Chapter 81 Purposely Look For You


    The sky gradually dimmed into a dark blue hue. The gloomy sky apanied by 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


    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-societydies to pass the time.


    Nicole took a te 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 noting?’


    "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..." Ian raised an


    eyebrow.


    Nicole threw a sidelong nce at him. "Can you be serious for once?" "My mother wanted some


    pastries from the clubhouse and sent me out to get them." Ian 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 Ian 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."


    Ian 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 hometer."


    "I drove here."


    "Then you can take me home!"


    After leaving the banquet hall, the corridor was rtively 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 theizens.


    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’te 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 M r. 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 Ian. "Can you do something for me? I have


    something in m y bag..."


    After hanging up, a waiter passed by with a tray of wine. Nicole picked up a ss and walked over to


    the group of gossiping women.


    "I''m curious... What lesson do you want to teach me, M s. Lindt?"


    Nicole''s sudden remark made the three women in the corner freeze in ce, especially Samantha. A


    trace of panic shed across her face, but she quickly regainedposure.


    "Vice President Nicole, what a coincidence...” "It''s not. I came here purposely to look for you." Nicole


    smiled at Samantha. She raised the ss in her hand, gently tilted it, and poured the red wine all over


    Samantha''s head without leaving a single drop behind.
