Clayton sent Nicole back to Stanton Corporation’s office.Nicole was catching up with the postponed meeting.J&L Corporation’s project had reached the closing stage, and there was a major breakthrough.Clayton also started to get busy with a series of procedures for their exhibition in Europe.Tucker, whom Nicole had placed in J&L Corporation, was transferred back to Stanton Corporation and temporarily assumed the role as an assistant in the finance department.Logan walked in with some documents. “President, Mr. Lincoln Zelman passed over the latest project progress. Everything went well, but the Zico Company’s hired killer’s daughter, who had leukemia, just passed away yesterday.”Nicole was silent for a few seconds.She sighed.“Forget it, let’s turn the page on this matter.”Logan nodded.Lincoln Zelman’s power would not be around for long. The anti-criminal inspection team had started to investigate Lincoln’s matter, and there would be results soon.Nicole was busy all
Nicole was too angry to be rational.“So, they’re just going to let it be? Everyone’s scolding Julie now. What did she do wrong?”Julie only abandoned a vain Roman and made Roman taste his own bitter fruit.Why should Julie have to face all this?Dominic sighed.“I understand, but it has already happened. Even if we withdraw it, it’ll be too late. The most important thing is to stop that guy from talking. Your third brother has gone out to find him. I’m now worried if someone will get hurt…”Nicole’s expression changed dramatically. She immediately hung up the phone and ran out."Logan, if there’s anything, get my big brother to deal with it. Don’t contact me if it’s not urgent.”Logan replied, “Understood.”He knew that Julie was Nicole’s best friend, so at this time, Nicole would never stay out of it.Nicole called Kai like crazy, but no one answered.With Kai’s temper, he could really beat Roman to death!She asked Dominic.“Do you know where Roman is now? Where did my
Not to mention that no one would be able to step forward to clarify for Julie, Roman’s death might even be blamed on Julie.When the time comes, Julie would not be able to rid herself of those slanderous allegations.Kai’s eyebrows twitched slightly. His Adam’s apple bobbed.He said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll kill him to avenge her!”Roman’s body trembled violently.When he heard this, Roman cowered in the corner in fear.Nicole tugged on Kai’s arm and stared at his face.“There’s no rush for that. He’ll get his comeuppance eventually. Don’t get your hands dirty. I’ll keep watch here and wait for someone to come and take him away. You should go look for Julie!”When Kai heard Julie’s name, a hint of darkness crossed his eyes.He could not bear to see this happen to Julie and felt heartbroken.Kai did not want to leave because he did not want to let the son of a b*tch Roman off the hook so simply.Nicole tugged on Kai’s arm. “Go! Don’t let Julie do something stupid!”Kai’s bod
Nicole closed her eyes.No wonder, when Julie broke up with Roman, she did not even know that he had her nudes.Roman was just a monster in a human body. No one expected him to save this trick up his sleeve.“I was afraid that she wouldn’t want me, so I wanted to have something over her. I warned her about it when I asked her for money, but she didn’t listen or believe me... Hahaha…”Roman grinned, not sure if he wanted to cry or laugh.Nicole gritted her teeth. She really used a lot of effort to hold back her anger so as not to kill him.“You cheated on Julie with a top executive for a runway show abroad. To please that woman, you even learned to do drugs, yet you still have the cheek to come back to Julie for her to clean up your mess?!”Julie helped Roman to pay the penalty for his contract termination, which was already very nice of her.However, Roman was not satisfied and wanted more, so he harassed Julie again and again.Since harassment did not work, he began to blackm
Nicole took a deep breath and sent a copy of the video she had to Julie.She then handed it over to Kai.Kai watched it in silence. His face became even gloomier and more unsightly.“I’ve handed Roman over to the police. Even the best PR team won’t be able to handle the situation online now, so we can only rely on the police to clarify after investigating this matter clearly. At this time, we shouldn’t even make a sound.”Nicole pursed her lips.If they spoke up at this time, it would only increase Julie’s burden.It would not work.The living room was silent and cold.Suddenly, the maid outside shouted.“Ah– Ms. Nixon jumped off the building!”Kai suddenly rushed out like a gust of wind.Nicole and Yvette also ran out.Julie, who they had not seen for a day and who had not eaten anything all day, was lying on the ground with blood flowing out from her head.This image was incredibly heartbreaking to witness.Yvette was already crying.Kai went over and held Julie carefu
“Ms. Stanton, you’re good friends with Ms. Nixon. Do you have anything you want to say for her?”“May I ask if it’s the norm in this circle for lady bosses to demand sex from their male subordinates?”“Did Ms. Nixon jump off the building in shame? Is her life in danger now?”“Why hasn’t Ms. Nixon come out to explain for so long?”“Roman accused Ms. Nixon of deliberately setting him up. Is that true?”“Are Ms. Nixon’s nudes real?”......Nicole took a deep breath. Her face was sullen and cold. Her voice was clear and stern.“Everyone, today’s events are truly unfortunate. I feel that all of you should at least give the patient a chance to breathe at the hospital. You all were probably the first to see how Julie jumped off the building, but all you care about are these scandals. There’s no doubt that Roman is a drug addict. The facts will prove whether or not his words are believable.”“Ms. Stanton, do you mean that Ms. Nixon will put out evidence?”A reporter pursued the quest
After thanking the doctor, Nicole and Yvette followed.The intensive care unit only allowed one visitor at a time.Of course, Kai did not hesitate to get changed and went into the ICU ward.The police were very efficient.They only took one night to investigate. In the early hours of the next day, the latest investigation results were released.They very carefully explained the situation with the timeline from the beginning of Roman and Julie’s relationship. Roman drugged Julie and secretly photographed her naked.Then, Roman cheated on her and became a drug addict. That was why Julie proposed a breakup.Roman had no money, so Julie lent him some.When Julie learned that Roman used the money to buy more drugs, she refused to lend him money again.After Roman repeatedly failed to ask for money, he got the idea to post Julie’s nudes. Thus, he made up a lie and uploaded the photos.His purpose was just to get money.The police’s statement was very official without the slightest
“You also don’t like Nicole, right? Look at her. She’s so high and mighty, wearing branded clothes and sitting in luxury cars all day long. It’s like she’s afraid that people won’t know that her family is a parvenu. So what if she’s rich? Julie, don’t you think so?”Julie raised her eyes and stood up. Her tone was indifferent.“Can you guys stop being so blatantly jealous?”At that time, Nicole was at the door.From then on, Nicole liked to invite Julie to everything she did. Julie came out of her isolation and became just like them.As for that classmate who badmouthed Nicole, Nicole very arrogantly got the teacher to transfer her out.These memories seemed so recent.Nicole thought that Julie would always be so strong.She closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks.The sky brightened slightly.The sunlight pierced through the window and shone on their faces.The smell of disinfectant made them dizzy.Through the glass, they could see that Kai had not slept all nig
Chatty and Fischer had been apart for so long, so they cried when they finally hugged.Fischer could not bear to see her cry.When her sobbing eased a little, Fischer lowered his head to wipe her tears and gently coaxed her not to cry.Chatty took a deep breath and calmed herself down as soon as possible.She had so many questions for him.Seeing that her eyes were swollen from crying, Fischer pinched her cheek and said with a smile, “Do you still want to drink coffee? If you don’t want this, we can go to my place, and I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”Chatty nodded.Fischer let down his hand and naturally held Chatty’s hand. He turned around to pick up her bag and pushed the door open.The waiter at the back was envious that they were such a perfect match.Chatty saw that he was holding her hand and felt as if an electric current passed through her heart.When they were young, Fischer often held her hand. They were inseparable, and he liked her the most.Was he still the same
After Chatty left, Clayton sighed miserably for several days, and Nicole was speechless when she saw this.Life in school was not so boring.Although Chatty had been spoiled since childhood, she was not arrogant or insufferable.Chatty was bubbly, outgoing, and clever, so she was very popular.From time to time, she invited everyone to party in her big villa. Thus, everyone loved her even more.Chatty also enjoyed her time alone.She would go for a walk along the Seine and feed the pigeons in the sunset...However, she always felt that someone was watching her whenever she was alone.Even so, she did not think much about it. After all, her father arranged so many security personnel for her.Maybe that stare was from a bodyguard.Chatty walked alone in the sunset with an ice cream in hand and a limited-edition bag that her mom bought for her. Chatty was planning to send this bag back to Mediania.She was a young and beautiful lady with stunning features, so she was a sight to
Clayton talked to Chatty about studying abroad.Chatty agreed without hesitation.He asked her where she wanted to go, to which she replied that she was fine with anywhere except France.Clayton pondered for a while before asking, “Are you reluctant about France because of Fischer?”Chatty’s eyes turned red.“I don’t remember him at all. Daddy, don’t mention him!”She felt aggrieved.Chatty grew up with him, and he suddenly disappeared one day.It felt like a dream.That person was no longer behind her. Fischer was no longer around.Chatty missed him very much, but Fischer did not even say goodbye.Clayton touched her head and looked at his daughter in distress.“Chatty, now that you’ve grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave. He also couldn’t contact you, so if you see him in the future, don’t blame him.”Chatty stubbornly turned her head away, pretending not to care.She was the apple of Clayton’s eye, so when had she ever suffered any grievanc
In the blink of an eye, Chatty grew up.As soon as she graduated from high school, she found a boyfriend.She was also happy to go home and share the good news with Nicole.Nicole did not think much of it. She thought that her daughter should enjoy the feeling of sweet and youthful love.Thus, Nicole asked Chatty about her feelings and did not think she was too serious in a relationship.Nicole felt that she could turn a blind eye to it.However, when Clayton found out, he could not sleep all night.Clayton intended to have a good talk with his daughter.Chatty did not think much of it.“Everyone in my class has a boyfriend. If I didn’t have one, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while I’m young. Otherwise, it won’t be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isn’t perfect!”Clayton tried to persuade her. “You’re still young. If you see the world, you’ll know that men aren’t great.”“Then is Mommy blind since she’s with y
Another surveillance footage showed that the waiter almost dropped the tray because of the instability of the wine glasses, so the waiter moved the position of the wine glass. However, Jade was unaware of this.The autopsy results came out overnight.Jade was found to be poisoned by potassium cyanide.The ingredients were the same as the small bottle that Jade was carrying.Jade intentionally wanted to kill someone, but she accidentally killed herself.She would never understand which part of her scheme went wrong and why she ended up dead.The police checked the surveillance footage and found that the small bottle was initially dropped by Selena’s aunt.They followed the lead and arrested her.The aunt confessed everything without omission and told the police that she was threatened, so she had to go to the event.However, the aunt did not want to harm anyone, so she took the opportunity of her fall to throw away the bottle of medicine.Unexpectedly, Jade did not give up and
Jade was silent for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips.“I don’t care what method you use. You must get your parents to see Selena. Otherwise, I will make your parents drink this bottle of potassium cyanide.”Jennifer raised her head abruptly. Her face was extremely pale.“Okay.”She spoke in a low voice.The uneasiness and fear in her eyes could not be concealed.......A few days later, the opportunity came.Eric specially brought Selena to attend a charity auction to relax her mind.Moreover, he also bought a lot of jewelry and antiques. Soon, he became the focus of the crowd.After the auction, there was a charity dinner.Jennifer’s parents managed to get an invitation through various channels.Jade was already in the center of the venue. She wanted to watch this good show, but Jennifer’s parents came late, and the crowd dispersed when they arrived.Jade was furious.If they missed this opportunity, how long would they have to wait for the next opportunity?The Stan
When Selena talked about Nicole and Eric, she had a smile on her face, and there was no concern or disgust in her eyes.It was probably because Selena felt that Eric had left his past behind.Eric would never approach Nicole again, and they each had their own lives.Nicole smiled. The gemstone bracelet in the box was shiny and beautiful. It was extravagant with each carefully crafted gemstone. There was a kind of wild and exquisite beauty to it.Nicole shook her head and could not help but laugh.“I liked collecting these a few years ago, but I’ve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!”Selena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicole’s past with Eric. They just laughed it off.Nicole wore the bracelet on her wrist. It was indeed very beautiful.Selena smiled and was very happy to see that Nicole liked it.“The past is in the past. Let’s forgive each other, okay?”Nicole nodded with sore eyes.“It’s a pity I didn’t prepare
Jade’s rudeness made Floyd’s face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.“The shares of Stanton Corporation belong to the Stanton family. Back then, Uncle Noah signed his shares over to the company so that he would only enjoy the dividends. Now that he has left the company, he will not be able to enjoy the dividends. Aunt Jade, your plan has failed. These shares aren’t part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.”Jade’s complexion was dull.“Then what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I don’t care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I won’t rest!”Jade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floyd’s face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.“You should go back and wait for the police and the company’s notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase
Jade’s face turned pale.“You should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.”Nicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.“Aunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. We’re here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!”Jade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.“Then… What did you discuss?”Clayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.“Actually, we have consulted a lawyer. The worst-case scenario is the death penalty. After all, he killed two people. But there is a way. Uncle Noah was married to you back then, right? As long as you come forward to testify that Uncle Noah has been with you all the time, so he didn’t have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!”Jade’s face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.“You… You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!”Nicole sneered
