Floyd Stanton stood by the side with a cold face, not saying a word.
He was not in the mood to watch his brother's family affairs.
The most hateful thing was that they ruined his daughter's birthday party.
Thus, he had no intention of helping them no matter how viciously Nicole fought back.
They deserved it!
Jade and Lydia were guilty. If this carried on, it would only be detrimental to them.
They left with their tails between their legs.
Noah Stanton was also not in the mood to stay, so he left after saying a few words to Floyd.
The small episode did not cause that much of a storm.
Everyone soon tacitly changed the subject. Some people continued dancing, while others exchanged pleasantries.
Who would dare to whisper and joke about what just happened?
Nicole quietly sipped a glass of red wine. The wine stained her lips crimson, and her cold and aloof aura made her even more bright and beautiful.
When she turned around, she saw Floyd’s cold and gloomy face.
She walked over and shook his arm, coaxing him with a pampered smile.
"Don't be angry, Dad. I didn’t suffer. Why should you be angry with such people? They’re not worth it!"
Nicole's expression changed so quickly that everyone was surprised, but they felt more helpless and interested.
Her gentle and lovable look now made it seem as if the coldness from earlier was a deliberate act to scare people.
Anyone’s heart would soften when faced with such a beautiful and adorable young lady.
’’Noah's getting more and more muddled in the head. How could he bring them along today? He must've been bewitched."
Floyd's expression was clearly unpleasant after his good mood was ruined.
Nicole blinked and clung onto his arm like she was a koala.
"Uncle Noah has been duped for so many years. It's not something that just happened. Dad, your health is more important. Don't be so angry..."
"Alright, I won’t...”
Floyd was helpless by her actions and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.
Soon, he went back to greeting and laughing with the guests who came over to toast him.
When the party was over, Nicole was already a little tired.
After talking to Floyd, she went outside.
She drank a little wine tonight, so she wanted to take a walk and enjoy the night breeze.
Too many things happened tonight. They piled up on her chest and made her feel stuffy and heavy.
Eric’s kiss and Ian's bouquet of roses both upset her.
The lamps stretched her shadow long.
The night was dense, and the cool breeze blew her long hair.
Her footsteps were slightly heavy with her stilettos as she walked down the desolate road. Her figure looked so lonely.
The streetlights lit up the road, looking like a river of stars on the ground, stretching brilliantly for miles.
Shortly after walking down the road, a section ahead was dark.
The streetlights there were broken.
Nicole stood there and felt an extraordinary chill in the darkness.
She did not move because she seemed to hear a faint movement on the dark road next to her.
