Nicole drove Kai's Maserati in a high-profile and weaved through the city.
She parked at the entrance of Carter Corporation and went upstairs smoothly without anyone stopping her.
Nicole opened Ian's office door to see a man and a woman, as well as Ian's mother.
She paused for a moment. Ian saw her and quickly pulled her over.
"Lil N, why’d you just arrive? Didn’t we agree to go for dinner? I've reserved a table!"
Nicole looked bewildered. 'Did we? Weren't we supposed to just go out together to let the reporter snap a photo of us on the streets? Now we have to eat dinner too?'
Ian winked at Nicole. The other woman sitting next to the man suddenly glared at Nicole indignantly.
"Ian, you're really with Nicole? You rejected me because you found a woman who’s even richer and more powerful than me?"
Before Adeline Zabel was divorced, she would see and hear about Second Young Master Carter at every gentry circle gathering. Ian Carter was flirtatious and handsome and was many times better than those fat and ugly trust fund kids.
Adeline had a long-standing crush on Ian and was obsessed with him. Thus, she rushed to get a divorce and instigated Terrence Zabel to seize power and force Ian’s hand in marriage.
Every step was very smooth.
Who knew that there was such an interference halfway through?
Nicole immediately understood the identity of the woman in front of her who looked to be in her thirties. It was Adeline Zabel.
Next to Adeline was Carter Corporation's shareholder, Terrence Zabel.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. 'Indeed, I do have money and power!'
Seeing Nicole, Terrence had some unnatural fear. He tugged his daughter's arm next to him.
"Don’t be rude."
With that, Terrence stood up, bowed slightly, and politely extended his hand. "Hello, Ms. Stanton. What a pleasure to meet you."
Someone who could stir up the storm in Carter Corporation was not a simple person.
Terrence was friends with Old Master Carter for many years, yet he still seized power without any regard. It was clear how bad his character was to be able to do this.
Nicole ignored Terrence's hand and smiled coldly.
"Mr. Zabel, although this is our first time meeting, I've heard a lot about you."
