Nicole’s smile faded. Her gaze was clear and cold as she looked at Keith.At that moment, Keith could feel a chill crawl up his backbone.Nicole’s voice was indifferent as she said, “Keith, I was right about you. You’re just a scumbag that can’t think of any good solutions. I really hope Ms. Lehman can be relieved soon and escape from her suffering. I decided that as long as she’s willing, I’ll help her without reservation. I hope that you’ll both separate as soon as possible!”Keith’s expression crumbled slightly. ‘God! I just wanted to give my good brother Eric a chance to start over again. How did I get cursed?!’The feelings that Keith fought for only a while back were attacked without reservation.For a moment, it was as if Keith saw hell.If Nicole really wanted to help Livia escape, the odds were that Keith would not have the chance to meet Livia again in his life.Luca got the driver to drive the car to the front.After Nicole said that, she wanted to walk down the step
Keith paused. ‘Eric can still sleep in such an urgent situation?!’“Ferg, something big has happened!”Originally, this matter was not worth telling Eric, but once it involved Ferguson Corporation and with Eric’s sensitivity to Nicole, Keith felt that this matter could be even more precarious than he imagined.“Speak.”Eric’s tone was cold, decisive, and harsh.Keith said, “Stanton Corporation’s project in Sand City was recently sabotaged by someone. Nicole found out that the person who sabotaged them is someone from Ferguson Corporation.”The phone suddenly went silent after Keith said that. There was not even the sound of breathing.Keith looked at his phone strangely and double-checked that he was still on the call.“Ferg, are you listening?”Eric suppressed his emotions.“What do you mean? My people?”Keith gritted his teeth.“The person she found isn’t some middle or upper management. I’m guessing that he’s just out to cause trouble, but he has something to do with Fer
Floyd shook his head with a glum face.“That old Leonard knows what to do. He’s very shrewd and likes to expand his network. He especially likes to establish his superiority among the younger generation.”The butler thought about it and said, “Chairman, I think there’s no rush. Ms. Stanton has only been there for a day. With her ability, she can solve this matter without relying on the Leonard family.”Floyd raised his eyebrows and looked at him.“You believe in her so much?”The butler smiled. His loving gaze flickered. “Of course! I watched her grow up, so I trust in her ability.”Floyd was pleased by these words and could not help but smile proudly. He looked at Mr. Anderson and said, “You say it like you’re her father. I trust her more than you do!”The butler said, “Then don’t worry so much. If she really encounters something that she can’t solve, she’ll naturally come back and ask for help. Our young lady isn’t someone who makes things difficult for herself!”Floyd nodded
Nicole got dressed and came out. Her phone rang again.She thought it was Eric again, so she was very annoyed when she picked up the call.“What do you still want?”The other party was silent for a few seconds before a warm voice came through.“Who made our princess angry just now?”It was Clayton’s voice.Nicole was stunned and suddenly remembered that she had not had time to contact Clayton all day, so he would call her before going to bed.Suddenly, she felt like her emotions were too out of control.“An insignificant person. You’re still awake?”Clayton was still hung up on it.“How could an insignificant person make you so angry? Who is it?”Clayton did not fall for it at all.Nicole was silent for a moment before she answered, “Eric Ferguson.”She immediately felt annoyed about the matter, so she retold everything to Clayton.Clayton was silent for a few seconds and did not speak.Nicole thought that Clayton was upset, so she called out to him tentatively.“Mr. Sl
Early in the morning.Logan came over and knocked on the door. When Nicole opened her eyes, it was already past 10:00 am.Nicole instantly sat up and felt a little guilty.At once, a sense of guilt and shame arose in her heart.‘How could I still sleep so soundly?’ Nicole thought.She hurriedly got dressed and went to open the door, then went to wash up.Logan got the staff to bring in a table of sumptuous breakfast with some local specialties.Nicole saw the enticing food, but she had little appetite.She looked at Logan. “Is there any news about that reporter?”Logan nodded. “Although we haven’t found him yet, we found his hometown.”Once Nicole heard that, she felt energized.“Then what?”Logan said, “I checked his and his family’s bank accounts. There’s nothing unusual in the reporter’s own account, but a few days ago, his mother’s account received three million dollars from an overseas account. The other party transferred the money and canceled the account, so we can’t
Nicole raised her eyes and seemed a little surprised, but she quickly recovered her expression.“Mr. Cook, it isn’t easy to sit in your position. Even if someone sits in it, they may not be able to sit firmly. These things didn’t happen because of your incompetence, but you’re just unlucky. Don’t think of running away. Think about how to solve this!”Jacob’s eyes suddenly felt warm. A big man like him almost cried from the few words this lady said.Her attitude compared to yesterday was a lot nicer.Jacob thought that Nicole would blame him. Nicole’s attitude represented the entire Stanton Corporation.Rather than getting fired after this matter, Jacob thought that it was better to take the initiative himself. At least then, he could still have some decency.With the matter escalating to this point, Jacob was just shy from a mental breakdown.However, Nicole’s attitude was surprisingly completely different from what he imagined it to be.Although Nicole did not say any comforti
When Nicole finished speaking, the office was silent.Logan’s gaze went from shock to amazement.He suddenly realized that this was not a bad thing. It would even cause a new wave of rising sales.Even Jacob was a bit dumbfounded.Nicole’s method seemed to be beyond imagination.Jacob could not help but stand up and spoke with an excited expression.“This way, those bribed owners will definitely not act rashly. No matter how much benefit the mastermind behind this offers them, they can’t give everyone a house, right?”Logan widened his eyes. “That’s right. This buy and sell is not at all beneficial to those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Others won’t risk selling the house they have. When the quality inspection results come out, those who have sold the house will definitely regret it. Not only that, by then we’ll also increase the price. No one is willing to spend more money to subsidize the difference, which means that tomorrow, those owners won
Nicole had not strolled around the streets here, so she was just walking around aimlessly.Unknowingly, she walked to the end of a street.She was a little lost and looked around, seemingly a little confused. When she raised her eyes, she saw a bar.After thinking about it, Nicole walked in.The music inside was deafening, but there was not much of a crowd. Nicole swept a glance, then walked to the private area and went to a booth.She was a little tired and wanted to relax.However, not long after, someone stood in front of her and blocked the light.Nicole frowned, raised her head, and saw a few people in front of her.Autumn was one of them. Behind her were a few frail-looking men with outstanding looks and figures. Their strong perfume made Nicole feel unpleasant.Nicole suppressed her heart’s doubt and acted calmly.“What a coincidence, Ms. Ferguson.”Autumn smiled and raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Stanton, we’re really fated to meet. Why are you alone? You don’t mind if we a
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
