Chapter 232 Don’t You Dare Kneel
Everyone looked at the daughter of the Stanton family who was loved by all, with envy in their eyes.
Grant smiled and approached Nicole.
Nicole turned her head and glanced at him. “Is this also one of the programs?” ‘I didn’t remember this
being part of the plan…’ Grand smiled faintly, his aura steady and reserved. “Of course not.” Then, his
eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw a man walking down the stairs on the other side not far away. His tone lightened considerably.
“But I think I know who it is…” )) “Who?” Nicole asked him and followed his gaze.
She stiffened slightly. Ian wore a tailor-made tuxedo. With the bewitching smile on his face, his charm
was truly impossible to ignore.
He held a large bouquet of delicate roses in his hands. What the roses meant was self-explanatory. He
walked towards Nicole and stared at her with such deep affection.
However, Nicole only stiffened. It was already too late to run. She instantly felt her scalp tingling.
The people around them started to talk in whispers.
Everything that happened tonight was truly sensational. First, it was Eric Ferguson. Now, it was Second
Young, Master Carter.
The surprises did not stop coming. Not far away, Chloe Snyder saw this scene and looked terrifyingly
pale. Ian Carter had attracted everyone’s attention.
Nicole maintained her elegance and composure. She stood there as if nothing happened and watched
as the man walked over to her.
Her eyes flickered. Ian slowly stepped up to her. His expression was clearly a little nervous. Everyone
was watching with bated breaths.
This was obviously the set-up of a proposal! “Is Second Young Master Carter going to propose?” “What a
surprise!” “But isn’t Eric Ferguson also interested in Nicole? Why else would he send her such expensive
gifts?” “Both men are excellent choices.
I wonder who Nicole will choose.” When Ian arrived in front of her, Nicole could no longer hold back. She
could not stand there and watch as things got worse.
Everyone’s eyes were affixed to them. With a light sweep of her eyes, Nicole saw Eric, who was standing
in the crowd. His cold and breathtaking eyes were staring straight at them.
Nicole stiffened slightly but did not have the time to think about it. She gently stepped forward and looked
at Ian with a faint smile.
Ian raised the roses in his hands, but just as he was about to speak, Nicole interrupted him softly. She
looked at him with a vague smile and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
It was a part threat and part warning. “If you dare to kneel, I’ll break your knees!” Ian instantly froze. His
body went cold. The joy in his eyes disappeared in an instant and was replaced with a hint of gloom and
dejection.
‘Hmph! Looks like my guess was right… Ian’s here to mess up my party!’ Nicole thought. “Second Young
Master Carter…” A cool and trembling female voice suddenly came from the side.
It was Chloe Snyder, President of Snyder Corporation. “Second Young Master Carter, aren’t you going a
little too far with your joke…” Chloe knew that since the beginning, Ian only took Nicole as his world.
At that moment, Chloe finally could not hold back. Chloe Snyder, who had always hidden her feelings,
finally lost her composure. It was truly surprising.
Ian was slightly stunned.
He did not notice Chloe at all. Her words fell on deaf ears, Ian pursed his lips and had no choice but to
speak slowly under everyone’s burning gaze, “Happy birthday, Nicole.
I wish you… All the best….”Kai could not help but laugh when he heard those words. ‘Hahahaha! All the
best?! Ian’s quite thorough in giving birthday wishes, huh?’ Grant shot a cold look over, and Kai quickly
shut his mouth.
Everyone slowly waited for what followed. However… Nothing else happened! Nicole accepted the
bouquet and smiled in satisfaction.
“Thank you, I like this gift very much.” Ian hung his head, hiding the disappointment in his eyes. Soon,
Kai drew everyone’s attention elsewhere. Nicole took the opportunity to grab lan’s sleeve and pulled him
away. She did not notice Chloe’s frustrated yet relieved eyes following them.
Nicole let go of Ian’s arm when they finally reached an empty room. “Ian Carter, what the hell were you
planning?!” The usually frivolous Ian Carter looked so sincere at this moment.
