Chapter 10 Abandoned Wife


    The glorious banquet hall was filled with important people. Every guest present was at the top of their


    field.


    Nicole was mentally prepared to see Eric Ferguson again. Her heart did not fluctuate when she saw


    him because she had already let him go.


    Although everyone knew that Eric Ferguson had an ex -wife, Eric had never brought her to any formal


    asions. Even when thest statement went viral online, everyone had only heard of her name.


    When Nicole saw Wendy Quade beside Eric, sheughed lightly and thought, ''She took my ce so


    soon?''


    Grant Stanton sensed her emotions and thoughtfully patted her arm. "Don''t be afraid. I’m with you." 1


    Nicole’s smile deepened. "I’m not the one who should b e afraid."


    ''I don’t have any worries anymore. What should I be afraid of? I’m invincible!''


    Grant walked up to Eric. The two men were equal in poprity and were simr in all aspects.

    "Mr. Ferguson, I''ve heard a lot about you.” "Mr. Stanton, so have I." The two men shook hands and


    parted immediately after. Eric''s eyes were fixed on the woman next to Grant. 1


    Nicole stood beside Grant and smiled radiantly. Her eyes were glistening and clear, and her bespoke


    dress made her fair skin look wless. She looked like apletely different person from before, and


    Eric could not take his eyes off of her. 1


    This radiant Nicole in front of him was unfamiliar and dangerous with a fatal attraction. Eric could only


    stare at her unmovingly while aplex emotion stirred in his heart.


    ''Did she go to Grant Stanton the day she vanished into thin air? What is her rtionship with Grant


    Stanton?'' 1


    At that moment, the emotions surging in Eric’s heart were soplicated that he did not even know


    how to describe them. Anger started to brew in his dark eyes.


    Wendy Quade also noticed the sh of shock in Eric''s eyes the moment he saw Nicole. She secretly


    gritted her teeth and said in a shrill voice, "Nicole, why are you here? Do you think this is a ce you


    cane as you please?” 2


    She was reminding Nicole not to forget her lowly status.


    Eric’s brow furrowed, but before he could stop her, he heard Grant''s cold rhetorical question.


    "And which family are you from, Miss?" His tone was aloof and interrogative.


    Wendy froze and forgot that she had apanion, so she hastily tried to remedy the situation. "Sir, you


    may not know this, but Nicole just divorced Eric..."


    She thought that Nicole had found herself another sugar daddy and felt the need to expose Nicole''s


    divorced status to him. 1


    Grant’s indifferent attitude was oppressive. "Is there a rule that divorced people can''t attend? Isn''t Mr.


    Ferguson also here?"


    Wendy awkwardly tucked her hair behind her ear and looked at Eric to plead for help.


    However, Eric just stood there silently without the intention of relieving her from this awkward situation.


    Nicole lowered her head slightly and scoffed.


    "Ms. Quade, do I need to report to you whoever I''m with? Don’t you think that you’re overstepping your


    bounds?"


    Wendy was stirring up trouble, so there was no reason for Nicole to back down in this tit for tat.


    Although the scandal between Eric and Wendy had been suppressed, it had already spread like wildfire


    o n the inte. No one believed that Eric and Nicole had an amicable divorce.


    There were so many people at the party, but Nicole did not even nce at Eric.


    Grant swept a cold nce at Wendy and said unceremoniously, "It seems that the quality of this


    banquet has dropped because of Ms. Quade''s attendance. Mr. Ferguson, you need to improve your


    standards in selecting femalepanions." 1


    After he said that, Grant did not intend to continue wasting time with insignificant people and led Nicole


    t o the other side of the hall.


    Wendy was ridiculed by such a dignified person and felt humiliated. She pouted her lips pitifully.


    "Eric..." Her voice was forlorn and cautious. 1


    Eric looked at the two departing backs with a cold and dark expression. He was not in the mood to


    think about anything else at the moment. ''We haven''t been divorced for long, yet that woman was living


    in style and pretended not to see me? She even ran into the arms of another man?’


    A few business partners came over to greet Eric, so Eric ditched Wendy and mingled around by


    himself. 2


    Arge swimming pool was right outside the floor-to-ceiling window. This corner was secluded and


    unupied. Nicole held a ss of red wine and seemed to be admiring the moonlight that reflected in


    the water.


    Wendy thought, ''Why should an abandoned wife that was kicked out of the Ferguson family be able to


    attend such an exclusive banquet?’
