The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress 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 out of their family.

However, 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 reputation when Nicole told the world that Ingrid had stolen the “Daydream“ necklace to gamble. After Ingrid came back to the country, she was repeatedly humiliated by Nicole, so much so that Ingrid was almost ostracized by the gentry circle.

Ingrid wanted to regain a firm foothold among the high society ladies circle and find an opportunity to become the focus of the group again. As the Young Lady of the Ferguson family, Ingrid must always be 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.
