After hanging up the call with Julie, Nicole immediately called Logan.“Is it too late to acquire a company before the press conference?”Logan paused for a moment to digest that question. “It depends on the size of said company…”‘Is President Nicole addicted to acquiring companies now?’“Gemini Entertainment.”‘That’s not as easy as Anson’s company a few days ago, but…’“The formalities are a bit tedious and will take a few days, but... We already have 16% of their shares in our hands. Second Young Master’s Falcon Entertainment has 30% of their shares, so if you can purchase five percent, you can become the largest shareholder and become the person in command.”In other words, that would be no different from an acquisition.Nicole nodded in satisfaction. “Okay. Do it as soon as possible.”After that, she hung up the phone.She dressed her wound, then made herself a sandwich without haste while she looked at today’s trending topic that she was undoubtedly in.[Fabian likes
Hearing this, Nicole lowered her head and laughed lightly.She did not show a trace of panic or fear from Ines Xavier’s threat.It was as if those words were insignificant and nothing more than a ridiculous joke.When Ines was about to explode from anger, Nicole slowly said in a dull voice, “Ms. Xavier, are you only treating me like this because of Eric Ferguson?”Having her thoughts exposed, Ines panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down.There was no need for her to hide her affection for Eric in front of Nicole.“It’s good that you know. Since you’re already divorced, get the hell out of here and stop hanging around him! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being cruel.”Nicole looked askance at Ines and laughed coldly.‘Ines is really overthinking this, huh?’“I’ve never had the habit of turning back to pick up trash. You should tell him not to hang around me instead!”‘Why do all women have to be so obsessed with Eric Ferguson? Is he even worthy? I was so blind in the past,
Before Ines could finish her sentence, the President’s exclusive elevator arrived downstairs.Dominic Young walked out of the elevator, scanned the lobby, and spotted Nicole. He breathed a sigh of relief and went up to greet her with a warm smile.“President Nicole, you can just summon me over the phone. Why bother making a trip here personally?”Dominic’s cautious and humble attitude to Nicole was not at all like the big shot in showbiz who could turn the tide with a snap of his fingers.Ines instantly looked irritated.She thought, ‘How did I get ignored repeatedly?! I’m at least the daughter of a giant entertainment company!’“Dominic Young, you…”“Who did you want to beat up just now?” Dominic suddenly spoke. His face was cold, and his eyes carried a stern warning.Ines froze for a moment and subconsciously panicked a little.“Do you know who am I? I’m the daughter of Gemini Entertainment’s boss! If you don’t believe me, ask Nicole!”Ines actually had to rely on Nicole to
Ines Xavier had dropped out of high school after bullying her classmates and was sent abroad for a year of “reformation”.When Ines returned to Mediania, she was infatuated with Eric Ferguson, but her confession was rejected. Later, she went to Korea for full-face plastic surgery, so all of her facial features were no longer natural.Since Ines found out about Eric’s divorce, she quickly came back to Mediania again.However, what caught everyone’s attention most was the second half of the recording.“Ms. Xavier, are you only treating me like this because of Eric Ferguson?”“I’ve never had the habit of turning back to pick up trash. You should tell him not to hang around me instead!”“You want to bury Fabian? Well, I’m going to promote him. I want you to know who’s the real boss around here!”......The comments section exploded in a flash.[OMG! How confident do you have to be to say that? Nicole is #goals!][President Nicole is simply a winner in life! She has hundreds of bi
For a moment, Mitchell felt as if an invisible hand was lifting him up from the back of his collar. That suffocating feeling was simply too alarming!“Hmm?” Eric saw that Mitchell did not speak, so his gaze became even colder and darker. “Don’t you guys have a good relationship? Tell me, what do you think?”Every word felt like a deadly threat.If Mitchell did not answer Eric, he would not be able to walk out of this office.Mitchell just felt like his life was in danger when he was at work…He coughed slightly to clear his throat and had no choice but to say something. “President, I don’t have a good relationship with Ms. Stanton, so how would I know the kind of person she likes?”Looking at Eric’s cold eyes, Mitchell immediately added, “But... I think that since Ms. Stanton gave up her status to marry you, the type she likes must be someone like you, Mr. Ferguson! That Fabian is nothing! How could Ms. Stanton lower her standards to like that guy?”Eric looked down and did
During the whole process, Gerard Lichman clearly introduced the role and significance of the artificial intelligence chip and even named it “Human*World”.The results of that project were enough to change the course of medical development. Of course, this was not only limited to Mediania. It would impact the whole world and was a major milestone of medicine!Nicole kept a faint smile throughout the press conference and was focused on Gerard’s speech. Her eyes shone brightly as she hid the great excitement and elation she felt.At this moment, she suddenly felt that those three years of marriage were a complete waste of life. ‘I should’ve just made money and focused on my career instead!’By the end of Gerard’s speech, the sound of applause and awe in the venue were incessant. Many experts and reporters went up to find more surprises...Gerard was helpless and extended the conference for another hour.Nicole saw that her part was done at the conference. At that moment, Logan sent
The atmosphere around the car was stagnant for a moment.Eric’s face was taut and extremely unsightly. He stared intently at Nicole while he tightly pursed his thin lips.There were no outsiders present, so Nicole was not even willing to pretend to be superficially peaceful with Eric.To Nicole, Eric Ferguson was never eligible for forgiveness.She treated others like Ian Carter, Kai, Maverick, Fabian, and even Mitchell ten thousand times better than him.Nicole sat there lazily as she waited for Eric to leave on his own accord.Not just anyone had the right to sit in her car.Eric Ferguson was even more unworthy!A full minute had passed, and Eric was still standing there unmoved.Nicole frowned at him. ‘Does he not understand English?!’ Just when Nicole was about to chase him away, Eric’s thin lips parted. His voice was clear and cold. “Nicole, are you sure that you don’t want to go to the place I’m going to?”‘Of course…’ Nicole thought.Before she could say anything, L
Nicole was just making a casual remark, but it set off a huge ripple in Eric’s heart.‘I’ve always been so cruel to the women who like me? I was cruel to Nicole, Wendy, and now Ines Xavier…’ Eric furrowed his brows, and a huge wave of emotion was hidden in his eyes.His lips were pressed into a straight line. Eric pondered for a moment and lowered his voice.“Nicole, you’re not like them.”At least, Nicole used to be his wife.Other women were nothing to him.Thus, he had nothing to worry about.Nicole lowered her head and laughed, then looked at him with a cold and detached gaze.“Yes, I’m not like them. At least I was once someone who managed to marry you because of my special blood type…”She laughed self-deprecatingly, glanced at him, then coldly looked away.Eric frowned slightly.He clearly did not mean it like that.“We’re here, President Nicole,” Logan said.Finally, Logan could breathe a sigh of relief.Logan felt that this journey was the most difficult car ride
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
