Chapter 65

Manipulative B*tch
Nicole frankly admitted to it. She would
never hold on to someone else’s beloved
item for no reason if it were anyone else.
However, Nicole absolutely hated the
Fergusons and did not want them to live
comfortably. Thus, she deliberately
bought the emerald pipe to mess with
them.
She admitted to all of it since she was
not bothered to put up a friendly act in
front of the Fergusons.

“Ms. Ferguson, I’m not a kind and weak
person. I treat others how they treat me. D
o you recall how your family treated me
back then? I can’t pretend to have lost my
memory, can I?”

‘Do I look like such a generous and
forgiving person?’ Nicole thought.
Ingrid was shaking with anger. The words
she wanted to say were instantly stuck in
her throat. Nicole’s frank admission was
even more infuriating than a denial.
Old Master Ferguson glared at Ingrid, so
Ingrid held back from cursing at Nicole.



She took a deep breath, softened her
voice, and sobbed as she looked at
Nicole with big innocent eyes.

“Nicole, the past was all my fault… I was
too young and reckless. You’re such a
magnanimous person, so please just
forgive me. I sincerely apologize for

everything I’ve done. I’m really sorry… I’m
willing to do anything to get your
forgiveness. I just hope that you can
return Grandpa’s pipe to him. It’s all my
fault that got us into this mess. My

mother is grounded and Grandpa also punished me. If you still don’t feel relieved, you can slap me
twice…” Ingrid looked up at Nicole, but Nicole was unmoved and even looked at her with a smirk. For a
moment, Ingrid suddenly felt that she could not keep up this act and stood there stiffly. Nicole stared at
Ingrid like she was watching a play while she thought about what a manipulative b*tch Ingrid was for
putting up an innocent act.

Seeing no reaction from Nicole, Old Master Ferguson coughed and suppressed the gloom under his
eyes. He reluctantly said, “Nicole, I know that you’ve suffered a lot at our hands. Ingrid even took the
initiative to come over and apologize to you this time, so you can

mention whatever conditions you have.” ‘Apologize? I don’t feel that this is an apology. It was rather like
forceful moral kidnapping. How ridiculous!’ Nicole thought Nicole faintly swept her a glance. “I don’t



accept your apology, nor will I give you
the pipe.”
After all that, Nicole was still persistent.
Old Master Ferguson’s expression
changed slightly and could not suppress
the anger that accumulated in his chest.”
Nicole, what exactly do you want to do?”
“He finally can’t stand it anymore? Nicole
thought
“I’m not gonna do anything. Chairman
Ferguson, if there’s nothing else, I need to
get going.

”Nicole felt tired after dealing with them. Old Master Ferguson snorted coldly. His eyes had a sharpness
in them. “Don’t blame me for being cruel if you don’t take this chance that I’m offering.” “Oh?” Nicole
raised her eyebrows. “What are you planning to do?” Old Master Ferguson took out his phone.” I’m
curious… Does Chairman Stanton know that Grant is supporting a divorced woman? I still have some
relations with the Chairman. Do you think that if I tell

him your identity, you’ll still get to sit in
your position?”
His words were a blatant threat.
Nicole paused for a few seconds. Her
smile deepened as she extended her
hand. “Suit yourself.”

She just felt like laughing and thought, ‘H e thinks that I’ll be scared? Chairman Stanton is my father!
Old Master Ferguson’s gaze was cold. Seeing that Nicole still did not give in, he dialed the number.



Ingrid looked at Nicole smugly as if Nicole was facing impending death. She just stood on the side to
watch the drama unfold. Beep… After a few seconds, Floyd Stanton picked up with a leisurely voice.
“Chairman Ferguson, why are you in the mood to call me?” Old Master Ferguson grunted lightly and
said, “Chairman Stanton, I heard that you went to Europe for a vacation a few days

ago. You seem to be in a good mood…” “Yeah, I did. It’s nice to travel around now that I’m old. If
there’s nothing, I’m hanging up because I’m busy fishing right now…” Nicole raised her eyebrows. ‘Dad
hates the Fergusons, so why would he waste time on them?’ Old Master Ferguson changed the topic.”
Chairman Stanton, do you know that your son has gotten very close to a divorced woman recently?”

“Really? I’m not aware.”
