Everyone looked at the daughter of the Stanton family who was loved by all, with envy in their eyes.
Grant smiled and approached Nicole.
Nicole turned her head and glanced at him. "Is this also one of the programs?"
'I didn’t remember this being part of the plan...'
Grand smiled faintly, his aura steady and reserved. "Of course not."
Then, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw a man walking down the stairs on the other side not far away. His tone lightened considerably. " But I think I know who it is..."
"Who?” Nicole asked him and followed his gaze.
She stiffened slightly.
Ian wore a tailor-made tuxedo. With the bewitching smile on his face, his charm was truly impossible to ignore.
He held a large bouquet of delicate roses in his hands.
What the roses meant was self-explanatory.
He walked towards Nicole and stared at her with such deep affection.
However, Nicole only stiffened.
It was already too late to run.
She instantly felt her scalp tingling.
The people around them started to talk in whispers.
Everything that happened tonight was truly sensational.
First, it was Eric Ferguson. Now, it was Second Young Master Carter. The surprises did not stop coming.
Not far away, Chloe Snyder saw this scene and looked terrifyingly pale.
Ian Carter had attracted everyone’s attention.
Nicole maintained her elegance and composure. She stood there as if nothing happened and watched as the man walked over to her.
Her eyes flickered.
Ian slowly stepped up to her. His expression was clearly a little nervous.
Everyone was watching with bated breaths.
This was obviously the set-up of a proposal!
"Is Second Young Master Carter going to propose?"
"What a surprise!"
"But isn't Eric Ferguson also interested in Nicole? Why else would he send her such expensive gifts?"
"Both men are excellent choices. I wonder who Nicole will choose."
When Ian arrived in front of her, Nicole could no longer hold back.
She could not stand there and watch as things got worse.
Everyone’s eyes were affixed to them.
With a light sweep of her eyes, Nicole saw Eric, who was standing in the crowd.
His cold and breathtaking eyes were staring straight a t them.
Nicole stiffened slightly but did not have the time to think about it.
She gently stepped forward and looked at Ian with a faint smile.
Ian raised the roses in his hands, but just as he was about to speak, Nicole interrupted him softly.
She looked at him with a vague smile and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
It was a part threat and part warning.
"If you dare to kneel, I'll break your knees!"
Ian instantly froze.
His body went cold.
The joy in his eyes disappeared in an instant and was replaced with a hint of gloom and dejection.
'Hmph! Looks like my guess was right... Ian's here to mess up my party!' Nicole thought.
"Second Young Master Carter...” A cool and trembling female voice suddenly came from the side.
It was Chloe Snyder, President of Snyder Corporation.
"Second Young Master Carter, aren't you going a little too far with your joke..."
