The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 428 Hello, Father-In-Law

Before Eric went to bed, he gave Toto an ultimatum. Eric wanted his relationship with Nicole to improve within a short period, so Toto stayed up all night and finally came up with a good idea. In the blink of an eye, it was Floyd Stanton's birthday.

Nicole did not bring much with her when she moved to Imperial Gardens, so she did not bring anything with her when she left.

She happily stood at the door and waved goodbye to Eric.

'Finally! I don't have to see him for a while...'

Nicole was so excited that she could spin in circles.

Eric watched her leave with gentle eyes. After she was gone, his eyes became sharp and cold as he glared at Toto.

"Are you ready?"

Toto nodded with confidence. "Of course! Don't worry. This time, as long as you get along with your future father-in-law, you'll definitely get into the Stanton family's inner circle. By then, it won't be far-fetched that you'll become one big happy family!"

Eric's eyebrows furrowed on his expressionless face, but the corners of his lips curled slightly. He looked much more relaxed.

Toto continued, "Such an outstanding and unique person like you is simply a rare gem! Chairman Stanton will certainly understand your sincerity. Most rich people only have money, but you're not just rich. You're so handsome and filial, and simply perfect in every way!"

"Shut up," Eric spoke indifferently.

"Okay." Toto turned around and went to make preparations.

Floyd Stanton's birthday party was a low-key yet luxurious reception on a cruise ship by the bay. They invited some close friends, relatives, and business partners.

Grant and Kai were busy greeting the guests. Maverick also made a rare appearance.

Nicole did not forget her promise to Molly Stewart and invited her to the party. Molly was extremely excited to attend.

Floyd and Maverick had not seen each other for some time, so they were catching up when they saw Nicole dragging Molly in while they were talking and laughing. Maverick was slightly stunned to see Molly. Molly did not have Nicole's perfect features and distinguished aura. Instead, Molly was just a simple girl that had a college student youthfulness and a calm and confident temperament.

As soon as Molly saw Maverick, she ran over happily and chatted with him.

Nicole and Floyd went around to exchange pleasantries with other guests. Nicole held a glass of wine with a faint and decent smile plastered on her face.

"Chairman Stanton, Ms. Stanton is really capable to be able to land the Clayton Sloan's project. It makes the rest of us so envious..."

Nicole lowered her eyes and smiled. "That's just good luck."

Floyd added, "Of course, but mainly ability..."

The guest said, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Nicole looked at her father and helplessly pursed her lips. She laughed lightly and looked so vibrant and confident.

Not far away, the man who just came on-board saw Nicole's smile and was slightly stunned.

Keith Ludwig, who followed behind, was about to speak when he saw Eric's awestruck face.

He paused for a moment and asked, "Whatchu lookin' at?"

Following Eric's line of sight, Keith saw Nicole and Floyd laughing with another person in front of them.

Eric withdrew his gaze and said, "This cruise ship is quite nice..."

Keith thought, 'Yeah, right... Who is he fooling?'

When Nicole saw Eric on deck, her smile froze.

"Why is he here?"

Floyd replied, "I invited him."

Keith pushed Eric's wheelchair over. Although Eric was sitting in a wheelchair, his powerful aura was not diminished. No one dared to comment about his injury.

He had broad shoulders, long legs, and dignified temperament.

"Happy birthday, Chairman Stanton."

Floyd nodded and looked at him with a much softer gaze than before.

"Thank you. How are you recovering?"

After all, Eric was only injured because of Nicole.

Eric's eyes shifted to Nicole. He said with a smile," Nicole has taken good care of me. Thanks for your concern, Chairman Stanton."

Nicole rolled her eyes. What a faker!'
