The couple looked at each other, and the guy coughed.âUm, are you looking for the girl who came with you?âClayton suddenly turned around and stared at him.âYes, did you see her?âThe couple exchanged a glance and nodded.The girl said, âShe was taken away by a man. Your girlfriend looked like she was drunk. She didnât resist at all.âClaytonâs eyes instantly turned chilly. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his hands at his side trembled slightly.âShe didnât drink.âNicole did not touch a drop of alcohol tonight.The girl frowned in suspicion. âThat canât be. She definitely looked drunk...âHer voice grew smaller and smaller, and everyone seemed to realize something.Claytonâs expression became even gloomier and changed a few times before he clenched his teeth and spoke.âThank you. Do you remember what that man looks like?âThe boy next to the girl frowned slightly. âYou donât know him? That means she didnât 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 manâs 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.Claytonâs fingers squeezed his phone until his knuckles turned white. His expression was dark and gloomy.The manager on the side trembled.âS-Should we call the cops?âThe 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.Claytonâs face was dark and glum. His warmth faded away, and he seemed to turn into someone else, becoming terrible and gl
Clayton nodded. âThe facial recognition systems failed to find this person. He escaped through that road where there are no cameras. Our clues reached a dead end.âGrantâs tense face became even more unpleasant.âNicoleâs GPS tracking disappeared. This person is very good at escaping surveillance. Even if it was a last-minute plan, heâs very familiar with his methods. Heâs probably not an ordinary person but someone who has experience instead.âClayton closed his eyes. The veins on his neck bulged, and his expression was incredibly dark.An experienced person. That only meant that Nicole was in even more danger.It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.Suddenly, Grant remembered something.âIs Quavon still in Liberty?âQuavon hated Nicole to the core. There was no way Quavon would give up on revenge.Claytonâs expression was faint, knowing what Grant meant by his words.âI had someone check on him immediately. My people are watching him day and night. Itâs impossible
Ferguson Corporation.Keith sat in Ericâs office and took a sip of coffee.âThe Security Bureau is trying hard to pry Calebâs mouth open, but heâs refusing to say anything. As for that woman Angie, she keeps cursing you and says that she wants to see you...âEric wrinkled his brows and sat on the sofa. His aura was austere and cold.He smiled indifferently at the words.âDonât worry, not many people can get out of there safely.âPeople who were targeted by the Security Bureau were definitely problematic.They had been wanting to catch this big fish for a long time.Keith listened to his tone and was also relieved.âWell then. That woman is settled, and your engagement is ruined. Arenât you going to explain it to Nicole?âThere was a teasing tone in his words.Eric was threatened and forced into marriage, but he also had thoughts of watching a good show.Now that he was free, how could he not go and talk to Nicole?Eric frowned slightly, still hesitating. Was he wrong about
Loganâs throat felt astringent. He opened his mouth but did not know whether he should tell Eric or not.Grant told him that this matter could not be publicized.However, it seemed like Eric heard them from outside.Yvette stood up, looked at Eric, took a deep breath, and looked at Logan.âTell him. Two heads are better than one.âEric was incredibly capable. No one doubted that.Back then, Nicole was able to return from that island because of Eric. Who else had that ability?He was another ray of hope for them right now.Logan gritted his teeth. He looked at Ericâs dark expression, pursed his lips, and spoke.âMs. Stanton has disappeared. She was kidnapped. The other party came prepared but hasnât come out to state his terms. He didnât leave any clues either.âEricâs face suddenly changed, and his heart clenched painfully.Nicole was kidnapped.He vaguely felt that something was wrong.His voice was deep and cold. âWhen did this happen?ââOn the night of your engagement,
Caleb shut his mouth.Induced confession was something that he had experienced a lot in the past two days.He would not say a word.He must not let anyone get any information to use against him.The night was silent as the two confronted each other in a private space.No one else was present for this secret meeting.However, somewhere, the meeting was being watched.After a few seconds.Caleb smiled. âYes, Iâm being wrongly accused. Iâm not the Caleb you guys are talking about. Why are you arresting me? I know the laws in Mediania. Your illegal imprisonment of foreign nationals isnât allowed internationally and will cause international disputes. Under the condition that thereâs no evidence, you canât imprison me for more than fifteen days. Itâs just fifteen days. I can afford to wait.âMediania was a country that claimed to be friendly to the rule of law.He looked at Eric smugly with provocation in his gaze.It was like he was saying, âWhat can you do to me?âIt was really
Eric looked at the person opposite him and said in a cold voice.âThe information was correct. Thereâs only one possibility, which is that even they canât tell who exactly is the real Caleb. They got on the plane together and came to Mediania together, but one was caught while the other took the opportunity to run away.âThe person was secretly amazed. He did not expect Caleb to have a trick up his sleeve.They were too unprepared.However, he quickly reacted. âIâll immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the people on the same flight. No one will be spared.âEric nodded. The real Caleb must be on the plane.Thinking about the man who took Nicole away, Eric felt his blood surge in his body. He was unable to calm himself down.He lifted his feet to leave when the man behind him called out to him.âMr. Ferguson, that woman, Angie. Do you want to question her?âThis arms dealerâs daughter was probably not fake.Maybe they could find out some useful information.Eric pur
The manâs lips curled as his eyes locked on Nicoleâs face.Although she was pale and weak, it was hard to hide the stunning beauty of her features.He could not help but reach out and stroke her face. That feeling was like a venomous snake hissing with its tongue out, making shivers run down Nicoleâs spine.She turned her head away. Her gaze was cold and disgusted.The man chuckled. âYouâll know when you get there.âHe looked outside and narrowed his eyes. âWeâre already at the border, so I wonât give you any medicine anymore. Be a good girl, okay?âNicole pursed her lips and said nothing.Her mind burst with fear.The border?How many days have passed?Had she been unconscious for the past few days because the man drugged her?Nicole could not help but feel some chills in her heart. She wondered if Clayton was anxious now. The Stanton family definitely knew about it too.When she thought about how Floyd would react when he found out, her eyes could not help but sting.She
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, âDo you still want to drink coffee? If you donât want this, we can go to my place, and Iâll make you a cup of coffee.âChatty nodded.Fischer let down his hand and naturally held Chattyâs 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, âAre you reluctant about France because of Fischer?âChattyâs eyes turned red.âI donât remember him at all. Daddy, donât mention him!âShe 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.âChatty, now that youâve grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave. He also couldnât contact you, so if you see him in the future, donât blame him.âChatty stubbornly turned her head away, pretending not to care.She was the apple of Claytonâs 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.âEveryone in my class has a boyfriend. If I didnât have one, I wouldnât be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while Iâm young. Otherwise, it wonât be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isnât perfect!âClayton tried to persuade her. âYouâre still young. If you see the world, youâll know that men arenât great.ââThen is Mommy blind since sheâs 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 Selenaâs 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.âI donât 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.âJennifer raised her head abruptly. Her face was extremely pale.âOkay.âShe 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.Jenniferâs 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 Jenniferâs 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.âI liked collecting these a few years ago, but Iâve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!âSelena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicoleâs 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.âThe past is in the past. Letâs forgive each other, okay?âNicole nodded with sore eyes.âItâs a pity I didnât prepare
Jadeâs rudeness made Floydâs face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.âThe 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 arenât part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.âJadeâs complexion was dull.âThen what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I donât care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I wonât rest!âJade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floydâs face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.âYou should go back and wait for the police and the companyâs notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase
Jadeâs face turned pale.âYou should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.âNicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.âAunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. Weâre here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!âJade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.âThenâĶ What did you discuss?âClayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.âActually, 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 didnât have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!âJadeâs face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.âYouâĶ You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!âNicole sneered
