Those shareholders would not easily sell their shares.However, Nicole unexpectedly collected 54% of the shares in just a few days, occupying the largest stake in Sloan Corporation. That was unexpected.Even so, no one now knew that the owner of Sloan Corporation was about to change.Clayton’s eyes were gloomy as he looked out the window.The assistant cleared his throat and could not help but remind Clayton.“Mr. Sloan, maybe the Sloan family offended too many people, and they could no longer just stand by and watch.”Clayton did not say anything. He was silent for a few seconds before opening his mouth.“Is Eric Ferguson still in Liberty?”The assistant said, “Mr. Ferguson bought the largest vintage car brand in Liberty and injected capital from Mediania to Liberty. Mediania has never had a history with this brand before. He’s been busy lately, and Liberty gave him a lot of problems in his acquisition, so he hasn’t been able to distract himself with Sloan Corporation’s affair
Nicole’s casual tone gave Eric an illusion.That illusion was that their relationship had eased.Eric took it with a smile. “Of course not.”He helped her so much, so Nicole would not use numbers on a check to measure his help.Eric knew that very well.He only needed a chance to get closer to her.Nicole stood on a step to be at eye-level with him.Since she was staying at home all the time, Nicole changed into more casual attire and looked slightly gentler.She hugged her arms and looked at him.“That’s a thank-you gift. I’m someone that distinguishes my gratitude and grievances clearly. Your people helped me contact several major shareholders of Sloan Corporation and made them willingly sell their shares to me secretly. I accepted this favor, but I can’t accept it for nothing. This is a thank-you gift that you need the most. Accept it.”Nicole smiled and continued, “I have a video conference in two minutes, so I’ll go upstairs and get ready. Help yourself.”She was not be
Kai went upstairs and saw Nicole calmly having a video conference. She raised her brows slightly when she saw Kai leaning against the door frame.Kai put down the envelope in his hand on the table, turned around, and went out.She glanced at it.Nicole was slightly stunned. Then, she immediately regained her composure and calmly listened to the person in the video call report the situation.Eric did not accept this thank-you gift, even if it was the thing that Ferguson Corporation needed the most.Twenty minutes later.The meeting ended.Nicole calmly looked at the document on the table and thought, ‘Eric really has a backbone. Did he want me to owe him for life? No way!’Nicole called a number. “Logan, come over.”It took 25 minutes for Logan to get from the office to the Stanton Mansion.Nicole stretched and came downstairs, holding a cup of hot milk in her hand. There was even a milk mustache above her lips.Logan looked at her and laughed. “President, are you in a good m
Nicole occasionally swept a glance. All the trending topics were about her and that project in Sand City.[Goddess Nicole, come back safely. You’re gonna be the richest person in the world!][That reporter is so unprofessional. He’s basically discrediting the whole communication industry. He went out of his way to frame someone else just because of a little money?][A clear conscience laughs at false accusations. If Stanton Corporation has to go through a quality inspection, then so be it. Even if they lose money, they still want a statement! I praise their moral integrity!][The person who started the fire must be afraid that the quality control department would find that there’s nothing wrong, right? How ridiculous!][I can guarantee that this fire was definitely not something that Stanton Corporation planned themselves. They will never throw their president into the warehouse to burn as well][I was present when she was rescued. Goddess Nicole almost didn’t make it. The door w
Clayton’s comment was surprisingly still the first!The people below commented.[What does this mean?][Is Goddess Nicole feeling better? We all miss you so much!][We hate the rich. The only company we don’t want to go bankrupt is Stanton Corporation. You have to get better!][I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but the first hot comment seems like a couple’s dialogue.]Several comments immediately appeared under this comment.[Impossible!][Absolutely impossible! My Goddess will always be single!][A cat and a mouse? Anyone can meow. Don’t try to use the entertainment circle’s tactic. You’re just lucky that you became the first comment!][That’s right, it’s pure coincidence!]......Nicole looked left and right. The rising comments and likes made her even more puzzled.Thus, she sent a screenshot to Clayton.Clayton replied instantly. [?]Nicole typed. [Isn’t this you?]Clayton replied. [It’s me.]Nicole confirmed that she had not misread it before she slowly repl
Clayton did not answer.Instead, he kept her in suspense. [You’ll know when you go and see. Don’t go alone. Take your friends with you. It’s very safe there.]Nicole replied. [Okay.]She looked at the address. She had not been there before and was a bit unfamiliar with it. She did not know what that place was used for.It really aroused her curiosity.The preparations for the press conference had come to an end.This time, it was also a live broadcast.The person sitting in the middle was still Jacob Cook.However, the person watching from below had changed from Nicole to Grant.Jacob drank three bottles of water before he went on stage, but he still could not help but feel nervous and shaky.He was not even this nervous when Nicole was around.It was killing him.Seeing more and more reporters file in and the number of cameras increasing, Jacob still could not overcome his nervousness when it was about to begin.Nicole was connected to the scene from the Stanton Mansion a
Jacob had complete admiration and guilt for Nicole, so he respected her from the bottom of his heart.On the other hand, Jacob had a fear that reached deep into his bones when it came to Grant.For some reason, when Jacob looked at Grant, he knew that his standard did not meet Grant’s requirements for this position.Jacob was occupying a position he did not deserve.Thus, in the end, it was a guilty conscience that produced fear.Nicole said, “Mr. Cook, the trouble in Sand City was resolved smoothly thanks to you. When the press conference is over, I’ll ask my father to invite you to come over to my home for tea.”Jacob looked overwhelmed by the partial treatment.“No, no, I wouldn’t dare, Ms. Stanton. This is my job. Besides, I didn’t do anything to help. You were the one who suffered, and you were the one who came up with all the ideas. How can I take any credit?”Nicole’s voice was gentle and calm, like a soothing spring breeze. She did not sound like she was putting on airs
Jacob calmed down and spoke in a firm and resounding voice. This was the best attitude in the face of doubt.Nicole was completely relieved. At least Jacob did not drop the ball halfway.That was good.None of the questions that followed were nonsense. The number of viewers in the live broadcast went from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. It reached two hundred thousand in less than ten minutes.In the end, the total number of viewers was more than three million by the end of the video.It could be seen how many people were paying attention to the press conference.In the end, according to the arrangement, a netizen would be randomly selected to ask a last-minute question.As for this question, it was a risk to arrange for it because no one knew who would be selected.Jacob’s ability to improvise would also be tested.Thus, everyone prepared countless questions and answers in advance and waited for the last question in trepidation.Grant originally did not want to 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
