Chapter 236 Are You Telling Me What to Do?
Ian naturally did not dare to say anything. After all, they were his future brothers-in-law… He had to be
polite! Ian smiled. His attitude became very warm and bright.
“Don’t worry, this won’t happen again. I’ll keep my love for her hidden in the bottom of my heart…” Grant
frowned. His gaze was dangerously sharp.
Kai could not bear to listen further as goosebumps rose all over his skin. “Just shut up!” Nicole simply
turned around and left expressionlessly The band Kai invited was very good, and the live performance
mesmerized the crowd.
Many people were dancing and immersed in the music. Some people chatted in the small banquet hall to
the side. Hearing the sound, Nicole walked over.
Just as she reached the door, a person suddenly appeared and grabbed her wrist. Nicole was dragged
into the small banquet hall. “What are you doing here? Come here…” Nicole frowned.
It was Jade Smith. She clearly did not invite them, yet they were so shameless to come uninvited, Well,
Nicole should have expected it when she saw Lydia earlier.
This mother-daughter pair would never miss such a good opportunity to make connections with powerful
people. Sure enough, people Nicole did not like
would always try their best to annoy her somehow. Nicole struggled fruitlessly because she did not want
to make big movements.
They attracted the attention of other people. Jade pulled Nicole’s hand and looked at a few bosses from
listed companies in a friendly manner.
“Our Nicole is good-looking and capable. You must work together more in the future…” Those people
naturally had to respect Nicole’s reputation. They all came up to toast her.
Nicole took the opportunity to break away from Jade’s grip. She casually took a glass of red wine from
the waiter beside her and clinked it politely with theirs.
The bosses immediately finished the toast. Nicole only raised her glass in response, but she did not
drink. Jade refused to give up and continued to urge Nicole.
“Nicole, hurry up and drink. How can you be disrespectful to these bosses? You’re the President of
Stanton Corporation, so you can’t be childish! In the business world, you must drink when a toast is
offered to you.
You’re being very rude…” The several bosses exchanged glances, obviously stunned by Jade’s words.
With Nicole’s status, she was already showing them a lot of respect by letting them toast to her.
What did Jade mean by Nicole could not refuse to drink? Nicole’s eyes narrowed slightly as she cast a
sidelong glance at Jade.
Her voice was slightly cold. “Are you telling me what to do?” Jade froze. She never thought that Nicole
would be so disrespectful to an elder like her in front of so many people.
‘How dare she question me like this? I’m already willing to forget about the last incident, but Nicole is just
being too arrogant!’ She trembled in anger and suppressed her annoyance. Her words became odd.
“I’m doing it for your own good. After all, I’m your elder. What’s wrong with a family member giving you
some pointers?” Noah Stanton brought her to this event.
Jade was announcing her identity to everyone as the Second Madam of the Stanton family Not even
Nicole could look down on her! “Elder?” Nicole sneered. ‘How is Jade, my elder? She really thinks too
highly of herself…’ Jade was insulted by Nicole’s tone.
