Today, Yvette still had an attitude of “I’ll do whatever I want”. She was fearless and her smile was both willful and pure.She pulled Sean inside. Sean's expression was clearly a little helpless.However, she did not care.When Yvette saw Nicole and Julie, she waved vigorously.Nicole and Julie walked over, and Yvette finally let go of Sean."Let me introduce you guys. This is Sean Moore."Nicole and Julie froze. They were already acquainted.Was there a deeper meaning as to why Yvette was introducing him again?Yvette introduced them as well. "These two are my best friends. You should know who they are. Nicole Stanton and Julie Nixon. There's also Ian Carter, but I don't know where the hell he is now…"Sean looked at Nicole and Julie and nodded.They did not overreact and nodded respectfully.Yvette patted his shoulder. "Alright, you go do your stuff. I'll be with them."Sean gave her a look and quietly left.Nicole and Julie exchanged a glance.Nicole could not help bu
As Ian finished speaking, the crowd automatically parted for them.Nicole saw Clayton standing there.Clayton wore a luxurious black suit. He was handsome and gentle but carried a hint of a sharp chill.Nicole did not know why Clayton was angry, but he was definitely mad.Claire did not know who Clayton was. She was from a small circle who would never meet people like Clayton.She thought that the biggest person who could not be offended was just Eric Ferguson.The unfamiliar Clayton accidentally misidentified a person.In order to please the arms dealer Ann, Claire refused to let go of the matter.“You saw the wrong person? Your excuse is really low. I think you’re just trying to cop a feel. Shouldn’t you at least keep in mind the location and what kind of people are here? You actually dared to take advantage of Ms. Ann? I’ll call the cops to arrest you!”The surrounding people all gathered over to watch the show.Claire refused to let the matter drop. She had to let Ann kno
“Who are you calling a chatterbox?”Claire was dissatisfied with Clayton’s attitude.“Then did you touch her?”Nicole’s tone was slightly unkind.“Of course not. I didn’t even touch a hair on her!”Clayton spoke with a very firm attitude.Claire said, “That’s just what you’re saying. I saw with my own eyes. Are you still trying to deny it?”She said that extremely loudly, as if afraid that others could not hear her.It was as if the louder her voice and the more aggrieved she was, the higher her credibility.Nicole looked at Claire with a smiling face.“Mrs. Levine, how about this? Let’s call the police...”Claire froze. “Call the police?”She just said that to make Clayton embarrassed.If they really called the police and things went too far, the scene today would end up becoming unpleasant.In the end, Claire could not represent the entire Carter family.“Yes, since you’re so angry, if we don’t call the police, what would people think of the Carter family’s reputation?
Mrs. Carter’s face turned slightly pale at being lectured.“I understand. I’ll go out and have a look.Mrs. Carter had just been forced to come in and hide because of Claire, and now, she was forced to go out again?Mrs. Carter walked out sullenly and felt overwhelmed when she heard the commotion there.The guests present were all rich and noble and were invited for the sake of the Carter family’s reputation.Mrs. Carter was aware that the Carter family was declining day by day. If not for Nicole’s help last time, the company would have already fallen into the hands of others.The way Claire lost her composure was really ridiculous.Mrs. Carter walked over and saw Nicole standing there. Ian stood far away, looking like he was staying out of it.“What are you all yelling about? Even the Old Master heard the commotion.”She went over to reprimand her sister.When Claire saw Mrs. Carter, it was as if she saw her backer.“Why else? It’s just a small matter, but Ms. Stanton refus
It was Julie who spoke up with a smile.“That’s right. It was Mrs. Levine who kept insisting and accusing Mr. Sloan of harassing someone else. Everyone knows that Mr. Sloan is deeply in love with Nicole. When has there been anyone other than Nicole in his eyes? If Mrs. Levine’s words cause other people to think that Nicole is together with a hoodlum and word got out, the Stanton family would not be able to show their face anymore.”Mrs. Carter looked at Claire with an extremely unpleasant expression.“How could you do that?”Nicole wanted to deny it, but because of the man’s and Nicole’s identity, if she denied it, she might not be able to get out of the situation.She pursed her lips. “It’s a misunderstanding. Maybe I saw it wrong...”“Whether or not you saw it wrongly, we’ll know as soon as we watch the footage. Mrs. Levine was filled with righteous indignation earlier. It didn’t seem like you might have been mistaken.”Nicole spoke coolly, her face sunken as she looked at Cla
When Claire finished speaking, her face was already red to the point where it looked like it would explode.Claire was completely humiliated in front of the crowd.Mrs. Carter did not show her any mercy and smiled at Nicole.“Nicole, for my sake, tell your boyfriend not to get angry. Just think of it as a joke. We welcome you to this birthday banquet. Don’t spoil your good mood.”Nicole glanced at Mrs. Carter. There was no hint of reluctance on her face, and she did not care about Claire’s reputation at all.If Mrs. Carter could say such smooth words, it meant that she knew which was more important.Since Claire already apologized, Nicole did not want to continue making a fuss.She looked at Clayton. "Are you satisfied with this outcome?"Clayton raised his brows. "Quite."He did not care about her apology. What made him happiest was that Nicole always stood up for him. She did not care even if it was her friend’s relative.It meant that in her heart, Clayton was worth more.
Mrs. Carter spoke calmly.“Enough. It doesn’t matter what I say. He’s the Old Master’s favorite, so his word is the Old Master’s word.”“Sister, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to draw a line between us? I’m your sister!”Claire was anxious and frightened.“You’re just not allowed to attend the Carter family’s public events in the future. You’re thinking too much.”Mrs. Carter finished speaking and turned to leave.Claire chased after her. “What about my Riley helping out in Carter Corporation? He specially came back to help Ian.”A trace of impatience crossed Mrs. Carter’s eyes.“Let’s talk about that later. As you can see, the Old Master only believes Ian now. He doesn’t listen to me at all.”"Then what about Riley?"Mrs. Carter said, "Just let him return to Liberty. Wasn't he doing well there? Why did you tell him to come back?"Claire was at a loss for words and stopped in her tracks.......Nicole held Clayton’s arm and wanted to see if he was still angry or
Old Master Carter paced around them twice and smiled.“Good. Nicole, you have a good eye! Mr. Sloan is a talented man with outstanding abilities. Your father must be overjoyed, right?”Nicole’s lips twitched as she remained silent, letting this topic slide in jest.If her father were to know, he might die of anger.Overjoyed?Nicole did not dare to entertain the thought.Old Master Carter was clearly interested in Clayton.He pulled Clayton and chatted with him for a while before letting them leave.Nicole did not want to socialize since she felt that it was too annoying. After a few people came to exchange pleasantries with her, she made excuses to run away.Clayton was left there to helplessly take over everyone’s greetings.Yvette popped up from somewhere and went over with a grin.“You left Mr. Sloan behind? I heard that everyone is very interested in him, but those who want to build connections with him can’t find a way to.”Nicole pursed her lips. “Whatever. Let him d
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
