The Stantons did not give their all in Yvette’s case because they had too much on their hands.Back then when Nicole was in trouble, Grant got in touch with many parties, including those in the underworld.Grant really did everything he could to help Nicole.Thus, his high-profile act back then made him a target to his enemies.With one wrong step, the Stantons could lose everything.They were not as fearless as those criminals, nor would they compromise and embark on that path for Yvette’s sake.They could only provide assistance that was within their power.That was what Floyd told his children.Yvette took a deep breath, stepped forward, and hugged Nicole’s shoulders.She patted Nicole’s back and smiled. Her voice was low and hoarse as she said, “I know. Although I called you, I actually hoped that you didn’t show up. Sean was merciful to me, but he might not treat you the same way. I can’t expect others to protect me forever. I need to learn to grow up on my own. Although
When Yvette heard the weak voice, she was shocked and slowly turned around.She saw that the man on the bed had opened his eyes again.This time, Lance was clearly awake. His eyes were bright and concerned.“Yvette…”He slowly raised his hand.Yvette walked over in a few steps. She suddenly teared up, and all her bottled-up emotions suddenly surged.Tears streamed down her face continuously.She did not say anything and only cried until she was out of breath.Yvette could pretend like everything was fine in front of her mother and Fiona.She could also pretend to be strong in front of Nicole and Julie.However, one look from Lance made her unload all her pent-up emotions.“I’m sorry…”She whimpered as she was in pain.Lance sighed slowly and put one hand over hers. His breathing was labored, but he said, “I don’t blame you. You’ll be fine."Even if his life was hanging by a thread, Lance still did not forget to comfort Yvette.How was this her fault?To others, Yvette m
Some time ago, there was a crusade against this pharmaceutical company that was selling fake drugs. The fake drugs were ineffective on the patients, so the patients from a few hospitals that bought this drug died because of it. The hospital was also berated by the public for poor supervision and management.After that incident, all hospitals boycotted the drugs produced by this company.Once the investigation was over, this pharmaceutical company lost all its customers. Their source of income was cut off, and they were about to declare bankruptcy.Moreover, they might have to compensate the victims.At this time, Sheldon Corporation’s acquisition of this pharmaceutical company was tantamount to attracting unnecessary trouble. They might even lose their reputation.This pharmaceutical company would only drag them down. They also had to pay out a large amount of compensation.This was simply a losing business.Yvette did not believe that the shareholders of Sheldon Corporation d
Zeke had a glum expression as he pointed at Yvette in front of everyone in the conference room.He did not hesitate to go against Yvette openly.“For Lance’s sake, I was going to show you some respect, but you went overboard. What right do you have to be here? Yvette, do you think that no one knows your secret?”Yvette’s face turned pale.Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her heart clenched. It made her panic for a moment.Her secret?The days Yvette went missing were her biggest secret.However, no one except the police knew about the details of this.Yvette did not even tell Nicole or Julie about it because the police told her to keep it to herself.Naturally, she would not expose herself.How could her secret be known?Zeke looked at her gloomily with a vicious gaze.He said, “Don’t think we don’t know that you’ve already found a lawyer trying to embezzle Lance’s assets. I saw our company’s lawyers going in and out of the hospital. Did you coerce Lance into giving you powe
Yvette frowned. “Why did they suspend cooperation with us? Have we worked with them before?”Zane shook his head.“No, but they have a large-scale laboratory that makes a new drug. Previously, Mr. Sheldon got in touch with them, but I haven’t met them yet. That’s why I made an appointment for tonight, but the other party suddenly canceled…”Yvette was annoyed.If Sheldon Corporation wanted to get involved in the pharmaceutical industry, they could cooperate with this laboratory. It was much better than acquiring that fake drug manufacturer with a bad reputation.If that was the case, the shareholders could not refute her.Yvette looked up at Zane.“Do you know where the other party is?”Zane raised his eyebrows and said firmly, “Yes.”Yvette’s eyes flickered slightly. She smiled.Zane had always been very attentive and capable. Otherwise, Lance would not arrange for Zane to be Yvette’s assistant.At night, Yvette changed into a decent dress and followed Zane.Surprisingly,
The private room was not very dim and was bright enough.The people sitting on the sofa with their backs to Yvette suddenly turned back to look at her. Everyone was unfamiliar with Yvette.She also noticed that the women in the room were well-dressed properly and did not look like they worked in the club.Yvette immediately felt relieved and walked over with a smile.The man sitting in the main seat on the sofa was thin with sunken cheeks.He looked very imposing, and his eagle-like eyes looked fierce.At this moment, the man looked at Yvette with gloomy eyes.Yvette shook off the discomfort in her heart and smiled naturally.She nodded to the man sitting in the main seat on the sofa and said, “Mr. Lineman, I’m Lance Sheldon’s wife. It’s a pleasure to meet you”“Chandler Lineman” looked at Yvette with a meaningful smile.“Ms. Quimbey, I’m not Chandler Lineman. You’ve got the wrong person.”After he finished speaking, everyone around him chuckled softly and looked at each oth
Sean stood there, looking tall and handsome. He was a head taller than Yvette, so he had to look down at her.“You’re still blaming me for this? It was really an emergency at that time. The old master wanted to deliver the goods that day and asked me to make a choice. He just wanted to instigate our relationship…”Yvette sneered at Sean, who was pretending to be calm.“Instigate us? How is that an instigation? You were the one who made the choice. Why should you get the best of both worlds? It’s worth your while since you exchanged me for your opportunity, right? Sean, what am I to you? Do you think you can show off to me once you get what you want? Maybe you just haven’t worked with the old master’s backer, so you wanted to use me to get further information?”Sean’s face turned gloomy when Yvette said that.Although Sean was infuriated, his eyes remained calm.Yvette’s words were straight on point, exposing his selfishness, ugliness, and motive.She made his self-righteous affe
Yvette was abandoned by Sean to be a plaything for another man.Thus, she might as well kill that bastard. At least then, she would feel satisfied.Sean stared at Yvette with a solemn expression.No one knew what he was thinking about.However, Yvette knew that this kind of psychopath would not regret anything.Sean would only feel that it was thrilling and crazy. Then he would torture her even more and challenge her bottom line.After a long time, Sean took a step forward.He gently lifted his injured arm which was still bleeding.It looked appalling.Sean curled the corners of his lips. “Is this enough? Are you satisfied now? If it’s not enough for you, do you want to stab me again?”His voice was icy and gave others the chills.He was like a lunatic.No one understood him.Everyone looked at Sean in shock and looked at Yvette vigilantly.If she dared to stab Sean again, they would not hesitate to draw out the weapons that were pinned to their waists.All of them had u
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
