Ian’s mother looked thinner. She probably did not eat or sleep well because of this matter. Speaking of
this, Ian’s mother could not hold it back any longer and vented out all her anger. Adeline’s face turned
red and was extremely ugly. Ian’s mother’s words were so harsh. She was just shy of writing her dislike
for Adeline on her face.
Terrence also could not stand it, then glared at Ian and his mother fiercely. He forced a stiff smile and
pulled Adeline out of Ian’s office. He could force Ian to compromise, but he could not play any tricks in
front of Nicole. Ian’s mother spat fiercely. Her eyes reddened afterward.
She looked at Nicole and walked over.
”Thanks, Nicole. Thank you so much for today. You and Ian Back when lan was pursuing Nicole, lan’s
mother had gone to warn Nicole to stay away from her son. Now that she thought about it, she regretted
it.
In terms of status, looks, and character, Nicole could defeat all high-society ladies hands down. Why was
she so picky?
Being divorced was not the end of the world…
Nicole smiled. She was good at holding grudges and could still remember everything that Ian’s mother
said to her back then.
Her tone was dull, and her attitude was detached.
“Mrs. Carter, don’t worry about it. My father and Old Master Carter are good friends. Ian and I also grew
up together, so I ought to help when I can.” Nicole was not helping Ian because she had feelings for him,
so she did not want lan’s mother to misunderstand her. Ian’s mother also heard the avoidance in Nicole’s
words. She smiled awkwardly and sighed with disappointment. It was no use to feel regretful.
After all, the Carter family was now in a dire situation, so how could they rehash the past? Ian did not
notice the subtleties of the exchange between Nicole and his mother. He just pulled Nicole over and sat
down. ”Thank goodness you came! That Terrence Zabel even dared to question me if I was creating
scandals and putting pressure on him. Hmph! So what if he saw through it.”
Nicole laughed lightly. “You can’t let your guard down now. You have to investigate what happened as
soon as possible.” Ian’s mother knew that she was redundant here, so she did not say anything and
silently walked out. Ian’s eyes flashed. “Don’t worry, I’ve already asked people to investigate. His style
has always been unrestrained, so it won’t be difficult to dig up dirt. As long as there’s any improper
movement, I’ll kick him out of the board.” Nicole was relieved to see that lan had a plan. Thinking back,
Nicole could not help but laugh.
“Adeline Zabel doesn’t look like she’s more than a decade older than you. She seems to be very
infatuated with you as well…” Ian looked like he just ate a piece of sh”t and was completely disgusted.
“She goes to Korea for plastic surgery every few years and looks nothing like herself. Do you know why
Adeline Zabel got a divorce? She cheated on her husband and slept with gigolos.
Her husband went to the club and caught them red- handed. They made such a big fuss and divorced
afterward.” Nicole was so shocked that she did not know what to say. Sure enough, Nicole knew too little.
Nicole said a few words when she received a call from Kai. Eric had gone to the Stanton Mansion. This
news came as a shock.
The frequency of Eric’s visit to the Stanton Mansion was getting a bit too high for her liking. Nicole said
goodbye to lan and drove back to the Stanton Mansion. In the living room, Nicole did not see Eric. Kai
then pointed outside. ”He’s out there accompanying our father fishing…” Nicole frowned. “What is he
doing here?” Kai shrugged his shoulders. “Who knows?
Anyway, I don’t think there can be anything else besides coming to look for you. He probably saw the
news of you and Ian and can’t sit still!” Nicole was speechless. She went upstairs to change into
comfortable loungewear, then casually draped a warm blanket over her shoulders and went downstairs
lazily. Just in time, Floyd and Eric came in one after the other.
