Nicole sneered. ‘Does Ingrid think that I’m easy to fool? Does she think that her apology is worth a lot? I won’t even care if she kneels to apologize!’Ingrid was shocked by Nicole’s words.She froze for a moment and instantly lost her momentum.Ingrid almost forgot that Nicole was now the capable and powerful CEO and heiress of Stanton Corporation.Nicole could even exert pressure on Ferguson Corporation and was no longer the pushover that Ingrid could bully at will back then.“Nicole, you... What kind of attitude is this? I said that I’m here to apologize, so why do you have no manners at all?”Ingrid gritted her teeth. ‘I’ve already come here and done my part. It’s Nicole’s problem if she doesn’t accept it!’Nicole looked down at the time and called the internal landline. “Have security come up to escort Ms. Ferguson out.”While Ingrid was staring at Nicole with a shocked gaze, Nicole added, “In the future, don’t let her step foot in Stanton Tower.”“Nicole! How could you?
The trust fund kid had such a contemptuous attitude when he hinted that Nicole was just faking her strong persona and that she was in fact weak on the inside.Nicole’s so-called domineering boss lady persona was just a front. She was just a divorced trust fund baby, so what was there to be proud of?Nicole’s face was indifferent. The corners of her lips gently hooked up into a mocking arc.Her voice was extremely cold as she said, “Yes, I am looking down on you!”Under the light, Nicole looked so bright and glamorous.She only needed to give that man one look without any other expression to kill his ego.‘Who the hell does he think he is? He doesn’t even deserve my time of day!’ Nicole thought.Nicole did not want to stay here for another second and immediately stood up intending to find Yvette.Many people around them noticed the commotion.The trust fund kid was ashamed and embarrassed when he saw that Nicole ignored him. He was so angry that he went up to grab her arm and
When the crowd saw this, they were all secretly surprised.It was rumored that Eric Ferguson and Nicole Stanton were at odds for a long time.If that was the case, why did this ex-husband rush out to defend Nicole when she was in danger?Yvette heard the commotion and ran over in a panic. She sized up Nicole and asked, “Are you alright?”Nicole calmly nodded without the slightest bit of fear.She was already prepared.With her fighting skills, even if no one stepped in to help her, that trust fund kid would not be able to touch a hair on her head.It was just that Eric’s appearance was too unexpected.The trust fund kid lying on the ground slowly returned to his senses. Although he was in pain, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear with it.He did not know that Keith was speaking, so he did not think that the person who kicked him would be Eric Ferguson.Before he could open his eyes, he shouted furiously, “Who dares to meddle in my business?!”‘Someone still dares
Nicole snickered from the side and thought, ‘What a great show today! Simply wonderful!’Only, she was not in the mood to watch this performance any longer.It was a waste of time to continue watching another second of it.Nicole looked at Yvette and said, “Let’s go somewhere else. Seeing these irritating fools really affects my mood.”The only person she did not want to see was Eric Ferguson.Yvette knew what Nicole was thinking. She was originally regretting her decision of bringing Nicole here, but as soon as she heard Nicole’s proposal, she immediately nodded her head in agreement.Nicole took her purse, turned on her heels, and strutted out of the venue.She did not care about all those prying eyes who were watching the drama.‘They can just keep watching Eric’s performance!’ Nicole thought.Yvette went to get the car while Nicole waited at the entrance.Nicole was looking down at her toes. The night breeze was slightly chilly.Suddenly, she heard the familiar sound of
Early the next morning.Ferguson Corporation.Eric Ferguson came out of the conference room after a morning meeting.He suddenly remembered something, turned around, and instructed his assistant Mitchell, “Immediately terminate any cooperation with Anson’s company and acquire their company at a low price, then get him to leave Atlanta.”Mitchell paused for a moment and did not understand where Eric’s sudden idea came from. He looked at his boss with a complicated gaze and reported truthfully, “President, Anson’s family went bankrupt early this morning. They’re millions of dollars in debt and fled the country in a hurry. Even their residence has been sealed…”‘I’m afraid it’s no longer possible to acquire Anson’s company…’ Mitchell thought.Eric frowned tightly. His expression was cold and solemn.Without much thought, he knew that it must be Nicole’s doing.‘She acted fast…’ Eric thought of what she said last night and felt extremely uncomfortable.He tried to suppress the str
Nicole’s eyes flickered, then she shook her head with a smile.‘Hell no! Turn over the page? Dream on! These people are really more naive than one another!’ Nicole thought.Keith’s smile faltered. It meant that he only came here to make a fool of himself.He left the office feeling disappointed while Nicole spoke indifferently.“Mr. Ludwig, it’s good enough that I didn’t take the initiative to find fault with you guys. Next time, don’t come looking for your own discomfort.”Keith paused in his footsteps. An idea suddenly flashed in his heart, so he turned back to look at her with shining eyes.“Nicole, do you still like Eric?”‘If she still likes him, then the chances of them being together now is definitely much higher than three years ago! They both have the same status and are a perfect match!’Nicole’s face turned even colder when she heard this. “Do you want to die?”It was a barefaced threat.Keith shrank his neck, smiled awkwardly, and ran away as fast as he could.Th
Ines Xavier had just returned to Mediania and came over to join the fun.She did not expect to see Eric Ferguson here, so she could not care less about anything and wanted to approach him.Three years ago, Nicole robbed Ines of her chance, so three years later, Ines vowed not to give up!Eric did not say anything. His face was a little cold, and the disgust in his eyes was obvious.If Mitchell, who was sitting next to Eric, still could not see Eric’s displeasure, then it would be a waste of all those years of working for Eric.At this moment, Mitchell hastily proposed. “President, why don’t we change seats?”Eric stood up without saying a word, so Mitchell quickly moved to the side and sat on Mitchell’s original seat.Mitchell tried his best to ignore the indignant piercing gaze from Ines, who was now next to him.Nicole’s phone beeped. It was a message from Julie Nixon.[That lady sitting next to Eric is Ines Xavier from Gemini Entertainment, right?]Nicole saw the name and
The venue was silent.To everyone’s disappointment, Eric Ferguson faintly withdrew his gaze and did not continue bidding.‘If she likes it that much, I’ll give it to her.’ Eric thought.“$2 million sold!” The sound of the hammer finalized the bidding war.The crowd was a little shocked. ‘Mr. Ferguson conceded?’The show that they were expecting was not that exciting after all.Nicole coldly snorted and thought, ‘This doesn’t even cost that much. Eric Ferguson raised the bid for no reason just so that I’ll spend an extra million. He did this on purpose, right?’She stood up and went to make the payment.Fabian followed by her side.None of them noticed that they were being followed.Nicole looked at the pair of cufflinks and handed them to Fabian personally.“It’s for you.”Fabian froze and widened his eyes in shock.“For me?”‘It’s worth two million dollars, yet Nicole just gave them to me?’Nicole nodded and smiled. “Thanks for accompanying me to the auction. It’s a l
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
