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
Nicole finally disappeared from Eric’s life.God seemed to have played a joke on Eric.This opportunity was delivered to him and then taken away again.Why?Was Eric being tested?Felix backtracked and did not want to come over. When Felix learned that Elio came, he was so angry that he changed flights in the airport and did not touch down in Mediania at all.Felix was jealous of that genius, the junior that Professor Phillip was biased toward.After an unknown amount of time, the people in the operating room finally came out.Eric heard someone say, “The operation was a great success.”Eric stood there and seemed to sigh in relief. He leaned against the wall, and his body seemed to be drained of strength as if a taut string was broken.His hands clenched and unclenched as he listened to the laughter over there. In the end, he chose to leave in loneliness.What right did he have to appear in front of Nicole?When Eric went out, the sun was shining brightly outside. He felt
Mitchell opened his mouth. “All the choices you made were rational and correct, but Ms. Stanton doesn’t need rationality. At the most dangerous moments, I think what she needs is unwavering favoritism.”Eric fell silent and did not move.Mitchell gritted his teeth. “President, you have never favored Ms. Stanton, so why are you being so persistent?”What Mitchell was unable to figure out the most was why Eric wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to pursue Nicole again.How could Nicole compromise on someone who took advantage of her difficulties?Nicole would only get more repulsed by Eric.If Eric really wanted to ease their relationship, he should have taken the initiative to let Felix come over to treat Floyd’s illness.However, Eric did not.The chance was right in front of him, but Eric threw it away.Mitchell was speechless.It felt like Eric forced himself into a dead end and could no longer turn around.Mitchell stood there and could see the veins on Eric’s ne
Eric simply handed over Ferguson Corporation’s domestic business. Even if many others were better than Mitchell, no one was more loyal than him.More importantly, Mitchell being in that position would not create any conflict with Stanton Corporation.Eric also selfishly thought that he could get to know more about Nicole’s thoughts about him through Mitchell.He was even a little jealous of Mitchell.Eric, who seemed to have everything, was jealous of a mere assistant.Before getting on the plane, Eric sent a text message, turned off his phone, and left.Meanwhile, in the hospital.Floyd’s surgery was successful, but he was still unconscious.However, everyone was visibly excited.Due to the long wait, Aida was too tired and went back to rest.Grant was talking to Elio about the recovery. Kai was so happy that he ran to Floyd’s ward and kissed his father several times before he was dragged out by Director Sven.Nicole and Clayton were eating. To be precise, Nicole was the on
Nicole shook her head and struggled to gather her spirits.“I’m gonna wait for Dad to wake up because I want him to see me first. I can’t let Kai beat me to it!”Clayton could not understand this strange infighting between Nicole and Kai.After Floyd woke up, Elio Cosenza gave the hospital Floyd’s treatment procedure and left.Nicole did not even know when Elio had left.“I didn’t thank him properly yet. I should treat him to a meal or give him some funding for his research or something…”Nicole lamented with Clayton.Clayton said, “Don’t worry. I’ve compensated him well. He has another patient to attend to and can’t be away for too long.”Nicole nodded understandingly. Her troubles were soon swept away because Floyd was awake.As soon as Floyd opened his eyes, he did not have time to lament life when Kai shook him until his head was dizzy.Floyd was so angry that his breathing became heavier.“You little brat! Are you afraid that I’ll live too long?!”Kai came up to him ag
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
