After settling this matter, Nicole was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.Yvette invited Nicole to go shopping, so Nicole happily agreed to it.Inside the mall.The two ladies walked around and somehow walked to a car showroom.An extremely bright and eye-catching Aston Martin was parked in the center.Even Nicole could not help but stop to admire its beauty.The design was sleek and beautiful.This was the first of this model released in Mediania.Nicole was fascinated by it and muttered, “Such a beautiful car should be put in my garage…”The corners of Yvette’s lips twitched. ‘Look at this snob!’At this moment, the salesperson came by and saw two ladies dressed in expensive clothes. Moreover, since Nicole was a frequent visitor in the trending topics recently, he recognized Nicole at a glance.After all, Nicole throwing $800 million and $2 billion at things left a deep impression in everyone’s hearts.The salesperson thought, ‘If I can get her to buy this car, I m

Nicole rested her elbows on the coffee table, cupped her face with both hands, and asked Chloe the question with a tilt of her head.One second... Two seconds...Three seconds...There was no answer from Chloe, so she acquiesced to it.Nicole smiled knowingly.Having her innermost thoughts exposed, Chloe’s calm and emotionless eyes finally carried a hint of annoyance.“I just can’t stand seeing you treating others like a side dish. Do you think it’s very fulfilling?”“What?”Chloe’s words were harsh to hear.“Am I wrong? Second Young Master Carter has feelings for you, but you just keep leading him on. Is that not treating him like a side dish?” Chloe questioned Nicole bluntly.Yvette could not help but speak up. “When did you ever see Nicole leading Ian on? What do you know about our relationship anyway?”Chloe looked embarrassed, but she still refused to back down.“Just because you’re close friends, it’s fine for Ms. Stanton to play with his feelings without any guilt?

Eric’s face was glum. His eyes were imperceptible and bottomless like the ocean.The corners of his lips were taut as he stared at Nicole.Their eyes met, and time seemed to stop for an instant. After a while, Nicole retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes slightly. Her face was indifferent.This project was a sure win.There was no risk to speak of and was different from J&L Corporation’s artificial intelligence project.‘So… Why?’Nicole was baffled.Eric paused and hesitated slightly. “There’s no specific reason. You can choose to say yes or no.”Nicole heard this and felt her heart sinking.She seemed to realize something.Nicole hooked up the corners of her lips mockingly and said, “Mr. Ferguson, you’re deliberately giving me this as compensation for the divorce, right?”She could not think of any other reason but that.Perhaps Nicole’s words were a test.If Eric dared to say a yes, her slap would land on his face at the same moment. If she was not the heiress of

The curator said, “This painting is Mr. Wilheim’s artwork. He usually doesn’t sell his work. Oh, look, here he comes…”As they were talking, an old man with a white beard walked towards them with a steady and powerful gait, clutching a cane.Mr. Wilheim was a Medianian that had migrated to Liberty long ago. He was an internationally renowned painter, and his paintings were hard to find.Ian’s mother, Gillian, had certainly heard of Mr. Wilheim’s thundering name.In addition to jewelry, bags, and other luxury items, all women of high society would collect works of art by famous artists at home. Otherwise, they would be ridiculed as a parvenu.However, Mr. Wilheim’s paintings were not something that could be bought with money.This old man had a strange temperament and was fussy about his buyers.Gillian thought, ‘If I could buy his painting, wouldn’t I be more respected in my circle?’In the blink of an eye, the old man with the white beard had arrived in front of them.The cur

Nicole was a little hesitant when she received the invitation to the Carter family’s banquet.Since Ian had feelings for her, Nicole subconsciously did not want to get too involved with the Carter family.However, on second thought, this might just be a polite way to thank her for the painting.It would be petty of her to overthink things.When Nicole arrived at the Carter mansion as promised, she unexpectedly saw Chloe Snyder there as well.Chloe came earlier than she did.She was laughing with Old Master Carter and Gillian.Nicole handed over the painting she had gotten, “The Blazing Sun”.Gillian thanked her and took a glance at it.Her face stiffened slightly, but it only lasted for a moment before she regained composure.Nicole did not notice this change.She went up to greet Old Master Carter.Ian had been hiding out upstairs until he heard Nicole’s voice. He hurriedly came downstairs and smiled in surprise.“Lil N, come on up! I just flipped through our yearbook and
