Chapter 21

For a moment, the atmosphere in the

meeting room was tense and awkwardly

silent.

Samantha Lindt felt humiliated. She had

been in the company for so many years

and got to her position with a lot of effort,

so she did not mean to leave just like that.

Grant Stanton standing up for the

newcomer Nicole was also a slap in the

face for Samantha.

The meeting room was silent, and

everyone looked at each other.

Nicole frowned slightly. She did not want t

o be targeted the moment she took

office. Just as she was about to ease the

tension in the room, Samantha stood up apprchensively with a flushed lace

“President Stanton, I’m sorry for my

transgression. I respect the company’s

decision and will work well with Ms.

Nicole.”

“Good. Meeting adjourned.’

Grant Stanton did not say much.

He dict not want to waste another minute and

left the meeting room in an imposing

manner.

Samantha then let out a long breath of

relief.

Although many others had opinions

about Nicole’s arrival, they dared not

oppose Grant Stanton’s authority.

Nicole was also not bothered by this little

episode because she would prove her

capabilities over time.

when Logan arrived at Nicole’s office, he

was very respectful. “Ms. Nicole, I’ll be your assistant from today. so you can inform me if you have any

orders.“ Nicole knew that Logan was Grant’s right- hand man, so having him by her side would be very

helpful. “Thank you.

The President mentioned something about J& L’s project previously, so please get me all the

information on J&L Corporation.” Logan nodded. “Sure, I’ll get it ready for you.” After Logan left, Yvette

waltzed in and swung her phone by the strap on her phone case.

“Baby, my office is right next door, so we’ll be working side by side from now on.” Nicole smiled and

was in a particularly good mood. Her relationship with Yvette was back to how it was before she

impulsively married Eric Ferguson.

‘This job will be harder at first, but it gets better.” Yvette sneered and did a hair flip. “I’m not scared. By

the way, let me show you something.” She smiled and handed Nicole her phone. Nicole looked at it

quizzically and was dumbfounded when she saw the contents.

There was a new wave of comments

online because Yvette had sent the full

video of last night’s incident to many

influencers, who helped spread the

message.

Through this video, everyone could see that the gangster first tried to take advantage of the drunk

Yvette, but Nicole taught him a hard lesson and finally took Yvette out of the bar with her. This stirred a

lot of debate online.

IOMG! How cool is she?! I wouldn’t need a boyfriend if I had a good friend like her!) [She’s such a cool

and valiant young lady! Now l understand why she got divorced and left such a wealthy family] [Nicole

is my goddessll [She should be a celebrityll [My heroine! Please give me your numberl! 1

Nicole was on the top trending topics again. She looked at Yvette helplessly. ‘ Did you purposely go to

get the surveillance footage last night?“ Yvette lifted her chin arrogantly and said, ‘ Nah, it’s nothing,

just a matter of one phone call. l won’t allow anyone to

slander you under my watch!”

Nicole laughed. “Whatever, it’s not a big

deal anyway.”

“Then do you know who’s behind all this?”

Nicole shook her head but a name

flashed across her mind. Yvette told her

frankly, “It’s Eric Ferguson’s best friend,

Keith Ludwig!”

Sure enough, it was not far off from

Nicole’s guess.

Whether it was Ingrid

Ferguson or Keith Ludwig, both of them

were still related to Eric Ferguson.

Nicole snorted. Her face turned slightly

colder. She would not have cared if she

was clueless about this, but since she

was aware of it, she could not let him get

away so easily.

“Call Dominic Young, I want dirt on Keith

Ludwig!“

“Now this is the Nicole Stanton I’m

familiar with. We must get our revenge!

Don’t worry, I already have what we need t

o put him in his place.”

Yvette had already dug up dirt on Keith

Ludwig long ago.

She sent all of it to Nicole, who took her pick and selected

one of the photos. In that picture, Keith

was wearing swim shorts at some party

and was hugging a few girls left and

right. It was back when he just got

married.

Nicole posted the photo with a caption.

[If you have a beef with me, just come at

me directly. I’ll retaliate openly and

certainly won’t stoop so low to create

misconceptions by hiring paparazzi to

edit clips. Mr. Ludwig, you should just

look out for yourself.]
