Chapter 1842

Annoying Since Childhood

Nicole’s body gradually recovered. She went to the hospital several times for a checkup, but the
doctors were really at their wits’ end with her memory loss.

Her health indicators were already backt o normal, but she just could not recover her memory.

However, Nicole did not care or worry about it since it did not affect her daily life.

After a few days, Nicole and Kai attended a business party together.

Nicole rarely appeared in public, so everyone was surprised.

There were many rumors saying that Nicole was sick and could not leave the house, but her beautiful
and healthy appearance showed that she did not seem to be sick.

Nicole even looked more radiant than before.

Everyone suppressed their inner thoughts and went forward to exchange pleasantries one after
another.

“Ms. Stanton, I haven’t seen you in a long time. How have you been?”

“Ms. Stanton, I heard that you gave birth t o a daughter? Is it true? When will you be hosting a party for
your child?”

“When are you coming back to the office, Ms. Stanton?”

Nicole smiled and was used to dealing with such scenes.

“In a few days, I’m hosting a 100-day banquet for my daughter. You’re all invited.”



“There are still some arrangements to be made at the office, so I’m not sure when I’ll be going back
yet…”

Kai became much more composed on the

sidelines as he exchanged pleasantries with other peers.

He asked Nicole to rest at the lounge while he had a couple of drinks with the others to talk about
business.

Nicole gladly agreed.

She took a look around. Yvette and Julie did not come.

Nicole was a bit listless and chatted with the people next to her.

Not long after, there were suddenly two more people in front of her, a man and a woman.

“Nicole, what a coincidence to see you here!”

The man was quite tall, average-looking, and somewhat familiar. He looked like a typical parvenu.

He casually embraced a pitiful-looking and delicate girl beside him. That girl was

nestled in his arms and averted her gaze when she saw Nicole.

Nicole wrinkled her brows. She could not remember who these people were.

However, she was certain she forgot these people. Otherwise, why would she have the feeling that she
had seen them before?



Nicole paused. She just smiled without saying a word so that they would not find anything odd about
her.

Anyway, she had a bad gut feeling about these people and found them quite annoying

However, the man was very insensitive. H e had to stand in front of Nicole to pester her.

“I heard that you almost died during childbirth some time ago? Is it true? People in the circle are
speculating that you’re dying. That’s why you handed everything to Kai. How did you suddenly

recover?”

Nicole’s smile faded, and she sneered.

“You’re quite disappointed that I didn’t die, huh?”

The man froze and hastily changed his words. “I wouldn’t think that! How long have we known each
other? You and my cousin grew up together, and you helped out the Carter family when they were in
trouble!”

As soon as Nicole turned the corner, she figured out this man’s relationship with her.

Nicole and Ian grew up together. This man in front of her called Ian his cousin.

It turned out that this man was Riley, Ian’s Aunt Claire’s son.

Riley was an uneducated, opportunistic punk.

He was annoying since childhood, and he

was still the same as an adult.



Nicole lifted her eyes. The corner of her mouth twitched.

“Your cousin didn’t come?”

When Riley saw that Nicole took the initiative to speak to him, he did not let g o of this opportunity.

“My aunt has been forcing him to go on blind dates recently…”

Nicole raised her eyebrows. No wonder Ian did not show up much at the recent gatherings. He must
have been busy with his blind dates.
