Angie attached great importance to the engagement. Both the process and the clothing were carefully selected.Eric’s people were also extremely cooperative.Eric did not want to participate in the process of trying on wedding dresses, but Angie was extremely serious and had someone call Eric to come over and see.In this shopping mall, it was difficult to make an appointment in this bridal store.However, to Angie, it was not hard to name-drop Eric. Who would not show respect to the Ferguson family?Unexpectedly, when they went there, they saw unexpected people.Nicole was accompanying Yvette to try on her wedding dress.The one Yvette was wearing had just been shipped from France. Lance had it booked in advance, so she took the time to find Nicole to try on the dress.It could be said to be the only one of its kind.The attendant welcomed Angie and Eric and politely bowed.“If you need anything, please call us to serve you.”Angie looked at Nicole sitting on the sofa, and t
Eric suddenly paused and looked back, staring at Angie intently.“Pick them up so I can be threatened by you? Angie, if you dare to think about doing anything to them, I don’t mind using your life to pay for Charles’s.”A flash of pale shock flashed in Angie’s eyes.It was not until Eric slammed the door and left did the unnaturalness on Angie’s face gradually faded.No matter what she did, Eric would always get the wrong idea.Forget it. She would release Charles when they got married.At that time, Eric would understand her sincerity.......After Nicole and Yvette left, they went to a cafe for some coffee and sighed in relief.Yvette sent a message to Lance before looking at Nicole in front of her, extremely calm.“Why didn’t you just let me diss her? That woman is really shallow. She said that she wanted someone else’s wedding dress?”Just saying it made her angry.Who dared to think about Yvette’s things?Nicole frowned and looked at her.“It’s not like you don’t kno
Nicole went to and from work as usual and did not have any abnormal reactions or behaviors.However, on this day, many people were still paying attention to her movements and reactions.After all, they used to be married. Even after their divorce, Eric’s attitude towards her could be described as extremely humble. Many people were looking forward to them getting back together.Some people felt that it was best if Nicole did not turn back. It was painful enough to fall once, so it was better if she could just be her beautiful self.However, some people felt bad for Eric’s humility and hoped that Nicole would give him another chance. After all, these two people looked really good together.Suddenly, Eric got engaged. It was like he had betrayed their relationship again. His previous deep love and humbleness seemed to have become a deception.The expectation that everyone had for this relationship turned into sympathy for Nicole.Even the employees in Stanton Corporation were unabl
However, Nicole knew that this was not the time nor place to sink into depravity.She took a step back. Her blush faded, and she looked at Clayton with a serious face.“Let’s have dessert.”Clayton smiled. His playful look was slightly unrestrained. He was just teasing her, but when he saw how striking and lovely she looked when she was angry, his heart really could not help it.He also knew that now was not the right time, so he walked over to the table to set out the desserts one by one.They were all her favorite flavors.The dessert shop was owned by the wife of a corporate boss. It was a business done out of interest and was very popular in the circle. They had limited stocks daily and had to be ordered in advance. Even their ingredients were imported. Demand for it exceeded supply.Nicole was also fascinated for a while. However, to maintain her figure, she had to stay away from it even if she liked it.Nicole was stunned for a moment when she saw the private brand on i
Clayton thought to himself, ‘Do you have to poke at my embarrassment so bluntly?’However, he soon laughed at himself. He was more open and ashamed of his narrow-mindedness.“Yeah, I saw it, so I wanted to discuss it with you.”Nicole rolled her eyes. “What’s there to discuss? Who knows what he’s thinking about? In any case, my brother already sent the gift, so we didn’t show him any disrespect.”Clayton let out a low chuckle. The stuffiness in his chest was swept away.Oh, his baby was only concerned about her reputation!......Yvette, who was next to Lance, had been looking in all directions. Quite a few people attended, and it was considered a big event.No one had anything superfluous to say when they saw Lance and Yvette appear together. After all, outsiders did not know that they were married.However, Yvette had a reputation. The people just felt that these two people might have appeared by coincidence and were not really together. Thus, no one said that they were a go
The whole venue was decorated according to Angie’s wishes. She personally came over to supervise the work for a few days.On the side of the entrance were supposed to be photos of Angie and Eric. However, they completely disappeared.What did that mean?Angie’s heart trembled violently.She lifted her skirt and walked down quickly. Her expression was glum.When she reached there, she was furious, and her palms were cold.“What’s going on here? Where are the photos that were placed here? Who told you to move them?”Her voice attracted the attention of many people. Everyone knew her background, so no one who did honest business dared to start a friendship with her.The surrounding people looked at each other, not knowing what she was talking about.Mitchell sighed with an unpleasant expression. His face was immersed in the shadows, and a touch of worry crossed his eyes.However, he soon replaced it with a smile, and he rushed over to Angie’s direction.Even if it was difficult
Angie’s makeup suited her very well. She stood there proudly with a hint of sharpness in her eyes.“It's you?”Yvette frowned.Angie smiled. “Today is my engagement. Of course, it’s me.”Yvette tossed her hair back and turned to leave.Angie called her and blinked.“I don't know them, but I know you. Do you want to introduce the guests to me?”Yvette chuckled. “Did you pay me? Why should I do that?”Then, she turned away.Angie’s tone was light. “Ms. Quimbey, can you tell me which company that man in the gray suit downstairs is the boss of?”Yvette subconsciously glanced downstairs. The man wearing an expensive gray suit downstairs had sharp eyes and was handsome with a few hints of restraint and caution as he looked around for something.She frowned slightly. She did not recognize him at all.She was just about to speak when she saw Mitchell coming up. He smiled.“Ms. Quimbey, what a coincidence! I just saw Mr. Sheldon looking all over for you!”Yvette muttered a curse a
Angie could not say how she felt right now. There was just a rush of anger that she had to vent out.Anger and shame welled up in her heart. She did not want to think about anything, did not want to care about what occasion it was. She started to fight the person in front of her.Her moves were extremely skillful. It was the experience she got after spending her childhood in the most dangerous places. However, the other party was a man with more fighting experience than her. He won against her in both technique and strength.The commotion at the door attracted the attention of many people.Angie’s identity was special. For a while, the noisy scene was surprisingly quiet, leaving only the sound of exchanging blows.Soon, a circle of people with the same size and aura as the man in the gray suit gathered around them.They all mingled among the guests just now and suddenly stood out from among the crowd. They were sharp and alert.“Bang—”The moment Angie was thrown to the ground,
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
