The ward was quiet.They were all waiting for Nicole’s answer.Nicole lowered her eyes and nodded her head.The doctors revealed a bright smile.“Ms. Stanton, this is a blessing in disguise. The previous blood clot that didn’t dissipate is completely gone now. You only have a slight concussion, so you’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”Everyone in the ward, except Clayton, looked relieved and delighted.In the two days that Nicole was in a coma, the doctors spent a lot of effort and were afraid that there was nothing they could do.Nicole looked at Clayton.The man’s eyes were dark, so she could not see through his emotions. Was it heartache or sympathy?It was very painful for Nicole to remember those things, so Clayton would rather Nicole even forget himself than let her go through that excruciating pain once again.Thus, it might not be a good thing for Nicole to regain her memory.Would she still be as carefree as before?Once the doctors went out, Nicole held out he
Kai immediately took out his phone. “I’ll get someone from home to send something over and tell them the good news too.”He said as he walked out. His steps were much lighter.When Kai came back, he looked at Clayton and said, “Clayton, do you want to grab something to eat? That Singaporean restaurant downstairs is pretty good!”Clayton shook his head. “I’m not hungry.”The corner of Kai’s mouth twitched as he thought, ‘Clayton hasn’t eaten for two days. How can he not be hungry?’Before Kai could say anything, Nicole tugged on Clayton’s shirt and tilted her head. Her eyes lit up. “You should go to that restaurant and buy me a bowl of porridge. Their porridge is really good!”Clayton’s gaze softened in an instant. “You wanna eat that?”Nicole nodded her head.“Okay, wait here. I’ll buy it for you.”Clayton tucked her into bed before he went out feeling reassured.Kai slowly walked over and sat in front of Nicole.He looked like he wanted to speak.Kai could never control hi
Kai looked at Nicole’s reaction with confusion and thought, ‘This shouldn’t be her reaction!’“Aren’t you surprised? Clayton’s approach is so different from his usual style!”Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows. “I’m not surprised. Isn’t this a normal reaction?”Kai was speechless and thought, ‘Am I the only one who was shocked by the whole thing?’Nicole rolled her eyes.“Kai, you’ve really learned nothing from being in the entertainment industry for so long. How can you look at people so superficially? How can I not know what kind of person my husband is? To me, nothing he does can cover the fact that he’s a sincere and kind person. The rest is not important to me either.”Before the wedding, Floyd and Grant had already talked to Nicole about it.They comprehensively analyzed what kind of person Clayton was.Regardless of how well Nicole knew him, she felt that loving him was worthwhile.Kai pursed his lips. He was completely convinced.Clayton’s actions only shocked him.Nicole
In less than half a month, almost everyone got the news that Nicole had recovered and would soon return to the office.Kai also gradually handed over the work in his hands back to Grant and Nicole.He was really relieved.The day Kai left Stanton Corporation, he wanted to jump up in joy and celebrate his freedom.Nicole chose one of the days to go to the office to organize some materials.She went early in the morning and attended three or four meetings back to back.Originally, Nicole just wanted to sit in for a while and leave, but she could not get away.She was career-minded again. Previously, she was mentally stuck in her teens and only knew how to have fun. Thus, now that she regained her memory, she knew her priorities.It was already evening by the time she got off work.Unconsciously, it felt like the old days again.Clayton called her a few times. He went to the office for a while and went home to spend time with Chatty since she was especially clingy to Clayton. Sh
Even if this cooperation would have good returns for the time being, Stanton Corporation would not get more benefits in the long run.Once Stanton Corporation relied on J&L Corporation’s core technology, it would be difficult to get out and develop by themselves.Thus, Nicole did not expect much from the cooperation between the two sides.She had her own plans to develop her own core technology.Gerard looked at Nicole with a smile. “It’s on the way anyway. We can talk more as well. Ms. Stanton, you won’t refuse to even spare a few minutes, right?”“Of course not. I’ve been negligent lately. Next time, I’ll definitely make time for you, Mr. Lichman.”Nicole smiled and spoke.Gerard smiled meaningfully, raised his eyebrows, and took the initiative to press the elevator button. He then bowed and extended his hand like a gentleman.“Ms. Stanton, please…”Nicole smiled and followed.Logan did not follow them.Inside the elevator.It was not exactly quiet.Gerard said, “Ms. Sta
Gerard felt that he had already tried his best to bring Nicole to Eric, since the people in Stanton Corporation were all wary of him, especially Nicole’s assistant, Logan, who was preventing this situation.Looking from a distance, Gerard felt that the two people seemed to be from different worlds. They did not seem to fit together at all.The past is long gone.Eric looked at Nicole with his bloodshot eyes that were strongly suppressing his surging emotions.However, under Nicole’s calm and indifferent gaze, Eric also had to act composed.Eric hooked his lips. “It’s fine if you don’t remember. We can get reacquainted…”He stretched out his hand, nervously waiting for her reaction.After a short silence, Nicole slowly lifted her eyelids and let out a light laugh.“There’s no need for that. Let’s wait until I recover my memory because how would I know that you’re a good person?”After saying that, Nicole looked past Eric to glance at Gerard, who was leaning against the car be
Yvette could hear the sound of a lighter over the phone. Lance seemed to be smoking.She paused for a while and felt that she could not remain calm when she chatted with Lance. According to her past experience, it was too easy to get herself in trouble.“I’m with Nicole. Didn’t I tell you earlier?”Yvette wanted to end the call quickly, so she took the initiative to speak.“Do you not trust me and want to check up on me?”Lance stayed silent for a few seconds. He let out a light laugh that was somewhat cold.“Nicole?”“Yeah!”Yvette answered boldly.Lance took a deep breath to calm himself down, and Yvette suddenly had a bad feeling about this.Before she could say anything, Lance said, “Wait a sec, I’ll get Nicole to speak to you.”After saying that, Lance handed over his phone to the person next to him. “Excuse me, will you have a word with Yvette?”Yvette froze for a moment, and her body stiffened.She suddenly felt like she was done for.In the next second, a familiar
Yvette was stunned.Another person also nodded and spoke.“That’s right. What’s an ex-girlfriend anyway? She clearly wants to get back together with Mr. Sheldon. Otherwise, why would she pick our company out of so many companies out there? It’s obvious that she doesn’t have any good intentions!”“Yeah! She definitely has an ulterior motive. Recently, she’s been making friends everywhere in the company and inquiring about your affairs, but I didn’t reveal anything!”“Tell me about it! We’re always on your side, Ms. Quimbey. How can that woman compare to you? You can crush her to death in a second!”“Ms. Quimbey, don’t worry. Since she joined our company, Mr. Sheldon hasn’t spoken to her privately. I’m keeping an eye on them for you!”......Yvette just felt like someone punched her in the face.She was dumbfounded for a moment.Through their conversation, Yvette figured out that Lance’s ex-girlfriend joined Sheldon Corporation, yet she was completely kept in the dark about it.
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
