Nicole and Julie went back to the banquet hall. Everyone started to mingle and laugh with each other. It was as if that little episode earlier did not exist at all.Knowing Nicole’s identity, no one dared to force her to drink. They only exchanged some pleasantries and kept their distance.Nicole felt a little tired, so she walked to a small balcony where it was quiet and peaceful. She looked out through the window and saw the glimmering lights reflecting on a lake not far away. She could also smell a nice floral fragrance.Just when she finally felt relaxed, she heard footsteps approaching.“Nicole, why are you here?”It was Keith Ludwig.Nicole’s relaxed face instantly had a hint of displeasure. She cast a cold sidelong glance at him. “Do I need your permission to be somewhere?”‘Otherwise, stop being so nosy!’Keith braced himself and decided to go over to say a few words for his friend. “Nicole, I didn’t mean that. That watch earlier... Why didn’t you get it for Eric? He

Word got out that one of the companies under Stanton Corporation was selecting a spokesperson for men’s accessories.Thus, many agencies wanted to recommend their artists for the job.After all, Stanton Corporation had very high standards and strict requirements for selecting a spokesperson, so being selected would prove their status in the circle.Stanton Corporation.Nicole looked over the photos of so many artists that she felt a little dazzled.Logan, who was at the side, was in deep thought for a moment. He then told her about the news he had just heard.“President, HS Corporation bailed Jenny Lynch out today and subtly instated her as Vice President of HS Corporation. Luna has been repatriated.”‘Bailed out?’ Nicole raised her eyebrows. She was not really surprised about Luna’s repatriation because that was a piece of cake for the Carter family.Bailing out Jenny was also easy with HS Corporation’s ability.After all, Jenny was not guilty of a huge, unforgivable crime.

Jenny Lynch took two steps back in a panic and almost fell to the ground.Before Jenny could stand firm, Luna pounced on her again.“When you used me to deal with Nicole, why didn’t you tell me that Nicole is the heiress of Stanton Corporation? Their family is the real giant in the industry! My family’s company used so much effort to get into business with Stanton Corporation in Korea, but you ruined it all! You even ruined my future!” Luna yelled without caring about the impact of her words.The reporters did not let go of any moment.The flashes from the cameras were incessant.The live broadcast was still ongoing.Every word Luna said was extraordinarily thought-provoking.This farce brought a negative impact on HS Corporation’s reputation.Finally, the bodyguards from behind managed to pull Luna away from Jenny Lynch.At this time, Jenny’s hair was messy, and her clothes were torn. There were scratch marks on her face.She simply looked wretched.The former movie star’

On the side.The bartender, who heard Nicole and Yvette’s conversation, twitched the corners of his lips.Sure enough, only Nicole could describe Eric Ferguson as worthless in this whole world.Wait...The bartender looked up and suddenly saw a tall, well-built man standing behind the two ladies.The man’s features in the dim light looked like Eric Ferguson.His hand trembled. The glass in the bartender’s hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.“M-Mr. F-Ferguson?”Nicole and Yvette froze for a moment.The two of them had an extremely tacit understanding, so neither of them turned around.Speak of the devil!Nicole’s mood was a bit complicated.She could feel a burning gaze behind her like it would pierce through her.Her scalp was tingling.Nicole quickly calmed down and thought, ‘What should I be afraid of?! Even if I say it in his face, it’s not wrong, because, to me, Eric Ferguson is indeed worthless!’With that thought, Nicole relaxed and turned her head.Th

If Ferguson Corporation and Snyder Corporation were working together, the chances of them winning this bid were even bigger.Nicole maintained a decent smile, but she was a little worried in her heart.Perhaps, this trip was going to be a fruitless one.Even so, Nicole refused to let go so easily.She gestured for Logan to continue.“$45 billion.”The venue was silent.The real bidding had just begun.The bidding war between those who had true power officially started.Chloe Snyder glanced in Nicole’s direction with a burning gaze.There was no hesitation.“$48 billion.”If they went any further, that would be close to Nicole’s base price.Even if Stanton Corporation could afford it, there was not much benefit in buying this piece of land that would only bring them very little profit within a few decades.After some thought, Nicole looked at Logan and nodded.“$49 billion.”This was their final price.Chloe also began to waver.Nicole then knew that their limit must h
