In Floyd’s perspective, Clayton had a bad habit of a businessman’s selfishness. However, Clayton did not grow up in Mediania and was educated in Liberty.However, as long as Floyd carefully trained Clayton, Clayton would definitely become an excellent and patriotic young entrepreneur in time.Nicole chuckled, pulled Clayton, and stood up.“Okay, let’s stop talking about this. If we continue, Dad will start giving a speech.”Floyd glared at Nicole. His eyes swept across the pile of gifts at the door.He hurriedly beckoned to the butler.“Return these back to the Lindstroms. We can’t accept these.”The butler responded and turned to leave.Nicole paused. “Wait a minute. Let’s wait for the news before returning them. If we return the gifts now, the Lindstroms will feel uneasy.”Floyd nodded solemnly.“Okay, let’s do as you say.”At the hotel.When Tyler got the news, he smashed everything in the room in a fit of anger.He was furious.“What do you mean by you failed to bomb
Nicole was not shocked or scared when she saw Tyler. She smiled calmly. Her expression was indifferent to conceal her emotions.“Why should I hide? What’s there to be scared of?”Tyler was interested in Nicole and sat across from her.“Aren’t you afraid of me? I caught your friends last time. Didn’t Clayton tell you about me?”He seemed to be asking Nicole if she was afraid of him, but he kept mentioning Clayton.Nicole smiled and pretended not to understand him.“This is a country with a rule of law. You and your subordinates acting tough is no threat to me. You can only attack in secret, so would you dare to touch me in such a public place?”Tyler was stunned for a moment, then he smiled deeply and meaningfully.“Ms. Stanton, you’re just as straightforward as the legend says. How did a b*stard like Clayton manage to marry you? Putting aside his clean and innocent-looking face that can deceive women, he’s actually very insidious!”Nicole snorted lightly and shook her head.I
After Tyler finished his sentence, he felt a little more unwilling to let go of Nicole. It was a pity that he could not get his hands on her.He initially just thought that Nicole was pretty.Later, he realized that she had such a bold and bright personality, and she was not afraid of anything.Now, Tyler felt that she was pure yet bad and a little shrewd. She was an irresistible little minx.How could Eric let go of such a woman?Tyler would have tied Nicole to his bed if he were Eric.He waved his hand, and the bodyguard immediately gave way to Nicole.Nicole stepped on her high heels and left in disdain.It looked like she did not want to have any dealings with a scumbag like him.Tyler’s subordinate stepped forward in confusion.“Boss, be careful. It might be a trap!”Tyler rolled his eyes at him, smiled, shook his head, and said with certainty, “No, Clayton won't let her dig a hole for me because he’s very protective of this woman. He might not even know that his woman
Seeing that Clayton wanted to continue asking, Nicole coughed and beckoned to him.“Come here, let me give you a kiss first.”Clayton paused and looked at her deeply, but the tips of his ears unconsciously turned red. some.He walked over obediently, and his eyes darkened. He did not say anything else.Nicole cupped Clayton’s face and gently kissed his lips. Just when she wanted to let go, Clayton suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in so that she was glued to his body.This light peck became an endless kiss.After this kiss, the two of them were panting, and their faces were flushed. Fortunately, they stopped in time.After all, this was the Stanton Mansion, so they could not go overboard.Luckily, Floyd and Mr. Anderson did not come out to interrupt them. Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing.Nicole opened her eyes to look at Clayton. Her eyes were watery, glimmering, and charming.This was such a difficult test of self-control for Clayton.Just whe
The living room fell silent.Nicole could not bear it anymore and glanced at Mrs. Lindstrom.“Mrs. Lindstrom, if you paid attention to international affairs, you’d know that carrying guns in South Africa isn’t illegal. Your helicopter will fall into the ocean if it runs out of fuel halfway. If it doesn’t fall into the ocean, your people will be hunted down and killed. Go ahead and try it if you’re confident, but this is the best we can do for you.”Nicole shrugged her shoulders, and Mrs. Lindstrom’s face turned pale.“So, they have guns and we can’t call the police?”Clayton lowered his eyes and did not speak. He just turned the teacup in his hand gently.Floyd also sighed.“If you look for Interpol, wouldn’t my family be exposed for smuggling your son out? You’d better be clear about which channel you want. Don’t toy with us.”Floyd put down his cup heavily on the table.Mr. Lindstrom’s expression changed dramatically, and Mrs. Lindstrom did not dare to say a word.Mr. Linds
Nicole raised her eyes and looked at the sky.The dark blue sky gradually turned dark.There were countless twinkling stars in the clear sky.She smiled, looking beautiful and cold.“Okay, let’s begin.”Nicole hung up the phone. She was in a good mood, so she squatted down and kissed Chatty.“Baby girl, wait for Mommy at home, okay? When Mommy comes back, Mommy will bring you out to play!”Chatty did not understand what Nicole was saying, but that did not prevent her from creating trouble.The baby stepped on Nicole’s feet and staggered away to find another target.Nicole was speechless.She sighed and went straight to the door with her coat.Suddenly, Clayton stopped Nicole. His voice was deep as he asked, “Where are you going?”Nicole paused for a moment and immediately put on a relaxed expression.“I’m going out for a while. I’ll be right back.”Clayton looked at her with deep eyes.“It’s so late. I’ll accompany you.”Nicole did not say anything.“You don’t want me
The police officer said, “This is our duty.”After that, the police officer left.Tyler was unwilling to get arrested and wanted to break free from the shackles. He then stumbled toward Nicole.While he ran, he yelled, “You b*tch! How dare you play me?! You and Clayton are the same kind of cunning people. F*ck you! I’ll never let you go. Just you wait!”Nicole smiled and looked at Tyler fearlessly. She said in a cold voice, “You’re the one who should be damned. No matter who you think you are, don’t even think about escaping. Did you think that you could bully my family and friends? Didn’t I warn you that this is my territory?”The police did not hear those words, but Tyler heard them clearly.Tyler was furious. When he saw Clayton in the car, he was even more infuriated.“Just you wait! I won’t let this slide!”Clayton glanced at Tyler with extremely dark eyes.He had been silent since the beginning.Tyler was dragged away by the police, and Nicole asked Luca to drive away.
Clayton hugged Nicole, lay on the bed, and kissed her on the forehead. The two of them were about to get lost in the moment when Nicole suddenly sat up and pushed him away.“I know what to buy!”“What?”“I’ll buy back the antiques that I donated. They belong to my dad!”Clayton snorted and touched his chin.“Right… This is indeed very important.”If it was any later, Floyd would find out.Nicole happily regained her interest in online shopping.She went offline after a few hours in the live broadcast.Since Nicole only appeared for a while and did not break her own shopping record, everyone was a little disappointed in @RichBaby.Early the next morning.Nicole saw many missed calls on her phone.She frowned when she saw a familiar number and called back immediately.“Ms. Stanton, Tyler escaped during his transfer last night…”Nicole was shocked and suddenly remembered that this was Mr. Jensen’s number.“Escaped?”“Yes, he jumped out of the car. We chased him to the beac
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
