The Divorced Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 2228

Chapter 2228 The Special Guest

The butler was attentive enough to notice Nicole’s reaction and hastily pressed a few buttons on the elevator.

The outside of the elevator instantly turned into a desert.

There was even an oasis in the desert. Nicole could see the wind blowing up the sand and dust, and the oncoming heat created the illusion of a real desert. She was slightly startled by this, so much so that she forgot about her fear just now.

Nicole raised her eyebrows in shock. "So, we're not at the bottom of the sea?”

Even the scene where they were at the bottom of the sea turned out to be fake, but she could not tell the difference. She had to admit that she did not expect such advanced technology on this cruise ship.

However, she felt much better facing the desert.

The butler smiled and said, “We are at the bottom of the sea. We shot high- definition videos through a private submarine so that our guests can see scenes that can't be seen on the shore. It was arranged to prevent guests from getting bored when they take the elevator.”

Nicole smiled and was a little surprised.

"So, this desert scene is also live-streamed?”

The butler smiled and nodded humbly.

"Yes, but since the distance is too far, there may be a slight delay of more than ten seconds. But rest assured that it’s real footage. Oh, the scene of the galaxy was shot on a communication satellite sponsored by Mr. Shaw.”

As they spoke, the elevator had already arrived.

The long red carpet was laid out to the majestic banquet hall.

It was a little quieter inside, but the sound of the live orchestra could be heard. It was performed at the best angle, but that was not the main point.

The butler led Nicole inside, and almost everyone had arrived.

It was not exactly a lively scene, but out of habit, these business people greeted each other as if they were close to one another.

The butler retreated tactfully.

As soon as Nicole walked over, many people greeted her with a smile.

"Ms. Stanton, I've admired you for a long time!” "Ms. Stanton, it’s a great honor to meet you...”

Although Nicole had never met them before, she still knew of these people.

She greeted them politely and exchanged pleasantries with everyone.

There were a few people who were not only famous in Mediania but also abroad. They often appeared on the Forbes list and make the headlines of major magazines. They were regarded as the best in the industry.

There were bigwigs from the technology industry, the oil industry, and the investment world.

The background of the host was the most lackluster among this group of people.

Sebastian Shaw, the boss of Myriad Group, was from Mediania. However, he had always been developing in Europe and had been committed to the research of new technologies.

Myriad Group was quite well-known in the industry.

However, it was obvious that Sebastian came prepared since he was able to invite so many bigwigs in different industries to appear at the same time.

Sebastian was in his early forties. He looked calm and dignified, and his neat suit made him look like a scholar. He was impeccable when he spoke.

However, in the next second, an unexpected person came in behind Nicole.

It was Eric Ferguson.

Nicole did not want to show her disdain for him in front of everyone, so she just smiled faintly and pretended that he was a stranger.

Eric did not tell her that he would come too.

Instead, he advised her not to come.

Was it because Eric had his eyes on Sebastian's project?

Did he ask her to stay on the shore just so he could reduce one competitor?

Nicole thought to herself as her eyes darkened.

This was something that Eric was capable of.

However, where did he get his invitation?

Nicole swept her gaze around the banquet hall and did not see another woman. Michael's aunt did not come. Did Eric take the invitation from her?

How was Eric connected to Michael’s aunt?

However, it was no use in thinking so much at this moment. Nicole could only go back and investigate it later.

Eric wore a suit and black trousers as usual. He exuded a cold and strong vibe which attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared in the hall.
