Yvette was grieving and passed out at some point.She was worried about all the unknown and could only be a doll that Sean kept in a glasshouse for people to watch.When Yvette woke up again, she was in a completely unfamiliar room.Everything from last night rushed into her mind.Her face was pale as she sat up abruptly.The unfamiliar environment made her feel more insecure.She wanted to get out of bed, but she suddenly tripped over something.When she looked down, she saw a white nylon rope tied to her ankles.Yvette’s heart kept sinking into an abyss.While she panicked, her feet were soaked in blood. That feeling and dead silence made her feel unsettled.Nothing she could reach could become a weapon that she could use to threaten others. There was not even a vase in the room.Yvette suddenly snapped and shrieked.Finally, someone came over and pushed the door open.Sean was wearing a black shirt and trousers. His face was still cold as usual.“You woke up? I’ll brin
In an instant, Sean’s expression darkened. He raised his head and stared at the man grimly.The person next to him saw that Sean was upset and immediately went to hug the thin man’s shoulders and jokingly scolded him, “You’re so full of yourself, huh? This woman is different from the ones in the club that you can screw with anytime you want. The boss brought her back for himself, so don’t think about her.”The thin man also saw that something was wrong and smiled sheepishly as he stepped back.“I was just saying… She came from a wealthy family and was brought up in luxury. I was just curious because I had never touched a woman like her before. Don’t worry, Boss! Without your word, I won’t touch even a hair on her!”The gloom in Sean’s eyes gradually faded. He was indifferent as he mocked him.“Useless! So what if she’s from a rich family? Women are all the same once the lights are off, aren’t they? I’ll take you all to Gold Digger’s tonight. You guys can get all the girls you want
Sean’s appearance made Melissa heave a sigh of relief.Melissa took a step back to get out of the way.However, her eyes held complicated emotions when she was standing behind him.Melissa adored and admired Sean.Yvette froze in place and looked wretched as usual.Her face was as pale as paper without a hint of color.“Sean, what are you trying to do? If you want revenge because I dumped you back then, just kill me. Why do you want to torture me like this?”“Torture? How is this torture? You haven’t seen real hell yet.”Sean’s tone was cold and sarcastic.“Don’t you want to know if Lance is still alive? I’ll tell you. He was lucky and was rescued in time. But now, he has two broken ribs and he’s still unconscious.”When Yvette heard Sean’s words, her relaxed body slowly stiffened again.The light in her eyes flickered. Yvette did not know whether to be sad or happy about it.She really wanted to see Lance!Seeing the conflicting expression on her face, Sean felt inexplica
Sean only slept with Melissa because she was sent to his bed when he was drugged.After the deed, Sean paid off Melissa’s debt and found a job for her. There was nothing more between them.However, to Sean’s subordinates and especially Lex, they had long thought that Sean must have liked Melissa since he slept with her.They thought that Yvette, who liked to hook up with men before she was married, still did not reel it in after marriage.To them, Yvette was just another prostitute with a better background.Yvette was nothing compared to a pure college student like Melissa.Thus, Lex looked at Yvette lewdly, but he would not contaminate Melissa.When Lex heard what Sean said, he was obviously shocked and looked at Sean in a panic.“Boss, you know that’s not what I meant. How could you give Melissa to me?”Melissa stood beside him. Her face was pale, and she bit down on her lips so hard that they were about to bleed.She remained silent.Sean ignored Lex and looked straight a
In the next second, Sean just stood up and glanced at them.“You guys can eat. I have something else to do.”Melissa looked at his back as he went upstairs and felt disheartened.Disappointment was written all over her face because she cooked this meal with all her heart.Tate called her over.“Melissa, come and eat with us. Don’t be a stranger.”Melissa forced a smile and walked over.“Maybe Mr. Moore isn’t used to my cooking. I have to improve myself.”Lex smiled and said, “No need! The boss has always been very picky. Unless his meals are made by special chefs, he won’t eat them.”Melissa’s face changed slightly, and she smiled embarrassedly.“Really?”……Upstairs.Yvette squatted in the corner and looked like she had lost her mind. She looked so wretched and listless.She trembled when Sean pushed open the door and came in, but she did not say a word.Sean raised his eyebrows, walked over, took out a sharp knife at his waist, and cut off the rope at her feet.Yvette
Yvette raised her head stiffly and looked at Melissa in disbelief.It was not because of what Melissa said about Yvette, but what Melissa said before that – money laundering, drug dealing, and underground brothels. Was Sean involved in all these now?Yvette’s heart froze. It felt like the blood in her body was slowly coagulating.No wonder Sean was so supercilious and unscrupulous.He disregarded the law by breaking into Yvette’s home, beating them up, robbing them, and imprisoning her.It turned out that Sean had long infringed the law.He took a path of no return.It was because of this news that Yvette completely panicked.If Sean was fearless, how could Yvette leave?Melissa smiled and comforted Yvette.“Ms. Quimbey, since you’re already here, just stay here obediently. It’ll be better for you to listen to him. We can only survive if we obey him.”Yvette’s heart thudded.Her face turned pale, and she slowly moved her gaze up to Melissa’s face. She frowned and said, “W
Yvette saw the dying person lying on the bed. The man who used to be able to carry her on his shoulders with one hand now had tubes and wires connected all over his body.She stood there and carefully held Lance’s hand.Her tears fell uncontrollably.This was the first time she felt such a heart-wrenching pain.The silent pain was like being stabbed a million times. It was indescribable.It was nothing at all like the pain she had experienced before.At this moment, the grievances and guilt that Yvette held back overwhelmed her.She wished that she could suffer and die on his behalf.Yvette regretted that she had been so unrestrained before she met Lance because Lance now had to bear all the consequences.Lance could have married a gentle and kind girl and lived the rest of his life in wealth and power.Why did he happen to meet Yvette?Yvette cried as she sat there. Suddenly, the hand she clasped seemed to twitch.She paused slightly and wiped away her tears.“Hubby, are
Nicole looked at Clayton expectantly. “Isn’t that suspicious?”Clayton stroked her hair and shook his head helplessly.“You’re just being paranoid. It happened over a month ago. Who would’ve thought Lance would be hospitalized here?”Nicole pouted and was speechless.On the way back, Clayton’s idea made Nicole feel slightly better.Nicole smiled. She was really apprehensive lately because of what happened with Yvette.Mrs. Quimbey was a strong career woman, yet she put aside all her work and cooperated with the police’s investigation.However, there was still no result.There was still no hint of what the perpetrators’ motives were.As of the third day after Yvette went missing and Lance was hospitalized, they still did not make any progress.Clayton was unwilling to delve into this matter, nor did he want Nicole to dig deeper into it.The main reason was that Clayton had already noticed this matter involved the underground drug trade.Clayton did not want to touch this a
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
