Eric chuckled lightly. His face looked cold.“She’s your mother, but she’s not my wife. She and I are archenemies, so how could I marry her?”Chance looked a little dazed, but he quickly calmed down.“Is she dead? Auntie said you got her killed!”His tiny body was filled with anger.Eric looked at him with deep and pitch-black eyes.“She sought her own death. I didn’t need to do anything. I haven’t settled the score with you yet. You knew that she disguised as Yasmin to stay close to me, right?”Chance pursed his lips. He looked stubborn and guilty.“Yes. Mommy said she wanted to live with us.”Eric laughed lightly, mocking his whims.Mitchell sighed from the side.Sure enough, a child was easily deceived.Eric’s attitude toward his son was so cold. Did Chance and Angie not get his point?There was a chill in his eyes.Staring at Chance’s little face, Eric said in a cold voice, “So, you two directed your own show when you were sick and hospitalized?”Chance was a little
Ingrid felt a chill in her heart.However, today was different from the past. Ingrid no longer had to be afraid of Eric’s obstruction or bear the burden of being humiliated over and over again.Ingrid thought, ‘If it were not for this damned Nicole, I wouldn’t have ended up like this! Eric was seduced by this vixen. That’s why he was so cruel to me!’All of Ingrid’s hatred usually stemmed from Eric and Nicole.To her, these two people deserved to die.Just as Ingrid was about to walk up to Nicole to settle the score with her, she suddenly stopped in her footsteps when she saw the man opposite Nicole.Clayton was actually there.The warning and coldness in Clayton’s eyes made Ingrid shy away.Ingrid dared not provoke him because she was clear who Tyler really lost to.Eric only delivered the final blow, but Clayton was the one behind it all.Ingrid settled her mind, turned around as if nothing had happened, and walked toward the door calmly.She had ample time to deal with Ni
After Ingrid yelled at Mitchell, her face was red and distorted with anger.Unrepressed hatred was spewing out of her eyes.The grudges that she kept hidden accumulated and gushed out at this moment.Mitchell heard this and was slightly startled.However, he soon looked at her with pity and helplessness.Mitchell looked disappointed and could not help but say, “Ms. Ferguson, you hate Mr. Ferguson so much and brood about these things for so long. Why didn’t you think about how you would be able to live such a lavish life without Mr. Ferguson? None of the girls your age who work here stay idle. Mr. Ferguson was harsh on you because he wanted you to be better, but you held a grudge against him? Also, your miscarriage was not because of Mr. Ferguson. Not to mention, if you give birth to the child of your family’s enemy, how would you deal with the child? How do you want your family to treat that child? Don’t you want to marry someone you love and have children? What’s more, Old Master
Eric stood up straight and looked at the sky outside the window.The sky was blue and dotted with fluffy white clouds.At this time, there was no emotion in Eric’s eyes.Ingrid was really scared.Eric turned around, nodded at Mitchell, and walked out of the office on his own.Mitchell stepped forward and looked at Ingrid with cold eyes, “Ms. Ferguson, please come with me.”The moment Eric gave up on his sister, Mitchell no longer needed to be polite to her.After all, Ingrid was an idiot who offended everyone and looked down on Eric’s sidekick, Mitchell.Mitchell was clear about what Ingrid did and would not plead for her.Ingrid trembled all over. She also felt ashamed of herself.She tugged on her skirt, but she could not hide the soiled parts.Ingrid had never been so embarrassed all her life.She had a lot of tears and snot on her face that she could not control.Seeing Mitchell’s icy expression as if he did not want to help her up, Ingrid felt even more frustrated.I
Everyone surrounded Mitchell and bombarded him with questions.Mitchell smiled and shook his head.“Are you all that curious?”Everyone nodded.How could they not be curious?Mitchell paused. “If you're curious, ask Mr. Ferguson yourselves!”He looked serious as he stared at them.“All of you discussed gossip during work hours, so you’d better work two hours of overtime to make up for it!”Everyone was stunned like they were struck by lightning.“Mr. Crawford is more like a boss than Mr. Ferguson!”…...Stanton Mansion.Although Jay Malone entrusted his company to professionals, he was not completely assured because they were not his confidants.Thus, Jay regularly took time out every month to check on his company.Jay’s grandson, Fischer, was left to Floyd.Chatty had an obsession with Ultraman recently. Fischer dressed up as Ultraman to make her happy, but that could no longer satisfy her.That was because Chatty could push Fischer down easily, and Fischer would cry w
The child’s forehead was red from bumping into Eric’s legs. Although the little girl bumped into him first, he could not possibly blame a child for not watching where she was going.After some thought, Eric thought of telling the child’s father to teach the child how to walk.Of course, Eric did not mind offering some money to express his apology.“Who is your daddy? What’s his name?”Chatty raised her chin proudly and snorted.“My daddy is the father of Ultraman, the King of the Land of the Light in Nebula M78!”Eric was speechless as he thought, ‘Is this kid sick in the head?’However, Eric felt that the child’s arrogant expression when she spoke was a little familiar.His heart skipped a beat.The next second, someone came out of the next room.Mitchell was stunned when he saw Eric carrying a little girl.“Mr. Ferguson, you’re here… Ms. Sloan?!”Mitchell looked at the two in shock.Eric could not hold his expression anymore. He frowned slightly and asked, “You know her?
Jay Malone bought a mansion at a high price near the Stanton Mansion. The environment was suitable, so he planned to be neighbors with the Stanton family forever.Fischer lived there for a long time and started to go to school.That was why Chatty was left alone at home.Thus, Nicole started to contact schools for Chatty.Clayton and Nicole tacitly avoided Levi’s school because it was not suitable for Chatty.Finally, they found a suitable school that was less than 500 meters away from Levi’s school.That was the best they could find, but they did not plan to send Chatty to school right away.They wanted to wait until after the New Year.The end of the year was approaching.Levi was on vacation, so he could accompany Fischer and Chatty.Clayton took time off to accompany Nicole so that Nicole could take more time to deal with work at the office.The two got off work at almost the same time, so Clayton went to pick her up first before they went home for dinner together.That
In the end, Michael did not get to hug his pretty lady as he wished.However, his pretty lady changed.That was obvious.Back then, Nicole was an aloof and stubborn career woman. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.Nicole was still bold and beautiful, but she was more gentle, radiant, and charming now.It seemed that Clayton took good care of her.Michael hugged Clayton reluctantly, looking listless.To the side, Nicole laughed so hard that she clutched her belly.Chatty and Fischer nervously and expectantly came over and looked up.“Daddy, I want a hug…”She opened her arms.Clayton’s heart softened as he thought, ‘My daughter is definitely better than my son…’He immediately let go of Michael and was about to squat down to hug Chatty when Chatty twisted her body and threw herself onto Michael.“Big Brother! Hugsies…”Michael picked up Chatty with ease.Chatty grinned happily. She looked so sweet like candy.Clayton’s arms were empty, an
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
