Everyone looked at the daughter of the Stanton family who was loved by all, with envy in their eyes.Grant smiled and approached Nicole.Nicole turned her head and glanced at him. “Is this also one of the programs?”‘I didn’t remember this being part of the plan…’Grand smiled faintly, his aura steady and reserved. “Of course not.”Then, his eyes narrowed slightly.He saw a man walking down the stairs on the other side not far away. His tone lightened considerably. “But I think I know who it is…”“Who?” Nicole asked him and followed his gaze.She stiffened slightly.Ian wore a tailor-made tuxedo. With the bewitching smile on his face, his charm was truly impossible to ignore.He held a large bouquet of delicate roses in his hands.What the roses meant was self-explanatory.He walked towards Nicole and stared at her with such deep affection.However, Nicole only stiffened.It was already too late to run.She instantly felt her scalp tingling.The people around them start

Eric’s face was cold and expressionless.His gaze was firmly fixed on Nicole’s face. “It’s so you can see for yourself that the ‘show’ you expected won’t happen.”There was a hint of anger suppressed in his voice, but it was more of a sullen coldness.He looked at her with an expressionless face and withdrew his arm.Eric was suppressing a carnal light in his eyes.He slowly unbuttoned his soiled jacket in front of Nicole.Then, he carelessly tossed it to the chair on the side.He did not even glance over.There was a touch of wildness in his reckless movement.With one hand, he tore off his tie with a sharp tug and threw it on top of the coat.The top button opened, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple. He looked charming and unkempt.An unruly coldness mingled in his aura.What a suffocating atmosphere.Nicole only froze for a moment before looking away.She suppressed her racing heartbeat.Her lips opened slowly.“Mr. Ferguson, you think too much. I never bother to think

Ian naturally did not dare to say anything. After all, they were his future brothers-in-law...He had to be polite!Ian smiled. His attitude became very warm and bright. “Don’t worry, this won’t happen again. I’ll keep my love for her hidden in the bottom of my heart…”Grant frowned. His gaze was dangerously sharp.Kai could not bear to listen further as goosebumps rose all over his skin. “Just shut up!”Nicole simply turned around and left expressionlessly.The band Kai invited was very good, and the live performance mesmerized the crowd.Many people were dancing and immersed in the music.Some people chatted in the small banquet hall to the side.Hearing the sound, Nicole walked over.Just as she reached the door, a person suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist.Nicole was dragged into the small banquet hall.“What are you doing here? Come here…”Nicole frowned. It was Jade Smith.She clearly did not invite them, yet they were so shameless to come uninvited.Well, Nic

Nicole deliberately did not lower her voice.As soon as she spoke, the attention of everyone on this side of the banquet hall was drawn to her.The atmosphere was frozen.A chill spread.Jade’s face instantly turned red with anger. “You… You’re so uncultured! How dare you talk to your elder like that?!”Nicole cast her a disdainful sidelong glance.It was just a glance, and she did not say anything, but it explained everything.Elder?Was she worthy?A homewrecker did not deserve to be respected by others.Lydia gnawed on her lower lips as her body tensed up. Her face flushed red with anger.She originally wanted to take this opportunity to socialize with other gentries and get close to Eric.However, everyone now knew the fact that she was not in fact a Stanton.Instead of running away like this, she might as well grit her teeth and make Nicole seem cold and cruel instead.No one would benefit from this farce!Lydia lowered her voice and sounded like she was about to cr

Nicole had only smelled that kind of cold and expensive perfume on Chloe Snyder before.During their first meeting at the auction, in Ian’s home, and at the banquet tonight… Chloe had used the same type of perfume.The person across from Nicole let out a soft laugh.“Ms. Stanton, you’re very smart... You actually recognized me?”Nicole could not be bothered to talk with her and rolled her eyes.Unfortunately, Chloe might not be able to see that eye roll.What a waste of emotion!Would Chloe Snyder, the legendary woman who created a business empire and was worshiped, praised, and thought of as someone who could achieve anything, kidnap Nicole?It was clear that Chloe did not do this on the spur of the moment, much less for money.“I’m afraid you didn’t bring me here to say something nice to me, right, Ms. Snyder? Then just get to the point. What do you want?”Chloe’s breath paused slightly.Nicole could feel the irritation and coldness that Chloe was desperately trying to con
