Once Quinn's words fell, Nicole's face stiffened for a moment. Nicole then burst out in laughter.
"What does it have to do with me if Eric is willing or not? It’s not like I'm going to agree.”
'Where did Quinn's confidence come from? Why should I pay attention to my private affairs just because of Eric's wishful thinking?! How bewildering and ridiculous is that?!'
Quinn was exasperated when she heard that.
"In a few days, Old Master Ferguson will personally propose a marriage alliance with your Stanton family. This marriage alliance will only strengthen both families. Where will you find another affluent family that can compare to our Ferguson family?"
Quinn already felt like they were making a big concession letting Nicole back into their family.
What right did Nicole have to be a snob?
Nicole was a divorced woman, so even if she had a good family background, any other gentry would be wary.
Why was Nicole still picking and choosing then?
Since Quinn had already offered Nicole an olive branch, Nicole should grab it.
Nicole’s smile faded and her eyes turned cold.
Her voice was clear and cold as she said, "I advise you not to make a fool of yourselves by coming to my door. Even if I have to marry a random person from the street, I still won’t choose your family! Don’t disgust m e!"
Quinn's face flushed red with anger. "You... Do you think that you can make that decision?! Eric saved you! If it wasn't for him, you would’ve been dead long ago!"
"So what?" Nicole looked at her indifferently. "So what if he did? If you dare, you can come and see if I can make that decision for myself...”
Nicole made her attitude clear and was blunt about it.
"Also, no one can tell me what to do with my private affairs. I won't give up on any one of my thirteen boyfriends." 1
Would the Ferguson family be so tolerant to put up with this for the sake of this marriage alliance?
Suddenly, Nicole felt so grateful to Yvette and Julie for throwing this party.
Since Nicole had already said whatever she could, there was nothing she could do if they insisted on coming to her door to make a fool of themselves.
"Hmph! Nicole, I didn't want to accept you, but Eric's bewitched by you! He sent Ingrid off to God-knows-where and even said that he must be with you! Fine, in the future, even if you kneel and beg me, don't even think about stepping into our front door!"
Quinn was so angry that her body shook.
