"Okay, no problem. Wait there. I'll come over right now.""Yvette interrupted Lance and easily agreed to go pick him up.Lance happily hung up and waved at his companions."You guys go first. My wife is coming."His companions said, "You have a wife?"Another person said, "Stop lying. Since when do you have a wife?"“Mr. Sheldon, you don’t have to do this, alright? There are plenty of people who want to pick you up. Are you making up this excuse because you were unable to woo a lady?”"Mr. Sheldon, why don't you just carpool with us?"......Lance’s expression darkened slowly as he looked at his colleagues. Although he usually did not put on airs, he really could not help but want to get angry when they said that about him.He scoffed softly and immediately found a seat nearby."This is ridiculous. Can't I have a wife? Why would I lie?"Lance was a high and mighty president. Did he need to lie?His surrounding companions clearly did not believe him.Lance gnashed his teet
"Mr. Sheldon, are you still there? I encountered a little trouble earlier and went to the hospital. Sorry!"Lance's expression instantly became anxious."A little trouble? What happened? Are you alright?"Yvette hesitated for a few seconds before slowly speaking."I accidentally hit someone else's car. It's nothing serious."Lance grew anxious. How could it be nothing serious if she went to the hospital?"Are you still at the hospital? I'll go over there right now. Have matters been settled? Should I go there?"Yvette did not expect Lance to be so concerned about her and was suddenly a little ashamed."It's fine. The police said I just have to compensate him."Lance paused and heard something from her words. "You hit someone else? You're not the one who got injured?"“It wasn’t me. I suspect that he’s a scammer. I’m really furious!”Lance's heart instantly calmed down, and he sighed in relief."Alright, send me your address."Yvette said, "Okay. Where are you now? Tell me
Yvette laughed in anger. “I didn’t do it. Why should I pay compensation?”Did she look like a fool?“Then there’s no choice. I’ll just live in your house and have you serve me when I piss and shit...”The skinny man smiled wickedly.In an instant, Lance’s eyes suddenly darkened. His eyes were filled with coldness when he looked at the man.Yvette was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, but Lance held her shoulders in a death grip."Yvette…"He called her and patted her shoulder. His voice was lowered."Don't worry, I'll handle this for you. You go out and wait first."Yvette was reluctant and looked at him questioningly.“Don’t brush it away with money. I didn’t do anything wrong.”Lance nodded. "Don't worry."Under his repeated assurances, Yvette reluctantly left.The skinny man looked at the man in front of him and smiled enviously.“You have to spend a lot of money to take care of a woman like her, right? It’s nice to be rich. What kind of woman can’t you find?”
Yvette looked blankly at Lance, who came out behind her.Lance walked over calmly. “Get lost.”“Of course. Thank you, sir. Take care.”The skinny man ran away without saying anything, dashing away without caring about his broken leg anymore.Yvette looked at Lance. “Take care, sir?”Lance smiled. “It’s settled.”Yvette sized him up suspiciously.“You didn’t pay him, did you?”Lance shook his head. “Nope.”“Then how did he...”“I patiently explained the law to him, and he admitted his mistake. His attitude was quite good. He even forgot about the medical expenses.”Yvette clicked her tongue. “Who cares about that little medical fee? If he hadn’t extorted me, I would’ve given him the hundred thousand anyway. But since he seriously accused me, I don’t want to give him a single penny!”Lance saw that she was very angry. He went over to squeeze her shoulders and smiled.“That’s right, don’t waste your money on a person like that.”Yvette cursed a few more times before her ange
However, this was a project that they were willing to facilitate from the beginning.“A project is a project. She has caused me so much trouble since she was a child, and every time I want to see how much she has grown, she would drag me down instead. How about this? I’ll just leave her to you. Forget about the project. When she’s a bit more capable, let her come back to take over the company.”Mrs. Quimbey had her own plans.Although Lance’s offer for the new energy project was a gold mine, if she really accepted it, it would be hard for Yvette to conduct herself in the future.Yvette had such a flamboyant temper. Mrs. Quimbey would be heartbroken if Yvette had to suffer even a little grievance.Lance understood Mrs. Quimbey’s meaning and did not force it. He glanced at the guilty Yvette and nodded.“Sure, then let her work with me for the time being.”Yvette subconsciously raised her head, a little shocked.She did not expect to actually end up working for Lance.He was real
Lance looked at Yvette darkly with an indiscernible emotion in his eyes.Yvette was only silent for a few seconds before she recovered her natural smile.“It’s just like when you used 500 million to get rid of your ex-girlfriend. Similarly, I’m using the money to buy peace of mind for myself. Is that fine?”It was not like they got together because of their deep feelings for each other. At this stage, they were still gradually getting to know each other.If Lance really cared about her past, why did he still want to start a relationship with her?At those words, Lance smiled. "Of course. You did the right thing.”A while later, the waiter served the food.Yvette looked at the food and left the displeasure behind.Lance very sweetly served her the food. It was as if the two of them never brought up the topic from earlier.After the meal.Yvette felt a little tired.She stood at the entrance and stretched her back, watching as Lance drove the car over.“Get in.”Yvette pause
The car was silent for a while.Yvette felt that there was a hint of doting in Lance’s words.How long have they known each other?It must be an illusion!At the office.The Sheldon family’s company headquarters was not here, but because of their strength and reputation, they were at the extremely expensive commercial street, which was not to be underestimated.However, compared to their headquarters, there was still a gap.Lance took Yvette over to the elevator. It was the afternoon working hours, so there were more people, and it was more crowded.He was about to go in when he saw Yvette standing behind him with a shocked look.He frowned and pulled her into the elevator by the arm.Then, a dozen other people came in. The elevator was quickly filled.Yvette could not help but squeeze into the corner, feeling extremely uncomfortable.Lance silently walked over. When he was squeezed by the body of the fat man in front of him, he secretly cursed that he had really chosen the
Yvette walked behind Lance, and Hans invited her in.At a glance, the inside had a clean gray tone that was very similar to Lance’s style – dull, reticent, and predictable.The furnishings inside were not very luxurious but were clean and tidy and did not look cheap at all.Lance took off his jacket and threw it to the side. Hans picked up the jacket and hung it up while giving his report.“Mr. Sheldon, the director from the medical department visited in the morning and waited until the afternoon.”Lance seemed to have known and nodded.“Has he eaten?”Hans smiled. “Yes. The Vice President and I accompanied him.”Lance nodded.“Their hospital wants to monopolize large-scale medical equipment and make a fortune. We can’t agree to it so quickly. Delay it for now.”Hans nodded and agreed.Then, Hans looked at Yvette, who was sitting on the sofa casually. He pursed his lips and wanted to say something.Lance paused and cleared his throat.“That’s Yvette. You know her too. From
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
