Clayton spoke indifferently, but Nicole’s eyes widened in shock.“W-What?! That works?!”Nicole had never heard of this.It felt like Clayton had opened up a whole new world for her.Clayton smiled slightly as if everything was in his control and going according to his plan.“Yeah. As long as she forgets everything, she wouldn’t be able to outrightly identify you no matter how others threaten her. I just ruined that person’s plan and made it impossible for her to continue. As long as Tina’s and Zach’s death aren’t connected to you, we’ve succeeded.”Nicole secretly marveled at Clayton’s plan. She looked at him with admiration in her eyes.“Hubby, it’s all thanks to you!”She reached out to put her arms around his neck and rubbed her face against his.Clayton hugged her waist and smiled. This made everything he did today worthwhile.The next second, they heard someone coughing from the stairs.The two reluctantly let go of each other.Jay frowned helplessly and looked at the
Mitchell wanted Chatty to attend Chance’s birthday party?Nicole immediately rejected Mitchell’s invitation.“She’s not even two years old, and she doesn’t even remember what Chance looks like.”Besides, Nicole did not want Chatty to interact with the Ferguson family.Nicole was not being petty.She just felt that the Ferguson family was a wolf’s den. No one could get out without being bitten.Although Nicole felt sorry for Chance, she did not want to take the chance with Chatty.Thus, Nicole did not want Chatty to attend Chance’s birthday party.Mitchell smiled and said politely, “Ms. Stanton, Mr. Ferguson is away on a business trip. Chance’s teachers organized this birthday party for him while we pay for the expenses. No one in the industry is invited. Only a few children from school are going. I’ve also booked the entire amusement park for this party, so there won’t be any outsiders. There are ample security guards on duty, so you can rest assured that no strangers will be a
Nicole arrived at the amusement park.Nicole remembered that Eric paid for this place.Eric had also been in a car accident here before.There were a lot of people at the entrance.When Nicole arrived at the entrance, someone recognized her.Mitchell walked over in surprise.“Ms. Stanton, I didn’t expect that you would come over today. It’s such an honor to have you here!”The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched.“My daughter, Levi, and Fischer are all here, right?”“Yes, they’re here. They’re all playing inside now. Don’t worry. There are no outsiders here today!”Mitchell almost raised his hand in a swearing gesture.In fact, Mitchell would not be able to afford the consequences if any of the Stanton family’s children got into an accident.Thus, he was extremely careful in terms of security.It was also so that poor Chance could be happy for one day.Chance was looking forward to this birthday party for a long time.As they spoke, Nathaniel and Yasmin came over from a d
Yasmin smiled shyly. She looked so gentle and pure that it was hard for others to see her in a bad light.“Actually, I’m lucky to have found this job. Chance is very easy to get along with. I’ll leave once I find my brother.”Nicole smiled. “Yes, Chance is very easy to get along with.”They met a few times, and Chance gave Nicole a good impression.Nicole watched Chatty from a distance. Although Nicole did not follow Chatty, she did not let down her guard for a moment.Yasmin said a few words to Nicole and went to do other things.After all, it would arouse suspicion if a nanny talked too much.Nicole stood there for a while before her phone rang.It was Clayton.Clayton knew that Nicole went to Chance’s party, but he did not get angry. At least, he could not blame Nicole for it.“Let them play for a while and bring them home. Don’t stay for too long.”Nicole lowered her head, smiled, and replied, “I know. I’ll send them over to my dad’s place soon.”Clayton said, “Thanks,
Mitchell heard this and felt the chill in the air.He nodded immediately. “I understand, Ms. Stanton.”Nicole looked at Yasmin and smiled gently, “Thank you, Yasmin. I’ll send you a thank you gift when I get back.”“You’re welcome, Ms. Stanton. Chatty is a cute kid, so no one can bear to see her get hurt!”Yasmin looked at Nicole sincerely. “I’m glad that the child is okay.”Nicole thanked Yasmin from the bottom of her heart.Nicole was not paying attention for a while and almost lost her child.She was still drenched in cold sweat thinking about it.Before this, Nicole was a little wary of Yasmin because of Yasmin’s strangeness. But after this incident, she let down her guard.Nicole retracted her gaze, carried Chatty, and looked at Fischer.“Come on, let’s go home.”Fischer glared at Chance and Yasmin before he turned around and trotted away with Nicole.Mitchell patted his chest in fear and looked at Yasmin.“Thank you.”Yasmin smiled. “It’s my duty.”Chance just star
Clayton looked at the information gathered from the investigation that was placed on his desk. The name “Yasmin” was written on the paper.He raised his hand and tapped on the table, staring at the document with dark eyes.Roland stood there. “Mr. Sloan, this is the information you asked for. According to our investigation, Yasmin is indeed from the countryside. She has a brother who was beaten to death at a street fight half a year ago. This news didn’t get to the countryside, so she still doesn’t know about it.”Clayton’s gloomy eyes flickered.“What about her photo? Any pictures of her growing up?”Roland stood there in a pickle.“Mr. Sloan, the traffic access into her village is blocked and they have a very poor network. She didn’t have a registration file at school, nor did the police have any records of her. So, we can’t find any photos of her.”Clayton looked up at Roland. His deep features were very handsome.“So, no one can prove that the current Yasmin is the same per
“Nicole! Watch out—”Clayton suddenly pushed open the car door.Nicole’s expression stiffened when she suddenly felt a breeze from the back.In an instant, Nicole reacted very quickly. She ducked forward and bowed down to lower her body.Kirsi was so frightened that she took a few steps back. She accidentally tripped over a rock on the ground and clutched her belly in pain.Her face was pale.In the next second, the person who came out of nowhere chased after Nicole and raised a bottle of liquid high in her hand.Nicole quickly lowered her head, picked up something, and threw it backward.“Ah—”That person screamed.The attacker suddenly stopped rushing toward Nicole and stood frozen in place because of the pain.She was bleeding.The brick that Nicole threw at the attacker shattered in half.That person covered her head, squatted on the ground, and wailed in pain.The glass bottle she was holding also shattered, and the liquid splattered all over the floor.It was some
The police agreed as it was their duty to do so.Nicole and Clayton left here.When they got into the car, Nicole looked at Clayton. Her throat moved.“Hubby, why does it feel so strange? Although everything makes sense, I still feel that something is wrong…”Clayton touched her head and smiled.“Mm. It’s fine if you’re feeling that way because something is fishy.”Nicole raised her head to look at Clayton. His eyes were deep and dark.“We’re about to get to the bottom of it, but the murderer bumped into us. Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”Nicole asked, “You don’t believe it either?”Clayton smiled. “Most people will hide after killing two people. Why did she rush over to get caught?”Nicole nodded solemnly.“You’re right!”“But this also just shows that the actual murderer is afraid that we’ll find her, so she wanted to expose another murderer to cover for her and divert everyone’s attention.”Clayton’s voice gradually turned cold.Nicole heard this and became more
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
