Mitchell said, “Although Young Master Chance’s life is no longer in danger, he fell from such a high place.”Mitchell glanced at him lightly. “You shouldn’t go to Mr. Ferguson to beg for mercy again for the sake of J&L Corporation.”That was all Mitchell had to say.Not long after Gerard left, Yasmin hurried over.Mitchell glanced at her with dissatisfaction.“Why are you late?”Yasmin paused and explained in a harmless and innocent tone.“I was afraid that I wrongly accused Ms. Lichman, so I went to check the surveillance footage. Is the young master alright?”Mitchell frowned. “He’s alright. Stay here and take care of the young master. I’m going to the police station.”“Okay.”Once Mitchell left, Yasmin’s harmless expression slowly faded. She took a deep look in the direction that Mitchell left and pushed open the door of the ward.Chance’s little face was pale, and his head was wrapped in gauze. He looked so pitiful.He lay there, completely unaware of the person who jus
After a long time, Gerard looked shocked, and he could not calm down.Gerard’s voice was dry and hoarse.“So, you just let her set the place on fire and watched silently, huh?”Cheryl was startled. She subconsciously shook her head.“I… I wanted to save Chance, but Nicole had already rushed in. Right! I wanted to save Chance, but I was one step too late!”Gerard looked at his sister with complicated eyes.Was she still the proud and confident Cheryl Lichman that he knew?When Cheryl spoke, she dodged his gaze. She was lying, and she was guilty.Gerard thought of this and felt like his head was covered by a layer of haze. He only felt a chill in his heart.If it only involved Cheryl, this matter would be relatively simple.However, Cheryl was so stupid to get involved with Ingrid.Eric would never let Cheryl get away with it like how he would cover for Ingrid.Gerard paused, looked at Cheryl for a full minute, stood up, and turned to leave.“Brother, will you help me?”Ger
Nicole avoided Chatty as if she was fleeing from a plague.Chatty did not realize that her mother was disgusted by her. The big fish was still flapping its tail in her little arms, splashing water everywhere.The little girl grinned happily.Nicole could not help but laugh and took out her phone to take a photo of Chatty.“Our little Chatty is so strong!”“Mommy! Carry it…”“Mommy doesn’t want to carry it. You can carry it yourself!”After Nicole finished speaking, Chatty pouted unhappily, carried the big fish, and turned to leave.Chatty even snorted before leaving.Nicole looked at her daughter in shock. “Who did she learn this from?!”Floyd glanced at Nicole. “Why don’t you think about who’s been at home during this time?”Nicole paused. “Third Brother?”This was very much like Kai’s temper.Chatty got back into the water, let go of the fish, and caught another fish to play with.The few fishes in the fountain were exhausted from Chatty playing around with them.Seein
Clayton’s lips could not help but curl up when he said that. He looked radiant and did not feel restrained at all.He seemed like he was proudly showing off.One of Clayton’s close friends stood up and said, “Just as well. Ms. Stanton has quite a reputation in Atlanta. We should’ve gone to visit her. Why don’t we go out and say hello?”“That’s right, Mr. Sloan. Let’s go out and say hello to your wife. You won’t mind, right?”Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, Clayton raised his eyebrows.“Of course, I don’t mind!”Clayton took his jacket and walked out with a few people behind him.When they got to the downstairs lobby, they did not see Nicole. However, Kai stood there looking tall and slender as he asked the waiter about the latest gossip.Clayton paused and swept a glance. He could not see Nicole anywhere.He was about to walk past Kai when Kai beckoned to him.“Brother-in-law, my sister asked me to pick you up! Shall we go?”Kai swaggered over, nodded to the people behind Clay
Nicole kissed Chatty, picked up the phone, and asked again, “Logan, what are you talking about?”Logan said anxiously, “Zach Gilbert is dead. He jumped off the hotel building. The police investigation found that he met you at Stanton Corporation before he died. This seems to be a little troublesome, President.”Nicole woke up in an instant. Her eyes darkened.“How could that happen…”Someone as treacherous and greedy as Zach Gilbert could not possibly commit suicide.Someone must have killed him!However, was there a connection between Zach’s and Tina’s death?Nicole’s mind was a mess. She always felt that there was someone behind her triggering this series of events.It felt like that person was pushing everyone into the abyss.Nicole was unconsciously forced into this situation.Logan’s voice came through the phone. “President, the lawyers are ready, and we have already talked to the police. But rumors of Zach Gilbert privately signing the contract with you have gone viral,
Grant glanced at Clayton and laughed.“That’s true. Knowing her, she’ll consider stabbing someone in a non-critical position even if she’s in a critical situation with a knife in hand.”How could Nicole possibly kill someone?It was also impossible for Nicole to coerce someone to kill themselves.Clayton said, “Big Brother, I suspect that someone is behind this.”“I think so too.”Grant took a deep breath.He closed his eyes and groaned.“But now, we don’t have a lead to who the other party is. That person is hiding in the dark, and we’re an easy target.”Thus, they were in a passive position.Clayton said a few words and returned to Nicole’s office.Everyone in the office did not know what to believe about the rumors online. They were just interested to see the interaction between Clayton and Nicole.They were all envious that Clayton accompanied Nicole at this time.Grant figured that Nicole was in a bad mood, so he took away some of her work.Nicole was sitting in fron
Nicole clicked her tongue and finally gave up on calling Clayton “Mr. Sloan”.However, Nicole noticed that every time she called him that, Clayton would frown and start to lecture her seriously.It was as if he could write a book on his view of marriage.Nicole found it kind of funny.Fortunately, Nicole’s mood during the next half of the car journey improved a lot.Nicole glanced at the public opinion online. Those topics about her were suppressed.At the same time, the public relations department of Stanton Corporation also issued a statement.They expressed regret for the death of Tina and Zach Gilbert but stated that Nicole had nothing to do with this matter and would fully cooperate with the police investigation. They also reserved the right to pursue this legally until the investigation was over.As soon as this statement was released, the rumors online gradually died down.The platform had also deliberately suppressed the topic, so those malicious speculations about Nic
Nicole said it bluntly.Since Nicole entered the door, she felt that Kirsi’s sadness had exceeded her expectations.Zach was not Kirsi’s husband and was just her lover.With Kirsi’s standards, Nicole guessed that Kirsi probably did not love Zach deeply.Thus, Nicole thought that Kirsi went a little overboard by acting sad.Kirsi looked up at Nicole, took a deep breath, and calmed her breathing.Kirsi seemed to be restraining her emotions.After a long time, Kirsi said with gritted teeth, “I know you look down on me. You and Lumi are friends, and since Lumi married Ian, I’ve become a thorn in your side. That’s why you’re targeting me, right?”Nicole was a little puzzled by those words.What was Kirsi talking about?Kirsi sneered, threw away the tissue in her hand, and did not bother to continue pretending.“That’s right. I’m a homewrecker! I’m also a homewrecker who is about to succeed in becoming Zach’s legal wife! I was so happy about Tina’s death that I couldn’t sleep for
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
