Chapter 113

The venue was brightly lit, extremely
luxurious, and high-profile. Soon, the
music stopped abruptly as Floyd Stanton
walked up onto the stage.
Everyone gathered around the stage,
knowing that the main event of this gala
was about to begin.
Although Grant Stanton was the actual
person in charge of Stanton Corporation
and had the prestige and reputation
comparable to Eric Ferguson, at this time,
he did not have the slightest intention to
take the spotlight away from his father.
Instead, he only stood on the side humbly
and respectfully as he watched his father
speak.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for
coming to Stanton Corporation’s

anniversary gala. Thanks to your support
011 these years, we’ve had such smooth
sailing thus far. This toast is for
everyone!”
Floyd Stanton raised his glass, to which
everyone responded with the same action,
then downed the wine in it.
Everyone knew that it was not because of



everyone’s support that Stanton
Corporation had such an unstoppable
growth, but because of the Stantons’
ability.

Everyone wanted to be in their
good graces and kept singing praises
about them.

Not long after, Grant personally went
forward to fill up his father’s empty wine
glass and stood back to his original
position.
Floyd smiled, nodded at Grant, then
looked at the crowd again.
“There is one thing that I need to clarify
here today. I believe that all of you have
been very curious about a woman who’s
closely related to my company and whose
rumors have been circulating the internet
recently, Nicole…”

The guests fell silen . They already knew that the Stantons had invited so many reporters to this event as
a good opportunity to clarify the scandal. Old Master Ferguson seemed to look so understanding and
smug. ‘How could Floyd Stanton allow his son to marry a divorced woman? That woman doesn’t know
any better… This is her downfall…”

Quinn and Ingrid glanced at each other. Both of them guessed how miserable Nicole would be after this.
“Why didn’t that woman come out?” Ingrid swept a glance but did not see that woman’s figure anywhere



and thought, ‘ Wasn’t she just there just now?’

Quinn laughed and looked unconcerned. ” She probably got kicked out. The Stantons aren’t stupid. Why
would they keep a ticking time bomb around?” Floyd Stanton affixed his gaze to the Fergusons as he
said in a loud and clear

voice. “Nicole has signed a huge deal with
J&L Corporation during her tenure as Vice
President of Stanton Corporation. Her
ability is undoubted, but her relationship





with Grant isn’t what everyone imagined i t to be…” The venue was incredibly quiet, so Floyd’s voice
echoed in everyone’s ears. • “I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce Nicole to everyone here.” Old
Master Ferguson frowned and raised his head. Even Eric was slightly puzzled. The trace of doubt that
had never dissipated at the bottom of his heart suddenly became heavier at this moment.

Floyd looked at the corridor on the left and smiled tenderly as he beckoned to her. “Come, Nicole. Come
on over…” Everyone watched in shock as the door on G. the left opened slowly. The light from the
corridor came through and the woman who gradually walked over was enveloped in a soft sheath of
light. Nicole’s makeup was exquisite and impeccable. Her long and wavy hair draped behind her ears,
making her look like an effortless beauty.

She wore a world-class collector’s series
light gray diamond-inlaid dress that





outlined her slender waist perfectly. Iter dazzling pink diamond necklace( e that shone so brightly under
the spotlight was visibly expensive. It even elevated her temperament to the next level. Nicole walked
onto the stage calmly with a bright and confident gaze. The corners of her lips hooked up into a faint arc
and made her seem so aloof and glamorous. She gently lifted the hem of her gown, showing off her
exquisite stilettos as she walked up in style.

Finally, she stood beside Floyd Stanton without the slightest fear or nervousness. She looked so prim
and proper, like a completely different person from the rumors on the internet. Countless cameras started
flashing the moment Nicole appeared on stage. They were afraid to miss a single shot of such
breathtaking beauty! The crowd audibly gasped and secretly speculated why Nicole would appear in
such a grand fashion. Most importantly, this woman’s arrival was so bright and eye-catching that no one
could look away from her!



Floyd smiled and was very satisfied to see his daughter shining so brightly in the spotlight. This was the
only way Nicole should make her formal debut in the gentry circle. After a few seconds of silence, Floyd
looked at the crowd below and said in a resounding voice, “Her last name is Stanton, the same Stanton
as Stanton Corporation and Floyd Stanton. She’s the apple of my eye and my precious darling daughter,
Nicole Stanton!”
