Lance did not force Nicole and turned to Yvette to instruct her.“Take Ms. Stanton to the lounge next to my office. Make sure to attend to her well.”Yvette nodded her head solemnly. “Yes, Mr. Sheldon.”She then glanced at Nicole and grinned.The three of them got on the elevator together.It was as if they had forgotten about Iris, who was behind them.Iris stood there with a pale face, took a deep breath, and went upstairs from another staff elevator.How could she be qualified to take the president’s exclusive elevator?Back then, the Sheldon family had just expanded its business here, and their conditions were not as good as those of other large multinational corporations. Even the president did not have an exclusive elevator.Iris remembered that in the past when she came to work, she always liked to come a little early and dawdle in the lobby, waiting for Lance to come on time so that she could pretend to meet him by chance and take the elevator upstairs together.At th
Yvette stared at Lance, who was unconvinced by anything, and really did not know what to say.She could only shrug helplessly.“Before Hans left, he said that Iris is very capable. She’s an ambitious person and can do even more for the company. She shouldn’t leave because of such trivial matters.”Lance’s expression did not change, and his tone was indifferent.“What Hans said might not always be true. There are times when he’s mistaken as well. Ambitious? I think she’s just delusional!”The sentence was thrown to the ground like a boulder smashing into the calm surface of the sea, causing waves to surge and swell up, ebbing and flowing unstably.“She’s already so vicious treating a newcomer like you. If she treats other employees this way, will they still have room to turn their fortune around?”Lance’s words made Yvette’s heart sink.She only thought about herself and forgot about others.Yvette could not possibly vouch for Iris, much less forgive her for the sake of others.
When Lance saw Iris, he restrained the emotions in his eyes and looked at her indifferently.“Do you know why I called you over?”His voice was extremely cold as always.Iris looked at him and quietly shook her head.She just felt her heart go cold.Previously, she thought she could understand his loneliness. She thought that she was the person closest to him mentally.However, she suddenly felt that she was wrong.Lance knocked a few times on the computer and did not bother with any superfluous nonsense.“Go to the HR department to do the formalities.”Iris’s face turned a little pale.She clenched her fists at her sides and her voice shook.“Why?”She forcefully controlled her emotions.He did not even bother to investigate?Lance pursed his lips as an obscure chill seeped into his eyes.“I thought you would understand. I just need to make a phone call to find out what happened just now.”Iris clenched her teeth, and her breathing became unsteady. She could not help b
Why was Lance willing to teach Yvette personally when she did not even know how to do basic work?Why could Yvette take the exclusive elevator, and Lance did not say anything about it?Why did Lance become extraordinarily forgiving in all matters when it came to Yvette?Iris had too many questions piled up in her heart, and they gushed out in a flash.She waited for an answer.An answer that would make her give up.Lance looked at Iris grimly. He frowned and spoke with a sneer.“Because she’s my wife and lover. With me, she’ll always have the right. You certainly can’t compare to Yvette.”Who were they to compare with Yvette?Just that one sentence made the blood fade from Iris’s face.Her eyes were filled with disbelief. “Wife?”Lance did not want to explain anymore. Why should he explain his private matters to a subordinate?“Get out.”Iris looked at Lance silently for a moment and finally felt the difference between their worlds.She thought that Lance was different fr
Upstairs.Yvette looked at the table full of snacks in front of Nicole and clicked her tongue a few times.“Ms. Stanton, your treatment is completely different from every guest. It’s like we’re serving the royal family!”Nicole patiently took a piece of mochi and tasted it. This dessert store’s custom-made snacks have always been her favorite.Yvette did not try to fool her with anything else. Nicole did not make this trip in vain.Nicole glanced at her. “The royal family? You’re the princess here. What did you say to Lance just now?”Yvette was stunned. She was seen through by Nicole.That little smart alec.“How did you know?”“Do you really need to ask?” Nicole pursed her lips. “I’ve never seen you hold back your anger. Where did your prowess go?”Yvette paused and sighed.“I wasn’t trying to hold back, but there weren’t any serious consequences, so I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.”Nicole gnashed her teeth. “Don’t be stupid. You’re a master at identifying b*t
Yvette nodded in agreement.Nicole smiled. “So, it’s normal that you don’t know these things. No one asked you to learn, and they’re things that the people below will finish handling before handing them over to you. If you know everything, what would you need them for?”That was true.Hearing Nicole’s words, Yvette instantly felt better.Nicole lowered her head. “There’s no need to deliberately get on good terms with everyone. If a relationship is too good, it won’t be conducive to work, and you’ll have to take into account all kinds of favors. That’s exhausting!”Yvette nodded heavily and looked at Nicole with fascination.“Lil N, just let me follow you. I feel like working for you is much more useful than following Lance.”Nicole laughed. “Sure. As long as Mr. Sheldon is okay with it, I’ll welcome you with open arms.”Yvette sighed. “But my mom won’t agree. She wants me and Lance to improve our relationship, so she won’t give up these opportunities.”Nicole said, “That’s goo
Yvette was speechless and rubbed the place where Lance bumped into her, then forgave Lance.“It doesn’t hurt.”Lance looked at Nicole behind her and smiled. “Shall I walk you down?”Nicole said, “Of course, Mr. Sheldon.”She naturally knew that Lance was doing this for Yvette.Yvette’s attention was not focused on Lance at all.Everyone broke out in cold sweat.They watched as a world war disappeared.It was like their expectations were dashed.Someone spoke. “It’s because Mr. Sheldon wants to chase Ms. Stanton. That’s why he’s so reserved and gentlemanly!”Others echoed. “That’s right!”They did not understand the reason for Iris’s departure. The HR department was very tight-lipped and did not reveal a single word.Iris had blocked all her colleagues too, so no one could contact her.They suddenly realized that Iris, who was not competitive on the surface, actually had such a bad temper.Iris seemed quite different from the one they knew from the office.The three of th
Nicole covered her forehead and chuckled in the car. She told Clayton on WhatsApp about what had just happened.[Clayton Sloan: Fortunately, they got married early.][Nicole Stanton: Otherwise?][Clayton Sloan: They might cancel the wedding.][Nicole Stanton: Hahahahaha…]Yvette urged Luca to drive faster. Turning around, Yvette saw Nicole laughing while playing on her phone. She could not help but become speechless.“You’re with him every day. What else is there to talk about?”Nicole said, “Tons!”Yvette frowned. “You better keep in mind what I told you this morning!”Nicole put away her smile and nodded.“Don’t worry, she won’t find me.”Nicole’s current whereabouts had basically been erased. Except for the bodyguard following her, no one could find out where she was.They stopped at Tattle Bar.Nicole frowned slightly.“Why are we here?”Yvette hurriedly pulled her out of the car. “Let’s go go go. I have a surprise for you!”She could not hold back her excitement. T
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
