Chapter 116
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
At the same time, the photos from Stanton
Corporationâs anniversary gala had already
set off shocking waves on the Internet.
The picture of Nicole on the digital
signboard atop the Pearl Tower across the
river was the most direct way to announce
her identity.
[0MG, this is legendary! A billionaire
heiress hides her own identity to marry a
guy below her status and reveals herself to
be the richest young woman after their
divorce?!
This plot is like a TV show!]
[The Ferguson family is horrendous! They
think Nicoleâs easy to bully and even hired
keyboard warriors to insult her⦠Donât they
feel ashamed for treating a lady like that?]
[Nicoleâs comeback is awesome!]
[Yasss kween! Nicole, you rock! I love you
[I passed by a dozen intersections earlier
and saw Nicoleâs picture plastered on every building. She hands down beat all those
actresses that wanted to fight for those
advertising spaces. Iâm witnessing history
in the making!]
[Nicole is @RichBaby?! Her nickname is too
straightforward, right? Why is she so cute?!]
Inside the banquet hall, Nicoleâs act of
squandering $800 million did not cause the
crowdâs antipathy. Instead, they all felt
touched that Nicole truly cared for every
employee in her company.
After everyone marveled at her generosity,
Nicole carelessly swept her gaze to Old
Master Ferguson with a light mockery in
her pretty eyes.
âBesides that, when I was at a charity
auction earlier this month, I bought an
emerald pipe from Mrs. Fergusonâ¦â
Nicole paused and watched as Old Master
Fergusonâs expression turned into panic,
then continued to speak slowly, *Chairman
Ferguson, Iâve decidedâ¦-
âWait!â Old Master Ferguson could not bear
it any longer and stepped forward, interrupting her words. He could tolerate that Nicole hid her identity,
deceived them, and made his family a laughing stock, but the emerald pipe absolutely could not fall into
the hands of others! `Nicole, you know that the emerald pipe is my family heirloom. Now, Iâm willing to
buy it back from you at ten times the price.
Consider the extra money as compensation for you from our family.â The first to speak always had the
upper hand. Old Master Ferguson thought that Nicole was still a little too inexperienced to go up against
an old-timer like him. Nicole spent $30 million to buy that emerald pipe. Now that it had inflated to $300
million, it was simply more than anyone could ask for.
Although this was a pretty sizable amount for many, for Nicole Stanton, this was equivalent to a slap in
the face.
Feeling the tense atmosphere between
Nicole and Old Master Ferguson, everyoneâs
eyes fell on Nicole.
Her smile was bright and stunning, and her eyes glittered like the stars. She spoke unhurriedly,
âChairman Ferguson, Iâm so rich and certainly donât need that petty cash from you⦠The emerald pipeâs
value can no longer be quantified by money. Since itâs of such significant historic value, Iâve decided to
donate this artifact, free of charge, to the National Museum.â
Nicole beamed and tilted her head to the side, then extended her arm to invite the person standing there.
âThis is the Director of the National Museum. All of you here play witness to this moment in history in
which this emerald pipe finds its most fitting home in the museum for all those who love and respect
history. In the future, everyone can share the story of this emerald pipe and I think this is much more
valuable than it will be in the hands of Chairman Ferguson alone.
Hence, Chairman Ferguson will certainly support my thoughtful decision.â The man who came over to
Nicole on stage
looked mature and respectable. He brought
over two of his subordinates and gave a
simple speech of gratitude. Then, in the
presence of the guests, the man took the box
containing the emerald pipe from Nicoleâs
hands and left with it.
Floyd Stanton looked at his daughter and
felt very pleased with her performance. He
came on stage to say a few more words and
gave everyone the green light to mingle
around as they wished. As for the Ferguson
family, Floyd Stanton would not let them get
away so easilyâ¦
At this time, Old Master Fergusonâs face
flushed red with anger. He was so vexed
that he could not even speak.
Nicole had defeated him using her own
means and had completely put an end to
Old Master Fergusonâs plans of getting back
his emerald pipe.
If she had sold it to other people, the
Fergusons would still be able to buy it back
because they were willing to pay any price
for it.
On the contrary, Nicole had made this
an unexpected move to donate the emerald
pipe to the National Museum, and more
importantly, with so many influential
Even if Old Master Ferguson had the ability,
he would not dare to take from the museum!
Undoubtedly, he had utterly lost this game!
âLetâs go!â
Old Master Ferguson turned around and left.
He could not care less about pleasantries
and did not want to stay here for another
moment.
âChairman Ferguson, a minute please!â
Floyd Stanton slowly walked over with
Nicole. Both of them were smiling very
cheerfully.
