Chapter 167
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 167 Not Necessarily Yours
Nicole was just making a casual remark, but it set off a huge ripple in Ericâs heart, âIâve always been so
cruel to the women who like me? I was cruel to Nicole, Wendy, and now Ines Xavierâ¦â Eric furrowed
his brows, and a huge wave of emotion was hidden in his eyes.
His lips were pressed into a straight line, Eric pondered for a moment and lowered his voice. âNicole,
youâre not like them.â At least, Nicole used to be his wife, Other women were nothing to him.
Thus, he had nothing to worry about. Nicole lowered her head and laughed, then looked at him with a
cold and detached gaze.
âYes, Iâm not like them. At least I was once someone who managed to marry you because of my
special blood typeâ¦â She laughed self-deprecatingly, glanced at him, then coldly looked away Eric
frowned slightly He clearly did not mean it like that.
âWeâre here, President Nicole,â Logan said. Finally, Logan could breathe a sigh of relief. Logan felt that
this journey was the most difficult car ride he had ever experienced! Nicole got out of the car, not
wanting to spend another second in the same space with Eric.
Eric also followed her out. These two had just left J&L Corporationâs press conference. In the blink of
an eye, they got out of the same car and appeared together at the entrance of Gemini Entertainment,
which was more than enough to attract everyoneâs attention.
The sudden shareholdersâ meeting was already puzzling. Now, it was even more bewildering that these
two big shots were here, especially for the shareholders and top executives of Gemini Entertainment.
They could not afford to offend Nicole Stanton or Eric Ferguson âMr. Ferguson, Ms. Stantonâ¦â
Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries and respectfully went up to greet them. Ericâs face was dull as
he nodded. He was not in the mood to respond.
The Chairman of Gemini Entertainment, Gabriel Xavier, respectfully went forward to press the elevator
for them, then bowed to ask Eric and Nicole to go in first. None of them were qualified to ride with these
two big shots.
Eric paused for a moment and took the lead to go into the elevator. Nicole just stood there and smiled
faintly.â You guys go ahead.
Iâm going to make a phone call.â After that, she turned around and went in the other direction.
Eric subconsciously knitted his brows and clenched his fists.
Although it was not explicitly said, he felt that Nicole simply did not want to stay in the same enclosed
space with him. Everyone could not figure out what was going on, so they could only do as they were
told.
Logan explained a few words for Nicole, so everyone went to the conference room on the top floor one
after another. The lounge area was empty.
Nicole took Kaiâs call there, but it was irrelevant, so she hung up. When she turned around, she saw
the aggressive Ines Xavier. Ines was rushing towards her in big strides. She questioned loudly.
âNicole! Why are you here?â When the recording of Ines provoking Nicole was posted online, it
immediately met with a huge backlash. Countless netizens started to dig up dirt about Inesâ
background.
Ines had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to no avail, and she still could not suppress the matter.
Now, everyone saw Ines as a stinker, so Ines did not even dare to speak out.
Gemini Entertainment also suffered a big blow because of Ines, so her father, Gabriel Xavier, was
furious and scolded her for an hour.
This all happened because of the trap Nicole set up for Ines. Thus, Ines was extremely resentful. On
the other hand, Nicole attended the press conference with Eric Ferguson and Gerard Lichman as if
nothing had happened.
She was so elegant and composed Even as she sat next to the two giants in the industry, Nicole still
had a striking presence.
Peopleâs praise and attention toward Nicole even exceeded Eric Fergusonâs. When Ines was at the
beauty salon, all she could hear was people complimenting Nicole.
âThe most beautiful CEO in history?â Ines was so infuriated that she left halfway through her spa. âWhat
gives Nicole the right to be in the spotlight? Itâs all just luck! These people are really blind! She could
not get over it, so she came to Gemini Entertainment to ask her father for help.
She wanted to defame Nicole to the point of social death. However, Ines never imagined that as soon
as she entered the front door of her fatherâs company, she would see Nicole sitting leisurely in the
lounge area chatting on the phone.
The anger and jealousy in Inesâ chest surged uncontrollably. When Nicole saw Ines, she let out a light
laugh. âWhat a coincidence, Ms. Xavier.â âI asked you, why the hell are you here?!â Ines was anxious
and infuriated.
âThis is my turf! I wonât allow a nasty person like Nicole to come in here!â Nicoleâs gaze was slightly
cold, but the smile on her face did not fade.
âAs one of the shareholders of Gemini Entertainment, is it necessary for me to report to you when Iâm
here to attend the shareholdersâ meeting? As far as I know, I donât think you have any shares in Gemini
Entertainmentâ¦â Therefore, the one who was not qualified was in fact, Ines Xavier
. Inesâ face sank and her fists clenched tightly âThis is my family business, so I can come if I want to.
You, on the other hand, are not welcome here.
That little share of yours is nothing! I will ask my father to buy it back immediately, so leave right now!â
Inesâ voice was sharp and piercing.
Nicole raised her eyes insouciantly and tucked a strand of hair behind her ears. She spoke coldly, âYour
family business? Not necessarilyâ¦â She gently glanced at Ines with obvious derision in her eyes.
Soon, Gemini Entertainment would no longer be the Xaviersâ. It would belong to Nicole.
