Chapter 5 Ridiculed


    As soon as Floyd Stanton walked over, Nicole jumped into his arms and cried hysterically.


    Floyd sighed, heartbroken and angry at his daughter. She had never suffered the slightest bit since she


    was a child, yet she acted so lowly in front of Eric Ferguson. To make things worse, Eric Ferguson


    never once appreciated his darling daughter.


    If not for their prior agreement, Floyd Stanton would have crushed the Fergusons and beat that bastard


    to death to avenge his daughter!


    "Nikki, remember our agreement? If that bastard doesn’t fall in love with you within three years, you''ll


    Floyd lovingly stroked his daughter’s hair while she bawled. After a while, Nicole sobbed and spoke


    intermittently.


    "Don''t worry, Dad...I...won''t be...that stupid again...”


    To chase after her so-called "true love", Nicole abandoned her family and friends despite their advice.


    She gave up her identity, elite status, and luxury lifestyle to fly into her own self-destruction, like a moth


    to a me.


    That man was finally stripped from her heart, inch by inch, but the pain that she felt was etched in her


    mind


    forever.


    "Good. Daddy will get your big brother to apany you. Familiarize yourself with thepany first,


    then we''ll choose a nice day to host a wee banquet to announce your identity."


    Floyd was excited because his precious baby daughter was finally going to start a career!


    Although news of Nicole''s return to the Stanton family had not been announced yet, Nicole''s best


    friend, Yvette Quimbey, could not wait to see her and came running to her door.


    As soon as Yvette saw Nicole, she gave Nicole a big bear hug and said, "Baby, I''ve missed you so


    much! Congrats on your divorce!" i


    When Nicole first told them that she would conceal her identity to get married, Yvette was the first to


    stand up against it, but Nicole still stubbornly married into the Ferguson family and gradually lost


    contact with Yvette. Now that she saw her best friend after all these years, Nicole’s eyes brimmed with


    tears again.


    The twodies chatted for a long time about everything under the sun. Finally, Yvette pestered Nicole


    wanting to see her divorce certificate, so Nicole reluctantly took it out and showed her. When Yvette


    saw it, she sighed with relief.


    "Eric Ferguson, that stupid blind son of a b*tch! He''s gonna regret this!" 1


    Nicole lowered her eyes. "Even if he does regret it, it doesn''t have anything to do with me anymore.

    He''s a stranger to me now."


    "Well done, Baby! You just need to wave your hand, and your admirers will be lining up from your


    doorstep to the outskirts of West City! That bastard can''t even get in line!" Yvette scoffed in disdain.


    Nicole suddenly remembered that she left some important documents at Eric’s house, so she had to go


    back to take them. Yvette volunteered to go with her, which Nicole agreed to after some thought. 1


    What Nicole did not expect was to see Eric''s mother, Quinn, as soon as she went back. Quinn always


    went t o their house without notice and walked around like she was the master of the house.


    Quinn was very displeased when she saw Nicole return with a stranger. She held her head up high and


    looked at Nicole and her friend with scorn. 2


    "Nicole, didn''t I tell you that we have a lot of confidential documents in the house? You can''t just bring


    randos back here. Do you have a goldfish memory?"


    Yvette was stunned and spoke up in dissatisfaction." Who are you calling a rando? Don''t you think


    you’re too old to be calling people names?”


    She was a pampered princess who was loved by everyone. ''How could she ridicule me like this?''


    Yvette could already tell what kind of life Nicole had while she lived here and felt infuriated.


    Quinn coldly snorted and gave Yvette a once over." Don''t think you can pretend to be elite just by


    wearing this fake outfit. I''ve seen a lot of low-ss people like you who dream of marrying into a rich


    family!"


    Yvette sneered in anger. Nicole''s face sank as she said, "She’s my friend. Please show some respect."


    Nicole had always walked around with her tail between her legs in the Ferguson family and never


    talked back to Quinn.


    ''Now, she dares to reprimand me in front of outsiders? This lowly woman with an unknown background


    dares to speak to me like this?!'' Quinn thought. 1


    She was furious and yelled, "Respect? Do people of your background even deserve respect? Nicole,


    you should count your blessings that our family epts you to be our daughter-inw. You’ve been


    living so well in our house for the past three years. Did you forget which mudhole you crawled out


    from? This girl you brought home is probably just like you. You both smell of poverty, so get the hell out


    of my house and don''t stain my floors!"
