When the word “ex-wife” came out of his mouth, Eric Ferguson felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.He could not describe that discomfort.“Which house do you like? I’ll buy it for you,” Eric said.Back then at the Share Fashion Show, Nicole had willfully asked Kai for a yacht. That scene was extraordinarily piercing to Eric’s eyes.Eric recalled that he had never given Nicole any gift before.If Nicole could accept his gift now, he might feel a lot better about himself.Nicole let out a light laugh like she had heard some kind of joke. However, there was no emotion in her eyes.“Buy it for me? Mr. Ferguson, you’re really generous. Are you always so generous to your ex?”Eric frowned slightly and was just about to speak, but Nicole did not give him the chance to explain. “You said so yourself that I’m your ‘ex-wife’. That means we no longer have anything to do with each other and I have no reason to accept your gift, lest your family tries to sling mud at me again saying
Keith was speechless and covered his face. He stood up, patted Eric’s shoulder, and sighed tiredly. “It’s not that I’m switching sides, but Nicole is straight-up wronged this time…”‘Nicole clearly hates Eric alone, so Wendy is just overthinking it and imagining herself as Nicole’s enemy. When did the dignified Wendy become like this? She’s too good at involving herself in drama!’ Keith sighed and walked away.Ingrid was still cursing Nicole incessantly, but it was not only because of Wendy.She hated Nicole and was jealous that Nicole had become the heiress of Stanton Corporation overnight. Since then, Nicole’s fame in the gentry circle skyrocketed.‘What about me?!’ Ingrid thought.Ingrid and Nicole’s status were completely reversed. Now, Ingrid was the lowly one.Everyone at home was mad at her and did not give her any pocket money anymore. It was all just because Nicole took the emerald pipe!‘Nicole completely messed up my life!’ Ingrid thought.“Shut up!” Eric chided in a
Before it was over, another accident happened again.The photos of Eric entering and leaving the hospital were taken and spread widely on the internet.The headline of the news: “Mr. Ferguson’s new lover is in the hospital, suspected to be his mistress!”It was accompanied by a photo of Wendy Quade lying on the hospital bed and Eric Ferguson standing at the door, looking at her with deep affection.[It really looks like true love… That homewrecker is really shameless to think she can be his wife!][Rich people have no morals… That homewrecker had some skills though!][Goddess Nicole should just focus on her career and inherit her family fortune. All that matters is being rich by her own ability!][My hopes of them getting back together are officially crushed… There’s no hope of remarriage now, but fret not, Nicole, I’ll still love you forever!”[I’d like to ask if there’s a queue number to be President Nicole’s boyfriend?]......When Nicole woke up in the morning, she receiv
Nicole was obviously a little angry because they really dared to just sling mud at her.She was so infuriated that she wanted to punch someone.Kai’s presence emboldened her.“Excuse me, I’m not from the entertainment industry and have no obligation to answer these questions. If you guys dare to block my way again, I’ll call the police.”Her voice was loud, clear, and uncompromising. ‘Did they think that I’m some sort of D-lister who dares not speak out because of this minor scandal?’“Also, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Quade are truly a match made in heaven. I sincerely wish them the best. I’m just as surprised as anyone for Ms. Quade’s accident, but you accusing me without grounds is ridiculous. If she was somehow killed by a falling boulder from the sky, should I also be suspected of bribing God?”The cold and solemn atmosphere became somewhat relaxed for a moment, and some of the reporters could not help but laugh out loud.Nicole took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her ches
Kai felt that he had underestimated his sister too much.Hearing Nicole’s order, he felt that he had been too merciful with what he instructed that reporter to do earlier.‘Not bad! She finally acts like a strong independent woman!’ Kai thought.Nicole hung up the phone indifferently and looked at Kai. “I’m going to the office for a meeting. What about you?”Seeing that Nicole was still in the mood for a meeting and was not affected by all this, Kai smiled and spoke tentatively, “I wanna take Tigger home. Dad has been picking fights with me lately… I’m about to be overwhelmed!”‘How nice would it be to find a little cutie to divert Dad’s attention?’ Kai thought. Nicole pondered for a moment and agreed to it.She had to go to J&L Corporation to follow up with the project during this period, so she would not have time to play with Tigger either. This way, it was better if her dad and brother could take care of Tigger.Kai jumped up happily and looked like the exact opposite of t
Nicole did not even glance at Eric. Not to mention greeting him, she completely ignored his existence and walked into the lobby of J&L Corporation with her purse.Every part of her, from the soles of her shoes to the strands of her hair, was ignoring Eric.The way she walked was like the wind, brisk and gentle. The security guard at the door respectfully opened the door for her.She thanked the guard and went in calmly.When Eric saw her, he frowned slightly. Her ignorance made him feel suffocated.‘She really doesn’t care about me anymore! I can no longer read her…’ Eric thought.The man walked to the door. Before the security guard could open the door, a mob of people rushed out from the side.They were aggressive and came prepared.Numerous reporters swarmed around Eric with their cameras and equipment.“Mr. Ferguson, do you and Wendy Quade plan to get married this year?”“Do you really like this mistress?”“Mr. Ferguson, how many girlfriends do you have?”“Will the Ferg
With the series of harm Eric Ferguson had inflicted on Nicole, her hostility towards him would not lessen one bit.Gerard Lichman awkwardly glanced at the two people. The atmosphere was momentarily stagnant.Eric was silent as he stared at Nicole with a dark and deep gaze.Nicole’s undisguised arrogance and indifference made Eric realize the extent of Nicole’s hatred and long-standing resentment.This feeling was horrible like someone had squeezed his heart.Gerard coughed slightly and tried to ease the situation. “I think what President Stanton said makes sense…”In the end, Eric also agreed with Nicole’s proposal. Once the meeting was over, Mitchell walked over to Eric quickly. “President, Ferguson Corporation’s stock has plummeted...”Nicole was the last to leave the room, so she heard this sentence very clearly.‘Serve them right!’ Nicole thought.Eric’s voice was extremely cold. “Get to the point.”Mitchell handed over the iPad in his hand, opened the webpage, and show
Ingrid was brought to Ferguson Corporation. Even her phone was confiscated.She stood there miserably and tilted her to look at Eric. “Brother, why did you call me to come over all of a sudden?”Eric’s face was permeating with coldness. His voice was stern and harsh. “What do you think?”Ingrid trembled and refused to admit her fault.“How would I know?”“You don’t know?” Eric sneered, then shouted at the door. “Bring him in!”Mitchell pushed the leading reporter into the room.The reporter came in with a smile and carefully bowed. “Hello, Mr. Ferguson. Good day, Ms. Ferguson.”Ingrid saw the reporter and thought that he had betrayed her.She panicked and ran over to pull Eric’s arm.“Brother, don’t listen to him! What he said is all fake! I didn’t hire them to slander Nicole…”The reporter had not even said anything, but Ingrid had already admitted to it first.Seeing Eric’s increasingly chilly eyes, Ingrid suddenly felt a pang of fear.She slowly let go of Eric’s arm. “I
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
