Ch. 671..680

Nicole and Julie were close enough that they could talk about everything.

Julie raised her eyebrows. "Who knows?"

"Then why’d you invest in him so much? Aren’t you afraid o f losing all your money?"

Julie curled up the corners of her lips lightly. "If I promote him, he can earn far more than what I invested in him. Also She paused for a while. Her tone was somewhat cool. "If I can hold him up high, I can also  let him  fall  to his death."

As soon as Nicole heard that, she understood. "You don’t have feelings for him?"

Julie laughed. "I do have some feelings for him, but interests are more important."

"Good point."

Once the two ladies looked at each other, there was no need to say anything more. They had a tacit understanding.

Kai still had high hopes then.

However, Nicole also felt some sympathy for Kai. With this trend, even if Julie and Kai were dating, Kai would be the passive one that would be bullied.

As Nicole was thinking this, Kai served them coffee and sat between the two ladies.

The two women were a little stunned. Kai smiled and said, " I just learned how to make coffee. You won’t believe it until you see it with your own eyes."

Julie chuckled. "Then we’re really blessed to have this opportunity. Thanks, K."

Nicole laughed. Kai’s hypocritical attitude of trying to be servile yet lofty was just so degrading.

However, when she received Kai’s warning gaze, Nicole dared not show it.

Nicole propped her chin up with one hand and watched Kai make coffee with great interest along with Julie.

She thought, ’I’m such a good sister...’

Kai moved skillfully to make coffee for them according to their preferences.

Nicole liked more milk and less sugar, while Julie liked less milk and less sugar.

She had to admit that Kai’s hands with well-defined fingers were like works of art. His every move was very aesthetic.

Kai’s hands were indeed very ornamental.

No wonder he never used hand models for his scenes. No matter when the camera zoomed in on his hands, every detail was impeccable.

God really favored Kai!

Nicole secretly thought to herself as Kai finished making Julie’s cup of coffee.

The taste of coffee was mellow and rich. The coffee beans were brought back from New Zealand and were priceless. I t smelled like money.

Julie reached out.

Kai raised his eyes and smiled at Julie. "Wait a minute."

He picked up the coffee cup with his left hand and another cup with his right hand, then carefully drew a little robin with the milk froth.

The wings of the bird were very lifelike. What a cute little animal!

Nicole looked on in shock. Julie also froze slightly.

Kai smiled and pushed the cup of coffee over. "Try it. This milk is special. It’s low fat and has no sugar."

He was really out to impress Julie.

Julie smiled and took it. "K, this coffee art is so professional!"

She was just being polite, but Kai’s smile grew deeper because of these words.

"It’s nothing. You can always come over if you feel like drinking coffee."

Nicole coughed, which made Kai instantly notice her presence.

Kai added another kind of rich milk for Nicole. It was a brand that she drank on a regular basis.

Just when Nicole was expecting Kai to make her another coffee art, Kai already pushed the cup of coffee to her.

The coffee in front of Nicole looked so plain without any frills.

The difference could not be more obvious!

Nicole frowned and looked at Kai. ’Is he even my brother?!’

Kai casually urged her. "Drink it quickly. Don’t let it get cold. It’ll be a waste!"

Nicole forced a smile. ’Is this how he treats his sister?!’

Julie could not help but laugh. Seeing that Nicole was about to flip the table, she hurriedly eased the situation.

"K, Lil N has waited for so long for your coffee art. How could you forget this step?"

Kai frowned and looked at his troublesome baby sister.

Since Julie requested it, he could not just deal with it simply.

"Fine, I’ll draw one for you..."

Nicole smirked and coldly snorted. "I want an owl!"

Kai’s hands stiffened. ’I don’t know how to draw an owl!’

Kai practiced dozens of times for Julie’s robin before he was able to do it.

His face changed dramatically, and he almost wanted to flip the table.

’This Lil N only knows how to make me look bad! I knew that I shouldn’t have put my hopes on her! If my happiness lies in her hands, I’ll probably be single for life!’ Kai thought.

The atmosphere was quiet.

The laughter downstairs and the awkward silence upstairs formed an extremely stark contrast.

Julie took a sip of coffee before noticing the tension flowing between these two siblings.

"Ahem... That might be a little difficult for Kai..." Kai laughed as he glared meaningfully at his sister.

"I know how to draw an owl. It’s just that I think it’d be more appropriate to draw you a black card, right, Lil N?"

He was indirectly reminding Nicole that even after receiving his black card, she still dared to make things difficult for him? ’Lil N, you’d better know your limits!’

Nicole pursed her lips and felt suffocated all of a sudden. That black card was limitless.

For the sake of money, Nicole would let this go.

"Right... I know that Kai knows everything. What’s a mere owl anyway?"

Nicole’s attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees as she smiled brightly.

They tacitly stopped pressing on about the coffee. "Lil N, Lil K, come down to receive the guests!"

Floyd shouted from downstairs. Nicole and Kai were shaken.

"Lil K?"

Nicole was fine with her nickname because she was used t o it, but Kai’s face looked like he ate a fly, yet he dared not spit it out. It was very amusing.

That was because this came from his beloved father. Julie was laughing until she was breathless.

Nicole and Kai looked at each other, and the two of them let out a long sigh in their hearts. They instantly got on the same page.

The group of relatives that they only saw once a year were here.

Julie stifled a laugh and waved at them. "You guys go ahead. Don’t mind me. I’ll be here drinking coffee."

The two siblings could not even pretend to not have heard their father.

Kai stood up calmly, but he felt extremely unpleasant in his heart.

"I’ve told Dad many times not to call me ’Lil K’! Why didn’t h e call Mav ’Lil M’ then?!’

Nicole was speechless. "Why doesn’t Dad ask Grant to come out and ’receive the guests’?"

That was because Grant would not laugh and exchange pleasantries with those relatives. He would only throw cold water on them when they were joking.

Over time, Floyd simply ignored Grant. When they had guests, it was up to him to come out or not.

How nice!

As the two siblings complained to each other, they arrived downstairs and already had a bright smile plastered on their faces.

It was professional and perfunctory.

Floyd came into the house with a dozen people. The smile on his face could not be hidden.

"Lil N, Lil K, greet the guests..."

Nicole and Kai looked at each other. The two of them instantly became nervous and said in unison, "Hello, Uncle Noah..."

Noah Stanton nodded, looking to be in good spirits.

He swaggered over to the living room and sat on the sofa. What about the rest?

The siblings looked at each other awkwardly because they

did not recognize anyone else. Floyd glared at his children for not living up to his expectations. He smiled as he walked over and said, “This i s your eldest maternal aunt’s husband. This is your second maternal aunt’s husband. This is your maternal grand-aunt. This is the daughter of your deceased uncle from your maternal grand-aunt’s side of the family...”

Kai and Nicole felt like they were props. Their faces were stiff  from smiling, but they still had to keep smiling and greet the guests.

Nicole did not even smile so much when she was with business partners. She felt like she was about to get facial cramps.

Kai was a famous movie star that had an aloof and noble image and was worshipped by everyone, was still subjected to this torture.

After the introduction of a number of relatives, Floyd also felt that his mouth was a little dry.

Fortunately, the butler was extremely tactful to hand over a cup of tea. "Chairman Stanton, the coffee and refreshments are ready..."

Floyd hurriedly welcomed them into the house.

"Quick, quick... Please come in. Make yourselves at home!" Floyd then gulped down a large cup of tea.

Then, without changing his face, Floyd led Nicole and Kai inside.

Floyd hurriedIy introduced his daughter that he was most proud of.

"This is Lil N. She’s taking care of our company. Grant is just an auxiliary. Our Lil N’s net worth put her in the global Forbes list. She’s famous!"

The crowd looked on with envy and jealousy, which made Floyd feel prouder.

Floyd smiled. "My second son doesn’t like to meet people.

He’s a scientist and won a few world-class awards. He also participated in a few national confidential scientific research projects and won a few honorary titles internationally, but he’s not great in other aspects.”

Knowing that Maverick did not like this kind of occasion, if Maverick came out and said something earth-shattering, their New Year would be ruined.

Thus, Floyd only explained Maverick‘s absence and focused on his two most boisterous children, Nicole and Kai.

Their grand-aunt went over and pinched Nicole’s cheek.

"Lil N, you’ve been on the trending topics every few days. Who are you really with? I think that young actor Fabian is a little too immature. Is Xander really Eric Ferguson’s substitute?"

Everyone looked at Nicole with curiosity. Some teasing, some playful, but all of them waiting to watch a show.

Grand-aunt asked what was on everyone’s mind. For a moment, the room fell silent.

This time, Floyd almost could not hold back.

Just when Floyd was about to ease the situation, Nicole swatted her grand-aunt’s hand carelessly. Her face was calm, and she had a faint smile as she said, "You seem to b e more worried about this than the reporters..."

Although she had a smile, her voice was cold.

Nicole did not need to care about such distant relatives.

It was just that Floyd liked to have more people around for a lively atmosphere, so he wanted everyone to gather together.

Kai secretly gave Nicole a thumbs up from the side. ’You go girl! Nicole can really talk back to elders so righteously! Good job!’

If Kai were to do this, Floyd would probably whip him on the spot.

Everyone obviously saw Nicole’s dismissive attitude.

Earlier, Floyd mentioned that Nicole was the real boss of Stanton Corporation, so no one dared to say a word of objection.

Moreover, Floyd did not intend to scold Nicole. Everyone’s gossipy mood instantly vanished.

Floyd hastened to save the day. "How can you believe the rumors on the internet? Lil N is only fooling around with them. It‘s nothing serious!"

Kai raised his eyebrows and looked at his father in shock. ’ How is this saving the day?! This is making it worse!’

Nicole was also speechless for a moment. The corners of her mouth twitched, but it was useless for her to explain any further. ’Forget it...’

The grand-aunt sighed. "Although it’s not great that Lil N is divorced, we have money, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find another man who’s divorced. Worse comes to worst, just relax the conditions, even a man with a child will be fine..."

Nicole thought, ’Hah! Why didn’t she just say that I should be stoned to death?’

Read Chapter 674 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

The atmosphere once again plunged to freezing point.

Nicole was no longer bothered to say anything else and left. Kai also followed closely behind.

The siblings went back to Julie. Kai saw Julie’s forlorn side profile and said, "Let me play you a song..."

There was a piano on the second floor that no one usually used. Floyd only put it there because the space looked too empty.

Kai walked over to the piano and sat upright, like a prince that came out of a fairy tale. His face and temperament were enough to stun a crowd.

The next second, the delicate sound of the piano flowed from his fingers eloquently and elegantly in gentle and flexible movements. His fingers that touched the black and white keys were well-defined and extremely attractive.

On the balcony of the second floor.

Hearing the sound of the piano, Nicole could not help but sigh.

’Poor Kai!’

Julie frowned. "Is Kai playing the piano?" Nicole raised her eyebrows and nodded.

Julie listened carefully for a while. Her expression was a little complex.

"How could he play this serenade with such resentment and hatred?"

Nicole was surprised that Julie could hear this.

She unconsciously laughed and thought, ’Julie is really Kai’s confidant!’

As they were talking, Tigger climbed up from somewhere and looked at Nicole with a pair of big, watery eyes.

It looked so aggrieved.

"Mama, Mean Molly bullied me!"

’Tigger knows how to complain?’ Nicole picked it up with one hand and stroked its soft tiger fur.

"I’m not going to get rid of her for you. You have to be nice to Molly because from now on, she’s a part of our family!"

Tigger blinked its big eyes and shook its tiger whiskers with a grievance. ’Oh, no! I don’t want to be related to Mean Molly!’

Julie picked Tigger up and stroked it for a while. "It’s so warm like a real tiger!"

"Except for not being able to eat, it’s no different from the real one!" Nicole smiled dotingly.

Tigger was immersed in his own sadness. Even with a lot o f praise, it was still unhappy.

Its head drooped down as it chanted. "Break up! Break up!

Make them break up!"

’I don’t wanna be with Mean Molly!’ Tigger thought. Nicole and Julie laughed.

"Do you want to die, Little Traitor?!"

Molly gnashed her teeth. Her angry voice came from the side.

Nicole raised her eyebrows and watched as Tigger cowered in Julie’s arms as Molly gradually approached.

Tigger was really scared!

Molly picked the tiger with one hand and looked at it threateningly. ”You’d better be careful. Or else, I’ll turn you into a mouse!”

"No, no, no... I don’t wanna be a mouse! Mama, save me!”

Tigger’s four legs stirred in the air. It was so scared that it became a kitten. How pitiful!

Nicole felt soft-hearted and carried Tigger. "Molly, don’t scare Tigger...”

Molly pursed her lips. "If you spoil it like this, it’ll imitate human personality traits and will only be more conceited.”

No wonder.

Even if that was the case, no one could bear to discipline this little cutie.

Nicole squinted. ”It’s okay.”

Molly sat opposite Julie. The two of them nodded at each other. ”I’m Molly Stewart.”

”I’m Julie Nixon.”

Nicole saw this scene and felt a little strange.

In the future, would they both be her sisters-in-law?

It was fated!

Nicole flashed a meaningful smile. Molly looked at Nicole and spoke hesitantly, ”Nikki, the Great God has always been bad at hand ling interpersonal relationships. I didn’t even greet the group of relatives downstairs. They won’t have a problem with me, right?”

Read Chapter 675 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole paused for a moment. "Of course not! They’re very open-minded. You don’t have to bother about what others think. Just follow my second brother’s temper."

In the Stanton family, no one dared to show Maverick attitude.

Molly sighed with relief and smiled.

"That’s good. After all, this is my first time here. My mother saw that I must be sweet-tongued and diligent, then wait for the marriage to be finalized."

Molly sighed and continued, "But there’s simply no chance for me to perform!"

Nicole and Julie were stunned.

Julie could not help but laugh. "Mav’s girlfriend is so real, huh?"

Nicole laughed and thought, ’Molly was even more realistic earlier in the garden. She didn’t hide her yearning to marry into a wealthy family.’

However, this kind of realness made people feel comfortable. It was much better than those sycophantic high-society ladies.

"Molly’s very cute. My second brother hasn’t been attracted to girls since young. He likes Molly so much because her personality surpasses all human females!"

Molly instantly straightened her back again and laughed unconsciously.

"Nikki, don’t be so blunt when you compliment me. I’ll feel embarrassed!"

Tigger, who was nestled in Nicole’s arms, could not resist peeking his little head out. It poked at Molly’s true colors.

"Mean Molly’s a liar!"

Molly rolled her eyes and shot a warning glance at this stupid tiger.

Tigger was scared again and hid in Nicole’s arms.

It was scared to death.

Everyone was talking and laughing and did not notice that someone had gone up to the second floor and found them by following the sound of their laughter.

"Cousin, you’re here..."

Nicole raised her eyebrows. There was a decent-looking young lady in that group of relatives earlier, but Nicole had little impression and did not know who she was.

It was New Year’s Eve, and this cousin was invited by Floyd, so Nicole did not show her attitude.

Nicole smiled. "Cousin?"

That girl came over and introduced herself sweetly. "I went to study abroad and rarely came back for the New Year, but before I left Mediania, I came every year. I’m Xandria. We grew up together..."

Nicole thought about it for a while and did not remember who she was.

However, Nicole smiled. "Right, Xandria..."

Xandria nodded excitedly. ’It’s good that she remembers me, then it’ll be easier for me to say what I came here for.’

Instantly, Xandria’s gaze was drawn to Tigger, who was in Nicole’s arms. "Is that a tiger?!"

’OMG! I’ve only heard of people rearing horses, birds, and even monkeys... The Stanton family even dares to rear a tiger?! The hobbies of these rich people are really beyond the imagination of us commoners!’ Xandria thought.

Nicole laughed. "This is an artificial intelligence robot that looks like a tiger. It’s not real."

As she said this, Nicole patted Tigger. "Tigger, say hello."

Tigger lazily poked its head out and gave her a cute look. " Hello, Madam!"

Before the young Xandria could get excited, she was a little flustered when she heard that address. "A talking tiger? You can call me Miss instead of Madam..."

Xandria reached out and wanted to carry Tigger, but Tigger was not bothered and shrunk in Nicole’s arms motionlessly, playing dead.

Xandria’s awkward hand was raised in mid-air. She looked at Nicole and asked, "Can I carry it?"

Nicole paused for a moment. Although she was not very willing, it was just a hug.

Thus, Nicole handed Tigger over to Xandria, who happily took it over. Xandria was surprised and stroked it. She suddenly thought that it would be great if she could take it home.

Read Chapter 676 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Xandria said, "It’s so soft, just like real fur! It’s also warm. If it didn’t talk, I would’ve really thought that it was a real tiger

Nicole smiled and raised her eyebrows. After all, she felt the same at first.

"Where did you buy this robot tiger?" Xandria asked. Nicole frowned. "Someone else gave it to me." Xandria asked excitedly. "Who?"

For a while, no one said anything.

Nicole glanced at Xandria faintly, her smile fading. She already showed her dissatisfaction by being quiet. Xandria was just too nosy.

However, Xandria was untactful and asked, "Since it’s from someone else, why don’t you give it to me? It’s so cute! If I post it online, it’ll definitely shock the world!"

Nicole faintly pursed her lips. Her voice was flat as she said, "Since it’s from someone else, I can’t just give it to anybody."

Xandria said, "Why not? This is nothing to the Stanton family. You can even keep a real tiger if you want..."

Why be so calculative because of a robot tiger? Xandria really liked this tiger very much.

Nicole’s smile was obviously a lot colder.

"Whether or not I’m interested in keeping one is the most important thing. Give it back to me."

Nicole reached out and indicated her attitude.

Xandria was very reluctant and took two steps back with Tigger in her hands. She tried to think of something.

"Nicole, your father has always been generous to us, so why don’t we go ask Uncle Floyd?"

Xandria thought that Floyd, who generously took care of them and even paid for her tuition fees abroad, would agree to give away such an ordinary robot tiger.

Nicole’s face sank. She did not even bother to show any courtesy. "Give it back."

Her hand was outstretched, and her tone condensed. She exuded a chilly aura around her.

Although Xandria was a little afraid of Nicole, she thought that as long as she could have this little tiger, she would definitely go viral online. By then, she would be famous!

Xandria hugged Tigger tightly, not wanting to let go, then turned around and wanted to run downstairs.

Molly, who had been sitting there watching the scene, finally could not help it and stood up as she slapped the table.

"Little Traitor, how can you get taken away without knowing to resist? Are you a weak chicken?"

In a flash, Tigger snapped to its senses and jumped down from Xandria’s clutches into Nicole’s arms.

"I’m a fierce tiger!"

Nicole felt that her arms were full before she calmed down and stroked Tigger, encouraging its bravery earlier.

Tigger had pretty good fighting power!

Xandria’s arms were empty. Her face turned pale as she looked at the wound on her arm. Her eyes suddenly turned red.

"You... You actually scratched me?"

Xandria held Tigger too tightly earlier. To break free from her arms, Tigger had to go into attack mode before it went into defense mode.

Tigger lifted its head and suddenly felt majestic.

"Attack level one, combat power level one, reaction speed level one. I’m a smart tiger and I won’t follow you home!"

Tigger hated this woman.

Molly smiled with satisfaction on the side. "The tiger I designed isn’t just to look and act cute. If it doesn’t have some combat power, how can it be the king of the forest?"

Xandria was surprised as she looked at Molly. "You designed it?"

She suddenly remembered that when she was downstairs, Floyd introduced this woman as a famous world-class scientist.

For a moment, Xandria was a little disillusioned.

"Then... Can you design another tiger that won’t scratch people?"

"Will you pay for it?" Molly asked her calmly.

"Uh... Money?"

Read Chapter 677 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Xandria was a little surprised.

Molly said, "The cost of a tiger like this is at least nine figures. If you don’t pay for it, do you expect me to give it to you?"

Xandria’s face turned pale. She was shocked by this figure.

She looked down at the expensive tiger and instantly did not dare to touch it.

"We’re all relatives. Can’t it be cheaper?" Xandria muttered. Everyone present looked shocked when they heard this.

’How can she even say that?!’ Nicole felt speechless. ’How can I have such relatives?’

Julie lowered her head and drank her coffee without speaking.

Nicole looked away and pretended not to know Xandria.

Molly blinked. "Huh? I don’t work at a farmer’s market, so you can’t bargain with me."

Xandria lowered her head in disappointment just as Floyd came upstairs holding Lil Michael’s hand.

"Lil N, Lil Michael was just playing outside. Take him to wash his hands..."

Nicole stood up at the right time. "Okay!"

Xandria did not let go of this opportunity. Even if she had n o money, Floyd was rich and could buy it for her!

She hurriedly ran over and covered her wound. "Uncle Floyd.."

Only then did Floyd notice her presence.

"Xandria, you’re here too. You girls have fun then..."

Floyd turned around and left, not noticing what was wrong with Xandria.

"Uncle Floyd, this fake tiger scratched my arm..."

Xandria stomped her feet as tears of grievance came out o f her eyes.

The other three girls sat there, dumbfounded. Lil Michael blinked his eyes in confusion.

Once Floyd heard this, he glanced at her raised arm and narrowed his eyes. "Where?"

Xandria put her arm to his eyes and pointed to the red mark.

"Here!"

"I can’t see it clearly because I have bad eyesight. Don’t worry, just put on some ointment and you’ll be fine. It’s a fake tiger, so you won’t even need a rabies vaccine!"

Floyd laughed heartily and waved at Nicole.

"Lil N, get someone to find some medicine for her."

Before Nicole had time to speak, Xandria was anxious and quickly said, "Uncle Floyd, can you please buy me one of these robot tigers?"

It was direct enough, so direct that one could not refuse!

Floyd was stunned for a moment before he refused her with a serious tone.

"Of course not! This tiger has a propensity for violence. This time, it’s just your arm. What if it scratches your face the next time?"

Xandria was dumbfounded by this excuse. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

The other girls just wanted to applaud Floyd.

Indeed, the older, the wiser.

Faced with such a little manipulative b”tch, Floyd sure coped well and did not fall for her tricks at all.

After Floyd left, Nicole looked at Xandria and smiled. "You can go downstairs and find our butler to get the ointment."

Xandria was still a guest after all, so Nicole still had to have basic manners.

If they had a fallout, it would ruin Floyd’s New Year mood.

Once Xandria left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and laughed in unison.

What a wonderful scene!

Lil Michael cheerfully hugged Tigger and gave it a big kiss. " Big Tiger, you can accompany me to wash my hands!"

Tigger was smug as it was praised by Lil Michael. The word "Big Tiger" made Tigger revel in its status as the king of all beasts.

"Okay!"

Lil Michael put the tiger on the ground. Tigger wagged its tail and strutted away arrogantly with its head held high.

Everyone saw this silly tiger and could not hold back their laughter.

Everyone adored the tiger. Only Molly showed her disdain. " This stupid tiger really changes its attitude fast!"

Read Chapter 678 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole laughed. "Tigger is our family treasure!"

Molly raised her eyebrows and sighed helplessly. "I saw that you guys bought a scarf worth tens of

thousands of dollars for it and that watch has to be millions, right? Tsk, tsk... this little traitor only resents the poor and loves the rich!"

Friendship among women came very suddenly. After that manipulative b*tch Xandria made such a scene, Julie and Molly naturally got a lot closer to each other.

The sky gradually dimmed, but the entire Stanton Mansion was lit up and decorated to be extra lively and beautiful.

Julie looked at the time and intended to video call someone. Nicole subconsciously swept a glance and saw Roman’s name, but no one answered.

She called once again, but it was not answered.

Julie’s face changed slightly.

Nicole pursed her lips. "Maybe he’s busy..."

Julie paused for a moment and smiled a little distractedly. ” He doesn’t have a show at this hour. He should be in the hotel."

Kai coldly grunted as he peeled an apple on the other side.

"Being in the hotel is not scary. What’s scary is being in the hotel with others..."

Nicole and Julie glared at him in unison.

Kai raised his eyebrows and bowed his head. He was just telling the truth...

They talked until midnight. The butler and the maid were busy taking care of the guests.

The buffet was set up in the dining hall, but some of the relatives were picky and wanted to have the food served to them.

The butler was old and tired from walking back and forth. Kai could not stand to watch him suffer and even helped to deliver food for him a few times.

Those people naturally dared not bother the young master of the Stanton family. Thus, they gradually served themselves.

Nicole and Julie were talking when they suddenly heard Kai shouting at the door. "Lil N, someone’s setting off fireworks!"

She looked over and saw that it was probably the butler who set it off.

Nicole walked over to Kai slowly, but Kai hurried Iy urged her.

"There’s your name on the fireworks! Is this someone’s confession to you?"

Nicole’s heart thumped and walked over in a few steps.

The sky was suddenly filled with huge fireworks that were specially customized into various shapes with a three- dimensional effect.

It was visually stunning.

The fireworks completely interrupted everyone’s interest in small talk. Everyone went out to see it.

Huge hyd range a fireworks exploded in the sky. It was so bright that it seemed to light up half the city.

Then, the small fireworks in the middle of those hydrangea fireworks gradually changed to spell out "Nicole". The surrounding ones did not disappear. Instead, they glittered like stars and transformed into a string of letters at the bottom that spelled out "Eric".

This time, no one had to wonder who prepared this " surprise".

Eric already wrote the answer in the sky.

Nicole was shocked to see Eric’s name and felt a lump in her throat.

The fireworks did not disappear, but once again transformed into a cartoon of Nicole’s face. It was so lifelike with a faint smile. In the dark sky, this portrait was extraordinarily conspicuous.

This fireworks display had many twists and turns. It used the latest technology to create the most shocking and beautiful picture during this New Year.

It was at this point that it suddenly started to snow heavily.

Paired with the fireworks, it looked colder and more beautiful.

Nicole’s heart was not amazed by the beauty of the huge fireworks, but she almost had a gag reflex from exasperation when she saw Eric’s name.

Eric always did inappropriate things at inappropriate times, yet he thought that he was amazing.

’Ugh...’

Read Chapter 679 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Everyone exclaimed in shock. "OMG! Nicole, did you get back together with Eric?"

"It’s too beautiful! Mr. Ferguson is so romantic!"

’this fireworks show isn’t cheap. Mr. Ferguson is confessing his love to you again."

"Mr. Ferguson is so attentive!"

A few younger girls looked on with envy and jealousy. "I wonder if Mr. Ferguson is coming. Nicole, say yes to him! This is so romantic..."

Kai looked at Nicole’s dull and cold face. He pursed his lips and could not help but protect Nicole.

"What are you guys cooing about? Nicole already received such confessions so many times. How can he expect to coax my sister with such a small trick like this? Nicole has seen the world!"

Kai’s disdain was like a bucket of cold water that was splashed on the heads of those that were cheering.

To them, this scene was enough to move them to tears, but to Nicole, this was very common.

The gap between them was too obvious.

Julie laughed. "Yeah, didn’t we prepare fireworks, too? Mr. Anderson, hurry up and set them off! If the snow gets heavier, it won’t look nice anymore."

It seemed that the only way was to use another fireworks show to cover the traces left by Eric Ferguson.

The butler understood and immediately went out to set off the fireworks.

Unexpectedly, he saw someone at the door.

Even after Nicole secretly cursed Eric, her heart could not stay calm, but she desperately suppressed her emotions.

Julie scrolled through social media and saw that everyone was talking about the fireworks. Those people who were unaware, all now knew about it.

"Lil N, Eric did this intentionally, right?"

Nicole looked at it, pursed her lips, then picked up her phone to call Dominic Young and calmly instructed him.

"Get the PR team ready. I don’t want tonight’s matter to get out."

There was no doubt that this play by Eric was not just for her, but to declare his sovereignty.

However, Nicole did not let him have his way. She wanted to douse this hype.

Nicole coldIy snorted and hung up the phone. Her phone rang again.

Looking at the caller ID, Nicole became infuriated. She went upstairs while answering the phone.

"Eric Ferguson! Have you been kicked in the head?!" She tried her best to lower her voice.

Eric did not expect Nicole to scold him as soon as he called her and felt a little aggrieved.

His voice was somewhat soft, mellow, magnetic, and charming.

"You saw it? Is it nice?"

"I didn’t see it. It’s not nice!" Nicole was anger.

Eric was silent for a few seconds. "Then I’ll have someone redo it again!"

Nicole’s eyebrows jumped. "You dare?!" ’Wasn’t that embarrassing enough?"

Eric laughed in a deep voice. "No, I’ll listen to you."

This compromise could really crush one’s heart and make it tremble viciously.

Nicole’s chest felt stuffy. Her tone was icy as she said, " Your fireworks show will only make more employees work overtime during the holidays. Eric Ferguson, don’t be a smart*ss.

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for more than ten seconds.

Only then did he let out a sigh.

"I didn’t mean it. I just wanted to make you happy. Happy New Year, Nicole!"

Nicole paused for a moment. "If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."

"Now that I think back on those four years, it seems like we’ve never spent the New Year together. I wasn’t even in the country during the New Year." Eric’s voice was low and raspy with an incomparable sense of remorse.

Nicole sneered. "How could you be in the country when you either went abroad on business or on vacation with friends just to avoid me?"

Eric would only leave her behind on important holidays, leaving her alone to face the rest of the Ferguson family

who was not friendly to her.

Quinn would complain that it was because of Nicole that her son did not come home for the New Year, and the other Ferguson family members would belittle her even more.

Nicole never wanted to recall all those forbearance and humility ever again.

She was really miserable back then.

The other end of the call was silent. Every second of listening to Nicole’s careless condemnation was tormenting for Eric.

Although it had been such a long time, every word she said was like a knife that cut out his heart little by little.

Eric was looking for every bit of pain at such a joyous and harmonious time.

It was as if that would alleviate his guilt.

When Nicole was impatient and wanted to hang up the phone, Eric suddenly spoke again. His voice was a little mute.

"Nicole, I want to see you."

Nicole was speechless. "But I don’t want to see you!" "I’m at your door. Can you let me in?"

Eric did not give Nicole the opportunity to refuse. He sat in the car and saw so many people in the courtyard under the snow. Fireworks rose in clusters and looked so beautiful and dazzling.

That liveliness did not belong to him.

Nicole paused in her footsteps and thought, ’What day is it? Isn’t the Ferguson family busy with their own celebration?’

She pursed her lips. "I won’t open the door. Hurry up and get lost."

Eric let out a light laugh and started the car again.

"Too late. Someone has already opened the gates..." Nicole stiffened. The call was already disconnected, so she hurriedly walked down the road.

She did not believe that the butler would let Eric in without her permission.

In the courtyard.

Kai carried Lil Michael on his shoulders. Everyone was talking and laughing not far away.

At the front entrance, the butler watched with difficulty as the Range Rover drove slowly inside.

After stalling for so long, the gates were opened by Xandria, who suddenly ran over.

Mr. Anderson thought, ’How could I explain this to Nicole?’

"No, you can’t open the door without orders from the Chairman and Ms. Stanton."

Xandria, who was running over excitedly, looked insouciant.

"Mr. Anderson, that man is Eric Ferguson. We can’t afford to mess with him. What place can’t he go to if he wants to?"

"But Ms. Stanton is not going to..." The butler patiently explained.

Xandria interrupted him impatiently.

"Enough. You’re just a butler, so don’t just do as you please. Mr. Ferguson may be here for business. Will you be able to afford any losses? Besides, he’s already at the

door. Nicole wouldn’t be so insensitive as to shut him out, right?"

Xandria then ran over and saw the man who had gotten out of the car. His black attire blended in with the darkness, as if he was a king who walked out from the darkness with a majestic aura.

She went over to Eric with an umbrella, shad ing the heavy snow for him.

Her face unconsciously reddened. "Mr. Ferguson, please come in..."

Eric tidied up his collar, nodded slightly, and looked at Xandria somewhat strangely. "Who are you?"

’The new maid?’ Eric thought.

Xandria hurriedly introduced herself. "I’m the Stanton family’s relative. Nicole is my cousin."

Eric nodded and smiled gently. "Hello."

Luckily, Eric did not ask Xandria if she was the new maid earlier.

Xandria did not expect Eric to smile at her. This was probably the closest she had been to Eric Ferguson, and this kind of admiration made her feel moved.

"The fireworks show just now was really beautiful! All of us saw it. You’re so attentive, Mr. Ferguson."

Eric walked in with a smile at the corner of his lips. Although he was annoyed with Nicole’s noisy cousin, he remained patient.

It was all for Nicole’s sake. "Thanks."

Floyd and the rest saw Eric. Floyd’s eyebrows knitted slightly in surprise.

"Mr. Ferguson, what brings you here?"

Floyd looked at the butler behind him, who looked torn as he glanced at Xandria. Mr. Anderson could not complain in front of so many people, so he could only lower his head in silence.

Eric had a faint smile. His temperament was reserved, noble, cold, and stern. At this time when he was loo king at Floyd, Eric bent at the waist and bowed in greeting.

“Happy New Year, Chairman Stanton. I came to pay my respects.”
