Falcon thought that Clayton was hiding, so he ordered his people to look for Clayton.Now, Clayton showed up and had even investigated the matter.It turned out that the culprit was Tyler, who wanted to cooperate with him.Although Falcon liked money and power, he would not take his brothers’ death lightly.He would not sit idly by.Clayton did not care what Falcon wanted to do.If it was not for Nicole, Clayton would not even bother about this matter.However, since Nicole was involved, Clayton would not let that person get away with it no matter what.Nicole paused. She suddenly remembered something and turned around.“The two Ferguson women are innocent. Can you please let them go?”Although Ingrid was head over heels in love with Tyler, Quinn did not seem willing to stay here.If Ingrid and Quinn could leave, Eric might not be put in such a passive position.Nicole did not have any feelings for them. She just thought that they were two innocent lives, so she had no choi
Clayton’s assistant was puzzled. “Mr. Sloan, Falcon won’t let them go so easily. Not to mention, Mr. Ferguson and Tyler are now on the same side…”Clayton interrupted him impatiently.“Even if Falcon won’t let them go, it won’t prevent Eric from rescuing them. Just tell him.”The assistant sighed.“Do you also pity Mr. Ferguson? A domineering president like him has now resorted to cooperating with a bunch of criminals… Why bother? It’s pointless for you to tell him the location of his relatives since he won’t appreciate it anyway…”“Shut up. Why are you talking so much today?”Clayton frowned and glanced at him somewhat strangely.The assistant paused.Although he still had a lot to say, he dared not utter another word.He somehow sensed that Clayton’s attitude toward Eric seemed to be different, as if Clayton was showing Eric mercy.However, it was clear that Clayton did not intend to tell him the reason for his change in attitude.Falcon’s Villa.The thin man was maimed u
Ingrid and Quinn sneaked out from Falcon’s villa.There were not many houses on that road.In the dark, the two women were running as fast as they could along the road.They did not know how long they had been running.Suddenly, a car with blinding headlights appeared in front of them.When they saw the people inside, Quinn’s and Ingrid’s expressions changed dramatically. A sense of despair came over them.The person inside the car said with a cold voice, “Take them back.”......Mediania.Clayton and Nicole got off the plane and saw Grant, who had been waiting there for a long time.Nicole secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she did not see anyone else with Grant, which meant that Grant did not tell anyone about her situation.Grant glanced at Nicole and did not scold her. Instead, he looked at Clayton and asked, “Is it resolved?”Clayton nodded calmly.“Someone deliberately set us up for the accident in SF Corporation, but it’s easy to solve. It’ll just take some tim
Nicole pushed open the car door by herself and saw Clayton standing there, looking tall and handsome.The gentle smile on his face as he looked at her concealed the coldness from before.It seemed that Clayton’s conversation with Grant did not affect his mood.‘Grant didn’t scold him at all?’ Nicole thought.She got out of the car, ran over, and hugged Clayton tightly.Clayton’s chest moved as he let out a low chuckle. He patted her on the shoulder and said, “Babe, if you hug me any longer, Big Brother will regret not beating me up earlier in the car...”Nicole froze slightly and reluctantly let go of Clayton.She was too tired and sleepy on the plane, so she did not get to hug him earlier.Moreover, her conversation with Aida just now suddenly made her feel a strong sense of dependence on Clayton.Nicole stood up straight. When she loosened her grip, Clayton lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently and fondly. She felt like she was electrocuted.No one seemed to notic
After a while, Nicole finally got her wish and managed to hug Chatty’s soft body.Her heart instantly melted.Chatty generously gave her a slobbery kiss, which made Nicole feel like laughing and crying.After all, she should not feel disgusted with her own daughter.During the meal, Tigger played with Chatty.They were not at all worried because Tigger would always stand behind Chatty and act as a pillow when Chatty was about to fall.Tigger, the stupid tiger, thought that Chatty was teasing him, so he ran around endlessly with a small toy in his mouth, trying to make Chatty crawl and chase after him.After the meal, Floyd summoned Clayton to the study for a chat.Grant did not join them. Instead, he took Aida with him to pick up Levi from school.Kai leaned over to Nicole and said, “Did you really go to Yvette’s place yesterday? Why didn’t I see you on Yvette’s social media then?”If Nicole was there, Yvette would not have let her out.Nicole’s heart clenched, and she glare
Nicole and Clayton had been restraining their love for each other all day.When they finally had time alone, they did not push each other away.They embraced each other tightly and expressed their love for each other through their kiss.Clayton seemed to have become a new person. He tried to restrain his strength, but he could not express his emotions properly if he was gentle.When Clayton took Nicole back from Falcon, he never asked her if she was afraid of him at that moment.He was afraid of her answer.So, he changed his question to, “do you miss me?”The surroundings were so quiet that they could hear the clock ticking.Nicole was tired from standing, and her legs felt weak. She could only stand up because Clayton was supporting her waist.Clayton was reluctant to let go of her, so he carried her bridal style back to their bedroom.They finally kissed without hesitation.Clayton seemed to be more aggressive than usual and showed her no mercy.Nicole pushed him weakly
Nicole also noticed this disparity.“Can’t she eat solid food yet? Otherwise, you should’ve fed her milk a little earlier…”Clayton smiled and touched Chatty’s little head.“I thought that you’d feel better watching her eat with us in the morning, so I asked her to wait for you.”Chatty was speechless.Nicole lowered her head and ate with Clayton silently, pretending not to see Chatty’s pitiful eyes.Perhaps it was because Chatty was too cute and pitiful that Nicole did not continue to torture her.After taking a few bites, Nicole put down her cutlery and carried Chatty’s chubby little body to the living room.Chatty was still reluctant to let go of her milk bottle. She held the baby bottle in one hand and Nicole’s face in the other, then kissed Nicole’s face from time to time.She held Nicole’s pinky and felt very happy because Mommy and Daddy were by her side.Nicole did not plan to go out today, but the weather was nice, so she invited Julie and Aida to come over for lunch
Mitchell was also helpless regarding Quinn and Ingrid.“The information we got earlier is consistent with what Mr. Sloan told us. Madam Ferguson and Ms. Ferguson are in Falcon’s hands. But the day before Falcon returned to South Africa, the two of them suddenly disappeared. They searched everywhere, but there was no news of Mrs. Ferguson and Miss Ferguson. I presume that they escaped on their own…?”This would be the best scenario, escaping by themselves without falling into anyone’s hands.Eric’s face was cold, and his eyes were dark.“If they ran away, why didn’t they contact us? How far can they run anyway?”Even if Ingrid was stupid, Quinn should understand that only Eric could protect them.However, to this day, no one contacted him.Their people could not find Quinn’s and Ingrid’s whereabouts either.This was a little strange.Mitchell was silent.“Did Tyler find out? Perhaps he got to them first?”Eric’s face was stern for a moment. He was trying to suppress the surgi
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
