Chapter 117

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…”
