At the same time, the photos from Stanton
Corporation’s anniversary gala had already
set off shocking waves on the Internet.
The picture of Nicole on the digital
signboard atop the Pearl Tower across the
river was the most direct way to announce
her identity.
[0MG, this is legendary! A billionaire
heiress hides her own identity to marry a
guy below her status and reveals herself to
be the richest young woman after their
divorce?!
This plot is like a TV show!]
[The Ferguson family is horrendous! They
think Nicole’s easy to bully and even hired
keyboard warriors to insult her… Don’t they
feel ashamed for treating a lady like that?]
[Nicole’s comeback is awesome!]
[Yasss kween! Nicole, you rock! I love you
[I passed by a dozen intersections earlier
and saw Nicole’s picture plastered on every
building. She hands down beat all those
actresses that wanted to fight for those
advertising spaces. I’m witnessing history
in the making!]
[Nicole is @RichBaby?! Her nickname is too
straightforward, right? Why is she so cute?!]
Inside the banquet hall, Nicole’s act of
squandering $800 million did not cause the
crowd’s antipathy. Instead, they all felt
touched that Nicole truly cared for every
employee in her company.
After everyone marveled at her generosity,
Nicole carelessly swept her gaze to Old
Master Ferguson with a light mockery in
her pretty eyes.
‘Besides that, when I was at a charity
auction earlier this month, I bought an
emerald pipe from Mrs. Ferguson…”
Nicole paused and watched as Old Master
Ferguson’s expression turned into panic,
then continued to speak slowly, *Chairman
Ferguson, I’ve decided…-
‘Wait!’ Old Master Ferguson could not bear
it any longer and stepped forward,
interrupting her words. He could tolerate
that Nicole hid her identity, deceived them,
and made his family a laughing stock, but
the emerald pipe absolutely could not fall
into the hands of others!
`Nicole, you know that the emerald pipe is
my family heirloom. Now, I’m willing to buy
it back from you at ten times the price.
Consider the extra money as compensation
for you from our family.’
The first to speak always had the upper
hand. Old Master Ferguson thought that
Nicole was still a little too inexperienced to
go up against an old-timer like him.
Nicole spent $30 million to buy that emerald
pipe. Now that it had inflated to $300
million, it was simply more than anyone
could ask for.
Although this was a pretty sizable amount
for many, for Nicole Stanton, this was
equivalent to a slap in the face.
Feeling the tense atmosphere between
Nicole and Old Master Ferguson, everyone’s
eyes fell on Nicole.
Her smile was bright and stunning, and her
eyes glittered like the stars. She spoke
unhurriedly, “Chairman Ferguson, I’m so
rich and certainly don’t need that petty cash
from you… The emerald pipe’s value can no
longer be quantified by money. Since it’s of
such significant historic value, I’ve decided
to donate this artifact, free of charge, to the
National Museum.”
Nicole beamed and tilted her head to the
side, then extended her arm to invite the
person standing there. “This is the Director
of the National Museum. All of you here play
witness to this moment in history in which
this emerald pipe finds its most fitting
home in the museum for all those who love
and respect history. In the future, everyone
can share the story of this emerald pipe and
I think this is much more valuable than it
will be in the hands of Chairman Ferguson
alone.
Hence, Chairman Ferguson will
certainly support my thoughtful decision.’
The man who came over to Nicole on stage
looked mature and respectable. He brought
over two of his subordinates and gave a
simple speech of gratitude. Then, in the
presence of the guests, the man took the box
containing the emerald pipe from Nicole’s
hands and left with it.
Floyd Stanton looked at his daughter and
felt very pleased with her performance. He
came on stage to say a few more words and
gave everyone the green light to mingle
around as they wished. As for the Ferguson
family, Floyd Stanton would not let them get
away so easily…
At this time, Old Master Ferguson’s face
flushed red with anger. He was so vexed
that he could not even speak.
Nicole had defeated him using her own
means and had completely put an end to
Old Master Ferguson’s plans of getting back
his emerald pipe.
If she had sold it to other people, the
Fergusons would still be able to buy it back
because they were willing to pay any price
for it.
On the contrary, Nicole had made this
an unexpected move to donate the emerald
pipe to the National Museum, and more
importantly, with so many influential
Even if Old Master Ferguson had the ability,
he would not dare to take from the museum!
Undoubtedly, he had utterly lost this game!
“Let’s go!”
Old Master Ferguson turned around and left.
He could not care less about pleasantries
and did not want to stay here for another
moment.
“Chairman Ferguson, a minute please!”
Floyd Stanton slowly walked over with
Nicole. Both of them were smiling very
cheerfully.
