Although Yvette was exposed for faking her cooking skills, she did not feel any guilt at all since she spent money to treat her guests to food.Nicole and Clayton finished their meal, and Yvette was almost done drinking.Yvette was slightly tipsy, and her face was slightly red.Clayton packed up the items and called the private restaurant for them to come and pick up the cutlery. Then, he saw Yvette holding the pile of snacks and beginning to eat.Nicole gave Clayton a look, and Clayton nodded regretfully before leaving upstairs.Nicole would probably not be able to come out tonight.She took a warm wet towel for Yvette and wiped her face.“Last night, he didn’t make a single phone call. But today, he made a hundred calls. Don’t you think he’s a scumbag? He even waited for my anger to subside before calling me to apologize.”Yvette laughed coldly.Nicole pursed her lips and poured a cup of honey water for Yvette.“I think that since you made up your mind, don’t hesitate anymo
Nicole looked at him suppressing the anxious look on his face and smiled faintly.“Mr. Moore, I'll say this again. She's not at my place. Please search somewhere else.”Then, Nicole turned around and pressed the button for the elevator.However, Sean did not give up and followed after her, holding the elevator doors and looking at her. The veins stood out on his forehead.“I want to talk to her!”Nicole said, “Contact her yourself.”“She's not picking up my calls. She's still angry with me.” His face was stiff and cold.Nicole said, “If she's not picking up your calls, then there are only two reasons. One, she's waiting for you to come to her door to apologize, but she didn't tell you where she is. Two, she wants you to give up.”Nicole smiled and looked at Sean's almost broken expression.Logan entered the building and saw the standoff at the elevator. He instantly acted as if he was facing a great enemy.He quickly got someone to drag Sean away from blocking the elevator an
There were clear hints of anger that were vaguely suppressed in Sean’s eyes.Sean clenched his fists tightly. “Did she tell you that?”Nicole smiled. “No. We never talk about stuff like that, but it doesn’t mean we don’t know.”Sean’s face eased slightly.“I only want to explain it to her.”“As far as I know, the people who chased after her that night were me and Julie. You didn’t even make a single phone call and didn’t care about her safety. Why are you so anxious now?”Nicole smiled at him. A trace of discomfort flashed in Sean’s eyes.The air was quiet for a few moments.Nicole guessed it was because he did not want to talk to her about these things.She could not be bothered to listen either.Nicole curled her fingers and knocked twice on the table. Her tone was calm and slow.“Go back. She’ll meet you if she wants to meet you. It’s useless for you to come to me.”Sean looked at Nicole. His lips were pressed into a straight line.His eyes were
Michael put his other arm around Nicole, flung himself into her arms, and nodded.“It hurts... It really hurts!”Nicole touched his little face, genuinely heartbroken.“It’s okay. I’ll take you back and fix it. It’ll get well soon.”Michael nodded solemnly and sniffled. He obediently let the doctor put the plaster on it.The teacher stood by the side and sighed in relief when everything was done.“Ms. Stanton, it won’t be convenient for Lil Michael to go to school in this condition. Why not let him rest at home for a while before coming back to school?”Nicole had the same thoughts and touched his head. “Okay.”The teacher smiled and was just about to say something when Lil Michael turned his head to look at Nicole.“Where’s Daddy?”“Your daddy went abroad for a meeting. He just left today and is still on the plane.”After she finished, she was afraid that he would think too much and hurriedly explained, “Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to your daddy. He won’t
Nicole paused, turned around to look at the teacher, and spoke gently.“Miss, I just want the principal to personally investigate this matter. Whether Max did it intentionally and whether he threatened Michael, there should be a result on whether these things are true or not. If you didn’t do anything wrong, then don’t worry about losing your job. If you did something wrong, then this job isn’t suitable for you. After all, not everyone can take on the job of teaching and educating others.”The teacher’s face turned a few shades whiter.Nicole smiled. “Why should I let Michael suffer just for you to keep your job?”The teacher’s eyes were written with panic and helplessness.“Ms. Stanton...”She thought she could turn a blind eye to it, but Lil Michael’s words exposed this matter.Lil Michael pulled Nicole’s hand and looked at the teacher.“As long as you let him come over and apologize to me and promise not to do anything harmful in the future, I can forgive him.”Nicole raise
After waiting for about twenty minutes, a slightly chubby middle-aged woman decked in jewels pulled an equally chubby and strong boy over.“You’re the child’s aunt as well as his teacher, and you couldn’t even solve this matter? It’s just a little spat between kids. What’s the big deal? Just pay more for his medical expenses. They’re obviously just trying to extort money!”The middle-aged woman was loud and full of vitality. The shiny gold chain around her neck could really blind someone.Just looking at her wrist, Nicole saw that she was wearing eight to nine bracelets, some of which were Cartier bracelets.It was clear at a glance that her family was rich and most likely a parvenu.Nicole looked at her a few times but did not seem to have an impression of this woman. It seemed that she never met the woman in the circle.The teacher desperately shot looks at her sister, signaling for her not to say anything further.However, the middle-aged woman seemed to have endless resentme
The chubby middle-aged woman snorted as if she was conferring a favor.“Fine, since we’re all here, let’s talk about it. The kids got into a fight, so I’ll handle the medical expenses.”The teacher walked over. “Tell Max to apologize and pay for the medical expenses.”The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows. “What? Apologize? What do children know? What’s there to apologize for?”“It was Max’s fault. At first, he wanted to copy Michael’s answers and harbored a grudge when Michael refused to let him. Today, he intentionally pushed Michael down on the field. This was incredibly vile!”The teacher simply said everything without hiding any details.The middle-aged woman sneered.“Why would my son copy this little boy’s homework? He’s still so young. How could he be studying at the same grade as them? He must’ve gone through the back door, right?”The middle-aged woman stood up and walked over with her arms crossed.“It’s impossible for an apology. I don’t believe that my son wou
Nicole did not want to waste time. After calling Lil Michael, she took the bag in his hands, pulled his hand, and walked away.The teacher and Max were left behind with shocked eyes.Lil Michael saw the chubby middle-aged woman still wailing on the ground and was stunned.“How did she fall down the stairs?”The chubby middle-aged woman froze for a moment and raised her eyes to see Nicole’s cold and intimidating gaze.She shuddered slightly.Inexplicably, she panicked.Nicole smiled, turned to look at Lil Michael, and very patiently explained.“She felt that your injury wasn’t that painful, so she wanted to try it out herself.”“Oh, she’s so dumb!”......The two of them left the hospital and got into the car before Nicole found that her phone was ringing.It was from Clayton.Lil Michael muted it.Nicole glanced at him and smiled before answering the call.“Mr. Sloan, has your plane landed?”Clayton chuckled. “It just landed. I saw that you called me. Did something happ
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
