Chapter 117 I’m Not That Generous
Old Master Ferguson’s face was glum as he
narrowed his eyes and grunted coldly. He
was so exasperated looking at this father’s
daughter pair that he gnashed his teeth and
said, ‘Chairman Stanton, what else do you
have in store? I’ve already seen enough of
this surprising show’”
It was clear that the Stantons were
deliberately telling off the Fergusons with
everything that happened at the gala.
‘No wonder Nicole was so fearless when I
complained about her to Floyd Stanton in
her office that day. Now that I think back to
it, she deliberately played me!’ Old Master
Ferguson thought.
Floyd Stanton glanced at Eric Ferguson,
who still did not show a hint of emotion on
his noble and calm face. At such a young
age, he managed to be so unperturbed by all
that happened, which was a rare talent.
If not for Eric’s messy love life and for him
hurting Nicole so many times that made
Floyd Stanton keep a distance from him,
Floyd would probably be able to accept such
a man as his son-in-law.
“Chairman Ferguson, I can’t understand
where your anger is coming from. My
princess married your grandson just to
become a lowly maid to your family. Even
after their divorce, she became the most
hated person on the internet getting
insulted left and right.
Chairman Ferguson,
don’t you think you owe us an explanation?”
Floyd Stanton’s voice was cold.
Old Master Ferguson froze. Quinn and
Ingrid were also shocked. ‘Is Floyd Stanton
bringing Nicole over to settle accounts?’
Eric had a slight frown and his eyes were
deep as he looked at Nicole, who was next to
Floyd.
She was staring at the royal blue sapphire
cufflinks on Floyd’s shirt and was tugging
on her father’s suit like she was extremely
bored. She seemed reluctant to come over
and was not even willing to look at them for
a moment.
Since the second she stepped on stage, Eric
was beyond shocked.
It was just that he hid it all at the bottom of
his heart. All the unbelievable things that
Nicole did after their divorce finally seemed
to make sense. Everything became logical
and rightful.
This shocking information just came out of
nowhere.
Old Master Ferguson coughed. His face
became ugly.
‘Nicole concealed her identity, so how
would we know that she’s your daughter?”
He snapped back at Floyd and excused
himself using this reason.
Floyd sneered and angrily retorted. ‘So, you
re saying that the harsh treatment she
received at your place is our fault? Back
then when she liked Eric and wanted to
marry him, I disagreed, but she went behind
my back to get married anyway. I was so
angry for three years that I cut off all
contact with her. I thought that it’d be fine
as long as she’s happy, but I never would’ve
imagined that your family didn’t even treat
her as a human being!”
Quinn spoke in panic, “She’s well-fed and
has a roof over her head, so how is she
being ill-treated? We were kind to her, but
she didn’t show us any gratitude and even
lied to us? How can we not be angry?”
Floyd’s face became stern and was just
about to speak when Nicole tugged on his
clothes. She let out a cold snort that carried
disdain and contempt.
‘Even if it’s the whole world’s fault, it has
nothing to do with your family, right?
I asked for it, so I deserve to be lowly and put
up with all your vileness. I deserve to use
my own blood in an attempt to exchange for
someone’s love. It serves me right to be a
blind fool for the past three years. Is that
what you mean? Sorry to say, I’m not a
generous person, so in the future, I can only
return what I’ve received little by little, an
eye for an eye…”
Nicole hooked her lips and did not hide her
disgust. ‘Do they think that I’d just forget
about the past? That I’d forget about those
humiliations? If I get the opportunity, I’ll
definitely get back at them!’
Quinn’s face stiffened. Old Master Ferguson
glared at Quinn angrily and was annoyed by
her talkativeness, so Quinn shrank back in
fear and dared not speak again.
Wendy Quade, who stood at the side silently
this whole time, suddenly stepped forward.
Her voice was soft and weak as she said, ”
Nicole, I know that you hate me. I’m the one
who used so much of your blood. It has
nothing to do with the Fergusons. Just come
at me if you want. If we’d known that you
were the heiress of Stanton Corporation, I
think that Eric wouldn’t have treated you
like this.
Since what’s done is already done,
I hope that you can forgive us.”
Although Wendy was resentful of Nicole’s
true identity, her smug sense of superiority
when she looked at Nicole in the past was
vastly different from her current position.
They were like heaven and hell.
Wendy hated Nicole’s good fortune. ‘Why
can Nicole get things that others can’t right
at her fingertips? Eric Ferguson must be
mine!’
Nicole swept a sidelong glance at Wendy
and thought, ‘She really knows how to
involve herself in the drama, huh?
With a scoff, Nicole said, This is not a place
for trash. Who are you to talk over here…”
