Chapter 214 On the Wrong Side
Ian Carter and old Master Carter both felt a little strange about Nicoleâs sudden departure. Nicole had
never been so impolite before.
Under Old Master Carterâs probing eyes, Gillian finally could not hold back and told them everything, that
the painting was a fake and about Chloeâs fondness for Ian.
When Old Master Carter heard this, he was fuming > His daughter-in-law, Gillian, had always been well-
behaved and never caused trouble.
Thus, he was satisfied with her. He did not expect that Gillian would make such a mess of things.
How could he not be angry? Old Master Carter asked experts in the industry to find a photo of âThe
Blazing Sunâ that was exhibited in the World Museum, then showed it to Gillian.
This painting was Mr. Wilheimâs creation at the peak of his career. Every inch of this artwork meticulously
brought out the beauty and grandeur of the full painting.
Therefore, after some deliberation, Mr. Wilheim decided not to add his signature to this painting. Thus,
âThe Blazing Sunâ became his only creation without his signature. » As a result, this was his most
valuable piece of work.
Upon learning this, Gillianâs face went pale. She thought about how she had humiliated Nicole earlier.
âWhat a stupid mistake!â âBut⦠Chloe Snyderâ¦â Gillian hesitated ) and thought that Chloe must have
meant well. old Master Carter was a shrewd man.
He snorted coldly and said, âShe became the Head of the Snyder family before she was eighteen years
old. Youâll never be able to imagine what sheâs capable of.
Not to mention, Ian doesnât like her. Even if he does and they get married, itâs uncertain whether our
company will eventually be bought over by Snyder Corporation.â » The moment these words came out,
Gillianâs face instantly turned glum.
How could such a strong and capable woman look up to her as a mother-in-law when Gillian was merely
a mediocre high-society housewife? Gillian almost overlooked this detail about just how difficult their
future would be if Ian were to marry Chloe. » âDad, Iâ¦â Gillianâs face was miserably pale. If she had
known earlier, she would not have said those harsh words to Nicole.
âIn the future, you just need to stay away from Chloe Snyder.
Any cooperation regarding our companies will naturally be handled by Ian and his father, so what are you
worrying about?â Old Master Carter rebuked Gillian.
âAlso, youâd better find an opportunity to apologize to the Stantons. Whether itâs West City or Atlanta,
Stanton Corporation is the partner we canât afford to lose!â â¦â¦ Stanton Corporation.
Nicole had just finished a meeting when she received a call from Kai. â
The Carters sent you a lot of gifts⦠Weird, huh?â âIan?â Nicole asked in surprise. âHe usually just sends
them to my officeâ¦â
âNo, itâs from Mrs. Carter.â âGillian?â Nicole was puzzled and frowned a little.
âMaybe she finally found out about âThe Blazing Sunâ?â Unfortunately, it was too late. Nicole had already
placed that painting in her fatherâs study, and he loved it so much.
However, if it was for what happened last time, Nicole did not really care. After all, Nicole knew that it
was Chloe Snyderâs trick.
She would not really cut off ties with the Carter family because of that. If Nicole cut off her ties with the
Carters, Chloe Snyder would have achieved her goal. Nicole chuckled.
âOkay, get Mr. Anderson to send an appropriate return gift.â âOkay,â Kai said lazily. At that moment,
Logan knocked on the door and came in.
âPresident, Ms. Chloe Snyder is here and wants to see you.â Nicole raised her eyebrows. âSheâs fastâ¦
How unexpected.â
Chloe Snyder was certainly not like Ingrid Ferguson, who would cry and make a scene to humiliate
herself when she was annoyed.
Thus, Nicole was curious. âInvite her in.â âYes, President.â Chloe walked in with grace and a strong aura.
She had a coldness about her that could not be ignored. Nicole smiled.
âWhat a rare visit, Ms. Snyder.â Chloe went in and sat across from Nicole, The two womenâs
temperaments were so strong that it felt like they would clash as soon as they met.
âAnything to drink? Coffee or tea?â âNo need.â Chloe was certainly not in the mood to drink now. Nicole
raised her eyebrows and signaled to Logan, who nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.
âNicole, I donât like beating around the bush, so Iâll get straight to the point.
Did you make Eric Ferguson kick me out of that development project? Youâre also the one who made
Mrs. Carter stop answering my calls from that day onwards, right?â Chloeâs gaze was harsh, and her face
had a hint of anger.
As she spoke, she propped her hands on the desk in front of Nicole.
An oppressive gloom enveloped her. She was really deserving to be the President of Snyder Corporation
who had gone through all sorts of hell in the industry If it was anyone else, they would really be
intimidated.
Unfortunately, that person sitting opposite her was Nicole, who was completely unfazed.
