The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 673 Stoned to Death

Kai and Nicole felt like they were props. Their faces were stiff from smiling, but they still had to keep smiling and greet the guests. Nicole did not even smile so much when she was with business partners. She felt like she was about to get facial cramps.

Kai was a famous movie star that had an aloof and noble image and was worshipped by everyone, was still subjected to this torture. After the introduction of a number of relatives, Floyd also felt that his mouth was a little dry.

Fortunately, the butler was extremely tactful to hand over a cup of tea. "Chairman Stanton, the coffee and refreshments are ready..." Floyd hurriedly welcomed them into the house.

"Quick, quick... Please come in. Make yourselves at home!"

Floyd then gulped down a large cup of tea.

Then, without changing his face, Floyd led Nicole and Kai inside.

Floyd hurriedly introduced his daughter that he was most proud of.

"This is Lil N. She's taking care of our company. Grant is just an auxiliary. Our Lil N's net worth put her in the global Forbes list. She's famous!"

The crowd looked on with envy and jealousy, which made Floyd feel prouder.

Floyd smiled. "My second son doesn't like to meet people. He's a scientist and won a few world-class awards. He also participated in a few national confidential scientific research projects and won a few honorary titles internationally, but he's not great in other aspects."

Knowing that Maverick did not like this kind of occasion, if Maverick came out and said something earth-shattering, their New Year would be ruined.

Thus, Floyd only explained Maverick's absence and focused on his two most boisterous children, Nicole and Kai.

Their grand-aunt went over and pinched Nicole's cheek.

"Lil N, you've been on the trending topics every few days. Who are you really with? I think that young actor Fabian is a little too immature. Is Xander really Eric Ferguson's substitute?"

Everyone looked at Nicole with curiosity. Some teasing, some playful, but all of them waiting to watch a show.

Grand-aunt asked what was on everyone's mind.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

This time, Floyd almost could not hold back.

Just when Floyd was about to ease the situation, Nicole swatted her grand-aunt's hand carelessly. Her face was calm, and she had a faint smile as she said, " You seem to be more worried about this than the reporters..."

Although she had a smile, her voice was cold.

Nicole did not need to care about such distant relatives.

It was just that Floyd liked to have more people around for a lively atmosphere, so he wanted everyone to gather together.

Kai secretly gave Nicole a thumbs up from the side.' You go girl! Nicole can really talk back to elders so righteously! Good job!'

If Kai were to do this, Floyd would probably whip him on the spot.

Everyone obviously saw Nicole's dismissive attitude.

Earlier, Floyd mentioned that Nicole was the real boss of Stanton Corporation, so no one dared to say a word o f objection.

Moreover, Floyd did not intend to scold Nicole.

Everyone's gossipy mood instantly vanished.

Floyd hastened to save the day. "How can you believe the rumors on the internet? Lil N is only fooling around with them. It's nothing serious!"

Kai raised his eyebrows and looked at his father in shock. 'How is this saving the day?! This is making it worse!'

Nicole was also speechless for a moment. The corners of her mouth twitched, but it was useless for her to explain any further. 'Forget it...'

The grand-aunt sighed. "Although it's not great that Lil N is divorced, we have money, so it shouldn't be difficult to replace another man who's divorced. Worse comes to worst, just relax the conditions, even a man with a child will be fine..."

Nicole thought, 'Hah! Why didn't she just say that I should be stoned to death?'
