Chapter 110 Outcast
Outside the bathroom stall, Quinn and
Ingrid Ferguson were shaken.
“You… How did you get in here?” Ingrid
spoke in surprise and thought, ‘Wasn’t
Nicole kicked out of Stanton Corporation?’
Quinn was also slightly stunned, but
quickly covered it up and smiled calmly.
“She’s probably here to die. Nicole, you
should know when to stop.
Not every rich
family will accept trash… Let alone
secondhand trash…”
Ingrid felt emboldened. “Yeah, are you
here to make trouble? Too bad, no one will
help you anymore. The Stanton family
doesn’t want you, so your backer is gone
Nicole lowered her head and smiled, then
cast a sidelong glance at them and walked
out without saying a word.
Ingrid was blocking the doorway and did
not intend to give way to Nicole.
Thus, Nicole just shoved Ingrid to the side
when she passed her by. Ingrid was
caught off guard as her body slanted to
caught off guard a er body slanted to
the side and hit the wall. She was in pain
and was just about to curse at Nicole when
she suddenly saw Nicole’s cold dark eyes
that looked askance at her.
She was so
scared that she dared not say a word.
After Nicole’s figure gradually faded
away, Ingrid rubbed her shoulder that was
hurt by the impact and bared her teeth.”
She’s already an outcast. How dare she
throw a fit?! Sooner or later, I’ll show her
who’s boss!”
In the center of the banquet hall, the
Stanton father-and-son pair calmly
exchanged pleasantries with their guests.
Although Floyd Stanton had retired and
taken a back seat in the company, he still
did not look a day over fifty as he kept a
good exercise routine. Standing next to
Grant, Floyd looked more like an older
brother.
“Chairman Stanton!”
“Chairman Ferguson, what an honor.”
Floyd Stanton shook hands with Old
Master Ferguson and greeted him in a
cold voice.
Eric bowed slightly. “Uncle Floyd.”
“No, no… Just call me Chairman Stanton.”
Floyd laughed without accepting Eric’s
greeting
Eric was stunned for a moment but
quickly regained composure. Although
they had dealt with each other frequently
in business, they did not have much of a
personal connection. Floyd was clearly
drawing a clear line with the Fergusons
privately based on his cold attitude, which
puzzled Eric.
Old Master Ferguson did not notice this
and was only exchanging pleasantries
with Floyd. Grant Stanton, who was
standing on the other side, smirked and
looked at Wendy Quade who was beside
Eric. He lifted his glass and said, “Mr.
Ferguson, no wonder you’re so relentless
towards your ex-wife. It looks like you’ll be
announcing your marital news again,
huh? I wonder which family’s daughter
can make Mr. Ferguson so devoted to
her?”
No matter how slow-witted Eric Ferguson
was, he could hear the mockery in Grant’s
words. His eyebrows were slightly
knitted, and his face was somewhat sullen
knitted, and his face as somewhat sullen
and cold. Eric did not like other people
prying into his personal affairs, not to
mention, Grant had an ongoing scandal
with Nicole.
‘Is he trying to get justice for Nicole?’ Eric
thought
Eric’s eyes were cold. Wendy heard this
and could not wait to make a self-
introduction. “I grew up abroad. My
eldest uncle is the Chairman of FQ
Enterprise.”
Grant nodded politely. “I see.”
“Mr. Stanton, do you know my eldest
uncle?”
Wendy’s eyes lit up.
Grant’s smile was cold with
condescending scrutiny, but his voice was
calm and polite. “No, I’ve never heard of
him.”
Wendy’s smile froze as she felt
embarrassed. Although Grant did not say
it directly, Wendy could feel the contempt in
his words.
Even so, Wendy still thought that she was
much better off than Nicole, who had
nothing to her name. Thus, Wendy did not
care about Grant’s attitude towards her.
De
“But the two of you do look good
together,” Grant added. Wendy bowed her
head and smiled shyly, while Eric’s face
sank.
“Mr. Stanton, are you so curious about my
personal matters?” There was a slight dip
between his eyebrows.
Grant smiled calmly and faintly, then
pursed his lips. “Maybe.”
He still wanted to say something, but
Ingrid ran over from a distance while
holding the hem of her dress. “Wendy…”
Eric’s face was grim. “Where are your
manners?”
Ingrid was so frightened that she
immediately stood upright and carefully
walked up to them. She then whispered a
few words into Wendy’s ear. Wendy’s face
lit up and the two girls ran away hand in
hand without greeting anyone
Eric narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction.
Grant did not care. Floyd, who was on the
side, saw this and smiled. “Ms. Ferguson I
really bubbly It must be a very lively
side, saw this and sed. “Ms. Ferguson is
really bubbly. It must be very lively at
home…”
Old Master Ferguson laughed. “She’s just
spoiled and forgot all her manners.
Chairman Stanton, don’t mind her.”
Floyd sighed lightly with regret. “It’s a
pity my son works all day long and is
busier than I am, so I barely get to see him
at home.”
“It’s nice to have a daughter. Mr. Stanton,
if only you had a daughter, we’d probably
become in-laws…”
