Nicole’s voice was not loud nor too soft. She did not deliberately suppress her voice either.Many people around heard what Nicole said.Everyone felt extremely satisfied.Viola Magazine had used its position in the circle to segregate artists into different categories, and the word had spread in the industry.It was just that their sales and feedback have always been very good and popular with fans. After each shoot, there was bound to be a wave of publicity for the artist involved in the shoot, and the artist would get more benefits from it.Therefore, many artists wanted to be on their cover even if they had to fight for it. They would never leave easily even if they had to listen to the editor-in-chief and the photographer’s directions in a lowly manner.As such, their arrogance was fueled.Nicole’s words unveiled that fig leaf and were like a hard slap on their faces, crisp and loud.It was mockery without the slightest care, which was satisfying to hear.When the photogr
Dominic pinched the space between his eyes.“I probably shouldn’t have brought you here.”Nicole said, “Fortunately, you brought me here. Your analysis is right earlier. Harvey’s every word and action represents Stanton Corporation’s image, so he can’t have any stains on him. He must get rid of his bad reputation. Otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted!”Harvey had already gotten dressed in his own clothes and walked over to them.“Ms. Stanton, don’t worry. Even if I don’t shoot the cover for Viola Magazine, I will still do a good job. The paparazzi are watching me closely these days, so I’ll pay attention to my private life.”Nicole nodded. Harvey was a quick learner, and she was very satisfied with him.“Good, don’t worry about the cover. I’ll contact other people.”Harvey retained his principles and did not succumb to the photographer’s limitless demands like others, which had refreshed Nicole’s perception of him.It was rare.Harvey’s assistant came and took him away.
Nicole paused. Her gaze deepened as she pondered.“Which is the best magazine in the circle now?”Dominic looked at her suspiciously. “What do you want to do?”Nicole unhurriedly took a sip of coffee and pursed her lips.“If we want to shoot a cover, we might as well go for the best one. I’m not interested in small name magazines.”Dominic was speechless.He had no doubt that they could contact the best magazines with Stanton Corporation’s ability.However, those magazines with high status would not allow Harvey, a third-tier male artist, to shoot their cover because it would simply downgrade their class.Therefore, Dominic was not optimistic about Nicole’s idea and thought that it was a bit impractical.However, Nicole stared at him, waiting for his answer.Dominic paused and had no choice but to say, “The best magazine in the global entertainment industry is Liberty’s fashion magazine, VJ. They’re the most popular and known as the global trendsetters of the fashion industry
Julie coughed violently.After she caught her breath, she sighed.“Lil N, can you be serious for once? Your family fortune will be squandered by you sooner or later!”Nicole blinked blankly. “That’s not gonna happen…”Julie said, “Right…”Anyway, if Nicole made up her mind to buy VJ Magazine, the entire Stanton family would fully support her.“But can you not be so impulsive? Although I have limited ability, I suggest that you approach someone else. He’ll certainly help you.”Julie spoke mysteriously.Nicole said, “Tell me…”“Clayton, of course! He’s such a good connection and you’re not using it? Isn’t that a waste?”Julie said rightfully.Nicole did not understand. “What does Clayton have to do with this magazine? He’s not even in the entertainment industry!”Julie choked.“Why don’t you know anything about your boyfriend?”Nicole was speechless.Julie sighed and took a few sips of water to stabilize her emotions before she explained.“VJ Magazine isn’t just a fashion
Nicole watched from the side. She finally opened her mouth and spoke up.“You should eat in moderation. Eating too much at once will cause indigestion…”Clayton paused and devoured the last dish before he wiped his hands slowly with a paper towel.“I just don’t want to waste your efforts.”Clayton lived a healthy and eco-friendly lifestyle. It had been years since he ate so much at once.However, he felt very happy as if he had the world to himself.Nicole smiled. When their eyes met, he finally saw a hint of enthusiasm that seemed a little off in her pretty eyes.He paused and straightened the cuffs of his shirt.“Is there something going on?”Nicole pursed her lips and nodded.“That old editor-in-chief of Viola Magazine wanted to take advantage of Harvey, so I just gave up on them. But now, we need to get Harvey to shoot a cover for a magazine that’s even better than Viola. At the moment, I think that Liberty’s fashion magazine VJ is still more in line with my expectations.
A voice came from the phone, “Are you insane?!”Clayton calmly waited for Sully to finish. Just as he was about to speak, Nicole’s phone rang. Surprisingly, it was Kai.Nicole smiled and thought that Dominic must have told Kai about it. Since Kai called, he must have a way.At that thought, Nicole pointed to her phone, looked at Clayton, then went to the balcony to answer the call.“Third Brother…”Her delicate and soft voice rang out, which stunned Kai a little.“I heard that you wanna acquire VJ Magazine?”Kai got straight to the point.Nicole replied, “Mhmm… Let’s buy it and arrange for our own people to be on it so that we don’t have to care about other parties just to shoot a cover!”Kai paused. “You have a point, I support you!”......Clayton watched as Nicole answered the phone. She looked like she was in high spirits. Her facial features were expressive as the light enveloped her and created a faint halo around her.She was extremely beautiful.He could not help b
No wonder in his sleep, Clayton did not hear any cooking movements in the kitchen. It turned out that Nicole bought all these from a private chef.The taste of this private chef’s food was very familiar, but when Nicole was looking at him earlier, Clayton did not notice this familiarity.Clayton looked down at his stomach. ‘I ate so much for nothing?’He felt vexed yet funny.Then, he gently packed up the things.Before going to bed, Clayton sent a message to Nicole.[Let’s order from another private chef the next time for a change of taste.]Nicole asked. [Didn’t you love this restaurant?]Clayton suddenly choked. ‘Did I love it?’To Nicole, eating all of it was a sign of his love for the food.There was nothing wrong with that.Clayton patiently replied. [I only love it because you brought it.]Nicole’s face was slightly hot.[Okay, thanks for today…]Clayton replied. [...]Nicole put down her phone and went to sleep. She never had much trouble sleeping. Even Yvette en
[I’m beginning to wonder if the previous whitewashing of his domestic violence incident was deliberate?][Is a magazine like Viola still not worthy of Harvey’s status? Does Harvey have a misunderstanding of his standing in the circle?][Harvey’s first step into the fashion world is ruined just like that. I’m afraid no magazines will work with him again!][Let’s sit and wait for things to reverse. All of us spectators need to calm down a little.]......Nicole hooked her lips and casually looked through them.Immediately after that, she clicked on the statement released by Viola Magazine.[Since the artist, Mr. Sage, is not cooperating, we have decided to terminate our partnership with him. We will be inviting the popular Fabian to shoot the cover of our next issue. Please look forward to it!]No wonder.That one sentence of “Mr. Sage is not cooperating” turned into the discussion of Harvey being arrogant.This was the first time a magazine came out to besiege an artist like t
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
