Nicole’s lips curled up, but she did not take Clayton’s words to heart.However, Nicole did feel a lot better when Clayton was around.Suddenly, Clayton’s phone rang. He frowned and looked at it before turning to Nicole.“Wait for me while I take a call?”Nicole nodded.Clayton smiled and turned around, answering the call as he walked away. “Hello?”......After ten minutes.Out of nowhere, Nicole saw a somewhat familiar person hurrying out from one side.Even if Nicole did not want to see him, she already spotted him.Nicole narrowed her eyes, and the other party came up to her. “Hi, Ms. Stanton. Do you still remember me?”Nicole was not in the mood and gave him a perfunctory smile.“Xander, why are you here?”Back then, Xander was promoted because he looked a bit like Eric, but he was kicked out because he harassed the actress, Yuliana, while they were filming the variety show.Since then, Nicole rarely heard of Xander in the entertainment industry.However, she was no
A big crowd appeared in just a few minutes. It seemed like it was not only the fans who were Xander bought. Some reporters and fans who were picking up other celebrities were also attracted by the news of Nicole’s appearance.After all, compared to the semi-transparent private life of someone in the entertainment industry, Nicole, as the richest young woman in the world, was more attractive.The path in front was so crowded that it was hard to take a single step forward.To the side, Xander acted like a gentleman and helped her to block out the people who tried to pounce on them in excitement.Xander also knew that he was at fault and apologized in a low voice.“I really didn’t expect so many people to be here, Ms. Stanton. Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to clarify our relationship later on.”Nicole was so angry that she could not speak. She cursed him a million times in her heart but was still not relieved.She could only maintain a faint smile and walk outside, hoping that Clayton
Eric stood there with his blood surging as if there were only the two of them left in the world.When he looked at Nicole intently, everyone could see the infatuation in his eyes.People who were not aware of their situation would think that they were deeply in love.“Mr. Ferguson actually came?”“OMG, what kind of fairy tale is this? I thought I was in a TV show!”“Will they get back together?”......No one paid attention to Eric’s double, Xander.Xander was so embarrassed that his scalp tingled, but he was also worried about his future.Now that the real deal was here, what was the body double still standing there for?Just when everyone thought there would be explosive good news, they suddenly saw a group of bodyguards force open a path in the crowd, interrupting the tension.Then, they saw another one of Nicole’s rumored boyfriends, Clayton Sloan.Clayton was tall, well-built, gentle, and modest as he walked over. He did not deliberately hide from the cameras, and he h
Eric was clear. He came prepared this time.Eric personally went to Felix for him to reluctantly agree to do Floyd’s operation.Nicole’s feet paused, and her expression changed. Her gaze became conflicted.A trace of pain and forbearance flashed in her eyes.Nicole was willing to leave with Eric because she could not ignore Floyd’s life.Before Eric could be happy, Clayton turned around with a smile and held her hand tightly. He spoke with a tone that was neither light nor heavy.“You still have the nerve to threaten her when you’re taking advantage of her difficult situation?”The crowd could see the tension between the two men who were engaged in a silent battle.The crowd was silent and still.This scene captured on film looked like the fight of the century.Eric laughed, a little wantonly, and said shamelessly.“Taking advantage of someone’s difficulties also depends on whether I have the capability to do so. After all, it’s useless to play the emotional card. We still d
It was Eric. He was still unwilling to let go, so he chased after Nicole. She was clearly his, so how could he allow Clayton to take her away?It was just one day. Why was she refusing to satisfy him?A chill crossed Clayton’s eyes. He smiled and slowly wound down the window.Through the gap, Eric could not see anything but Clayton.Clayton looked at Eric mockingly, making no secret of his disdain for him.“Mr. Ferguson, keep those despicable thoughts to yourself and stop having ideas about my woman.”“Your woman?”Eric’s tone was cold and stern, and he gritted his teeth.‘Hmph! His woman? How ridiculous! Nicole is clearly mine!’ Eric thought.Clayton’s dark eyes fell on Eric. There seemed to be some pity.“Eric, face the reality. You were the one who pushed away Nicole time and time again. You were the one who abandoned her. She didn’t do anything to wrong you and will never stay put just to wait for you.”“Clayton, save your cynical remarks. You stole her from me!”Eric l

Elio’s words completely reassured Nicole.His casual attitude made people feel like this was not a major operation and was something easy. It made Nicole relax all of a sudden.Indeed, to Elio, this was not a big deal.If not for Clayton’s introduction, Nicole would not believe that this unassuming young man actually had such deep knowledge and mastery.The atmosphere in the car was light and relaxed until they arrived at the hospital. Elio did not mention any additional conditions such as rest and went directly to the ward to ask for Floyd’s test reports in the past few days.Elio did not spare any data from the examination.Director Sven did not recognize Elio at first.However, seeing the way Elio devoted himself so seriously, Clayton pulled Elio to the side to introduce him.“This is Professor Phillip’s junior, Professor Elio Cosenza.”Director Sven froze. The next second, he suddenly stood up straight, startling everyone.“You’re Elio Cosenza?!”Elio nodded calmly and l
Clayton said it as if it was extraordinarily simple.Director Sven gave him a thumbs up in admiration. His eyes shone brightly.“Don’t worry. Chairman Stanton’s health will be fine now. Elio is our light at the end of the tunnel!”Director Sven breathed another sigh of relief as he spoke and turned around to go inside to admire Elio again.Nicole stood there and looked at Clayton.“So, you already made preparations?”Nicole could not say whether she was excited or calm.Clayton pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.“I’m sorry for not telling you since the beginning. I didn’t expect it either. I only felt that something was off when I heard Director Sven mention Felix Ferguson.”Nicole said, “What was off?”Clayton raised his brows. “Actually, I invested in Professor Phillip’s medical team a few years ago and gave them several hundred million dollars a year to tackle medical problems. I almost forgot about them… When Professor Phillip passed away, his work was halted because 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
