Floyd Stanton hooked his lips and sneered. "Just in time. I was about to go meet them."
Nicole pulled on her father’s sleeve and was slightly worried. "Dad, it’s our company’s big day today, so don't make a huge scene with them. It's fine if people laugh at them, but it's not worth it if it affects us."
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Floyd Stanton straightened his clothes and walked out of the room.
At the same time, Nicole's friends, Yvette Quimbey and Julie Nixon, came into the room one after the other. "Hi, Uncle Floyd!"
Floyd nodded and looked at them both warmly. "Yvie, Jules, thanks for being such good friends to Nikki. I've prepared a lot of jewelry that you girls probably like. Remember to pick a few before leaving later!"
Yvette and Julie glanced at each other, then bowed gratefully. "Thanks, Uncle Floyd!”
Floyd left the room contented.
Yvette and Julie then went up to Nicole and happily jumped in circles around her. "Nikki! You finally don’t have to hide your identity anymore! After today, just wait and see the shockwaves you'll bring to the public!"
Nicole smiled with indifference in her eyes. "My identity is secondary. I just feel annoyed that all of this impacted my company."
Yvette stepped forward. “Do you know who we just saw?"
Julie raised her eyebrows. "You definitely won't be able to guess."
Nicole frowned. "Who?"
"The Fergusons actually brought that b*tch Wendy Quade with them!" Yvette was so angry that she broke into a cussing fit.
"Do you think that they thought you might be here and deliberately came to disgust you?"
Nicole hooked the corners of her lips coldly. "I really a m quite disgusted by them."
Julie pursed her lips. "The Fergusons came just to crush any possibility of you marrying into the Stanton family. Do you know what Ian just told me?"
Before the other two could make a guess, Julie continued, "Ian said that as long as you appear tonight, Old Master Ferguson has ordered the media to circulate rumors that you got kicked out of the elite circle and have no hope in ever marrying into a rich family again."
