Chapter 114 Heiress
Once Floyd Stanton’s words fell, the
venue was deadly silent. Everyone was
just so shocked as if a bomb had dropped o
n them from out of nowhere.
At the same time, the congratulatory
words on the huge digital screens on all
the buildings outside that could be seen
from inside the venue were instantly
replaced with Nicole’s picture. Everyone i
n the entire city could see Nicole’s picture
as long as they looked up at those
buildings.
The Stanton family wanted everyone in
the world to know that Nicole Stanton’s
value was unparalleled.
Everyone present looked incredulous,
especially Old Master Ferguson, who was
standing in the forefront. His face was
stiff for a moment with an obscure
astonishment.
Eric Ferguson also stood there shocked
with complex bewilderment.
Ingrid and Quinn Ferguson were not as
calm as the Ferguson men. Quinn broke
the silence in the venue with her tense
and shrill voice as she shouted, ”
Impossible! She’s clearly an orphan with no money and background!”
“Shut up!” Old Master Ferguson rebuked
her with a dark and sullen face.
How could it be fake if Floyd Stanton
admitted it himself to the public?
Floyd Stanton ignored Quinn’s outburst
and continued to drop another bomb on
the crowd. “Now, I’d like to announce
that all of my shares in Stanton
Corporation will be transferred to Nicole
Nicole will become the person in
command of Stanton Corporation and my
designated successor.”
Boom!
In an instant, Nicole’s identity was
completely turned upside down. Not only
was she Floyd Stanton’s daughter, but she
was also the heiress of Stanton
Corporation.
From a woman who was berated and
mocked for being a gold digger and
wanting to marry into a rich family, she
had sprung to become a true billionaire
heiress!
Her status was beyond valuable.
The venue was suddenly abuzz, even the
media reporters refused to let go of this
historic moment.
Before everyone could finish digesting
this shocking fact, Grant Stanton, who
was on the side, walked up to his father
and nodded.
“Everyone…”
The crowd fell silent In an instant. Grant
Stanton on was still recognized as the person
in charge of Stanton Corporation.
In the industry, his words were p
and carried substantial weight.
Grant had a calm and doting smile on his
face as he looked at Nicole.
“To welcome my sister back home, I will
transfer ten percent of my shares in
Stanton Corporation to her. Now, as the
largest shareholder owning 71% of
Stanton Corporation’s shares, Nicole
Stanton will directly assume the position of CEO to Stanton Corporation from her
current position as Vice President.
As her older brother, I will always firmly support
any decision Nicole makes. I believe that
everyone, like me, is looking forward to
the future Nicole will lead us into.”
Once Grant Stanton finished his speech,
the crowd felt like another bomb had been
dropped on them. ‘The person in
command of Stanton Corporation
changed just like that? No fighting, no
gossip, no messy disputes…’
Nicole stood on the side looking calm, but
she still felt taken aback In her heart.
Grant had never mentioned that he would
l giving her a portion of his shares, so
t his all seemed too sudden. The entire
Stanton Corporation landed on her rf
shoulders just like that.
It felt like a mountain of gold landed right
in front of her. It was so huge that she
could not even see the top when she
looked up.
After the silence, thunderous applause
reverberated in the hall. The crowd was
cheering for the return of Nicole Stanton a
s well as Grant Stanton’s munificence.
When the applause died down, a reporter a
t the venue could not resist asking a
question. “Ms. Stanton, how do you feel
about the slanderous rumors about you on
the internet? May I ask if your divorce
from Mr. Eric Ferguson means a break
between Stanton Corporation and
Ferguson Corporation?”
The reporter seized the moment and did
not want to wait for the press conference
later because he might lose this first
opportunity.
Eric’s dark eyes instantly constricted. He
lifted his head and locked his gaze onto
the radiant and healitiftil woman standing
on stage.
Nicole did not dodge the question and
looked at the reporter frankly with a faint
smile.
“Please allow me to answer your second
question first. Back then, I concealed my
identity to marry Mr. Ferguson, so that
marriage was not a business alliance and
did not represent Stanton Corporation’s
stance. To be precise, this failed marriage is due to my youthful moment of
impulsiveness. My foolish mistakes of the
past are mine to bear alone, and I fully
accept the failure of this marriage. This
divorce is for me to move on to the correct
path for the future.
As for those
slandering rumors…”
Nicole disdainfully hooked the corners of
her lips as she swept a glance at Old
Master Ferguson and Eric Ferguson. She
raised her eyebrows and continued, ”
Perhaps if I had informed them of my real
identity sooner, there wouldn’t have been
such a farce for the past few days. I am

her lips as she swept a glance at Old
Master Ferguson and Eric Ferguson. She
raised her eyebrows and continued, ”
Perhaps if I had informed them of my real
identity sooner, there wouldn’t have been
such a farce for the past few days.
I am eternally grateful that I am Floyd
Stanton’s daughter and can have this
opportunity to stand here and clarify
everything. Though I can’t say the same if
this were to happen to an ordinary person…
