanton, who was standing on the other side, smirked and looked at Wendy Quade who was beside Eric.
He lifted his glass and said, “Mr. Ferguson, no wonder you’re so relentless towards your ex-wife. It looks
like you’ll be
announcing your marital news again, huh? I wonder which family’s daughter
can make Mr. Ferguson so devoted to
her?”
No matter how slow-witted Eric Ferguson
was, he could hear the mockery in Grant’s
words. His eyebrows were slightly
knitted, and his face was somewhat sullen
knitted, and his face as somewhat sullen and cold. Eric did not like other people prying into his personal
affairs, not to mention, Grant had an ongoing scandal with Nicole. ‘Is he trying to get justice for Nicole?’
Eric thought
Eric’s eyes were cold. Wendy heard this and could not wait to make a self- introduction. “I grew up
abroad. My eldest uncle is the Chairman of FQ Enterprise.” Grant nodded politely. “I see.” “Mr. Stanton,
do you know my eldest uncle?”
Wendy’s eyes lit up. Grant’s smile was cold with condescending scrutiny, but his voice was calm and
polite. “No, I’ve never heard of him.” Wendy’s smile froze as she felt embarrassed. Although Grant did
not say it directly, Wendy could feel the contempt in
his words.
Even so, Wendy still thought that she was
much better off than Nicole, who had
nothing to her name. Thus, Wendy did not
care about Grant’s attitude towards her.
De “But the two of you do look good together,” Grant added. Wendy bowed her head and smiled shyly,
while Eric’s face sank. “Mr. Stanton, are you so curious about my personal matters?” There was a slight
dip between his eyebrows. Grant smiled calmly and faintly, then pursed his lips. “Maybe.” He still wanted
to say something, but Ingrid ran over from a distance while holding the hem of her dress. “Wendy…”
Eric’s face was grim. “Where are your manners?”
Ingrid was so frightened that she immediately stood upright and carefully walked up to them. She then
whispered a few words into Wendy’s ear. Wendy’s face lit up and the two girls ran away hand in hand
without greeting anyone Eric narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction. Grant did not care. Floyd, who was on
the side, saw this and smiled. “Ms. Ferguson I really bubbly It must be a very lively side, saw this and
sed. “Ms. Ferguson is
really bubbly. It must be very lively at home…” Old Master Ferguson laughed. “She’s just spoiled and
forgot all her manners. Chairman Stanton, don’t mind her.”
Floyd sighed lightly with regret. “It’s a pity my son works all day long and is busier than I am, so I barely
get to see him at home.” “It’s nice to have a daughter. Mr. Stanton, if only you had a daughter, we’d
probably become in-laws…”
