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
Sure enough, Yvette sighed and looked at Nicole with complicated eyes.“The accounts there involve Sean’s ex-wife’s family.”“Don’t go then.”Nicole suggested sincerely.Yvette lowered her eyes. “I don’t think it’s good for me to interact with them again, but…”She bit her lower lip and was in a pickle.Nicole pondered for a moment. “Does Lance know about this?”Yvette shook her head.Nicole said, “You should discuss it with him. It’s best not to make your own decision. Of course, your career is important, but if you care about Lance, don’t push his bottom line.”Yvette looked at her for a few seconds and nodded silently.She knew that Nicole could read her thoughts.At first, Yvette planned to cut to the chase and deal with the consequences later, but when Nicole reminded her of this, Yvette became a little hesitant.It would depend on whether doing so was worth it or not.Yvette left in a trance.Only then did Nicole go back to work in her office.Grant was coming out
A few days passed.It was rare for Nicole to send Levi to school.Levi did not know whether he was happy or not at school. Every time Nicole asked him, he would ask her back, “Can I not go to school if I’m not happy?”Oh, of course not.Levi sighed loudly like an old man with lots of problems. It seemed like Levi could put up with this school.When they got to school, Nicole asked him to get out of the car. She carried his school bag to the entrance, held his hand, and could not help but sigh.“If only you could stay this young forever.”Levi gave her a look. “It’s impossible for you to stay young forever either.”Nicole retorted, “You really are Grant’s son!”“Yup.”The two of them looked at each other and laughed.At that moment, Levi’s eyes lit up when he looked behind Nicole. He waved his hand frantically and shouted, “Chance!”Chance ran over with a heavy school bag on his back. He was equally happy to see Levi.When Chance saw Nicole, he was excited at first but quic
Eric frowned. Although he did not want to deal with Chance’s matters, he still nodded at the teacher.“Mitchell is in Africa these days. If you can’t get in touch with him, you can contact the nanny. I can also connect you with my other assistants.”The teacher was a little shocked. “I’m afraid this isn’t something that a nanny or assistant can solve. Ms. Stanton was the one who recommended that we contact Chance’s guardian directly.”When Eric heard Nicole’s name, the coldness between his eyebrows eased slightly.“Let’s talk then.”The teacher paused. “Mr. Ferguson, you do know that child abuse is illegal, right?”Eric was silent and looked up at the teacher.“Get to the point.”The teacher was intimidated by Eric’s tone and took a deep breath.“We inadvertently found large bruises on Chance’s back and buttocks. The bruises were both old and new. Mr. Ferguson, do you know the origin of these marks?”For a while, the air in the office seemed to be frozen.“What did you say?”
Chance stood there sluggishly with his hands clasped tightly. He looked indescribably aggrieved as he lowered his head without saying a word.Eric pursed his lips. “Since you don’t want to tell me, I might have wrongly accused Yasmin. Do you want her to continue to take care of you?”Chance remained silent and stood there motionless.Eric finally lost his patience. He stared indifferently at the child who resembled him and said, “I don’t have time to waste all my energy on you. If you don’t say anything, then you can keep quiet forever. I’m not interested in knowing what happens between you and the nanny.”Chance finally had a reaction. He raised his eyelids slightly.However, this time, there was no light in his clear eyes. He looked like a child who grew up in an instant.Chance pursed his lips, and his face was pale.Eric’s secretary knocked on the door and came in to inform Eric of a meeting. Eric took his phone and went out without saying a word.Not long after, someone ca
Yasmin thought, ‘If only I didn’t meet Eric back then… None of this would’ve happened. That way, I wouldn’t be used by Clayton and wouldn’t have lost my freedom.’Yasmin looked at the man on the ground with gloomy eyes. Her expression turned vicious.She slowly raised the dagger in her hand and hooked her lips.“When he dies, you’ll inherit his property. Then, I can return to Southeast Asia to rebuild my forces. Son, I won’t give birth to you in vain!”Chance got up from the ground and shook his head to stop her.However, Yasmin did not care about Chance’s objection and only wanted to quickly resolve the matter at hand.Yasmin smiled. “I’ll let you see how I kill your father. You’ll probably be traumatized by it, but it doesn’t matter. Mommy grew up watching people get killed, and I have killed people myself. You’re my son, so you ought to learn how to kill. How about this? Why don’t you kill him? You might even get cured after killing him…”After she spoke, she took Chance’s ha
Eric did not hesitate at all. He pushed Chance away and walked out.At this time, the bodyguards who were stationed covertly outside ran in.“Mr. Ferguson, we caught her.”Eric’s eyes turned cold for a moment.He seemed to be quite glad.“Very good.”Chance followed closely behind Eric. Even with tears streaming uncontrollably down his face, Chance was afraid that something would happen to his mother.He was afraid of his mother, but he loved his mother too.How could a child hold a grudge?Chance wanted to shout to stop Eric, but he could hardly make a sound no matter how hard he tried.He could only use his strength to cry silently.Eric walked to the front. His back was awe-inspiring, and he was exuding a terrifying chill.Angie did not expect Eric to come prepared.She was caught so quickly and could not escape.Finally, she panicked.“Eric, don’t you want to know why I came here?”“No.”After Eric finished speaking, Angie was tied up.Angie struggled to no avail.
Eric hated Clayton.He absolutely hated Clayton’s face. Listening to Clayton speak made Eric even more annoyed.Eric did not know how it was possible for such an annoying person to exist in this world.Eric was livid as he sat on the sofa, motionless and stiff.If not for his wound, Eric would have fought with Clayton.Eric wanted Clayton to know what it meant to have a death wish.The maid looked at them strangely and did not dare to listen anymore. She quickly left the vicinity.Clayton put the gifts on the table, patted them, and said meaningfully, “Here, mend your wound.”Eric glared at him with dark eyes.“No need. Keep it for yourself!”Clayton chuckled lightly, seemingly mocking Eric’s stubbornness.“Mr. Ferguson, I’m not here to visit you because you’re sick. Don’t misunderstand my good intentions.”Eric really wanted to rip off Clayton’s hypocritical mask.“Clayton Sloan, if you have something to say, just spit it out! Don’t think that I won’t dare to do anything
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
