The man with the saxophone in his hands subconsciously flushed and took a few steps back.He was really ashamed to show his face.Maddox, the one who had been standing in the middle, remained expressionless. His eyes were sharp, and his face was calm.The instructor on the side was also a little ashamed.He had not encountered such a situation before. There were too many people, so he could not teach them individually. The effect would naturally be greatly reduced.Dominic did not say much and cut to the chase.“Alright, I found a last-minute teacher for you. She can give you a demonstration.”Then, Dominic respectfully retreated to the side.He extended his hand, and his voice boomed.“Please welcome, Ms. Stanton—”Nicole was furious. When she walked to the exit, she suddenly heard her name.‘That damned Dominic Young! I’ll find a chance to kill him!’ Nicole thought.She turned around.Kai looked at her with a vague smile and went over to pat her shoulder.“Don’t worry,
At the end of the song, Nicole’s finger landed on the last key. It was a perfect ending.The violin also stretched for two seconds. The coordination of the piece matched quite well.Everyone was subconsciously immersed in it.Dominic took the lead in applauding.Then, everyone burst out in extremely enthusiastic applause.Nicole stood up and turned around. The person who played the violin was the eye-catching Maddox.She paused for a moment before smiling at them.“That’s it for today. You guys keep practicing!”Then, she lifted her feet and went back to the room she was in just now.Kai did not reveal his face, most likely because he felt that it was troublesome. However, he did watch the show.He posted a short clip he took of them earlier to his social media with the caption: “The daily life of a rich woman indulging in luxury!”Kai put his phone away when Nicole came in.“OMG, that was great!”Nicole rolled her eyes speechlessly at him. “If you say one more word, I gua
Luca opened the door for her, and Nicole bent down and got in.Soon, the car left.Dominic sighed in relief. His legs almost gave out.“Why is that lady always angry? Didn't Kai say his sister is the best-tempered person in the world?”Dominic really wondered how Kai grew up.To the side, Maddox pursed his lips. “Mr. Young, does Ms. Stanton not like me? Can I still make my debut?”Dominic patted his shoulder and comforted him.“It’s fine. Ms. Stanton is a devoted person. She hasn’t broken up with her boyfriend yet, so she can’t pass through that hurdle in her conscience. You have to have confidence in yourself. Your chance will come when she breaks up.”Maddox was speechless.Nicole was right to scold Dominic. He really never learned from his mistakes!In the car.Kai looked at the silent Nicole and secretly felt a little guilty.He was just about to take out his phone to delete the video from this social media when he suddenly saw Nicole open up her social media.His hear
Nicole kept panicking when she looked at the phone.She did not know why she was so angry either.It was just a video. It was nothing out of the ordinary.However, Nicole seemed a little afraid. She was afraid that Clayton would see it. She was afraid that he would misunderstand.How was she supposed to explain herself if he misunderstood?Nicole went back to her room and looked at her phone with a restless soul.One minute, five minutes, ten minutes... Nothing.Did he not see it?As long as that thought flashed by, Nicole instantly felt much better.In Liberty.Clayton lost his mood to work the moment he saw the video on Kai’s social media.Kai’s caption was clearly a joke.However, in the video, Nicole and the man playing the violin were too harmonious and well-coordinated.Clayton felt a very strong sense of crisis. He thought, ‘Should I ask her about this video? Will she get angry? Will she think that I’m small-minded?’Clayton hesitated and felt even more stuffy in
Clayton hung up the phone and looked at his assistant.The assistant said, “It’s Mrs. Sloan.”It was Quavon’s legal wife, a woman of noble birth with a strong family background.From the moment Clayton entered the Sloan family, he was forced to accept the cold eyes of the Sloan family.However, Clayton had only seen Mrs. Sloan a few times. That woman lived in her own home most of the time, and her marriage with Quavon was only an exchange of interests. There were no personal feelings involved.After Mrs. Sloan gave birth to Liam, she finished her task and never stepped foot in the Sloan family again.She had no disgust, persecution, resentment, or liking for Clayton. She was just indifferent. She was indifferent to everyone in the Sloan family.Usually, in instances where children were born out of wedlock, the wife in the affluent family would either give the illegitimate children a sum of money to send them off or send the illegitimate child to a remote place.Very few people
Back in the Sloan family, Liam had only seen his mother a few times. However, whenever Liam mentioned his mother, he was very happy. Every day, Liam looked forward to his mother coming to pick him up.However, she never did.The woman lowered her eyes, took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and held it between her fingers without smoking it.She just let it burn away.“Back then, I didn’t agree for Liam to date that girl because she was one of Quavon’s people. Quavon wanted to find an excuse to drive Liam out of the house, so he deliberately set up a trap.”Clayton shook violently.The woman smiled faintly. “Quavon spared no effort to pave the way for the son he had with his stepmother. So, do you know why I would rather Liam hate me than let that woman marry him?”In the end, she paused.“But I didn’t expect them to have a child. Liam was still a boy himself, but he got a woman pregnant so capriciously. It’s a good thing that the woman was killed by Isaac not long after
Clayton thought, ‘My well-behaved little brother was only rebellious in the last period of his life… Liam probably suddenly realized that his existence was not as prestigious as he imagined…’Clayton’s eyes suddenly turned red.“I don’t want your shares. You may leave.”Clayton’s voice was cold as he asked Liam’s mother to leave.The woman froze for a moment.She stood up. “Just think of Michael. Don’t reject it.”That was all she could do.She had long wanted to add insult to injury to the Sloan family, but she did not get the chance.After saying that, she stubbed out the cigarette in her hand, turned around, and left the office.Clayton looked at the document in his hand. His heart was so heavy that he could not speak.The assistant came in, looked at Clayton’s depressed face, and sighed.“It’s been so many years. She must’ve come with a motive.”As he said this, he saw the document on Clayton’s desk.He faintly froze.“This woman has such a big trick up her sleeve…”
If Clayton and Nicole broke up, the people around Eric would be much better off.Originally, they thought that Nicole was serious about Clayton, but after seeing this video, her feelings for Clayton were probably not so deep after all.The main thing was that a woman of Nicole’s status had too many choices, so why would she tie herself to one man?Eric looked complicated. His face was tense.“Nicole is just playing with them. As soon as she breaks up with Clayton, your chance will come!”Keith gushed and analyzed this bright path for Eric.However, Eric’s face remained motionless. Keith could not tell whether he was happy or upset.In the dimness.Eric’s eyes were sharp, and his voice was cold.“Sloan Corporation is in trouble. Was it Clayton’s doing?”Keith froze.“It can’t be, right? Even if his relationship with the Sloan family is stiff. He won’t actually push his own family to the brink, right? After all, the Sloan family is his backer. If he doesn’t have the Sloan fami
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
