Chapter 111 Nicole Is Forbidden to Enter

Floyd Stanton raised his eyebrows and

glanced at Eric Ferguson, then shook his

head and said, “How could I possibly

imagine becoming in-laws with you? My

the daughter certainly doesn’t deserve such a

n exceptional man likes Mr. Ferguson

Old Master Ferguson paused, then

laughed and changed the subject.

Speaking of which, Stanton Corporation

was really messed up by that woman’s

scandalous background, right? The stock

market even began to stir…”

Wendy Quade pulled Ingrid Ferguson’s

hand and asked in a whisper, “Did you

really see it clearly? Why would Nicole

even be here at this time?”

“How could I be mistaken? My mother

was also present at that time…”

Wendy’s eyes narrowed.

She followed

Ingrid to the second floor and looked

down at the crowd that was filled with

people. There were all kinds of dresses,

and it was simply impossible to recognize

anyone.

“How can we find her like this…”

Ingrid scratched her head. “I don’t know

where she ran to hide, but since she’s

here, I doubt she’ll leave so easily. I think

she’s only here to force her hand in

marriage!”

Since Nicole had no way out, she had no

choice but to force Grant Stanton to marry

her.

A good show was about to begin!

Wendy suppressed the excitement in her

heart. ‘Looks like Nicole’s back is pushed

against the wall…’

Her eyes flickered and she grabbed

Ingrid’s hand. “I saw her! She’s there!”

Wendy reached out and pointed in the

direction of the doorway. Upon closer

look, it really looked like Nicole.

Nicole was wearing an ordinary dress and

seemed to be talking to someone at the

door. The man handed her a bouquet,

which she accepted.

“Aren’t you overseas? Why are you back

already?” Nicole asked.

Ian Carter looked dapper in his bespoke

suit. He was so tall and handsome, and

under the dim ambient light, his smile

was devilishly seductive.

“How can I be absent on your big day? I’ll

fly back as soon as the gala is over.”

Nicole was so shaken by Ian’s charming

smile that her hands paused for a

moment.

“Since you’re already here,

shouldn’t you greet your dad first? I saw

him around earlier…”

lan shook his head and helplessly

shrugged his shoulders. “He’ll either beat

me to death or die of a heart attack from

aggravation. It’s too much of a risk, so

why bother? That project abroad is almost

done, and my brother’s death anniversary

is coming up soon. By then, he will have no reason to force me to stay there

anymore.”

Nicole chuckled. “Great, then we’ll wait

for you to come back and host a big

welcome home reception for you.

“Deal!” Ian took advantage of Nicole’s

inattention to step forward and pull her

into his warm embrace. “Our Lil N is

finally coming back… I’m so happy for

you!”

Nicole’s hand was just about to push Ian

away, but he suddenly let go of her. “Go

on and get changed then. I need to find a

place to hide so my dad won’t spot me…”

She nodded and turned around, but saw

Eric standing not far away, staring at her

with deep eyes and frowning coldly.

with deep eyes and frowning coldly.

Nicole paused in her footsteps as Eric

came towards her in big strides.

“What a coincidence, Mr. Ferguson…”

Nicole raised her eyebrows and smiled.’

Was the scolding he received last time not

enough that he took the initiative to come

over for more?’

Eric’s gaze was cold and stern as he stared

at her. His tone was harsh as he said,

Why are you here, and cuddling with

other men at that?”

He was already shocked to see Nicole here.

He did not expect Nicole to show up in

such a dignified manner and even hug Ian

Carter so openly.

When Eric saw lan hugging Nicole, a wave

of uncontrollable rage rose in his chest,

which made him walk over in anger.

Nicole inclined her head and looked

around. ‘Luckily, no one else saw…’

“Can’t I be here? Whose rules said that I

can’t? Is ‘Nicole is forbidden to enter’

written at the door?”

“Do you know what kind of occasion this

is? Do you think your reputation isn’t bad

enough?”

“She’s involved with Grant Stanton yet

turns around and hugs Ian Carter so

intimately? This woman is really looking

for death…’ Eric thought.

“It’s all thanks to you that I have my

reputation today, isn’t it?”

‘He still has the cheek to mock me?! Eric

Ferguson is simply ridiculous!’ Nicole

thought.

To Eric, Nicole just looked like a stubborn

fool.

When she spoke, the corners of her lips

were hooked into a contemptuous smile,

not knowing whether she was laughing at

him or herself.

Everyone, including Eric Ferguson,

thought that Nicole should not appear at

this event.

They thought that she was simply out of

place and that she did not deserve to enter

their high society.

“Nicole, what are you up to?”
