There was nothing wrong with being kind or soft-hearted, so who was at fault here?Julie could not figure it out when she was in her study, like she had reached a dead end.Even though her innocence was proven, she could never face anyone again with those photos exposed.“K…”Julie choked up and reached out to cover her eyes, blocking the light.Tears flowed out along her fingers.The crystal droplets were blinding.Kai stood up, leaned over to place his arm under her pillow, and bowed his head.He leaned over her shoulder and hugged her gently.Kai patted her other hand. His voice was gentle and husky.“It’s all in the past. Just think of it as a dream. It’s okay. It’s all over now.”Julie cried for a long time. Her voice was getting louder by the minute, which almost made the doctor come in.She needed to vent, but Kai did not dare to let her cry any longer.He coaxed her gently as he was still worried that crying so much would affect her head trauma.Gradually, Julie’s
Julie subconsciously wanted to refuse because she felt that Kai was just taking pity on her for being someone who was laughed at by everyone.Her nudes were flying all over the place, so what qualifications did she have to put up a front?If people knew that the famous movie star Kai had married such a woman, so many people would poke at his back.Why should she involve such a clean Kai?Kai had always loved to maintain his spotless reputation, so how could she pull him down from the pedestal and dirty him?Julie shook her head and cried. Words of refusal came to her lips, but she could not say them.She was greedy.Kai, who she had yearned for, offered himself on a silver platter. To make her feel secure, he could marry her and tell everyone how he liked her so humbly.Back when her crush came to an end, she knew how hard it was.By then, she had never regretted that she loved Kai. She also bore all the consequences by herself.Now, his heart was also moved.The tangled emo
Kai did not want to leave at all. He did not care about the crew’s efforts.For him, his mission was complete as soon as he finished filming.The rest of the publicity activities like the premiere and so on were just too troublesome.However, since Julie and Nicole said so, Kai could not find a reason to refuse.After a few seconds of hesitation, he stood up.Kai looked at Nicole and instructed her seriously.“Take good care of her. Don’t leave her side, not even one step away!”Nicole nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry!”Kai reached out to hold Julie’s hand before he left reluctantly.Once he left, Yvette could not help but cover her face.“OMG! Since when did Kai become such a mushy person? I’m jealous!”Nicole laughed and looked up at her.“My third brother has always been like that. It’s just that he was used to being held up in the past and usually wouldn’t show it. He’s actually very clingy, right Jules?”The two people looked at Julie meaningfully.Julie blushed as she
Nicole looked up at her. Yvette’s eyes were slightly red, but she was not really that emotional.As soon as their gaze met, Yvette winked at Nicole.Nicole smiled.After a long time, the only sound in the silence was Julie’s deliberately suppressed sobs.Julie’s heart seemed to be clenched tightly. The heart-wrenching suffocation came rushing in.After a long time, no one said anything.Nicole’s phone rang.She looked at it and saw that it was a video request from Kai.“Quick, pass it to Jules…”Nicole was speechless. ‘Where are his manners?’She handed the phone to Julie.Julie wiped her tears and took a deep breath to ease her emotions.Yvette hurriedly helped her to sit up.Julie took the phone and looked at the person on the screen.The dazzling Kai was extraordinarily handsome.Kai seemed that he was born to be in the highest place so that he could be sought after by all. He was really favored by the heavens.Julie did not know what to say. Kai looked at her seriou
Kai touched his nose and coughed.“How can I feel at ease when you guys do things? The trending topic is for today’s premiere!”He blatantly found excuses for himself.Yvette was speechless.Nicole smiled and stood up. “Well, then you can keep watch here by yourself. We won’t bother you.”Yvette immediately stood up.“That’s right. We won’t disturb you then!”Julie still kept her head down because her face was red as hell.If she had been firm in her refusal, she would not have cared at all.However, her heart was no longer firm.As Yvette said, Julie was lucky to be able to get requited love, so she wanted to be selfish this time.Nicole and Yvette left the hospital.Once they got outside, Nicole saw a familiar car.Clayton got out of the car with a light smile hanging on his face. He looked at Nicole deeply.Nicole smiled, then quickly jogged over. The two of them embraced each other briefly, and Clayton’s smile deepened.It had only been a short time since Nicole saw
Clayton’s voice was deep and husky as he comforted Nicole.“Don’t be upset. Why don’t you think about what gift you want to prepare for Kai?”“Gift?”“He’s with Ms. Nixon, so don’t you want to congratulate them?”Nicole was blushing as her heart pounded.“It’s not certain yet…”Julie’s attitude was ambiguous. It was not at all clear what Julie was thinking.Clayton laughed. “After this incident, it’s pretty certain.”Nicole looked at him suspiciously.“How are you so sure?”“Shall we make a bet?”Nicole asked, “Bet on what?”Clayton lowered his head to look at Nicole with a smile.“If you lose, can you cook a meal for me personally?”Nicole was stunned. “That simple?”Clayton chuckled.Nicole suddenly felt a little guilty. She did not seem to have done such a simple request before.From the moment they met until now, Nicole had only made Clayton a bowl of soup when he had a fever.She nodded without even thinking about it.“It’s a deal!”Kai chased after Julie for s
Nicole was shocked. She held back her laughter and clicked into the trending topics to take a look.It was at dusk when Kai carefully shielded Julie in his arms as they walked out of the hospital and were photographed.In the photo, the two of them did not wear masks and sunglasses. They appeared in the public eye openly.Julie was very calm and gently put her hand on Kai’s arm.Her expression was clear and cold.Kai had a look of caution. The heartbreak and protectiveness in his eyes were pretty much written on his face.This was the superstar Kai that mere mortals could not approach.The reason why the word “sweetheart” appeared was that everyone saw the couple’s ring that they were wearing.For a moment, the online discussion could not be suppressed, and this incident shot up to the trending topics.The servers were even down for a while.Forty minutes later when the servers were back up, countless netizens' comments came flooding in.[Kai is married?! I always thought he
As a woman who was serious about her career, Nicole would love to persuade Clayton to be calm in his feelings.However, on second thought, Clayton was only not calm when it involved Nicole, so it did not seem so bad.Moreover, the feeling of being taken seriously felt very nice.Nicole nodded at the thought and smiled at Clayton.“I can relate.”‘I can relate to how happy he is. The happiness and wholesome feeling when I make millions of dollars is simply too addictive!’Clayton froze, and his smile deepened.Just as he was about to say something, Nicole lowered her head and started to eat.He swallowed back his words.A moment later, Clayton’s phone rang several times.The cost of delaying an afternoon of work was to prioritize the most urgent matters.Thus, Clayton had no choice but to leave first.Nicole sent him out and finished her portion.She then hurriedly tried to call Kai.His line was busy.Nicole paused and called Julie.Coincidentally, her line was also bus
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
