Logan immediately reacted and explained that he was not the one who opened the door for Kai.Kai wanted to smash the door, so who dared to stop him?After all, Kai was going to sit in Grant’s position in the future.Logan could not afford to offend Kai and Nicole.Thus, even if Kai broke the door, no one dared to go up and stop him.Nicole paused, cleared her throat, and turned off her phone.“Kai, you have to pay for it. Logan, buy that German marble door that I liked last time and bill it to my third brother.”Logan was stunned. Nicole was not the slightest bit angry. Rather, her eyes had a hint of joy and a smug smile.Instantly, Logan understood.“Yes, President.”“Are you trying to scare me? You didn’t call Julie just now, right?”Kai could not care less about the door. When he was knocking on the door earlier, he suddenly had an epiphany.How could there be such a coincidence?Nicole must be lying to him.She just wanted to see a good show.This little liar really
Kai was really worried just now. Was he asking too much this time, so that’s why Julie suddenly ran so far away?Nicole glanced at Kai and saw that he was really worried.“I’m not going to say anything. You two clearly like each other, so why would I want you to break up?”Kai sighed in relief and smiled.“So, what did she say? Did you explain to her that I didn’t flirt with that girl?”Nicole let out a light laugh and looked at him.“Was I blind then?”She saw it with her own eyes, yet he dared to say it was not true?Kai touched his nose in guilt.“It’s my first day in the office, so I ought to be on good terms with everyone, right? I have to leave a good impression on everyone. Otherwise, should I be like the cold-faced Grant, walking around like everyone owes him money?”Kai had a plan for his professional persona.Even if he could not be as radiant as he was in the entertainment industry, he could not forgo his persona and must still be the center of attention.There w
Kai’s eyes sank for a moment as he wrinkled his brows.“She was drunk as hell! Is that called knowing her limit? I know that the few films she invested in recently have all gone bust, either because of problems with the actors or because the film was held back from release. I know she’s upset, but there’s no need to be so concerned about the money.”Nicole looked at him steadily.“Why shouldn’t she care? If our investment keeps losing money, we’ll be anxious too!”“How much does she even have there?” Kai blurted out. “Why does she need to put in so much effort?”Nicole frowned at him.“Turns out you guys have different world views, huh?”“What did you say?” Kai retorted.Nicole let out a light laugh. “First of all, it’s not a small amount of money. It’s just a small amount of money to you. This is Julie’s money and effort. She didn’t take a penny from you, so what gives you the right to look down on her?”“When did I look down on her? I’m willing to give her my money, but she
The old man snorted coldly. “Now, the company’s books look horrible. There’s no profit at all. It looks like tens of thousands of employees in the company are going to lose their jobs. To save the company, I decided to suspend the business and rectify the company’s management.”He spoke with full confidence.The man was not afraid of opposition.Clayton calmly sat across from him and smiled.“Then how do you plan to rectify it? Even if you have all of Quavon’s shares, you’re not the largest shareholder. So, I’m afraid that you don’t have a say in the rectification of the company’s management.”The old man laughed like he was sneering.“Clayton, you still don’t know, right? Now, the top and middle management have collectively submitted their resignation letters. They’re asking you to give up your position as President. It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree to suspend the business. You can wait for them to resign. That way, the whole company will go on strike and the projects will s
The old man saw that Clayton was so focused on women, so he became even more disdainful.Clayton was still too young and valued his feelings more than his life.“Have you thought it through? Medianian women are easy to fool. As long as you coax her, she won’t care about Sloan Corporation’s current situation.”The professional manager on the side wanted to say something. His face was taut as he looked at the old man and then at Clayton, but finally chose to keep his mouth shut.Clayton placed his phone on the table with its screen facing down and spoke in a cold tone.“In that case, dismiss all those department heads who submitted their resignation letters!”In an instant, the air became stagnant and tense.The old man raised his eyebrows. “What did you say?”Clayton sneered. “If they want to leave, no one can stop them, so they can leave if they want to. It’ll be superfluous even if we keep them.”“Do you deliberately not want the company to do well anymore?”The old man pinn
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Clayton finished those words, turned around, and left.Clayton did not care that the old man’s face turned white. The old man’s breathing also became rapid.Many of the people here were just there to watch the drama.However, once they are targeted, would they really dare to fight against Clayton’s people?The acting president got up and chased them out.The rest of the people were starting to worry about their own situations.To be honest, they could not afford the consequences of checking the accounts.It would turn out to be very bad.Back then, someone persuaded them.They dared to do so because Clayton had shifted his focus to Mediania, and he had given up control of Sloan Corporation.Now, it seems that this was not the case at all.The rest of the people began to be apprehensive. “What should we do? Should we still resign?”“I still need to feed my family of five! If I really resign, how can I feed them? Should they go hungry? Is it to
Clayton was silent for a moment before he spoke indifferently.“Those who want to leave will definitely take away some people, so don’t force them to say. Continue to pay salaries to the rest that stay until we’re back on track. I’ll get third-party agencies from Mediania and Liberty to cooperate and check the company’s accounts. When the time comes, you’ll have more work to do.”The acting president waved his hand with a bitter smile. “I don’t get my annual salary for nothing. No worries, but... The accounts can’t be checked out overnight.”Clayton’s eyes flickered as he looked at the acting president. “The accounts won’t be clear, just stop when you see fit.”“What do you mean by that?”Clayton laughed lightly. “Clean out the entire senior management. Find out those who colluded with the Sloan family in private and fire those who betray the interests of the company. This company is rotten from the core. If you want to bring it back to life, you have to cut out the rot. Even if i
This project supervisor was recommended by HR because of his good performance.He had only been on the job for a year when he came across this opportunity. In the past when he was at the bottom level, he also did this quite often.Who knew that this time, he would be so unlucky that the partner was so adamant and refused to pay a penny more?Thus, he tore up the agreement himself.The next day, he was called to Nicole’s office.Nicole’s phone suddenly rang and interrupted this conversation.Nicole glanced at them, withdrew her cold gaze, and turned to pick up the video call with a smile.“Hello?”The four supervisors in front of Nicole watched as Nicole’s mood turned 180-degree. They then sighed with relief.All of them were secretly wiping away their sweat.Nicole noticed their actions and did not make a sound.She did not even bother to let them leave for a while.Clayton’s handsome face appeared in the video call. He smiled faintly.“I didn’t disturb you, right?”Nicol
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
