Eric's eyes were a little cold. “Why didn't you marry someone else?”

Keith smiled. “Unlike your Ms. Stanton, my girl is easy to coax and came back after I gave her some benefits. Even if you gave Nicole the entire Ferguson Corporation, she might not even look you in the eye.”

Eric was silent and speechless.

Even if he gave it to her, she might not want it...

Keith pointed to the banquet hall. “Look how beautiful it is! That was her only request. She wanted to personally decorate our remarriage scene. The whole place is filled with things she likes. Well, as long as she's happy. Girls, y'know? If you want to give them gifts, you have to make sure that they're on point.”

'So, what was Nicole' s 'point'?' Eric did not know. His expression soured.

Keith patted his shoulder. “Ferg, my wife seems to have arranged an activity for later. I'll find a chance for you...”

They were best friends, after all. Since Keith was remarried, he could not just stand by and watch Eric suffer painfully.

Eric did not say anything and went straight in.

He did not want to listen to Keith anymore. Keith was just showing off.

Lil Michael followed Nicole in. No one stopped the well-dressed child, so he was as free as he could be.

Nicole and Kai chatted with others while Lil Michael obediently found a table to eat dessert.

The surrounding decorations were white and dreamy, and it was clear that the person who planned the wedding site put a lot of thought into it.

Kai dragged Nicole to the side. “Julie is over there...” Nicole was speechless.

Julie said a few words to the woman beside her and began to direct the people to the side to do something.

The woman next to her was the bride, Livia Lehman. “Jules!” Kai waved.

Julie turned her head at the sound, froze, and then walked over with a smile.

“Lil N, K, you're here too?”

Nicole smiled and nodded.“ It seems like you were the one who designed the wedding?”

Julie bowed her head and smiled.

“I just helped out. The bride was the one who decided on everything.”

Nicole raised her brows. “The decorations are pretty nice.”

However, it just felt like something was missing.

To the side, Kai took out the box he had prepared for a long time from his pocket and handed it over.

“ I wanted to give this to you a long time ago, but I never found the opportunity.”

Julie froze before taking it. She opened it and gave him a breezy smile.

“Thanks. You could've just gotten someone to send it over. There was no need to find a special opportunity.”

Kai and Nicole were shocked by Julie's reaction. Julie cared a lot about this thing.

However, she only held it in her hand and did not look at it again.

Kai's expression was clearly a little disappointed, but he did not say anything more.

Nicole thought about it and went over to pull her arm. “It took my brother several all-nighters to fix it. There are still some flaws when I look at it, but it's much better than before. Jules, take a closer look. Are you satisfied with it?”

Julie was somewhat surprised to learn that Kai fixed it himself.

Just as she was about to take it out for a closer look, the bride suddenly called out her name from behind, so she put it away without a second thought.

“I appreciate his sincerity, so I'll be satisfied with it no matter what. I have to go help out now. You guys go have fun first. We'll talk later.”

Nicole nodded and quickly let her go. She could not delay Julie's business.

Turning around, she patted Kai's shoulder.

“K, I think that the possibility of you getting back together with her isn't very likely.”

Kai glared at her speechlessly. “That's nonsense...” What was nonsense?

Getting back together with her?

Or the possibility of it being not likely?

Before Nicole could ask, the large electronic screen that played a slideshow of the couple's wedding photos suddenly turned off.

Everyone's attention was drawn for a moment. Then, the screen lit up again.

Countless people in the audience gasped.

Photos scrolled on the screen. They were pictures of Keith with different women.

The most shocking thing was that Keith did not worry about being photographed when behaving intimately with these women. There were some photos of him shopping with a female model in his arms, some photos of him having tea with female stars, and even photos of him on a beach vacation with several internet celebrities...

This scene was like dropping a bomb. It was sensational.

In an instant, the originally lively atmosphere that was mixed with the clinking of glasses became quiet and cold.

No one spoke up in the large banquet hall.

The light and soothing music played in the banquet hall also seemed very strange.

The next second, Keith noticed what was happening. His expression changed dramatically as his pupils shrank.

Keith ran in wildly and shouted, “Stop! Who put up my photos? Turn it off!”

If one listened carefully, one would be able to hear the unconcealable panic in his voice.

No one responded.

The photos were still rolling as if revealing the skeletons of his happy life, proving that he was just deceiving himself.

The fig leaf of this wedding was forcefully pulled aside, making everyone look at the ugly truth.

The original intention was to come to Keith's remarriage banquet,  but the result was the opposite. The blessings that came out of everyone's mouth had simply turned into jokes.

Keith desperately ran backstage, not caring about anyone else. He was only worried about one thing. He hoped that Livia did not see it. She could not see this scene!

However, before he could reach backstage, he heard the crowd exclaim again.

Turning around, on the red carpet paved in front of the electronic screen, many women suddenly appeared one after another, wearing different styles of expensive wedding dresses.

They were all dressed exquisitely, walking like they were strutting down a runway and lifting the wedding dresses in their hands to show themselves off to the others.

The most shocking thing was that those women were the same women on the large screen.

Anyone who saw it would feel like this scene was too astonishing.

Keith looked at those women and instantly paled, his expression turned ugly.

His fear and panic permeated every pore, and a bad premonition haunted his heart at every moment like a knife hanging over him.

When he saw that scene, the knife fell.

Keith wanted nothing more than to bleed to death, but he could only stare in horror as he trembled.

Countless strange eyes looked at Keith, today's bridegroom.

He was high-spirited and full of mettle before, but all of that was completely replaced by wretchedness and darkness.

After just a few seconds, he ran over like he was crazy and violently grabbed one of the women. His tone was trembling and harsh.

“Who told you to come here? Who told you to do this?!”

The woman panicked for a moment and could not escape, but she kept her mouth shut.

Keith was livid. Without caring about manners and etiquette, he slapped the woman and roared, “Get out! All of you, get out!”

However, the women had no intention of leaving and continued to walk around the red carpet.

Keith was on the verge of a mental breakdown as if he was about to lose control. He grabbed another woman and gnashed his teeth, asking, “You, tell me! Who told you to come?!”

The atmosphere was frigid.

However, it was also hot and boisterous.

Someone slowly came out from backstage. Her voice was gentle and soft. “It was me.”

The bride, who had changed out of her wedding dress, was wearing a simple navy-blue dress, the style of which was old and out of place in this grand venue.

Livia stood there and looked at Keith with a smile, but there was no trace of warmth in her eyes.

Keith's expression changed dramatically as his eyes flashed with a trace of panic and shock.

It was as if his whole body had been drained of energy.

He seemed to recognize that Livia was wearing this navy-blue dress on the day she was sent to the Ludwig family.

At that time, Keith ridiculed her for being a country bumpkin, saying that she was like a sparrow who was trying to climb to the highest branch. He called her a vulgar and tasteless woman.

Images of the  past flashed in his mind. Keith was forced by his grandfather to marry Livia, but he humiliated and degraded her. He never treated her as an equal before.

Keith believed that at that time, he was the scummiest ex-husband.

To get revenge on Livia's arrival, Keith even went so far as to secretly use his power to suppress Livia's family to the point of bankruptcy.

Finally, Livia agreed to divorce him.

Read Novel "The Divorced Billionaire Heiress" chapter No.583

In just one month, Keith seemed to grow uncomfortable with life without Livia, and even more uncomfortable with watching his wife, who had been pampered in the Ludwig family for several years, go out and work for someone else, acting servile and obsequiously.

Keith went to ask for a reconciliation, and Livia agreed after less than three times.

'Look, she still likes me.' Keith then decided to treat her well.

However...

At that moment, Livia's eyes were cold like the tundra.

Keith stood there with his mouth open, but he was unable to make a sound.

Livia came forward step by step and stopped six feet away.

There was an impersonal smile on her sweet face.

"Mr. Ludwig, they're all your old lovers. Why didn't you invite them to your wedding?"

Keith felt an astringent taste in his throat. He went

over to Livia with his eyes fixed on her and spoke with a pleading tone.

“ I was wrong. Wifey, I was really wrong. I wasn't a good man in the past, but I'll be good to you in the future. I'll only be good to you!”

Keith was willing to make all promises and oaths to her and live by them for the rest of his life. He also hoped that the woman in front of him would not look at him with such cold eyes.

He panicked.

The crowd stared at the scene. Something like this which they would never even dream of actually happened in real life?

The frivolous and flirtatious Young Master Ludwig had come to this point?

However, Livia was unmoved. Her heart was as hard as iron as she smiled.

Then, with a dignified temperament, Livia looked at the women and said with a gentle voice, “Thank you, ladies. I'll have someone send you home safely.”

The women in wedding dresses finally stopped parading around and simply ran out of the banquet hall.

The lively banquet hall was enveloped in deathly silence.

However, there were faint whispers in the atmosphere.

Livia stepped forward and walked past Keith.

She smiled at the guests. “Everyone, just think of what happened as a good show. I know why you're all here, but Mr. Ludwig and I will not remarry.”

Keith's eyes were scarlet. His fists clenched as he looked at her.

He did not dare to say anything.

“During our marriage, Mr. Ludwig and I had a broken relationship. I've become aware that I'm not worthy of being Mrs. Ludwig, and I dare not even think about it in the future.”

Livia was using the most decisive method to cut off all her ties with Keith.

Now that it had come to this disgusting situation, if Keith still refused to give up on Livia, then he only brought pain and humiliation for himself.

No man would decide to continue clinging to an ex- wife who did this to him.

“Wifey! ”

Keith growled in a low voice. He was scared. He was even more scared than when they divorced.

In just a few words, she hollowed out his  heart  and hurt him deeply.

Livia paused and looked back at him with a smile. “You're free, Mr. Ludwig.”

This was the freedom he dreamed of. This was the freedom he gained after doing so many things to hurt her.

He got what he wished.

Livia took a step back, but Keith immediately grabbed her hand.

“Where are you going? This is our wedding. You can't leave!”

Even now, he still wanted the wedding to continue normally?

Nicole, who was watching the show below the stage, could  not  help but snicker.

Nicole's reaction was especially prominent among the many guests.

What stood out more was Eric, who was standing next to Keith with a worried yet gloomy face.

The layer of frost on his face could even be compared to Keith, the main character on stage.

Eric brought Nicole here to psychologically build her up for a remarriage, not to let her watch this farce of a failure!

'Keith is really incompetent! He deserves this!' Eric thought.

Read Novel "The Divorced Billionaire Heiress" chapter No.584

The scene was frozen.

Livia shook off Keith 's hand, her tone detached.“ Taking this opportunity, I've decided to announce something.”

Everyone looked at her.

Livia said, “I'm going to set up a law firm which specializes in divorce cases involving mistresses. I will do my best to ensure the best interest of innocent victims. In the case of my failed marriage, I have been humiliated, ignored, trampled on, and slapped in the face. I can no longer stand it. To all the ladies present, the only thing that can protect us will only be our interests. That's why, if you need any help, you can always come to find me.”

At those words, the banquet hall fell silent. Even the music stopped.

Keith's face was devoid of any trace of blood. He looked at her in shock, as if he never knew the woman in front of him.

Then, lone applause suddenly sounded in the crowd. Everyone looked for the source.

Nicole calmly clapped her hands, without regard for others.

Immediately after, Julie was the second. Then, there was a third and a fourth...

The crowd' s applause became denser, louder, and more concentrated.

None of the women present had the courage to expose the most shameful side of their marriage.

Even if they divorced, it was mostly the men who dominated the division of property.

This also meant that once they divorced, their standard of living would plummet. That was why so many women chose to turn a blind eye to their husband's betrayal in their marriages.

After all, no one had Nicole's background and confidence.

Eric rubbed his eyebrows, his expression turning ugly.

He walked over to Nicole's side and lowered his voice.

“Don't get involved. Things are bad enough as it is.” Nicole smiled at the words and looked at him with cold eyes.

That glance made Eric's heart clench.

She said, “Mr. Ferguson, this bad situation was caused by Mr. Ludwig, wasn't it?”

Before Eric could reply, Nicole snorted lightly.

“ I didn't have Ms. Lehman 's courage. Why didn't I think of such a satisfying method of revenge before?”

At those words, Eric's face turned cold, sunken, and somewhat pale.

His heart felt like it was strangled by thin threads, slowly oozing blood.

Did he forget?

What was the difference between the way Eric treated Nicole and how Keith treated Livia?

At the very least, the Old Master Ludwig still cared about Livia.

What about the Ferguson family?

The whole Ferguson family regarded Nicole as a thorn in their side.

Thinking of this, Eric felt a suffocating pain in his heart.

He gripped her wrist tightly, refusing to let go.

Nicole struggled for a moment, but it was useless, so she stopped fighting.

“Nicole, you have to believe that I've changed.” Eric's voice was deep and hoarse.

On the stage, Livia said, “Don't believe when men say that they'll change, because you can't change a dog's instinct to eat sh*t.”

Nicole could not help but smile.

Eric's expression was extremely dark. He looked up at the stage and clenched his teeth.

“ I love you. You're more important to me than life itself.” Eric spoke firmly.

On the stage, Livia said, “Don't believe men who easily say, 'I love you'. Any affection that comes late is cheaper than grass. It's not worth anything.”

This time, Nicole laughed out loud.

Eric took a deep breath. His eyes were sunken as he looked at the person on the stage.

He regretted coming here.

If Keith and that woman delayed his reconciliation with Nicole, Eric would never let them off the hook.

Eric moved close to Nicole's ear, smelling the sweet fragrance of her body. He endured the throbbing in  his heart and said hoarsely, “Nicole, don't be influenced by her. I'm  serious about  you.  If  you don't believe  me,  I'll kneel for you.”

Read Novel "The Divorced Billionaire Heiress" chapter No.585

Eric's voice was dry and hoarse, and his gaze was filled with helplessness. He really could not think of any way to save himself.

He was furious at seeing this unlucky remarriage which put him in an unjust position.

However, more than that, Eric panicked.

Eric had never kneeled to  anyone  since he became  a n adult, but if kneeling could prove his sincerity, he was willing to kneel at her feet.

Under the light, Nicole's eyes were bright as she looked at the stage. She was not the least bit moved by Eric's words.

The corners of her mouth curled gently, slightly disdainful.

“Don't. It'll just shorten my life.”

Did he want to relieve all her sorrows with a single kneel?

Dream on!

Livia's words undoubtedly pushed the atmosphere of the remarriage in the opposite direction.

Keith stood to the side. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a scumbag who should be cut to pieces, but the sadness in his eyes was so profoundly intense.

The people were confused. Was he for real or was he acting?

Keith thought that he would be able to start a happy life again, but he unexpectedly came to a dead end!

The little country bumpkin who used to be so obsequious and never dared to express her opinion actually dared to come forward and cause a scene like this to take revenge on him.

Good. Very good!

At that moment, Keith found that he did not know anything about Livia.

He did not even know that she was a lawyer.

The members of the Ludwig family by the side began to direct the guests out of the banquet hall. Everyone was too embarrassed to stay and watch the show, so they left one after the other.

Unexpectedly, a little boy jumped on the stage. He looked so cute, innocent, and harmless.

He went to Livia's side, pulled her hand, and comforted her sweetly.

“Miss, you have to be brave. You're really pretty, so you'll definitely find a better man. I can introduce my daddy to you!”

At those words, some people stirred up interest to continue watching.

Livia also froze, not knowing where this little boy came from.

Keith choked, the expression on his already ugly face worsened.

This was adding insult to injury.

Lil Michael thought that this was a good opportunity to introduce this lady to Daddy. That way, he could have the Pretty Lady all to himself!

What a wonderful arrangement!

Thinking about it, he continued, “My mommy died, but I'm a good boy and my daddy is rich. He'll take care of you. You can be my mommy!”

Livia frowned. Looking at his soft curly hair, she could not help but reach out and touch it.

Lil Michael thought that this action meant that she agreed. He became even more delighted and expressed his position loudly.

“When I grow up, I'll definitely take good care of my wife. I won't learn from Uncle Keith or Uncle Eric. They're douchebags! My daddy said that scummy men who hurt girls have to be punished! ”

Everyone could not help but be amused, and the atmosphere lightened considerably.

However, the next second, they seemed to realize something.

Uncle Eric?

He actually involved Eric Ferguson in this? That was like a slap to his face in public.

Everyone could not help but look in Eric' s direction.

His entire body was shrouded in the darkness, and his eyes were dim and cold as he tried to control his emotions.

Eric told himself countless times, 'Don't get angry. You can't get angry at a child!'

However, the coldness that surrounded him betrayed his current emotions.

It was impossible not to be angry!

Seeing this, the Ludwig family accelerated the process of vacating the venue.

Nicole went over to Livia and reached out to the little boy. “Come here.”

Lil Michael happily jumped into Nicole's arms.” Pretty Lady, was what I said very reasonable?”

Read Novel "The Divorced Billionaire Heiress" chapter No.586

Nicole stroked the boy's curly hair and smiled.“ Yes. You're awesome, Lil Michael!”

To the side, Livia came over. “Ms. Stanton, you're acquainted with this child?”

Nicole smiled. “Yes, he's my friend's son. Children's words carry no harm. Please don't take offense, Ms. Lehman.”

“Of course not.”

Keith stepped forward, looking a little disheveled. He still refused to give up.

“Wifey...”

“Mr. Ludwig, please call me Ms. Lehman in the future. I think I've made myself very clear with what I just said.”

Keith's eyes were dim. His jaw tightened and he hastily tried to remedy the situation.

“ I'll give you anything you want. If you' re angry that I bankrupted your father's company, I can help him rebuild it again... ”

“Enough... ”

Livia was a little annoyed. She did not even bother to put up a harmonious pretense.

“Young Master Ludwig, I used all that money you spent to pursue me to buy off your ex-girlfriends. They're really not that expensive.”

She snickered, but no one knew who she was laughing at. Then, she looked at Nicole politely.

“ I'm sorry you had to see this joke, Ms. Stanton. Goodbye.”

Nicole raised her brows. “Goodbye.”

This Livia was different from how she imagined. She was very much to Nicole's liking.

Keith still wanted to chase after Livia, but the Ludwig family stopped him.

“That's enough. This farce today has already completely disgraced us. What else do you want to do to humiliate yourself?”

Keith struggled frantically, looking like he was possessed. He insisted on chasing after Livia.

Eric walked over and watched with cold eyes.

Useless!

However, what made Eric even angrier was that he should not have come. He was the most innocent person here. Keith was the one who made all the mistakes, but Eric ended up being scolded along with him.

However, Nicole was here too, so Eric could not make a big deal out of it.

“Let's go. I'll send you back.”

Eric held her wrist and pulled her away without room for refusal. Nicole looked back and tried to find her most reliable third brother, Kai.

However, Kai was blocking Julie in the corner, saying something that Nicole could not hear.

Nicole cursed in her heart. 'Men are all so unreliable!'

Lil Michael followed with his  two short legs, afraid  of being left behind.

Eric wanted nothing more than to pick the boy up and throw him out, but he could not because that was illegal.

He watched as the boy clung tightly to Nicole. His round and bright blue eyes looked sly and cunning.

Eric wondered if he would get sick by holding back his emotions.

Fortunately, the driver quickly carried Lil Michael and placed  him in the passenger  seat, leaving plenty of private space for the two people behind.

The driver raised a small partition, blocking Lil Michael's attempt to cause trouble.

Eric gave him a very satisfied gaze and thought that this driver was quite good. Eric would give him a raise!

Nicole sat there expressionlessly, replying to Logan's message.

Eric was on tenterhooks, afraid that Nicole would send him to hell with her words.

He sat beside her, looking at her beautiful side profile. His gaze became even deeper.

That feeling of apprehension and anxiety also became more intense.

“Let's have dinner together.”

Eric wanted to find a chance to tell Nicole to stay away from Keith's ex-wife.

Nicole did not even raise her head. “No, my dad is waiting for me at home.”

Eric was silent and took a deep breath, trying to sweep away the gloom from tonight.

“Alright, honey. Next time, then.”

Nicole paused in her movements. She narrowed her eyes at him.

“Are you sick again?”

Eric  replied, “I'm lovesick.”

Nicole said, “Get lost!”

Eric smiled, his body and mind much more relaxed after being scolded by her.

Sure enough, Eric was such a miserable wretch.

At the entrance of Stanton Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Floyd had also just returned from a fishing trip.

The two cars met just like that.

Eric was a little nervous in his heart. After all, his status had advanced further since the last time they met.

However, Nicole was exceptionally calm. She got out of the car and brought Lil Michael down, and the butler immediately took the boy inside.

Nicole wanted Eric to leave immediately, but he also got out of the car.

His buttoned suit made him appear noble and clear, and the cold and aloof temperament instantly conformed to him.

Nicole silently cursed him in her heart. His well- dressed figure was already walking towards Floyd' s car.

He did not want to miss this opportunity. He was willing to risk Nicole' s wrath, but he had to meet her parents!

Floyd did not get out of the car. He wound down the car window and narrowed his eyes.

“Mr. Ferguson?”

Eric lowered his head very politely as if he was meeting a familiar elder.

“Chairman Stanton, good evening.”

Floyd smiled and turned to his daughter, who was clearly a little annoyed.

“Lil N went out with Kai, but you were troubled to send her back. Thanks a lot.”

“Don't mention it.”

Floyd said, “Why don't you go in and have a cup of tea?”

He could not be too obvious in sending a guest off. Eric replied, “Sure. Thank you, Chairman Stanton.” Floyd and Nicole were speechless.

As soon as they entered the door, Tigger keenly analyzed the group and ran over excitedly.

“Papa, I love you so much...”

Its four little paws clung to Eric's shoes, wanting to climb up but unable to. It looked at Eric pitifully.

Nicole rolled her eyes at it. 'Robots are really heartless. I raised an ungrateful brat!'

Eric smiled and picked Tigger up with one hand, placing it on his other hand.

He responded warmly, “Papa loves you too...”

Floyd, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and almost fell.

Nicole was completely speechless. This goddamned man. He was so shameless!

Everyone sat down, and the housekeeper immediately served a cup of coffee and two cups of milk.

The milk was served to Nicole and Floyd.

Floyd smiled apologetically. “Sorry for the poor hospitality, Mr. Ferguson. I'm too old and can't sleep if I drink coffee, so I won't be joining you. Lil N is also used to her beauty sleep and can't drink coffee.”

Eric looked at the cup of rich hand- ground black coffee and forced a stiff smile on his face.

“I like drinking coffee at night.”

“That's good.”

Nicole raised her brows. “Mr. Ferguson, since you like it so much, then try our black coffee.”

Eric's eyes swept to her in a dark glance. “Sure.”

Since she offered, he would not refuse.

He picked up the cup, tried a few sips, and drank it completely.

Even Floyd seemed to notice that something was off.

He cleared his throat. “How's your family?” Eric nodded. “They're all quite good.”

“Oh, I heard a while ago that you were getting married to that girl from the Harrison family. How did she suddenly become a murderer? It's quite unfortunate. Your family must be very sad about this.”

Floyd suddenly remembered this incident and casually brought it up.

Eric smiled. “Those were just rumors. You've misunderstood, Chairman Stanton. We've  never had the intention of joining her family in marriage, and we're not sad about what happened to her.”

“She lived in your house, yet you're saying that there was no intention of marriage?”

Nicole lazily sat on the sofa. If Eric was not around, she would have curled her legs and nestled up. It would be much more comfortable than how she felt now.

Eric looked at her as if he wanted to explain this matter specifically to her.

“Never. I only want to marry one person.” 'That person is you.'

Nicole yawned and did not want to continue listening.

“Mr. Anderson, see the guest out.”

Read Novel "The Divorced Billionaire Heiress" chapter No.588

Eric's eyes sank coldly for a moment. He then got up and bid the Stantons farewell.

Floyd clearly saw the bicker between the two of them.

He knew very well that Eric had not given up on Nicole and was even a little frantic. However, that was good.

Eric could have a taste of the same way he tormented Nicole in the past.

Floyd exchanged a few pleasantries and let the butler send Eric off.

Eric was just about to leave when Tigger, who was nestled on the sofa, ran into his arms, not wanting him to leave.

“Papa, I'll miss you. I'll love you forever...”

Nicole paused and looked at the heartless Tigger. Jealousy made her lose her wits.

“If you miss him so much, then just follow him

home.” Tigger froze.

Its AI brain could not tell if Nicole's words were true or false.

Was Tigger not her favorite?

Tigger wagged its tail and walked over reluctantly, pawing at Nicole's shoes.

“Mama, I love you even more...”

Eric was speechless. 'Forget it, it's just a duplicitous tiger.'

The butler sent Eric out. Nicole stretched lazily and wanted to go upstairs to rest.

Floyd called out to her, his fingers tapping gently.“ What's your relationship with Eric now?”

Anyone could tell that something was not right!

It did not look like they were dating, but it did not look like an ex-couple who had fallen out either.

Nicole pursed her lips, her eyes looking a little disordered.

“It's nothing serious.”

Only, it was Nicole who was playing with Eric.

Floyd knew very well that Nicole was very rational in important matters, especially the attitude she had towards Eric after the divorce.

She did not want to continue that relationship.

Thus, if she said that it was nothing serious, then it probably was just her playing around.

Floyd smiled with some tiredness in his eyes.

“It's fine if you fool around. It's no tlike our family can't afford to, but be careful. Don't let yourself get burned when you're playing with fire.”

It was a friendly reminder.

Nicole raised her brows. “I won't.”

“I actually think that Clayton Sloan isn't bad. At least, he's better than Eric. He's letting his son stay in our house now and the child is so lovable. Most importantly, you like the boy, so if you choose Clayton, Dad will support you.”

Floyd carefully considered it. It was a large circle, but there were only a few men who were an appropriate match for her.

Compared to Eric, they were all inferior.

However, Clayton ' s influence was overseas, so he would not be affected by Eric. It was worth a shot.

Nicole was halfway up the stairs when she heard those words. She could not help but turn around with a frown.

“Dad, marriage is a grave that I just crawled out of. Why would I want to go back in?”

Floyd could not help but be elated after hearing this. “You're right!”

It rained in the middle of the night, and the raindrops hit the windows, pattering noisily.

Nicole slept soundly and turned over. In the corner, Tigger changed its quiet room mode to silent mode and immediately settled down.

Nicole did not know if Kai came back or not. She did not see his car when she went to work early in the morning.

At the office.

Logan was surprisingly in the mood for gossip.

“President, I heard that the banquet last night was very sensational. Mr. Ludwig' s remarriage banquet will go down in history.”

It was not surprising that Logan knew about it. After all, many people were present, so it was hard for word not to spread.

Nicole smiled. “Yes, it was indeed sensational!”

She had not reached her office when she saw a woman at the reception talking to the secretary.

Nicole narrowed her eyes. That woman was the heroine of last night.

The secretary did not recognize Livia, and Livia did not make an appointment either, so the  secretary did not let her go in and wait.

“Ms. Lehman?”

Read Novel "The Divorced Billionaire Heiress" chapter No.589

Livia turned around to look at Nicole. Livia was dressed differently from yesterday, and she looked more stern and decisive. However, the cold brightness of her aura still made her unforgettable to people.

“Ms. Stanton, sorry for intruding, but do you have a moment?”

Nicole lowered her eyes in thought. She had nothing to do with Livia, but she did feel heartache for what Livia experienced. They had both gone through very similar experiences.

“Come in.”

Logan went over to push open the office door, and Nicole and Livia went in one after another.

“Would you like something to drink?” “Coffee, please.”

Nicole took a seat and subconsciously glanced at the computer. The situation of the opening stock market was extraordinarily clear on the chart.

Most conspicuously, the Ludwig family's stock had been plummeting. In just a few minutes, hundreds of millions had evaporated.

Livia's dress today was very professional, looking like a capable and experienced woman in the workplace, in line with her identity as a lawyer.

“Ms. Lehman, did you need something from me today?”

Livia smiled and hesitated for a few seconds.

“I do, actually. I want to ask for your help, Ms. Stanton.”

Nicole raised her brows. “Go on.”

“Ms. Stanton, I'm sure that you're aware that everyone now knows what I did last night. Although my law firm is established, no one is coming to my door out of consideration to the Ludwig family's reputation. If this goes on, I will have to close down my firm in less than a month.”

Livia smiled self-deprecatingly.“ I know that you also endured an unhappy marriage before. In that aspect, we're fellow sufferers who empathize with each other. However, I don't have the same strength as you. My family was bankrupted by Keith Ludwig and has no strength to fight back. Last night's farce was my final counterattack.”

Nicole's heart could not help but quiver, but she continued to smile.

“The Ludwigs have lost several hundred million just as the market opened today, and their losses will soon reach a billion. Ms. Lehman, don't underestimate your ability.”

“ I came here this time to shamelessly ask for your help, Ms. Stanton. If you come forward to invest in my firm, no one will care about the influence of the Ludwig family.”

The only way to eliminate the influence of the Ludwig family was to find someone who was stronger and did not care about the Ludwigs.

Nicole Stanton was the best choice. The room was silent for a few seconds.

Nicole immediately understood the purpose of Livia's visit.

Although the Ludwig family lost their reputation at the wedding banquet, the gentry circle rejected outsiders and was quick to forget. Before long, the quiet and obscure Ms. Lehman would become a thing of the past, and the Ludwig family would just have another scandal added to their name.

How many wealthy families out there did not have a single scandal?

Livia needed her own career if she wanted to live to her potential.

Nicole did not see any problem with it. It was as easy as her raising her hand.

“Sure, no problem.”

Livia was a little surprised. “J-Just like that?”

Nicole smiled. “Since you dared to take this step, it means that you're much braver than me. I just have to be careful to make sure that our families don't fall out with each other, but you've done what I always wanted to do. I'll certainly support you a hundred times over.”

Livia was no longer ill at ease and smiled while breathing a sigh of relief.

“Thank you.”

Nicole pondered for a few seconds. “But I think that since you started a business in a high profile, you can't close it in a low profile. It's better to find a way to promote the law firm. High-society ladies and celebrities, as well as other people should be contacted to expand your clientele. That way, you won't be restricted, and you don't have to worry about not having clients.”

Livia looked at her in shock. Being able to casually say such a professional plan made her admire Nicole even more in her heart.

Nicole pondered, leaned back in her chair, and casually drew a circle in the air with a pen.

“Advertising costs money, but according to the current market situation, the most cost-efficient method would be to be your own spokesperson.

With the current trend, it'll be great if you're liked by the public.”

Nicole's thoughts darted out and her eyes suddenly flashed. She smiled. “Why don't I produce a variety show where divorced single women develop their careers? It'll definitely resonate well. What do you think?”

Livia's eyes also brightened. She nodded, but then she felt embarrassed. “But will the investment be too much?”

Nicole waved her hand. “Don't worry, I'll leave it to the professionals. All you have  to do is take  part in it."

Livia nodded solemnly.

Everyone easily agreed to what Nicole proposed.

Nicole immediately asked Dominic Young to find someone to set a plan.

Livia went back not long after, and she also set Nicole's share of the profit to fifty percent.

Nicole narrowed her eyes and immediately changed it to ten percent before sending it back to Livia.

She was not spending her energy on this, so she naturally could not take advantage of Livia. Besides, Livia still needed to manage the law firm after this.

Dominic did not have any doubts about the novelty of this variety show. The public had seen many shows where the participants gradually grew closer, but a show about self-improvement and inspiration

to engage in their careers after divorce would certainly open up a new path.

After all, Nicole poured her heart into her career after the divorce, which everyone was interested in. Unfortunately, Nicole was not an actor, so she would not perform for everyone to see.

Once this variety show was released, it would definitely attract a lot of attention. There was no need to worry about the hype for the show.

Dominic immediately held a secret meeting, and the plan was instantly decided.

The main characters to participate were not only Livia but also several famous divorced female celebrities in the entertainment industry. These people would guarantee their early ratings.

Dominic was very determined to invite Nicole to participate as well because everyone was more interested in her identity.

Nicole did not agree immediately, but she agreed to join the first episode to add some hype to the show.

When the variety show started looking for investments, Nicole did not let Stanton Corporation invest but instead turned to the public.

Ferguson Corporation.

Mitchell hurriedly placed the investment invitation proposal on Eric's desk.

Eric raised his brows. “What program is this?”

“I heard it's a divorcee variety show made to promote Young Master Ludwig's ex-wife, Ms. Lehman.”

Eric frowned. “It's by Keith?” He snorted.

Mitchell watched Eric's face closely. “It's by Ms. Stanton.”

Eric's expression turned ugly. 'Livia is a horrid person. She's leading Nicole astray!'

“Crush it.”

Eric decided at once. The iciness in his eyes was extremely strong.

Mitchell said, “Ms. Stanton is participating as well.” There was silence in the office.

After a long while, Eric suppressed the stirring in his heart and fiercely gritted his teeth.

“No matter how much it costs, Ferguson Corporation must sponsor this variety show exclusively.”

It was his woman's show, so of course, he had to support her fully. He would not give others the opportunity to fawn over her.

Mitchell frowned and continued to explain the content and nature of the variety show. He said hesitatingly, “President, we don't know the market for this kind of variety show. The guest stars aren't that popular, and the main thing is that they're all divorced...”

“Alright, that's enough. I've made up my mind. Get to work.”

Eric immediately commanded.

Mitchell paused and could only obey his order. “Understood.”

Within a few days, the script for this variety show was sent to Eric's desk.

The title of the document was extremely loud. “Love in the City!”

Eric looked at these four words for a long time. His brows were tightly knitted, his eyes were cold and dim, and he did not look very happy.

Mitchell paused. “President, I've told them that we won't be too involved with the recording of the program, and the funds have been put in place already. The divorced female stars invited all have good reputations and won't have any impact on us.”

Eric's long and slender fingers rubbed the four words, his eyes sunken.

Was this variety show that Nicole was participating in about a happy life after divorce?

His jaw tightened.“ Is it too late to withdraw the investment?”
