Nicole was stunned, after which she reached out and took the contract, opening it to read.




 She was also shocked that her father bought a house for her, as he didn’t even discuss it with her before making the purchase.




“Don’t pretend you don’t know, Nicole. The contract is right here; you can’t deny it!” Amelia pointed the finger at her and shouted.




“I’m not! Yes, Dad bought it for me, so what?

 You have a problem with that?” Nicole raised her eyebrow and asked.




“Your father’s money belongs to the whole family, and he also has to get permission from me and Amelia before buying you a house. Half of this house will belong to Amelia.” Wanda immediately fought for some privilege for her daughter.




Nicole found it ridiculous as she looked at Wanda. “This property is under my name, so how can I give half of it to your daughter?”




“Then I’ll ask Dad to buy a house for me too, or give me 8 million,” Amelia said haughtily.




“Go ahead and ask him, then! Why come to my office?” Nicole put on a haughty expression as she spoke.




“Nicole, I’m here to give you a warning. If you keep asking your dad to buy stuff and give you money behind my back, I’ll break off with him. You’ll be responsible for our divorce when that happens,” Wanda threatened.




Nicole smiled wryly. “If that’s so, remember to notify me when you get divorced. I’ll know when to find another woman for Dad, and I guarantee she’ll be better than you.”




“You,” Wanda was so mad she could blow up.




Amelia also had a sunken expression.

"Nicole, I'll make you lose your job right

now."




“What are you planning to do?” Nicole narrowed her eyes and asked.




"I'll tell everyone that you have an

illegitimate children, a triplets you had from being someone's mistress!" Amelia shouted,

threatening to ruin her reputation..




Nicole snorted. “Should I get a mic for you? So that you can say it louder?”




“You think I’m too scared to do that?” With that, Amelia turned around and opened the door, leaving. 




Wanda was satisfied with her daughter’s boldness, and she also wanted Nicole to lose this job.




In the main office, Amelia shouted at the top of her lungs, “I have some news for everyone! Nicole Chapman is a mistress! She destroyed someone else’s family and gave birth to a love child overseas! Be careful of her because she’s a shameless and cunning woman!”




Instantly, the employees in the office stood

up and looked toward Amelia, who was

shouting. One of them immediately asked,

"Really? Miss Chapman is someone's

mistress?"




“Of course, it’s real. Why would I lie? Also, she had been messing around five years ago, working at a club and selling herself for money… That was why my dad chased her out.” Amelia proceeded to bring up the events five years ago.




While Amelia talked animatedly, someone appeared behind her. In the next second, someone grabbed the young lady’s shoulder and landed a loud slap on her face. It was none other than Nicole because she had had enough of her sister’s nonsense for the past five years. 




Now, she couldn’t endure it anymore, especially when she heard Amelia calling her kids an illegitimate children, and that was when Nicole lost all rationality.




“Ah=” Amelia screamed and tried to hit her back, but Nicole dodged it just in time. She gripped Amelia's long hair and pinned it to the ground.




 When Wanda emerged from the office, the first thing she saw was her daughter getting hit, so she immediately blew up.




“Nicole, you b*tch! How dare you hit my daughter! Let go of her!”




Nicole hair was instantly grabbed as Wanda pulled all the stops to save her daughter. However, Nicole's grip on Amelia's hair increased along with the pain she herself felt.




“Ah! It hurts! Let go, Nicole-” Amelia let out a shriek of pain because Nicole's hand grabbed her hair in a death grip.




“Let go, you b*tch!” Wanda's heart ached for her daughter, so mad that she raised her arm and delivered a slap across Nicole's face.




Nicole endured the pain and relayed the slap onto Amelia's face. Amelia was pinned to the ground, kneeling, and she couldn’t get up or break free, putting her in a convenient position for Nicole to slap.







"Hit me once, and I'll hit her thrice. Try

me." Nicole might look terrible, but her

fearsome boldness made up for it..







Immediately, Wanda let go of Nicole, and the latter also saw Felicia bringing people over, so she let go of Amelia as well. 




She held a fistful of broken hair in her hands, and Amelia's swollen face was already pale in pain. Wanda pulled her daughter to her feet, ready for another brawl.




Felicia shouted, "Who are you people?! And

why are you causing a ruckus in our

company?".







Nicole tidied her messy hair, the red shape of a palm obvious on her pretty face. “Chase them out!” she said to Felicia.




“I am Nicole's stepmother, and I have a private business to settle with her,” Wanda barked.




“I don’t care who you are. This is a company, not the backyard of your house. If you refuse to leave, I’m calling the police.” Felicia had no regard for Wanda.




Wanda thought she couldn’t involve the police in this matter, so she pulled her daughter along as she said, “Let’s go, Amelia. We’ll continue this later.”




Nicole bit her red lip and let out a sigh as she watched the duo leave. As for the onlookers in the office, most of them couldn’t help but see Nicole in a new light. Despite her slender frame, she could actually put up a fight against the duo.




“What’s wrong with you, Nicole? How are people coming over so often to pick on you?” Felicia and Nicole were equally exasperated by the recent events, and the latter made a promise to her superior. “I’ll try my best not to bring personal matters to the company.”




Nicole returned to her office, and she was about to tie her hair up when her landline rang. She reached out and picked it up. “Hello.”




“Got into a fight again?” A man’s deep and upset voice came from over the phone.




Nicole was speechless. How did this news travel to him so fast? But then she remembered that there were many busybodies in this company.




“Good news. I won,” Nicole replied cheekily.




“And you still have the courage to brag. You’re a mother now; it’s unbecoming to fight all the time,” Drake Butler said in exasperation.




Nicole grinned, but the movement affected the wound on her face, causing her to hiss. “I’ll hang up now. My face hurts.”




She ended the call right away. Soon, Rey arrived at Nicole's office, bringing an ice pack for her.




 "President Butler asked me to deliver this. Please be more careful next time, Miss Chapman."




Nicole gave Rey a look but accepted the ice pack anyway. "Thank you, Rey."




"You should thank President Butler." Rey smiled a little before leaving..




Nicole held the ice pack to her face, and the pain subsided when she realized that the contract was still with her. She sighed, for she couldn’t believe that her father actually bought her a house. Therefore, she took her phone and dialed her father’s number.




"What's the matter, Nicole?"




"Dad, why didn't you tell me you bought a

house for me?"




"How did you know?"




“Wanda herself took the contract to my office. Dad, please don’t do this next time, in case she gets upset again.”Nicole still threw in a word of advice for her father.




“I’ve been feeling guilty about the past five years, so this is my compensation to you. You can move in next month.”




“Thanks, Dad.”




"I also want to give you and the kids a stable

home," Gerald Chapman said..




In the president’s office, Rey pulled up a recording of the CCTV in the main office and played it for Drake Butler. He stared at the girl rushing out on the screen, and as he heard her words, his eyebrows scrunched up tightly.




Nicole was a mistress, and her triplets was a

love child? She even sold herself for money

at a club five years ago? What?.




In the recording, Nicole stormed furiously and gave Amelia a slap. Then, she grabbed the latter by the hair and pinned Amelia to the ground. Immediately after that, another woman rushed out and grabbed Nicole's hair, slapping her. 




Then Nicole slapped the girl on the ground a few more times before Felicia appeared and resolved the incident.




He had to admit that this woman was a fierce fighter.




“Can you find out who fathered Nicole's kids?” Drake asked Rey.




“Our people overseas could only find hospital information about Miss Chapman giving birth to her kids. There wasn’t any info on the children’s father,” Rey reported.




Drake's gaze darkened. Could it be that this woman was really someone’s mistress, and she had escaped overseas to give birth to children she had to bring up on her own?And what of her selling herself at a club five years ago? Was she in dire need of money?
