Chapter 81 Purposely Look For You

The sky gradually dimmed into a dark
blue hue. The gloomy sky accompanied b
y the evening chill felt quite disconcerting.
Nicole saw that it was almost time, so
she went to the dressing room in her
office where she had the latest
collections of her favorite brands always
available. She picked out a decent knee-
length low-key luxury dress to change
into, then paired it with a limited edition
bag and beautiful stilettos.

When Nicole arrived at the clubhouse, no
one recognized her. Everyone was just
chatting with the people they knew well.
There was no theme to this gathering and
looked like it was purely for these high-
society ladies to pass the time

Nicole took a plate of hors d’oeuvres and
ate it slowly. She sat in a corner and
looked around. There’s no sign of
Samantha Lindt anywhere. Is she not
coming?
“Nicole?” The person in front of her
looked at her in surprise.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Carter? Why
are you here?”

“We’re truly destined to be together! It’s
fate that brought us here at this moment
…” lan raised an eyebrow.
Nicole threw a sidelong glance at him.”
Can you be serious for once?”
“My mother wanted some pastries from
the clubhouse and sent me out to get
them.” lan helplessly shrugged his
shoulders.

Nicole smiled and thought, ‘Mrs. Carter is
quite the foodie.’
“What about you?”
“I uh… I just came to have some fun, but
turns out the ‘fun’ didn’t show up…” Nicole
smiled. She looked at the time and stood
up, but lan pulled her wrist.
“Where are you going?”

Nicole looked at him helplessly. “I’m
going to the bathroom, then I’ll leave in a
moment.”
lan let go of her hand and naturally did
not want to give up such a good
opportunity to spend time with Nicole. “I’ll
wait for you and send you home later.”
“I drove here.”
“Then you can take me home!”

After leaving the banquet hall, the
corridor was relatively quiet. Quite a few
people were talking there. When Nicole
walked around the corner, she heard
someone mention her name.
“Eric Ferguson’s ex-wife is not a simple
woman. I heard that she cheated on him
before the divorce and acted all innocent to gain sympathy with the netizens. In
fact, the Fergusons just aren’t bothered to deal with her. Otherwise, how can she
live so peacefully until now?”

“Young Lady Ferguson is my friend and
I’ve heard a little about their marriage.
Apparently, Nicole has no degree or
family background. She’s just been a
housewife for the past three years and
suddenly became the Vice President of
Stanton Corporation after the divorce.

She even forced out Samantha Lindt…”
“Samantha’s such a poor thing. She used
so much effort to get to where she is now
and became the strong independent
woman everyone envies, but that
mistress just snatched her position… I
heard that the current projects Nicole is
handling are taken over from Samantha…”

“Nicole is so shameless! How can such a
woman be so sought-after? I heard that
she cozied up to Grant Stanton, who even
bought her a house and a car.

I wonder
what Grant Stanton will do when he sees
her photos with Kai… Do you think he’ll go
berserk?”
“Yeah, she should take a good look in the
mirror. This kind of woman is only worthy
of being a mistress. Anyone with a
background won’t marry a divorced
woman who fools around with so many

men.” Nicole stopped in her tracks and could
not help but raise an eyebrow. ‘Wow, I’m
always the main character wherever I go…’
She lowered her head, hooked her lips,
and was just about to walk over to teach
these two women a lesson when she
heard a familiar voice that sounded so
aggrieved

“Yeah… It’s a pity that I didn’t come from
a wealthy family nor do I know how to
please men. Even if I’m capable and work
so hard, there’s no way I can beat Mr.
Stanton’s sweetheart…”
‘Is that Samantha Lindt?’ Nicole thought.
“Don’t be such a pushover. If this was my
family business, I’d have gotten rid of that
woman. How dare she go around like
she’s somebody?”

“Yeah, Samantha, you should teach her a
lesson! Why are you scared of that vixen
anyway?”
Nicole hooked her lips and took a step
back to call lan. “Can you do something
for me? I have something in my bag…”
After hanging up, a waiter passed by with
a tray of wine. Nicole picked up a glass
and walked over to the group of
gossiping women.

“I’m curious… What lesson do you want to
teach me, Ms. Lindt?”
Nicole’s sudden remark made the three
women in the corner freeze in place,
especially Samantha. A trace of panic
flashed across her face, but she quickly
regained composure.

“Vice President Nicole, what a
coincidence…”
“It’s not. I came here purposely to look for
you.” Nicole smiled at Samantha. She
raised the glass in her hand, gently tilted it, and poured the red wine all over
Samantha’s head without leaving a single
drop behind..
