Nicole was slightly surprised when she heard these words.
This was the second time she had heard this warning.
The first time, it was from Quinn before she got married to Eric Ferguson.
Unexpectedly, this time, it was from Ian’s mother, Gillian...
Nicole looked back at Gillian's calm and expressionless face.
It felt like all the warmth and familiarity from before were merely a disguise.
Nicole’s heart turned cold. She had always treated Gillian as a respected elder.
She did not expect this to happen.
Nicole pulled the corners of her lips.
"Mrs. Carter, are you warning me?”
"It's fine if you want to think of it that way, Nicole. Ian had a hard time taking over the company, but because of you, he threw away fifty billion just to buy that land. He not only got beaten up by his grandfather, but he was almost kicked out of the board too. Did you know that?"
Nicole was stunned. She thought that she had made a
timely save.
She did not expect Ian to face so much trouble.
Gillian frowned. "Nicole, if you'd have been together at first, I wouldn’t have objected to you both. But now, you just got divorced and your scandals are all over the place. Out of so many people pursuing you, Ian is the most unsuitable one among them, don't you think?"
Nicole laughed in exasperation.
Gillian should have just outrightly scolded her for not being good enough for her precious son Ian.
Why such a big roundabout?
Nicole swept a glance at Chloe Snyder, who was in the kitchen.
Then, she looked at Ian, who was standing far away from Chloe looking very impatient.
A thought flashed through her mind.
Nicole seemed to understand something. 'She's kicking me out?'
"It seems that you’ve already chosen a good marriage partner for Ian? Is that why you want to remove any obstacles that might disturb the marriage alliance?"
Gillian did not deny what Nicole said. "Ms. Snyder is very capable. She’s gentle and presentable. Most importantly, she has a clean background. She's the most suitable candidate as my daughter-in-law."
Nicole hooked the coiner of her lips into a devilish and disdainful smile.
She looked down at Gillian, who was sitting there with an elegant posture and a superficial smile.
"Ian and I are indeed incompatible with each other. After all, a mother's IQ is hereditary."
Gillian was stunned. She looked very angry. "Nicole, you're so rude!"
Nicole smirked and narrowed her eyes.
She still maintained a decent and courteous smile.
