At the same time, the photos from Stanton Corporation's anniversary gala had already set off shocking waves on the internet.
The picture of Nicole on the digital signboard atop the Pearl Tower across the river was the most direct way t o announce her identity.
[OMG, this is legendary! A billionaire heiress hides her own identity to marry a guy below her status and reveals herself to be the richest young woman after their divorce?! This plot is straight out of a TV show!]
[The Ferguson family is horrendous! They think Nicole’s easy to bully and even hired keyboard warriors to insult her... Don't they feel ashamed for treating a lady like that?]
[Nicole's comeback is awesome!]
[Yasss kween! Nicole, you rock! I love you 3000 <3]
[I passed by a dozen intersections earlier and saw Nicole's picture plastered on every building. She hands down beat all those actresses that wanted to fight for those advertising spaces. I’m witnessing history in the making!]
[Nicole is @RichBaby?! Her nickname is too straightforward, right? Why is she so cute?!]
Inside the banquet hall, Nicole's act of squandering $ 800 million did not cause the crowd’s antipathy. Instead, they all felt touched that Nicole truly cared for every employee in her company.
After everyone marveled at her generosity, Nicole carelessly swept her gaze to Old Master Ferguson with a light mockery in her pretty eyes.
"Besides that, when I was at a charity auction earlier this month, I bought an emerald pipe from Mrs.
Ferguson..."
Nicole paused and watched as Old Master Ferguson's expression turned into panic, then continued to speak slowly, "Chairman Ferguson, I've decided..."
"Wait!" Old Master Ferguson could not bear it any longer and stepped forward, interrupting her words. H e could tolerate that Nicole hid her identity, deceived them, and made his family a laughing stock, but the emerald pipe absolutely could not fall into the hands o f others!
"Nicole, you know that the emerald pipe is my family heirloom. Now, I'm willing to buy it back from you at ten times the price. Consider the extra money as compensation for you from our family."
The first to speak always had the upper hand. Old Master Ferguson thought that Nicole was still a little too inexperienced to go up against an old-timer like him.
Nicole spent $30 million to buy that emerald pipe.
