The sound of screaming, muffled grunts, and cursing in pain intertwined. At that moment, it was unclear whether Isaac was cursing Clayton or begging for mercy.Yvette watched the show for a while before she got bored.“Isaac doesn’t even know how to fight. How can he be so arrogant?”At least in their circle, every rich kid knew at least a trick or two.Whether it was to pick up girls or for self-defense, neither were neglected.Nicole laughed. “Isaac grew up with bodyguards following him, so there was no need for martial arts.”Yvette snorted. “So, now he’ll just get beaten up.”Nicole put away her smile and looked at Clayton, who was sitting on Isaac.Clayton’s usually gentle and elegant demeanor was no longer visible. He looked like a long-dormant beast that was subduing its prey.His eyes were scarlet and cold without the faintest ripple of emotion.This side of Clayton Sloan was unfamiliar.It made Nicole’s heart ache.Although Isaac and Clayton were both from the Sloa
Quavon said, “Clayton didn’t even let anyone watch you. Even if the front door was locked, the door on the second floor could be opened. Was it so difficult to jump out and ask for help?”Isaac would not die by jumping off the second floor.He clearly had many opportunities to escape, but he did not.Isaac just stubbornly ate moldy bread and waited for someone to rescue him.It was ridiculous.Clayton did not waste any energy on Isaac. However, Isaac one-sidedly thought that Clayton deliberately locked him up there to kill him.Isaac plotted Clayton’s death countless times and resented him.What was the result?Isaac did not leave, but not because he was unable to.This incident was simply the greatest shame of his life!It was because of this matter that Quavon forbade him to retaliate against Clayton.Clayton did not consider Isaac an opponent at all.......Back at the apartment, Nicole wanted to see Clayton go in first, but Clayton insisted on seeing her go in.The tw
Clayton was rich and talented.However, after he left the Sloan family, he lost those advantages.Did Clayton want to marry Nicole?Absolutely impossible!Quavon was an experienced person and knew this better than anyone.Isaac’s expression eased, but his heart was still furious.“Then we should seize the opportunity! Nicole doesn’t have a good impression of me. We can’t let Clayton take this chance.”“We can’t even get into the Stanton Mansion. What’s the use of being anxious?”Quavon was a little annoyed.Isaac was quite clever at first, but in recent years, he became a little unreasonable in the Sloan family.Isaac’s face changed.He looked at Quavon with somewhat complex eyes.“Brother, you don’t think that since Clayton is your son, he’ll be of help to the Sloan family just the same if he marries Nicole, right?”He said the word “brother” through gritted teeth.Quavon’s face changed slightly, and his gaze darkened as he looked at Isaac.“What are you saying?”His e
Mitchell stood by the side silently.Eric had been in a good mood when he came, but in less than one minute, he was shrouded in a dense chill.The Sloan family was really capable.The secretary ran over in a panic.“I’m sorry for making you wait, Mr. Ferguson. Please come in...”Eric’s complexion recovered quickly. He followed the secretary into Quavon’s office with a powerful aura around him.Quavon immediately stood up to greet Eric.“Welcome, Mr. Ferguson. I didn’t expect something to come up and delay our appointment. My apologies.”Eric nodded with an indifferent face.“Chairman Sloan, congratulations on Isaac’s freedom. He must be very busy now.”"He’s fine. Isaac is still young, so he’s not as earnest as others. He still needs time to hone his skills.”Eric raised his eyes expressionlessly. His tone was cold.“Is everything ready?”Quavon nodded hurriedly.“Yes, Sloan Corporation intends to place its first property in Atlanta. Construction has already started. The
Ferguson Corporation.Mitchell was a little confused. Eric had originally gone to sign the contract, so why did he change his mind at the last moment?Perhaps it had something to do with what Isaac said.Even Isaac had started to set his eyes on Nicole.Isaac really did not know his place.Eric sat in his chair with a cold face.“Has Sloan Corporation’s registration data been sent to the relevant departments?”Mitchell nodded.“Yes, I heard that the preparations have already started, and the soonest they’ll get the permit is in half a year. During this period, they probably won’t give up and will do a lot of preliminary preparations.”Eric’s gaze was sullen and cold as he snorted lightly.“Dream on!”Mitchell raised his eyes cautiously and looked at Eric.“President, are we not going to sign with them?”Eric’s face was expressionless, and he spoke in a cold voice.“No. They won’t be able to spread their roots smoothly anyway, and I don’t plan on letting them do so.”Mitc
Grant stiffened and immediately shook his head.“I’m going to watch a movie with your sister-in-law tonight. I’m not free!”Nicole was speechless.Back to the topic.Grant pondered for a moment. “Sloan Corporation wants to set up their brand in Atlanta. They’re bound to divert some customers away. You should be on your guard. Also, I heard that Isaac offended you at a party?”Nicole raised her brows. “Not really. I just taught him a lesson.”“Be careful, but there’s no need to hold back.”Nicole nodded. Those words were quite nice to hear.She waved her hand. “I’ll get going then...”Grant nodded. Then, he suddenly remembered something and called her back. He took out a navy-blue gift box from the side.“Here.”Nicole was confused. She took it and opened it up.Wow!It was a huge ruby bracelet. The color was indescribably beautiful.Nicole was shocked, and a smile immediately surfaced on her calm face.“Thank you, my best brother...”Grant said, “You’re welcome.”“But
Yvette smiled. “Sean supported breaking off the marriage. He also wanted to marry me, but I refused. What benefits would I get to marry him besides whitewashing the fact that he had an affair? I’m not that stupid. We’re all just playing around. We’ll be together if we see fit and break up if we’re unsuitable anymore. What’s the point of so much entanglement?”Nicole took a deep breath. She saw that Yvette’s expression was not very happy.Forget it. Yvette made up her mind, so she would not listen to anything that anyone else said.She pulled Yvette’s hand. “Forget it, stop thinking about it. Don’t hold back today. I’ll pay for anything you like!”Yvette blinked. “Seriously?”“Of course. Have you seen a stingy rich woman before? Pick whatever you want!”Nicole patted her chest and assured Yvette. It was not like she could not afford it anyway. What was important was that Yvette was happy!Yvette pulled her excitedly. “Then I won’t hold back!”Then, she rushed into a luxury store
Nicole took the card in a complicated mood and put it in her purse.Since she already used the card, it would be unreasonable to give him back the money.“Please come again...”Yvette and Nicole left the store together.The staff politely sent them away.A long sigh of envy sounded from behind. “Her starting point is our end goal. The cards in Ms. Stanton’s bag are enough for me to spend for a few lifetimes. I’m so envious!”“Exactly...”......After leaving the mall, Nicole called Clayton.He picked up after a few rings.“Little Nicole...”Nicole was speechless.Yvette was startled by that name. “Hahahahaha... Mr. Sloan, that pet name is a little too odd!”There was silence on the phone for half a second.Clayton did not say anything.Except for the echoing sound of Yvette’s laughter, no one else spoke.Clayton did not expect someone else to be there.Nicole was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to burrow into.Clayton was really going too far recently. H
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
