Chapter 119

Nicole paused for a moment. Her eyebrows

moved slightly as she raised her eyelids

insouciantly, then hooked the corners of her lips.

“Mr. Ferguson, why do you want to know

this?”

‘Knowing the answer no longer had any

meaning now, is there?’ Nicole thought.

“Answer me.” Eric’s voice was deep, and his

eyes were bottomless like the ocean.

Nicole lowered her eyelids and smiled

gently.

“Because my family is very unimpressed

with you, but I was somehow blind and liked

you.”

That was why I turned my back on my

world, gave up my identity, and ran to him

with open arms. Unfortunately, he didn’t

catch me, and I fell to a painful death…’

“Fortunately, Fm not blind anymore.” Nicole

smiled faintly. It was extremely cold. “Mr. Ferguson, are you done talking? You might

as well go back and discuss with the old

man on how to word the apology.”

Nicole took a sip of red wine and retracted

her gaze. She turned on her heels and left

without saying another word.

Grant was mingling with the guests with

ease.

Floyd smiled and suddenly remembered

something, then walked up to Grant. “Where’

s K?

Why isn’t he present at such an important occasion?”‘ Kai, as one of Nicole’s scandalous boyfriends, was

also a famous movie star. Grant coughed. “He said he’d steal everyone’ s thunder by coming, so he’s at

home, sleeping…” Floyd coldly grunted. “What stupid thunder? Isn’t his title all paid for?” Kai, who was at

home enjoying the movie he was starring in, suddenly sneezed… When the party was about to end,

Yvette and

Julie dragged Nicole out and sneaked away. Tattle Bar. “Ferg, why’d you only come now when you called

us out earlier? We’re all waiting for you… As soon as Eric arrived, Keith Ludwig came up to him. Since

the Stantons spent so much money chartering the entire city’s building advertising space to announce

Nicole’s identity, coupled with the live photos of the gala circulating online, everyone knew of the earth-

shattering events that took place at Stanton Corporation’s anniversary gala.

Nicole was the heiress of Stanton Corporation. ‘Oh, God..! Keith thought about his attitude

towards Nicole during the past three years

and suddenly shuddered in fear,

Eric took the glass on the table that no one

had touched before and drunk the whiskey

in one gulp.

Everyone saw this and kept silent.

They still found it unbelievable. Who they thought was a pauper turned out to be a princess. No one

would be able to accept such a role reversal! Keith sighed. “Nicole really hid it too well. All of a sudden,

she just stood at the top of the food chain! Do you think she’ll settle scores with us?!” Eric, who had not

spoken, only grunted with a frown. “No, she’ll only look for me to settle the score.”

I’m the only one who treated her badly since the beginning…’ Eric thought. Someone next to them

questioned, “Is Nicole the illegitimate daughter of Floyd Stanton?’ ‘Otherwise, how come no one has

heard of her existence in the Stanton family before

this?’

Eric was doubtful. If Nicole was an

illegitimate daughter, why would Floyd

Stanton dare to announce her identity so

blatantly?

It was clear that the Stanton family had

been hiding information about her in order

to protect her.

Keith said, “Didn’t you guys follow her story

online? As soon as Nicole’s identity was

revealed, Stanton Corporation published her

past experiences. She was accepted into an

Ivy League when she was thirteen and even

got a full scholarship to further her studies

abroad. She graduated with a Ph.D. in only

four years!

She then went on to intern at one

of Europe’s top business firms and had close

dealings with a certain royal family. She’s

basically a living legend before she married

Ferg! No wonder even Grant Stanton is

willing to play second fiddle to her. Stanton

Corporation would definitely grow under

her leadership.”

Everyone was dead silent as they listened.

They used to look down on this woman.

They thought that she only married Eric

because she was just a gold-digger and a

scheming b*tch.

In the end, no one expected that they were

the ones who were too lowly for Nicole!

Seeing this, Keith went up and patted Eric’s

shoulder. Terg, come to think of it, why did

she marry you in the first place? She must’

ye really fallen in love with you, right? Why

though?”
