Chapter 226
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 226 Sheâs Not Qualified
Seeing Nicoleâs hesitation, Jade said anxiously, âIt doesnât have to be an important position.
Just a random manager or supervisor position will do. Since weâre family, you canât mistreat )) your
sisterâ¦â Nicole frowned.
âThe audacity! How did Jade get the guts to come and ask me for a position? The position she asked for
is a senior executive too?â Before Nicole could say anything, Kai could not help but burst out in laughter.
His lazy voice rang out. âIs it not enough to devastate Uncle Noahâs company? You still want to be a
scourge here? Stanton Corporation wonât accept freeloading trash!â Nicole raised her eyebrows.
âK, way to go! When did he learn to speak so well?â Scanned with CamScanner Jadeâs face stiffened
slightly. Kaiâs words were too blunt and did not show them any respect.
Jade was used to flaunting her status as the Stanton familyâs Second Madam and showed off every
chance she got. Everyone knew that she was a member of the Stanton family, so her words held some
weight.
âKai, how can you say that? Weâre all family. Lydiaâs also your sisterâ¦â Jade spoke with dissatisfaction. )
Kai pointed to Nicole. âSheâs my sister.
You guys can beat it!â Jade looked furious and turned to Nicole.
âNicole, I know that youâre in charge of the company now, so it shouldnât be difficult to arrange a position
for your sister, right?â Since Nicole was named, she paused for a moment and smiled meaningfully.
âItâs not impossible for Lydia to work in Stanton Corporation if she wants toâ¦â Jade smiled with relief.
Before she had time to gloat, Nicole continued, âStanton Corporationâs HR will focus on hiring senior
management talent every year, so if Lydia really has the ability, she can send in a resume.â
The atmosphere was stagnant for a while. Jade frowned in displeasure and said, Why the trouble? Isnât it
just a matter of words? Sheâs not an outsider, so why are you so petty?â Lydia nodded approvingly and
echoed at the side, pretending to be a goody-two-shoes.
âYeah, Nicole, I just want to learn about the business.â Nicole mentally sneered and said unhurriedly,
âLearning should be done in school.
Every position in the company is important, and with your current ability, itâs hard for you to get the job
done.â
Lydiaâs face instantly turned glum.
She bit her lower lip and looked at Jade aggrievedly.
Jade was taken aback. Her expression was quite amusing to Nicole. In a fit of anger, her voice became
shrill and harsh.â
Hmph! You guys are just looking down on us, right? Donât forget, weâre all Stantons!â Jade looked at
Nicole.
âYouâre the one whoâs a disgrace to the family with all your scandals on the internet! Do you think youâre
so glorious?â The living room echoed with Jadeâs unbridled mockery.
The surrounding temperature instantly plunged to a freezing point. Kai stopped playing games on his
phone.
At this moment, Floyd happened to walk in. He had probably been listening outside because his face
was cold and formidable.
go of this Seeing Floyd, Jade did not let opportunity and complained first. âFloyd, your children are too
rude! Isnât it easy to just give Lydia a position in the company? Who are they acting smug for?â Floyd was
already in a terrible mood when he heard those words earlier.
He did not expect Jade to be so shameless. His face was sunken as he cast a sidelong glance at Jade
and warned her unceremoniously.
âWhat kind of place do you think this is where you can act recklessly? Youâd better watch your mouth.â
As soon as Floyd spoke, Jade was a little frightened.
Her arrogant tone earlier dissipated as she said in a soft voice, âWeâre all family, so whatâs the point of
proceduresâ¦â Lydia saw the situation and hurriedly stepped forward to ease the situation.
âUncle Floyd, my mother doesnât mean that. Donât misunderstand her.â ) Jade frowned and was just
about to speak when she was interrupted.
Floydâs voice was extremely cold.â Family? Are you family? Youâre just an unseemly mistress! Who do
you think you are to tell us what to do?â That single remark knocked Jade off her high horse.
Back then, Noahâs wife was so angry with this mistress that she fell ill. She never recovered from the
illness and passed away within a few days.
From then on, Floyd had never bothered with his second brotherâs affairs. Noah had been doing nothing
for a long time. Floyd only got him to take care of the companyâs business in Jericho City for the sake of
their kinship.
However, Floyd made it clear back then that if Noah were to marry Jade, Noah would lose all the rights
and benefits of the company in Jericho City.
Thus, Jade remained as Noahâs mistress for more than ten years. They were not legally married.
However, Jade went around as the Second Madam of the Stanton family in the past few years, and no
one stopped her.
Thus, Jade thought that she had been accepted by the Stantons. However, Floyd Stanton and his family
were so unforgiving.
They never took her seriously. Lydia bit her lower lip. Her eyes were red with forbearance. Her last name
was not Stanton, and because of this, she was a world away from Nicole.
This was the difference between a true heiress and a fraud.
Lydia said resentfully, âUncle Floyd, how can you say that? Although Dad and Mom arenât legally
married, theyâve been together for more than ten years! Weâve long been a part of the Stanton family.
Youâre the one who refused to let Dad marry Mom, so how can you still say that weâre outsiders?â Floyd
swept a cold glance at her and rebuked her. âIâm talking here. Who are you to interrupt?â
