Ingrid Ferguson's face stiffened. She screamed and saw that a cup of cold water had been splashed on her face and body.

Nicole gently put down the decorative bottle at the sink and dusted her hands. Her gaze was calm as she said, "You asked for this."

"Nicole, how dare you..."

Ingrid was so angry that her face flushed red. She was shivering. The dress she wore was from Dior's off-the-rack collection. Although it was not as luxurious as Nicole's custom-made dress, it still had an eight -figure price tag. Many celebrities did not even qualify to look at it, but now it was ruined!

Nicole smirked. Her smile did not reach her eyes. "Do you really think that I'll put up with you like before? If you dare provoke me again, I'll teach you a lesson and settle both the new and old accounts together! "

Ingrid shuddered when she saw a penetrating coldness at the bottom of Nicole's eyes. She could not help but feel frightened.

However, she no longer wanted to think so much at this moment. She was the Young Lady of the Ferguson family and was revered everywhere she went. How could she be bullied like this at a banquet?

How was she going to get out later?

Her spare dress was far less expensive than this one.

Ingrid gritted her teeth and glared at Nicole. She was so infuriated that she was about to lose her mind. " Nicole, I won't let you get away with this! "

She lunged forward and raised her hand at Nicole. 'I'll show Nicole how powerful I am! '

Before the slap could land on Nicole's face, Nicole smirked slightly as if she was just waiting for Ingrid to make the first move. Nicole's eyes flickered and her body moved nimbly to the other side as she accurately clasped Ingrid's arm. She ruthlessly grabbed Ingrid's long wavy hair with her free hand and pushed Ingrid forward.

The running water was filling up the golden sink and was about to overflow. Ingrid plunged headlong into it, splashing out a lot of water.

Ingrid's groupie in the back exclaimed and looked extremely shocked.

Nicole coldly swept a glance over and the groupie was instantly silenced. She watched the scene in horror and did not dare to go forward.

Ingrid struggled violently, but Nicole did not forcefully resist. She just wanted to teach Ingrid a lesson, so she let go of Ingrid and took a step back. Not a single drop of water got onto Nicole's dress and she still looked as beautiful and seductive as ever.

However, Ingrid was incredibly wretched. Her hair and makeup were no longer presentable.

Ingrid leaned against the wall and gasped for air. A trace of shock and unfamiliarity flashed in her eyes.

She did not seem to know this side of Nicole, or perhaps she had never really understood this woman!

Ingrid's groupie immediately went forward to hold her. "Ingrid, a-are you okay?"

"Ms. Ferguson, I've already told you just now that I won't put up with you anymore. If you mess with me again, you'll pay the price! "

Nicole raised her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ears, then unhurriedly lifted her eyelids. Her intimidating gaze landed on Ingrid, whose face was pale. Ingrid looked like a wet dog, which made Nicole smile with satisfaction.

She pursed her lips and seemed to be mocking Ingrid, then turned on her heels and left nonchalantly.

Ingrid only dared to scream in exasperation after Nicole left.

Nicole was in a great mood because she gave what Ingrid deserved, but who would have thought that when she looked up, she saw Eric who had been there for God-knows-how-long.

She paused for a moment and wanted to walk away as if she did not see him, but he called out to her. " Nicole."

Eric stood there and watched as Nicole deliberately ignored himself. He was clearly extremely uncomfortable, but he had to endure it because he owed it to her.

Thus, when he heard what was happening in the women's restroom, he held back from going in to stop them.

The Ferguson family owed her much more than that.

Nicole stopped in her tracks and looked at him with raised eyebrows. "What's wrong, Mr. Ferguson?" Without waiting for Eric's reply, Nicole smirked and said, "Oh, by the way, Ms. Ferguson is inside, but you came too late. She's not presentable enough to come out and meet people right now."
