Chapter 2613 Covert

Floyd would not let Noah destroy the company.

For this reason, he would rather disown his younger brother.

Grant’s face was stern, and he was exuding a chill.

“Dad, according to the company’s regulations, it is illegal to transfer shares without the approval of the

shareholders. The contract he signed has also affected the interests of the company. It’ll be kind of us

to kick him out of the company. I don’t think there is any need to continue giving him the annual

dividends. He’s not capable enough to find a job on his own. Our family has been supporting him

financially for decades. Isn’t it enough?”

Floyd closed his eyes and did not speak. He looked to be in a dilemma.

After all, Noah was his brother. Although Noah had bad intentions, Floyd had been tolerant of him

many times.

Now that Floyd was pushed over the cliff, he had to make a decision and felt uncomfortable.

Nicole snorted coldly.

“Dad, we can’t keep him around. We’re not sending him to jail because he’s our relative. You treat him

as a brother, but he treats you as a fool. He wants to destroy Stanton Corporation. If you let him go this

time, he will only find another way to cause us more trouble. Do you think that there will be more

people like Eric, who wouldn’t take a bite out of such a big piece of pie?”

Floyd’s eyebrows twitched.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

Floyd gritted his teeth. His face was cold.

“I’ll give him one last chance tonight. It’s what I owe him as a brother. If he can take the initiative to

admit his mistakes, please let him go this time for my sake. But I will ask him to leave Stanton

Corporation and you can take all the power in Jericho City back. But if he still refuses to admit his

mistakes and continues down this path, then I won’t show him mercy anymore.”

Nicole and Grant looked at each other.

Both of them understood that this was a big concession from Floyd.

However, they were not worried because they did not believe that Noah would admit his mistake.

Noah was so close to success. How could he regret his actions so easily if there was no real threat?

The guests outside were in full attendance. Everyone was chatting with each other, and it was very

lively.

The banquet was organized uniquely, and the poetry reading on the stage added more color to the

event.

Selena was saying hello to Aida. They were not familiar with each other, but Aida had an attractive

vibe. She was the most eye-catching presence in the crowd.

Selena had heard Nicole mention her sister-in-law. Aida was highly-educated and emotionally

intelligent. She was also beautiful and capable.

Looking at Aida today, Selena felt enviable.

Although Selena ran a small bar, she was still too far away compared to Aida.

After Aida finished chatting with others, she turned her head and saw Selena.

Aida walked over with a kind smile.

“How are you, Mrs. Ferguson?”

“You know me?”

“Of course! I went to your wedding, but I came back a day later because my son at home suddenly had

a fever. I was really worried, but he’s much better now.”

Aida’s voice was soft and sweet, like the feeling of spring breeze blowing on Selena’s face.

Selena smiled. “That’s good. Children need more attention.”

While the two were talking, a man came over and smiled darkly.

“Aida, where’s Grant?”

“Uncle Noah, Grant went to look for Dad.”

“In that case, you should accompany me to greet the guests.”

Noah casually bossed Aida around. Everyone said that Aida had a good temper and that she was a

soft person. Thus, Noah thought that he could order her around.

Aida was beautiful. Otherwise, someone with such strong self-control like Grant would not have been

infatuated with her.

Especially after giving birth, Aida’s body was even more stunning.

However, Aida was a mere woman. There were women like her everywhere.

Aida had no sense of presence in the Stanton family. She was just a little invisible woman who was in

the way.

She did not even join Stanton Corporation, so Noah thought that Aida must not be capable enough.

Grant could still tell the difference.

Aida smiled and looked at Noah politely.

“Uncle Noah, I’m talking to a guest, so I won’t accompany you. You can go by yourself.”

She smiled slightly, then turned to look at Selena.

“Mrs. Ferguson, Levi and Chance are good friends. Please let Chance come over more often for play

dates.”

Selena nodded in a daze.

What Noah said just now was short of a blunt order.

He did not show Aida much respect either.

That tone and attitude suddenly made Selena think of someone.

How strange. Why did she suddenly think of that “Mr. Stanton” from her mother’s diary?

In the diary, her mother was powerless against Mr. Stanton’s power and was forced to obey.

However, Aida refused without hesitation or changing her expression.

Only then did Noah see Selena who was opposite Aida. He paused slightly.

Noah went elsewhere. When he came back, he held a glass of rainbow cocktail and handed it to

Selena.

“Mrs. Ferguson, since you’re here, I presume that Mr. Ferguson is here too. I’ll have a few more drinks

with him in a while. It’s really nice for him to come.”

Selena was a little uncomfortable with Noah’s attitude, but she accepted the drink politely.

“Thanks.”

“Why don’t you try this cocktail? I heard that you run a bar, so you must have studied a lot about

alcohol. I have tried almost all the drinks here. This Rainbow Cocktail is most suitable for women since

the alcohol content is low.”

Noah looked at Selena politely as if waiting for her to express her feelings.

Selena paused and felt a little uncomfortable.

Aida paused, then said with a smile, “Uncle Noah, aren’t you going to greet the guests? Just leave the

lady guests to me, lest the other guests say that we’re neglecting them!”

Noah took a meaningful look at Aida.

“Is there a difference between men and women when entertaining guests? You’ve been in the Stanton

family for a long time, but you don’t even understand this? On this kind of occasion, you should also be

greeting the male guests. You’re Grant’s wife, so why are you so petty?”

Noah mercilessly accused Aida in front of Selena, an outsider.

Selena was stunned.

Aida paused slightly. Her face turned pale, and she clenched her fists tightly.

“Uncle Noah, you must be joking. I am indeed Grant’s wife, but my husband and brother-in-law are free

to entertain the male guests. Besides, Nicole is also here. It’s not my turn to take the lead. Dad also

said that I should take it easy because I still have to take care of the children.”

“Hmph! You just like to make excuses for yourself because you’re not capable. Why don’t you take a

look around? Which wife doesn’t socialize with her husband?”

Noah accused Aida and even dared to diss her.

Aida chuckled. Her voice was soft like silk.

“Uncle Noah, you must be kidding. My husband is talking about business. I just don’t feel like

socializing with you.”

There was a hint of sharpness in her soft tone.

It made Noah’s face turn glum.

Noah did not gain the upper hand in front of outsiders.

“You…”

Aida looked away, turned to Selena, and smiled slightly. She looked gentle and generous.

“Mrs. Ferguson, will you sit with me over there?”

“Mrs. Ferguson, you still haven’t told me how this cocktail tastes.”
