Nicole said, "When I received invitations in the past, it was always Mitchell who contacted me. This time, it was just the person in charge." That was also something she felt was off about.

Just as she spoke, her phone rang.

It was a message from Clayton.

"I need a companion for Ferguson Corporation's party tomorrow at noon. May I invite you?"

Nicole raised her brows. Ferguson Corporation's party invited Clayton as well?

That was even more evidence that something was wrong.

With Clayton's status, he could certainly participate in any party in the upper-class circles.

However, Eric had always been at odds with him, so how would he have taken the initiative to invite

Clayton?

Thinking about it, she replied, "Okay."

Since she had questions, she could just go there and replace out.

Nicole was looking forward to it now.

Grant looked at her cunning smile and shook his head

helplessly.

"Looks like you've decided to go. Do you want me to accompany you?"

Nicole paused. "No need. I've found my companion. Since you're not going back to work, you should take the opportunity to be lovey-dovey with Aida."

Grant was speechless.

"By the way, I want to sell the apartment near the office."

She did not want to see Eric every time she went out.

Grant smiled casually. "Do you lack money?"

"Of course not. I just don't want it anymore."

"If you don't want to stay there, just leave it. There are more places under your name anyway, and I have several places that are available. You can live in whichever one you like."

In Grant and Floyd's perception, rich people like them could only buy houses and should never sell them.

Thus, he did not understand Nicole's proposal.

Nicole felt like her words just flew over his head. Forget it. What did he know?

He was just a money-making and lovey-dovey machine!

She shrugged and stopped talking about it. "When are you guys getting married?"

"Who's your partner?"

Grant was more interested in this question.

Nicole pursed her lips, and Grant fell silent as well.

The questions were both difficult for each other.

They were brother and sister, so what was the point?

In the evening.

Grant was still fishing with Aida and Floyd.

As the sun set, the fish in the pond became more active.

Nicole and Kai took the opportunity to sneak out.

Kai went over to Julie's house, while Nicole went to rest in another two hundred square foot apartment near the company.

Fortunately, she had many houses...

The next evening.

Ferguson Corporation's party was set in Hilton Hotel, and the scene was luxurious.

The party was both private and open, very much in line with Old Master Ferguson's character of wanting to show off but also being scrupulous.

Nicole wore a long black dress today. A pearl and diamond belt loosely embellished her slender waist, making her look intellectual, elegant, and graceful.

Her facial features were extremely beautiful and bright, but her eyes were slightly indifferent. Under the brilliant lights and vibrant colors, there was a cold sense of detachment.

The moment she got out of the car, she was greeted by many eyes filled with admiration, envy, or jealousy...

Keith had not gotten out of the car yet. He looked at the dazzling woman through the window and then at Eric beside him. He could not help but sigh.

"You've only been divorced for less than a year. Why do I feel like Nicole has completely changed?"

If this was before the divorce, he would not believe that this was the meek woman who only knew how to chase after Eric.

It was too offensive.

Beside him, Eric stiffened slightly and looked over. His face tightened for a moment as he frowned.

"She's here..."

Keith inclined his head at him in surprise.

"You didn't know that she was invited? How could you not know when it's your family's party? How could you miss this opportunity to get close to her? How are you supposed to get her back like this?" Eric's expression sank and his dark eyes glanced over coldly.

"Will you suffocate if you don't speak?"

Keith was baffled and speechless.

What did he say wrong?
