Somehow, Eric felt that something was wrong when he heard Angie’s words.It seemed that something was about to break out of the ground.He did not feel any pleasure from Tyler being arrested.What exactly was it?Eric calmed himself down.He did not speak.Angie did not mind either.Her voice was light, with a bit of viciousness and tenderness.“I can let anyone die for you, but why can’t you see how much I love you?”Eric said, “Are you sick in the head?”Angie clicked her tongue.“It’s different now. Tyler is no longer in this world, but I will always be here.”She laughed and hung up the phone.Eric looked at the blacked-out screen with a stiff and cold face.He had a bad feeling about this.Did Clayton make a deal with Angie when he released her?Clayton wanted to kill Angie when he was on the boat.How could Clayton let her go?What made Clayton let Angie go?If Eric knew the answer, then all his problems would be solved.Eric threw his phone angrily. His face
The floor carpet was very thick, and all sharp edges were covered with a soft protective layer, so there was no need to worry that Chatty would fall and hurt herself.Chatty was also very tenacious.She followed Daddy and Mommy without crying or making a fuss, and climbed down the stairs steadily, step by step.Floyd glared at the couple before him, then ran over to carry Chatty.“Our little Chatty is so amazing! She can climb stairs at such a young age. What a genius!”Clayton paused and thought that it sounded familiar.Julie ran inside and hugged Nicole happily.“You’re finally back! You went on vacation so suddenly that I wasn’t even aware!”It was indeed sudden.Nicole smiled, but she could not explain certain things.“Well, I wanted to give you and Third Brother some personal space.”Kai sat on the sofa in the living room and looked up nonchalantly.“I think you wanted some personal space and used us as an excuse! I feel exploited!”Julie clicked her tongue, and Kai
Clayton, who was walking down the stairs, heard this and said, “Big Brother, Chatty can’t even walk steadily now. She’ll be sent home as soon as we bring her there. Let’s just wait for two more years.”Grant raised his eyebrows. “Alright, Dad will follow Levi over for a few days so that Levi can get used to the place before Dad leaves.”Clayton nodded. “Dad is our family’s backbone.”He sighed and thought, ‘Poor Chatty!’Nicole walked over quickly.“What did Dad say to you just now in the study?”Clayton looked at her with a smile. His eyes were gentle and reflected the light.“Take a guess!”Nicole could not guess what he was thinking because Clayton looked so nonchalant.She pursed her lips and pinched his waist gently.Clayton pursed his lips, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, “Are you trying to murder your husband?”His voice pierced through Nicole’s heart like an electric current.She stretched out her arms and hugged his waist with a smile.“Do I even need
Chatty did not cry. She struggled to get up from the ground and wanted to drag the beautiful little boy up.However, the little boy’s hands were wounded. Even so, the boy remained silent.When Levi ran over, he patted the dirt from Chatty’s skirt before he looked at the boy opposite them.“I’m sorry, my little sister didn’t bump into you on purpose. She’s young and doesn’t know anything. Are you okay?”Levi helped the little boy across from him.The little boy looked very beautiful like he had a mixed heritage. He was fair, gentle, and very introverted.He looked at Levi and then at Chatty, then pursed his lips.That soft little girl looked so beautiful and delicate, like a cute little princess.The boy could not help but take a few more glances at Chatty.He nodded his head.Then, he casually rubbed his wounded hand on his body and turned to leave.Levi took the boy’s hand. “You’re injured. Shall I ask my daddy to help you?”The little boy shook his head and withdrew his
Grant and Aida were not worried and sat there without moving.Levi walked over obediently and told them about his new friend.“Mommy, he’s a big brother and our new friend. He didn’t get angry even when Chatty bumped into him…”Grant listened casually while watching Clayton hold his daughter.Just when they were about to leave prematurely, the principal interjected.“Oh, that student always likes to be alone. He can’t speak, and he’s Mr. Eric Ferguson’s son.”Grant’s eyes narrowed slightly. His face instantly turned cold.Aida frowned.“Eric’s son? Why is he here?”Did Eric dump his newly recognized son at boarding school?The principal smiled.“Yes, that child is introverted, obedient, and quite smart. It’s just that Mr. Ferguson never showed up. All formalities were done by someone else. They followed the school’s regulations and allowed the boy to go home once a week.”Nicole stood there and turned her head slightly.She frowned.The little boy who had been staring at
Mr. and Mrs. Lindstrom left the Stanton Mansion regrettably.Samuel walked in the back and looked at Nicole hesitantly.“I’m sorry, Ms. Stanton.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Mr. Lindstrom, I understand that you feel apologetic, but I can’t just forgive and forget about this. No matter what, I’m glad that you managed to come back safely. Take care of yourself.”They would not take revenge on Samuel again, but there was also no need to keep a friendship with him.Samuel understood what Nicole meant and nodded.After taking two steps out, he stopped, turned his head, and said in a dry and bitter voice.“Is Lumi doing well?”Nicole frowned and looked at him.“She’s married to Ian, and they’re on their honeymoon. So, yes, she’s doing very well.”Samuel’s face turned pale. His eyes trembled slightly, and his face was taut. He quickly lowered his eyes and turned to leave.He had been in a dire situation abroad.Thus, his family did not mention a word about Lumi so as not to distr
Nicole’s throat was still a little hoarse as she looked up at Clayton angrily.Clayton chuckled and lowered his head to kiss her between the eyebrows.“It’s all my fault. But you need to understand how hard it is for me to see the most beautiful woman in the world every day. How can I control myself? I’m still a human after all.”Nicole did not forgive him right away because of his sweet talk.She snorted softly to express her dissatisfaction.Clayton was sensible enough and carried her into the bathroom to help her wash up. This time, he was more well-behaved.He chuckled lightly.“Should I push off your afternoon tea with Julie? I can just say that you’re not feeling well and fell asleep…”Clayton was being thoughtful. After all, she was exhausted from their physical activity and should get some rest.Nicole obviously misunderstood him and pushed him away. She slowly sat up without caring about the towel that fell off and hurriedly walked to the dressing room.“No, I don’t
Julie nodded knowingly.“No wonder.”Nicole smiled. She could only say this in front of outsiders.The editor-in-chief smiled. “Kirsi is his partner this time. She doesn’t have any good resources at the moment, but I heard that our boss gave her the female lead position because Mr. Lindstrom is back.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. Her face paled a little.Fortunately, Lumi divorced Samuel back then. Otherwise, Lumi would have been nauseated by this.Nicole looked down and saw that the set up was ready.A platform was built at the filming site. Shane stood there with his muscular figure that was rare in showbiz.His masculinity was not the same as those burly men who deliberately went to the gym to train.Shane was young and immature, but the look of resilience and experience in his eyes and his toughness was something that no male celebrity in the circle could imitate. The most obvious difference was the everlasting coldness in his eyes.Kirsi changed into the gown for the phot
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
