The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel 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 all 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 silent. They already knew that the Stantons had invited so many reporters to this event a s 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?"
