Chapter 108 @RichBaby
Chapter 108 @RichBaby
Grant Stanton personally sent out the invitations for the anniversary of Stanton Corporation. Every
famous and influential person in the country was basically on the guestlist.
What was most shocking was that they had rejected all brand sponsorships for this anniversary gala.
They had also hired the top event planners to make sure that everything, from place settings, drinks,
and meals, was of the best standard. Everyone could see the degree of importance this anniversary
gala was to the Stantons.
After a few days, Nicole's online beratement was no longer as intense as before. From time to time,
there would be a hired keyboard warrior that would hurl some insults at her. What replaced Nicole's
scandal as the hottest topic was the search for @RichBaby, the mysterious rich woman from that live-
streamed shopping spree. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
In that live stream, @RichBaby bought luxury items worth $800 million without first asking for the price
o f anything. Thus, the identity of @RichBaby was hotly debated for a while.
Everyone still did not know anything about this mysterious person except the chat records from that
day’s live stream.
The netizens speculated that since @RichBaby had bought out the live-streamer's merchandise for
that session, which was worth $800 million, she would have to pick them up somehow. They just had to
pay close attention to the pick-up process to find out more about this @RichBaby.
Nicole happily watched the show online. She did not reveal herself or make a sound and let the crowd
run wild with speculations.
After all, Nicole was not in showbiz, so she did not have to expose all her information to the public.
Stanton Corporation’s anniversary gala was held in the largest banquet hall in the business district that
could accommodate a thousand people. It was a semiopen venue, and from the upper floors, one could
overlook much of the bustling city.
From there, they could see a river that ran through the north and south ends of the city, as well as a
few famous landmarks. The huge digital screens on those buildings were advertising space that was
usually billed by the second. That night, Stanton Corporation had bought out all those digital
signboards to place congratulatory text about their anniversary.
It was an expensive low-key display of wealth.
The businessmen, celebrities, and media who attended the event marveled at the hefty costs of this
gala. They all thought it astonishing that Stanton Corporation would celebrate a mere anniversary in
such a grand way.
Nicole arrived early at the venue's lounge. Grant Stanton was outside, while Floyd Stanton had to help
his daughter pick out the best clothes and jewelry. Everything must be perfect.
Even those who were accustomed to luxury brands were startled when they arrived at the venue
because these gowns were all unique haute couture tailor-made for Nicole. Several top international
designers discussed for a few days to come up with the concept and design of these dresses. All
thirteen of these dresses were stunning collectors' items, and this scene set a unique precedent in the
world.
"Ms. Stanton, which gown do you prefer for your first appearance?" The designer asked with a smile.
Nicole looked at the thirteen gowns in front of her that were all so gorgeous and exquisite that she
could not shift her gaze.
Before she could say anything, Floyd waved his hand and said, "Just wear whichever that's most
expensive!"
Nicole was speechless.
The designer spoke meekly, "Chairman Stanton, these dresses can no longer be valued in terms of
money..."
Nicole smiled and pointed to the light gray dropshoulder gown that looked simple, elegant, and noble. I
t was meticulously inlaid with hexagonal-cut diamonds and was beyond beautiful.
"This one?" The designer nodded approvingly. "Ms.
Stanton, you have a good eye! The first appearance should leave the deepest impression. If the dress
is too extravagant, it'll take away from the main character, so it won't seem appropriate. Although the
color of this dress is understated, it has a very chic design. Each diamond is carefully selected for its
clarity and the location of the inlay brings out the best of your figure. It'll show off your slender figure
and fair skin even more! With these heels, it's simply perfection!"
The person next to the designer came forward holding the pair of high heels, which were just as
expensive, exquisite, and flawless.
Floyd nodded repeatedly, but no one knew if he actually understood what the designer said. Anyway,
those were words of appraisal for Nicole, so he liked it!
"Where’s the jewelry? Where's the stuff I had someone buy from the European royal family?"
The person on the side hurriedly carried it over carefully with both hands.
"Chairman Stanton, here it is. It just got off the plane and is in perfect condition.”
Floyd swept a glance, nodded, and looked at his daughter. "Nikki Baby, see if you like it. If you don’t, I'll
get someone to change it. I bought you other jewelry too, but this is the most expensive one!"
Nicole laughed helplessly. She swept a glance at the jewelry and knew that it was very well preserved
by the collector. The diamond's clarity was dazzling. Fortunately, the design was not too fancy and
cumbersome. It was just a simple necklace in the shape of a lily, which was fitting for this dress.
"No, it's nice. This will do."
As soon as Nicole said this, Grant knocked on the door and came in. "Dad, the Fergusons are here."
