After the Divorce, CEO Realizes He’s the Stand-In Lover

Chapter 167 Gratitude

Niki was the first to speak, her face filled with indescribable joy. “Aunt Mills, what did you say?”

Upon hearing the news, the worry on her face gradually faded away, leaving only immense delight.

Raising an eyebrow, Niki thought Natalie still had a bit of conscience, not standing by and watching

the Graham family meet their demise.

However… Her eyes flickered as a mischievous smile formed on her lips. Whatever Natalie did for

the Graham family, she gained nothing in return.

Julian would not marry Natalie just because of what she did, but Julian would still marry her!

Natalie’s plan to regain her position in the Graham family by authorizing Linda had backfired.

Niki turned her head to look at Julian, but his face displayed no signs of joy. Instead, there was a

hint of seriousness and dissatisfaction…?

Frowning, Niki wondered why Julian didn’t seem too pleased. But her frown lasted only a moment

as she composed herself.

The woman continued to smile. “Julian, aren’t you happy? With the authorization, Graham Group can finally overcome its difficulties!”

Julian remained silent.

An impatient voice rang out, “What does Graham Group’s situation have to do with you?”

“I…” Niki clutched her skirt, unable to articulate her thoughts clearly.

After all, she was going to marry into the Graham family. How could it not concern her?

But Niki also knew that Linda didn’t want her to marry into the Graham family… On this joyous occasion, she didn’t intend to stir up trouble or make Linda unhappy. She didn’t want any negative

consequences.

Seeing Niki’s hesitant and fidgety behavior, Linda’s displeasure became more apparent.

How could such a timid and fidgety attitude be worthy of Julian?

In her mind, Linda strongly resisted, choosing to ignore Niki altogether.

However, Niki wasn’t offended. She couldn’t contain her smile and secretly rejoiced that she hadn’t

left Graham Group at this moment.

Otherwise she would never be able to return.
