Chapter 732
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Nicole and Julie stopped in their tracks. They looked at Ian incredulously.
Nicole calmed down for a moment before speaking. â
Hasnât your family always been quite open-minded?â
The Carter family always favored and pampered their children.
Nicole was aware of that. After Ianâs brother passed away, the Cartersâ love for Ian became even more
indulgent. Ian could get whatever he wanted. Even if they were mad at Ian, they would hardly reprimand
him.
Ian even squeezed out a few tears. âThat was before! Carter Corporationâs internal affairs have been a
mess ever since Grandpaâs health deteriorated. Everyone began to seize power, and the one thatâs been
going against us insisted on marrying their daughter to me. Otherwise, heâll drive our family out of Carter
Corporation.â
Nicole was shocked for a while. She was not clear about the internal affairs of Carter Corporation, but
she was surprised that the Carters did not notice that a shareholder had seized power to such an extent.
âHow did such a big thing happen to your family all of a sudden?â
Ian paused for a moment. His voice was hoarse.
âIâve never cared about the companyâs affairs. The shareholders in the company are my grandpaâs aides,
but they suddenly betrayed us. I didnât even dare to tell Grandpa about it. Iâm afraid that heâll die from
angerâ¦â
Nicole and Julie looked at each other, then cast a Sympathetic glance at Ian.
Ian, the hand-off boss, encountered a big problem that he simply could not solve.
The three people sat there, thinking hard about a solution. At some point, Ian started crying again.
Julie looked at him with disgust.
Nicole paused for a moment. âUm⦠Is that woman pretty?â
âIf sheâs tolerable, Ian can compromise first and fight back laterâ¦â Nicole thought.
Ianâs cries became more intense. âSheâs eleven years older than me and divorcedâ¦â
Nicole and Julie were speechless. Poor Ian!
It seemed that Ian would never compromise willingly.
Julie thought about it and proposed.
âActually, itâs not impossible to turn this situation aroundâ¦â
Nicole and Ian looked at her.
Julie smiled. âJust find a more reliable alliance, secretly collect those peopleâs weaknesses, and crush
them slowly. You should prepare yourself for both eventualities.â
The two others were silent.
Where would Ian find a more reliable person to marry?
Julie winked at Nicole. Nicole then pointed at herself, âWith me?â
âI need to sacrifice myself?â Nicole thought. Julie nodded.
âNot a real marriage, just a signal to the outside world.
Stanton Corporationâs background is big enough that those people will think twice about it.â
Nicole paused and pondered for a moment. âActually, I think that if youâre really not interested in
managing the company, why donât you get professional managers to keep an eye on it for you? You can
just take a back seat and still hold power. That way, others wonât scheme against you. Of course, this is
all for later. Now, itâs more important to solve this problem. If you need my help, I can cooperate with
youâ¦â
Anyway, this was all an act. Nicole did not feel like she would lose anything as long as it could help Ian.
She could not just stand by and watch him go bankrupt.
Ian sniffled and suddenly reached out to hug his besties.
âYou guys are the best! I love you guys!â
Julie and Nicole speechlessly rolled their eyes and immediately pushed him away.
âDonât get sappy!â
They came up with a plan and went back to their own homes.
Early the next day.
It was snowing outside. The ground was white, even the tree branches had a thick layer of snow.
After Nicole got up, she dressed up meticulously and picked an eye-catching dress.
When she went downstairs, Kai took a look and asked, âAre you going on a date?â
Floyd raised his eyes. âDonât be ridiculous. Your sisterâs beauty just canât be concealed at all!â
Kai was speechless.
