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
Once the door was open, the gunshots outside became more rapid.It was ear-shattering.There was such a big commotion, but there were no screams from outside.How weird.Tres hurried forward, closed the door, pulled the woman back in, and stared at her fiercely.“Are you rushing to die? Why did you open the door?”The woman looked embarrassed when she was reprimanded.Sean hugged Yvette tightly by the side and frowned. He stopped Tres.“Tres, enough. Now is not the time to talk about this.”At some point, Tate jumped down from the window inside the room. He looked a little excited.“Boss, we’ll be safe as long as we go through the window and jump to the balcony of the opposite room. I just checked that there’s no one around.”Everyone was excited.Sean nodded and pulled Yvette’s hand over.Tres put his gun at his waist.“Boss, I’ll lead the way.”The one leading was always in the most danger.Sean did not refuse and glanced at Tate. Tate nodded and said, “I’ll stay in t
When Yvette fell back in horror, the cold wind blew past her ears. Tate, who was behind her, supported her, and Yvette quickly grabbed onto the railing again.Tate’s muscular body jumped over the railing with ease.He then reached out to pull Yvette up.Yvette was so shocked that she could not stand straight. Her legs were limp, and she leaned against the wall.If no one was trying to kill her, she would definitely fall to the ground.However, Yvette did not forget the crisis ahead.She had already seen Tres’s hostility and contempt toward her, but she did not want him to look down on her.Anyway, she was Sean’s woman, so Tres would not dare to.Yvette raised her eyes and looked at the Tres in horror, but he did not even look at her.He just stared at Tate in dissatisfaction.“What are you doing? Why would you save this woman?”Tate adjusted his clothes and said calmly, “She’s the boss’s woman, so I must save her.”Tres laughed in exasperation. His smile was even more hideo
Sean was in a good mood. He glanced at Yvette and tucked her hair behind her ear.“Don’t be afraid. We’ll be there soon. We’ll be free once we leave this place.”Sean opened his arms, looking reckless and contemptuous.Yvette lowered her head and remained silent.Sean did not mind her silence.Tate opened a bottle of red wine and handed them a wine glass each. Sean’s excited eyes were a little red.When Sean handed the glass to Yvette, Yvette did not take it over, so he left it on the side.The remaining three people clinked glasses. The crisp sound was lost in the helicopter’s whirring.Sean went to Southeast Asia.Yvette did not like it there because it was corrupted. It was a drug trafficker’s paradise.However, Sean found it very exciting. It seemed as if he had been longing for this day.Perhaps it was because they were no longer in Mediania, and he knew Yvette well enough to know that she did not have that much influence to do anything abroad.Thus, he was relatively
The room was not locked probably because they knew that Yvette could not run far even if the door was wide open.On the contrary, leaving the door unlocked could show Sean’s trust in Yvette.This sense of trust seemed like a nice gesture, but to Yvette, it felt more like humiliation.However, Yvette still stood at the door to listen in on the conversation downstairs.“Boss, you’re amazing. You poached the old master’s client at the first transaction. That is also the old master’s biggest client. Who knew he would agree to cooperate with you?”“That’s right! The main thing is the location. It’s the main planting ground for coca too, so we don’t need to worry about production or the supply chain again. The sky is the limit! Now, the old master won’t be able to touch you. We just changed the dynamics of this place, and we’re big enough to suppress the old master!”“Yup. Now that we have control over this channel and our boss still has some of the old master’s power, we’ve basically
Sean did not notice her expression. He held her hand stubbornly and laughed.“Yvette, I’m really happy today.”Seeing that Sean did not advance any further, Yvette gradually relaxed.“Happy? You’re happy because you’re addicted to crime, right?”The corners of Sean’s mouth twitched, and his throat moved.“I never thought that I’d be so successful one day. I thought my life was over.”Yvette looked at him mockingly.“You’re happy that you abandoned your bright future?”Sean said, “Now, I have my own career, and you’re back by my side. Yvette, I can give you whatever you want. No one in this world loves you more than I do.”Yvette fell silent when she heard his seemingly affectionate words.She looked out into the dark with erratic eyes.Love?If he loved her, would he have traded her for business?Yvette did not believe that Sean loved her.In the beginning, she already knew that he was a narcissistic opportunist and that what he loved most was himself.At this moment, sh
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
