Ian showed no mercy and embarrassed that girl.When Ian went closer, he saw Clayton.“You’re here too?”Clayton shrugged his shoulders and looked like he had bad luck.That girl’s eyes flickered.“Second Young Master, you know each other? Why don’t you introduce me to your friend?”Ian looked at the girl contemptuously.He finally understood that girl’s motive for approaching him.Ian was repulsed by such a purpose. Initially, he thought that she looked decent and brought her over for fun.Since that girl was so untactful, Ian did not mind kicking her to the curb.“Introduce you? Are you trying to sell your body?”The girl’s face turned white. Her delicate smile froze, and she could barely hold it together.Clayton’s expression turned cold. “You guys can talk. I’ll leave first.”Ian made way for Clayton. “Take care…”Clayton nodded, then indifferently lifted his feet and left.That girl reluctantly looked at Clayton’s back and bit her lower lip tightly.Ian laughed. “Yo
Nicole rolled her eyes and smiled lightly.“Sure, we’re leaving anyway.”They could go together.Nicole wanted to see what else that girl would do even if she was there.Before a smile could surface on that delicate girl’s face, the man beside Nicole immediately stopped them.“No, this has nothing to do with us, so we shouldn’t meddle.”That girl’s face stiffened a little.Nicole was also a little surprised.“It’s on the way…”Clayton shook his head. His side profile looked cold and stern as he wrapped his arm around Nicole’s shoulders and took a few steps forward. He explained to her in a whisper.“She’s here to fish for a sugar daddy. She’s not a good person. Even Mr. Carter said so, so don’t trust her. She’s what they call a manipulative scheming b*tch that specializes in destroying people’s families. You have to stay away from her!”Nicole froze in place.She never thought that Clayton would say this.Nicole blinked and suddenly felt like they swapped places.Shouldn’
Clayton and Nicole waited until the driver came.Nicole sat in the car and looked at Clayton.Clayton sighed and got into the car.“I don’t know this woman at all. I don’t have any impression of her. Who the hell is she? Did she send you this photo? She must be jealous that we have a good relationship and deliberately wanted to destroy our relationship. You can’t fall for it! You should stay away from these people…”Nicole blinked.For some reason, her heart suddenly felt delighted.Nicole did not suspect Clayton from the beginning.She just wanted to see his reaction.Sure enough, Clayton did not let her down.Seeing his distressed face, Nicole put down her phone and laughed.“Forget it. I’m just teasing you…”Clayton looked at her and smiled helplessly. He hugged her shoulders and sighed, then reached out to touch her belly.“You only know how to bully me, huh? Is the baby behaving today?”Nicole proudly touched her own belly. “It’s very obedient tonight. The music was s
Floyd stayed in the study for several days.Finally, he came up with a name that he was very satisfied with – Sue Sloan.When Nicole heard it, she was stunned. “Sue? Dad, do you want my baby to get involved in endless lawsuits after she’s born?”The corners of Clayton’s mouth twitched, but he held back from saying anything.Kai could not hold back and sprayed a mouthful of water.“Dad, I know you’re into alliteration, but do you want the baby to be ridiculed in school?”Floyd was so angry that he went back to his study.After thinking about the baby’s name for several days, they still did not come to a final decision.However, Nicole’s due date came early.Nicole was looking at the new proposal when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.Something did not feel right.She hurriedly called someone. They had long prepared for all these.Clayton was quite calm. He called the hospital to prepare the room in advance, then informed Floyd, Kai, and the rest. Clayton got into the
There was silence in the air.Kai suddenly did not know how he should persuade Clayton.If Clayton continued to stay here, he would collapse.Nicole’s coma was a heavy blow to them all.No one expected that such an accident would happen to her.Nicole had a rare blood type, which made childbirth more dangerous for her.In a situation like this, they could only hope that Nicole would get better.Kai sighed. He tried his best to distract Clayton with something else. “Dad gave the baby a nickname. He called her Chatty because she likes to make noise…”Clayton paused, then let out a low chuckle. “Okay, Dad can make the call. It’s much better than I expected…”Kai laughed. “It sure is…”After a pause, Kai spoke again. “Go get some sleep. We’ll keep watch here. Otherwise, you’ll collapse before Nicole wakes up. Do you want the hospital to take care of another person?”Clayton was silent for a moment. He nodded slightly, slowly stood up, and straightened his clothes.“Okay. I’ll
Mitchell’s body stiffened. He nodded slightly, then glanced at the door of the ward before he silently turned around to leave.He did not take out the small box in his pocket.Eric told him to pass it on.Why bother?Would a gift make everything better?Or was it just to let Nicole know that Eric was still thinking about her?Mitchell sighed and could not help but quicken his pace.......Clayton took a short nap at home. When he opened his eyes, it was already late at night.He looked at the empty room and the dark sky outside. He could not help but be lost in thought for a moment.It was as if in the next second, Nicole would come in from the living room with a smile as she leaned next to him and asked him.“Are you hungry?”Clayton’s chest tightened. His breathing felt heavy.He grabbed his phone and went to the hospital.On the way there, he received a call from his assistant.“Mr. Sloan, there are several projects that are suspended. Should we continue to make inves
After Nicole finished speaking, she pushed Clayton away and ran past him with her head down.Clayton froze in place for a long time.He had not yet returned to his senses.After a long time, Clayton slowly turned around and saw Nicole walk back again from the opposite side in confusion.Nicole stopped a few meters away from him.Her eyes were watery and delicate, making her look so pitiful. “Why am I in the hospital? And who are you?”Clayton’s lips were pressed into a straight line.His voice was a bit hoarse as he carefully probed.“You don’t remember me?”Nicole pursed her lips. She looked very innocent, and she wanted to size him up again.She was very satisfied with his looks, but she could not make it seem like she was desperate for men.Otherwise, it would be so degrading.However, the man in front of her was so gentle and reserved. He was just her type.She simply could not take her eyes off of him.“I don’t know you. Where are my father and brothers?”Nicole lif
What’s wrong was that Clayton was out here.Didn’t Clayton want to be with Nicole at all times?Why was Clayton waiting outside when Nicole was awake?Clayton did not look as surprised as Kai imagined either.Clayton’s face froze for a moment after Kai asked that question.He pursed his lips.“She’s not fully recovered. Let’s wait for the doctor’s results…”Kai wrinkled his brows. He could not understand Clayton’s words.What did Clayton mean by not fully recovered?All that mattered was that Nicole was awake!However, Kai did not think too much about it and pushed the door open to walk in.“Baby sister…”Kai happily opened his mouth and was ready to give Nicole a big bear hug.However, when Kai saw the doctors’ sullen and serious faces, his heart instantly dropped.Oh no.He had a bad feeling about this.Nicole sat on the side of the hospital bed and swung her feet as she smiled gently.“Little K, I gave Dad the love letter that you wrote to that actress!”Nicole’s s
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
