The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss

Chapter 235

Chapter 235 A Timid but Scheming B* tch

Ian Carter anxiously came out from the side and sighed with relief when he saw Nicole. “I thought you’d been kidnapped, but now that I think about it, you’re the one who kidnaps others instead…”

‘Stop mentioning Eric Ferguson!’ Nicole quickly adjusted her mood and went downstairs as if nothing had happened.

The heaviness in her heart was not the slightest bit alleviated. Nicole rolled her eyes at Ian’s words with an expressionless face. She walked downstairs in her high heels, looking elegant and refined.

Lydia quickly ran after Nicole and bit her lower lip. When she saw Nicole’s unpleasant expression, she mustered the courage to ask, “Nicole, is… Mr. Ferguson alright?” Nicole’s lips curled as she cast a sidelong glance at Lydia.

She saw through Lydia’s thoughts at once. If Lydia was frank and open about her intentions, Nicole would have admired her ambition.

However, the way Lydia acted like a timid but scheming b*tch really was truly disdainful. Nicole lifted her chin. The coldness on her face was startling.

She pointed upstairs to the room she had just come out of. “If you want to know so badly, you can go inside and check…” Even if Nicole hated Eric Ferguson, there would still be people who flocked to him.

However, Nicole was no longer the person she was three years ago.

Now, she could hide her heart flawlessly. Lydia looked embarrassed. “there’s no need…” Ian frowned as he listened from the side.

He had been acquainted with the Stantons for so long, but he never heard of Nicole having a cousin like Lydia before.

Even if they were both ladies from the Stanton family, there was no need to be that secretive, right? Thinking about it, he no longer bothered about Lydia.

lan looked at Nicole expressionlessly.“ Why is your cousin’s last name Smith?” If they were cousins, Lydia should be a Stanton like Nicole, right? Lydia’s expression stiffened as she took awkward glances at Nicole.

It was as if she was afraid of what Nicole would say. However, Nicole did not even look at her and explained, “Her mother is with my second uncle.” ) She could not be bothered to say anything more.

After all, it was not good to air her family’s dirty laundry in public. Ian responded with a faint “mm” and no longer continued to ask.

After all, he was not that interested anyway. Lydia secretly sighed in relief. She paused in her steps and narrowed her eyes involuntarily.

‘If only my last name is Stanton like Nicole…’ Unfortunately, even though her mother, Jade, mentioned changing their last names multiple times to Noah Stanton, he always treated it like a joke and brushed it away.

Once Nicole and Ian went downstairs, they were surrounded by Grant and Kai. Fortunately, everyone was dancing and did not notice them. Ian’s expression stiffened.

This situation… This scene… His knees went weak… Grant’s eyes were cold and indifferent, and his aura was imposing and slightly icy.

Although Kai looked handsome with deep features that looked like they were exquisitely carved out, at that moment, he also stood there with a roguish smile on his face.

Nicole frowned and looked at the two men in front of her in confusion.

“What are you guys doing?” Kai held out a hand to block her with a serious face. “Don’t mind us. We just want to talk to Second Young Master Carter about what happened earlier.” NôvelDrama.Org content.

The fireworks and roses. Surely, he had an explanation for that, right? Nicole looked at the two speechlessly.

“Okay, I’ll stay out of it.” She was not in the mood to meddle! The good mood she had tonight was completely ruined by that kiss! Damn it! Ian was at a loss. “You can’t leave me…”

He batted his eyes at her pleadingly. Nicole duly avoided Ian’s gaze and blinked in another direction. Grant frowned imperceptibly. His gaze was cold.

“Second Young Master Carter, although you have a close relationship with Lil N, I hope that this won’t happen again in the future.” Each of his words sounded very polite.

However, all Ian heard were threats! Kai chuckled. “That’s right. Our Lil N is about to become the richest person in the world. She has no time for relationships.

If you’re not willing to accept that, you can talk to me…” Ian’s lips twitched. ‘What’s there to talk about with him?’
