Nicole and Julie stopped in their tracks.They looked at Ian incredulously.Nicole calmed down for a moment before speaking. “Hasn’t your family always been quite open-minded?”The Carter family always favored and pampered their children.Nicole was aware of that. After Ian’s brother passed away, the Carters’ 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. “That was before! Carter Corporation’s internal affairs have been a mess ever since Grandpa’s health deteriorated. Everyone began to seize power, and the one that’s been going against us insisted on marrying their daughter to me. Otherwise, he’ll drive our family out of Carter Corporation.”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.“How did

Eric’s eyes were cold and stern. The gloom on his face was frightening.Eric no longer wanted to try to woo Nicole slowly. He just wanted to knock her out and keep her hidden.He clenched his fists. The veins between his eyebrows were faintly bulging. His eyes were sharp and deep, and his voice was coarse and cold.“Take it down! Or else, crush the platform.”Mitchell’s face was solemn. He immediately nodded.“Yes, sir…”Eric did not want to see such news. If Mitchell continued to stay in the room, he would just be provoking Eric and looking for his own death.In less than twenty minutes, this news vanished just as quickly as it appeared.Soon, the news of a showbiz couple cheating dominated the headlines and trending topics.Nicole and Ian’s news was nowhere to be seen.However, Nicole did not mind because those few hours of hype were enough for people’s imagination to run wild.This news did not affect Stanton Corporation’s stock, but Carter Corporation’s stock shot up bec

Ian’s mother looked thinner. She probably did not eat or sleep well because of this matter.Speaking of this, Ian’s mother could not hold it back any longer and vented out all her anger. Adeline’s face turned red and was extremely ugly.Ian’s mother’s words were so harsh. She was just shy of writing her dislike for Adeline on her face.Terrence also could not stand it, then glared at Ian and his mother fiercely. He forced a stiff smile and pulled Adeline out of Ian’s office.He could force Ian to compromise, but he could not play any tricks in front of Nicole.Ian’s mother spat fiercely. Her eyes reddened afterward.She looked at Nicole and walked over.“Thanks, Nicole. Thank you so much for today. You and Ian…”Back when Ian was pursuing Nicole, Ian’s mother had gone to warn Nicole to stay away from her son.Now that she thought about it, she regretted it.In terms of status, looks, and character, Nicole could defeat all high-society ladies hands down.Why was she so pick

It turned out that this was why Eric did not make a move. He was investigating everything clearly.Nicole’s reaction was very calm. “I’m just helping a friend.”She closed the laptop and unplugged the flash drive. “I’ll get Ian to thank you properly.”This had nothing to do with her anyway.Eric’s handsome and serious face held a light smile. His voice was frigid.“No need. Ian’s elder brother was my brother in arms. I won’t stand by and watch their family fall. I hope that the incompetent Ian will grow a brain. What is his use if he can’t even keep this little bit of assets?”Nicole had nothing to say.She almost forgot that Eric had such a relationship with the Carter family.“Then you came here…”‘Is it just to give me the flash drive? This is too much of a roundabout way, right?’ Nicole thought.Eric’s gaze shifted to her reflection. “I’m just finding a reason to see you.”How direct!Eric was really outstanding.His eyes were so deep and filled with strong affection,

The surrounding people instantly quieted down.Nicole looked at them. “I’m not Lincoln Zelman or Hector Leach. I’ve never promised you anything. You took the state’s unemployment benefits and came here to muddle through life. I’ve paid you whatever wages that Zico Company owed you that’s on the books. I have more conscience than them!”Her voice was extremely cold. Her aura was so powerful that the people present were shocked.For a while, it was surprisingly quiet.Some people were restless and agitated. Someone in the crowd shouted, “That’s our salary! Since you bought the company, you should pay us. We demand the same compensation as those ten people earlier. We all work in the same place, so why didn’t we get the same treatment?”“That’s right! Why not?”“Yeah! You only paid us that little bit of money!”......Nicole’s gaze was icy as she glanced at the person who spoke. Her tone was overbearing.“There’s no labor contract, so we’re not obliged to give you any compensatio
