Angie instantly understood the meaning of Mitchell’s words.It was originally an hour’s journey, but Caleb took so long to arrive. Why?How could Caleb not keep his word?Angie made it clear the benefits of her marrying Eric. Using Eric to open up the market in Mediania, they would have the final say on all relevant matters in the future.Caleb had been coveting this force for a long time. Now that there was an opportunity, whether he succeeded or failed, he still had to come in person.Furthermore, Angie had patted her chest in confidence and vowed that there would not be a problem.What was the result?She was too negligent, only to find out that her phone had already lost its signal. The phone signals were blocked, so she could not get in touch with the outside world.In that case, the outside world could not get in touch with her either.Caleb came over from South Asia and lost contact with his daughter. Who would he go find?Eric, of course.Angie’s face was cold and ha
At Mitchell’s words, Angie seemed to be drained of her strength. There was nothing left to support her body.She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, freezing her to the bone.She was clueless. Mitchell’s short words and plain tone were like a disaster to her.With Caleb’s reputation, almost no one dared to provoke him. He was an arms dealer on the surface, but he was not that clean in private either.Clean people could not get a foothold in countries abroad.He sold weapons and trafficked drugs.He sold people and also killed them.Caleb was a man who did any atrocity and was inextricably linked to terrorists.Countries hated him to the core, but without proof, he remained as stable as ever.No one knew where her father’s home base was. The international police had raided several bases through informants, but none of them were real.He basically never showed up, except this time...They unexpectedly lost to Eric.Angie felt like a fool for coming here and throwing
“Put your hands up, Caleb!”Someone shouted loudly.Caleb glanced around. He was surrounded by people wearing special police outfits.They came prepared.His heart continued to sink. He already knew that he was at the end of his rope.He subconsciously looked at the car. It was dark, so he did not know what he was looking at.In a few seconds, he made a decision and gritted his teeth, running in the nearest direction with his gun raised. His aura was intimidating, and the kind of reckless energy he had was most in line with his identity.He would not let people kill him that easily.He was Caleb, the king of Southeast Asia.He would not easily admit defeat.“Bang— Bang—”Firing several shots in quick succession, Caleb confirmed that he had made the hit and ran fast. However, in less than two minutes, he was shot in the calf.He fell to his knees with a thump.His face was pale.At that moment, everyone gathered around him, and countless guns were pointed at him. Smoke fil
It was a rare night for Nicole and Clayton to relax, so they went to watch a movie.Today’s movie was not very popular. Nicole and Clayton spent money on two tickets to buy out the entire hall.Clayton very firmly chose a horror film and claimed that the unrealistic feeling was a kind of enjoyment.Nicole looked at him like she had just seen a ghost.Clayton smiled helplessly. “Fine, it’s because no one watches this film. I don’t like places with too many people.”This reason was normal enough.Nicole smiled and agreed.They ate a lot of dessert before coming, so they could not eat any more snacks like popcorn.Clayton thought the same.Thus, the two of them walked in empty-handed, looking like a cool and reserved couple.A surrounding college couple watched. They were a little jealous and pouted in envy.“That guy is so good-looking, but he’s also weirdly stingy.”The guy said to the girl.The girl looked at her boyfriend and scoffed. “With his looks, it’s okay to be a li
The great Ms. Quimbey, who had never seen the world, always exaggerated.Nicole’s heart sank for a moment.“A gunshot? Are you sure?”Yvette smiled. “Of course, I’m not sure, but Lance said that it was a gunshot. He wouldn’t let me watch the show. Eric’s assistant, Mitchell, sent all the guests away, saying that the engagement was canceled. I’m guessing that the arms dealer’s daughter shot a gun in a fit of anger...”Nicole frowned. What are the consequences of shooting a firearm in Mediania?It was very troublesome.However...Nicole pursed her lips. “Did anyone get hurt?”Yvette paused. “I don’t think so. Lance said that no ambulance came, and there wasn’t anyone making noise. It’s probably fine. But I saw them take Angie away in handcuffs!”Nicole quietly sighed in relief.If the people from the Security Bureau took Angie away, this engagement was probably Eric’s revenge. It was his elaborate trap.His purpose was to trap Angie.Her identity was special, so there were na
The people passing by did not notice and only thought that they were lovers, or that the girl was drunk and was taken away by her boyfriend.As for the college couple earlier, the guy looked on with wide eyes. “She’s... The man beside her isn’t the same man from before...”The girl also nodded. “This man isn’t as good-looking as the last one. Sigh, love triangles are so complicated!”However, they had to admit that this woman’s temperament alone was out of their reach.It was not surprising that so many men chased after her.......Fifteen minutes passed.Clayton was speechless about this movie. Although it was suspenseful in the beginning, it gradually became a little boring. Even the plot was a cliche of hatred being born from love.He looked at the time, then glanced in the direction of the door.Nicole was not back yet.Clayton frowned and stood up after a while.He knew that Yvette was most likely looking for her to share the latest news of Eric’s engagement. No one cou
The couple looked at each other, and the guy coughed.“Um, are you looking for the girl who came with you?”Clayton suddenly turned around and stared at him.“Yes, did you see her?”The couple exchanged a glance and nodded.The girl said, “She was taken away by a man. Your girlfriend looked like she was drunk. She didn’t resist at all.”Clayton’s eyes instantly turned chilly. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his hands at his side trembled slightly.“She didn’t drink.”Nicole did not touch a drop of alcohol tonight.The girl frowned in suspicion. “That can’t be. She definitely looked drunk...”Her voice grew smaller and smaller, and everyone seemed to realize something.Clayton’s expression became even gloomier and changed a few times before he clenched his teeth and spoke.“Thank you. Do you remember what that man looks like?”The boy next to the girl frowned slightly. “You don’t know him? That means she didn’t have an intimate relationship with that guy and you guys
The man waved his hand and sprinkled some white powder, then took Nicole away.Looking at it, Nicole had no strength and was unable to fight back at all.If he had used force instead, Nicole might not have been so easily taken away.The man’s tactics were brilliant. He probably already knew that Nicole was trained and was afraid that it would attract the attention of others if there was too much of a commotion.Clayton’s fingers squeezed his phone until his knuckles turned white. His expression was dark and gloomy.The manager on the side trembled.“S-Should we call the cops?”The manager was so frightened that he could not complete his sentence. It was clearly a kidnapping, but the person being kidnapped was the heiress of Stanton Corporation.Stanton Corporation just had to move a finger to make his cinema go bankrupt.He seemed to feel the catastrophe.Clayton’s face was dark and glum. His warmth faded away, and he seemed to turn into someone else, becoming terrible and gl
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
