Chapter 125
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Gerard Lichman was delighted to learn that
Nicole was coming over in person and gave
her a call.
âPresident Nicole, please bring the little
traitor when you come over. Everyone
misses itâ
Nicole responded. âSure, no problem!â
This way, Nicole could kill two birds with
one stone! She could rely on Tigger to
capture the hearts of J&Lâs team and she
would not feel so bored over there.
Nicole buried herself in work until the
evening when the streetlights came on and
as stars dotted the night sky.
She stretched her back and took her purse.
Seeing that Grantâs office light was still on,
she felt a little guilty because she had it too
easy as the CEO, especially compared to her
big brother.
Nicole knocked on the door and poked her
head in, smiling at the person who was still in a video conference. He calmly listened to
the other partyâs report in a foreign
language and meticulously caught all the
key points. He glanced at her and pointed to
a seat, then continued the meeting.
She spat out her tongue and obediently went
over to sit down, listening in to Grant and
the other partyâs conversation. It sounded
like Ferguson Corporation was in a difficult own
situation.
Once the meeting ended, Grant hung up the
phone. Nicole lifted her head, slightly
puzzled.
âIs our company in Europe going to launch
the same products as Ferguson
Corporation?â
Grant nodded. âWe have the same quality
and weâre fighting a price war. The
Fergusons are sure to lose.â
This was unmistakably targeted business
competition. Nicole frowned slightly.
âFerguson Corporation has issued an
apology letter today.â
âI know, Dad and I have read it, but their
apology is secondary and useless compared to the harm they caused you. Eric Ferguson is very smart.
Once the apology letter was released, Ferguson Corporationâs share prices stopped declining. This little
dip is irrelevant to them. Itâs like they didnât lose anything.â Grant smiled and looked at her. âWhat, are
you planning to go soft on them?â âNo way!â Nicole snorted coldly. Her heart was now made of steel and
could not be softened.
âWs not just because of this either. Our market share abroad has always been evenly split with Ferguson
Corporation. Since we got this opportunity, weâd have to seize it. Donât forget, weâre the first to enter the
European market and youâre the one who single-handedly brought our business to Europe and put us on
the map. Ferguson Corporation was only imitating your model to develop a second business trend.â
Grantâs words suddenly reminded Nicole. She was silent for a moment. She almost forgot about this!
In the business world, there was no right and wrong.
As long as it was within the framework of
the Iaw, everyone had the right to compete,
â L These past three years made her forget her
worth. She had once single-handedly
broken through the European market and
set up Stanton Corporationâs business there,
They became the leading and most
prominent Medianian brand in Europe.
That was the miracle that Nicole created!
Now that she recalled her past
achievements, Nicole was filled with tears
and passion.
The next night, Nicole went to the airport alone to pick someone up. In the VIP waiting room. Nicole
excitedly ran in and saw the handsome, cool, reserved, and gentle man who had such a unique
temperament sitting by the window. He looked so unattainable that people would naturally look up to him.
She ran and covered his eyes from behind.
Guess who?â The man helplessly took her hand. âNicoleâ¦â âMae Nicole gave him a big bear hug. This
man was a world-class leading physicist. At the age of seventeen, he won the Breakthrough Prize, which
was a top science award. No one had yet to achieve
this at such a young age. His papers were
published in prestigious journals and were
held in high regard.
Perhaps since this man shined so brightly
on his own that no one bothered to
investigate his background. Thus, no one
knew that he was, in fact, Floyd Stantonâs
second son, Maverick Stanton.
Maverick looked at Nicole and saw that she
was still the same as before. He reached out
and touched her forehead.
Nicole shrank her neck and frowned at him.
âWhat are you doing?â
âYou got hurt?â Maverickâs face was a little
glum.
âI accidentally humped into the wall:â
Nicole lied with ease,
Maverick nodded without suspicion. â
Useless!â
The two siblings walked and talked.
Maverick asked insouciantly, âI heard you
got married?â
He was abroad for more than five years and
had been doing some top-secret research in
some lab, so he would occasionally chat
with Kai during his leisure time.
It seemed that Nicoleâs marriage had upset
the whole family.
Maverick took out a bank card from his
pocket.
âThis is the prize money from all the awards
Iâve won. There, take it as your wedding gift.â
All that prize money was an astronomical
sum!
Nicoleâs second brother had never cared for
money and had always given his younger
sister all the prize money he got since
childhood.
Nicole blinked. âI just got divorced.â
âOh, then itâs your divorce gift.â
Maverick quietly lowered his head and
dragged his expensive suitcase forward.
His face was expressionless as if he did not
care.
