Julie scooped a spoonful from the tiramisu and fed it to Kai.“This is your treat.”Their eyes locked and set off a spark. Their bodies were entangled, and they were filled with passion.Although Julie was usually indifferent to Kai, once she responded, both their auras were overwhelming.They were both immersed in their own world when someone suddenly knocked at the door and came in.“Mr. Stanton…”Julie was still sitting on Kai’s lap, kissing him from time to time. She was blushing, which made her look even more charming.Her hair was messy, and Kai’s hands were wandering underneath her shirt.Fortunately, Kai knew that they were still at the office and only wanted to relieve his cravings.When they were suddenly interrupted by the person who came in, Julie panicked and buried her head in Kai’s arms. She did not dare to turn around.Kai was in a terrible mood since he was interrupted.“Get lost!”Before the person came in, he was already driven out.The manager who inter
Nicole’s belly grew bigger by the day.Nicole felt uneasy because she had never been a mother and had no experience in this aspect. Thus, she paid extra attention to every change in her body.In her last trimester of pregnancy, Nicole became a little temperamental. Even she herself felt that she was being unreasonable.When Nicole was alone with Clayton, she felt annoyed looking at him, but when he was not in sight, she felt angry.Due to that, Floyd picked Nicole up and took her back to the Stanton Mansion.Clayton did not say anything, packed his clothes, and stayed with Nicole.Floyd chattered with the butler all day long, but Nicole somehow felt relieved.Clayton also felt relieved. He would only go to the office once every few days. Most of the time, he would just work from home.The company was left to Kai, so Floyd was mentally prepared to lose money.Floyd had the least expectations for Kai. He only wanted Kai to keep the company afloat without going bankrupt until Gra
Kai’s words left Nicole speechless.It did seem to make sense.Julie could not help but let out a light laugh on the side. She looked at Kai.“Yeah. Dominic is so devoted to you, so all you have to do is sit back and count your money. Now you know that running a company isn’t that simple, huh?”When Julie said that, Kai wanted to retort but did not dare to. He just pouted his lips and sat next to her looking aggrieved.The anger Kai felt just now was almost gone.Nicole shook her head and looked at Kai.“How could there be anything in this world that could trouble my third brother? Kai, don’t die of rage just after a few days in the office…”Kai rolled his eyes. If Nicole was not pregnant, Kai would beat her up.“Do you think I’m a fool?!”He then looked at Julie aggrievedly.“You don’t believe in me either?”Julie smiled. Recently, she had been following Nicole’s routine at home, so had a rosy face and a great complexion.“Of course, I believe you. Big Brother and Lil N a
Julie looked at Nicole speechlessly.“You’re going to give birth in a few months. Isn’t it a little too late to be scared now?”Nicole pursed her lips and touched her chest. She could feel her heart pounding. “Well, I didn’t expect it to be so scary at first! I kinda regret it now…”Of course, Nicole did not dare to tell Clayton this.Thinking of Clayton, Nicole suddenly remembered.“You should go in first. I’ll give Clayton a call.”Julie let go of Nicole’s hand. They were already at the door to the ward, so they were just a few steps apart.“At this time, you still want to talk to Mr. Sloan? You’re just pregnant, but you have to report every little thing to him? The Global Hospital Research Association should definitely have your name on it!”Nicole ignored Julie’s sarcastic remark and anxiously told her to hurry inside.Julie stopped teasing Nicole and turned to go inside to see Aida.Nicole called Clayton and only told him that Aida was in labor.She did not say anything
Aida could not help but laugh a little. When Grant saw this, he took it over and put it in front of her.“Take it. If you don’t, all of us will get lectured.”Knowing that it was Floyd’s good intention, Aida did not refuse.Grant also gave Aida gifts from time to time, so she received them as she should.When Aida opened the box, she was stunned.There was a small jewelry box that had a set of emerald jewelry. The emerald was so green and clear. It was worth a lot of money.Such high-quality emerald was generally a collector’s favorite and would be worth at least a few hundred million dollars.Underneath the jewelry was a real estate deed worth tens of millions of dollars.This was such a generous gift that left them astonished.Grant also saw it and could not help but raise an eyebrow. His cold face carried some surprise.Aida was even more stunned. It would be fine if this was just ordinary jewelry, but the things in this box were too expensive.“Dad…”Nicole peeled an or
Floyd was still a little surprised to see Clayton.“Didn’t you go to the office?”Clayton accompanied Nicole every day and rarely took the time to go to the office. How did he appear again so soon?Clayton glanced at Nicole and smiled.“I heard that Aida was about to give birth. I was afraid that you guys would be too busy, so I came over to take care of Nicole.”Floyd took a deep breath.He looked at Nicole with a helpless gaze.This daughter of his was truly clingy!Luckily, Clayton was a good-tempered man. Otherwise, it would be annoying.Grant also laughed and shook his head.“Just as well, you should take Lil N back to rest. It won’t be so soon here…”Nicole shook her head. “I want to stay here and see Aida. Otherwise, I’ll be a mess in a few months if I’m not familiar with the process.”Everyone was dumbfounded and laughed.Evening.Floyd was about to leave first when Aida suddenly screamed in pain.Grant ran over at once.A minute later, his face changed drastica
On the road.Yvette complained to Nicole.“I just realized that being a powerhouse in senior management isn’t fun at all! It’s not at all like the old days. Lance surprisingly trusts me with a lot of important projects at once. Do you know how important those projects are? If I lose any one of them and my mother finds out, she’ll probably come over and beat me to death!”Nicole could not help but laugh. “Now, you have real power in your hands. Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?”Yvette pouted her lips. “I don’t even dare to say that this isn’t what I want now. I work overtime every day until past midnight. I feel so aggrieved! But once I go out and see the lights still on in Lance’s office, I don’t feel so bad anymore…”Nicole said, “I heard from Kai that you have some projects with him and that you did a good job! Mr. Sheldon is certainly assured enough for you to handle the important things.”Yvette sighed and looked toward the sky.“But it’s too tiring!”However, Yvette c
The lounge was quite simple with quite a few staff members coming and going. However, no one noticed Nicole’s sudden appearance.Nicole wore a wide trench coat and disguised herself as someone who came to visit the set.Julie went out to talk to the director before she had time to come back. “Coincidentally, you have two old friends here. Do you want to meet them?”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Old friends?”Julie nodded. “Harvey and Fabian, the male lead and supporting character in this show.”Nicole’s jaw dropped in shock. “These two people are filming the same show?”Julie nodded naturally. “Of course! What a rare sight, huh?”Nicole was secretly amazed.Although she did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry, she also knew about the fallout between these two actors.It was not only because of Falcon Entertainment’s change in focus but also because Fabian broke his contract and left. Fabian also failed to compete with Harvey for the Best Actor Award, wh
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
