The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss

Chapter 55

The scene was in an uproar as everyone’s
eyes were focused on Nicole.
Roman looked at Nicole in confusion.”
What do you want this for?”
Nicole hooked her lips. “It looks pretty
nice, don’t you think?”
“I don’t think so.”
‘It looks like an ordinary tobacco pipe…
what’s so nice about it?’
Nicole noticed Quinn and Ingrid’s gaze on
her, so she smiled faintly and did not
avoid eye contact with them.
The Ferguson mother-daughter pair were
obviously startled. They knew that Nicole
recognized this emerald pipe.

Back then, Quinn had asked Nicole to
clean the memorial hall alone one night.
Quinn deliberately took out the pipe from
the safe and placed it on a high shelf as
she hoped that Nicole would”
accidentally” bump into the shelf and
break the emerald pipe. If that happened,
Old Master Ferguson would certainly kick

Nicole was smart enough not to touch it.
If not for the surveillance camera in the
memorial hall, Quinn would have broken it
herself and falsely blamed it on Nicole.
Unfortunately, her plan failed because Old
Master Ferguson valued this pipe more
than his own life!
Thus, Quinn never found the opportunity
again
This time, the Ferguson mother-daughter
pair stole the emerald pipe and put it out for auction because Ingrid had lost her

among the high society ladies circle and
find an opportunity to become the focus o
f the group again. As the Young Lady of
the Ferguson family, Ingrid must always b
e the center of attention.
This charity auction banquet was a good
opportunity to help Ingrid redeem her
image and maintain her persona as a
high-society lady”. This was the most
suitable occasion.
Thus, Ingrid begged her mother to

it for fear of Old Master Ferguson. Those who did not know about it would not bid for it either, so her plan was perfect. She would take it out and bid it back herself as a show to gain back her reputation. However, Ingrid and Quinn never thought that they would meet Nicole here… Quinn was anxious as Nicole was clearly not holding back on her bidding price. Their limit was only $10 million because the two of them had no power in the Ferguson family. They only got a monthly allowance and

“$10 million going once!” The host’s eyes
lit up as he shouted.
Ingrid nervously tugged at Quinn’s
clothes and whispered something
Quinn also pretended to be calm and
turned back to glare at Nicole fiercely as
a warning.
Nicole raised her eyebrows, smiled

but there was no sound. They did not dare to compete with Mrs. Ferguson to steal the limelight, nor did they want to waste money on an emerald pipe that they could not get their hands o n. The host’s eyes swept across the hall and saw that Quinn had raised her bidding paddle. “$11
