Even if this was Sean’s room, Sean still did not give Yvette true freedom.Sean still did not believe her.Yvette stood there with a pale face and looked at the device in Tate’s hand.Tate gently put the device back in its original position and rearranged the sofa. He stood up and walked to a place not far from her.“Ms. Quimbey, if it doesn’t suit your taste, why don’t you go and give the chef some feedback? That way, he can improve based on your suggestions. I don’t understand anything about cooking.”Tate winked, and Yvette immediately understood.She took a deep breath.“Well, there’s still a big gap between the desserts he makes and a five-star restaurant. I feel like making them myself. Is there enough equipment in the kitchen?”“There should be.”Tate said and left the room first.Yvette also followed him downstairs.There was no one in the kitchen.Tate signaled her to go in and stood at the door by himself so that outsiders could see there was a distance between th
The man looked at the chef, Tate, and Yvette with a smile.“Okay, then I won’t frighten Ms. Quimbey. Call Sean and ask him to come back. The old master is still waiting for Ms. Quimbey to have tea.”The chef looked at Tate in a tangle.Tate took out his phone without hesitation.The man walked inside and sat down as if it was his own home.He sighed.“Sean is really something. The old master gave Sean this channel and hopes that Sean doesn’t let him down. If Sean doesn’t do well, the old master will take it back.”The chef smiled and said, “Are you hungry? Shall I make you something to eat?”“No need.”Tate was quick to inform Sean, who did not delay either.In less than ten minutes, Sean had already arrived at the compound.The car engine was just as loud as the helicopter.Sean came in with heavy steps and an icy face.“Mr. Loubon, forgive me for the lack of hospitality since you came over so suddenly without informing me.”Mr. Loubon smiled and stood up with superficia
Mr. Loubon stood there with a heavy expression and did not make a sound.The old master gave the power that he had accumulated over the years to Sean, who dared to take it.Sean thought he had a grasp of all the old master’s network and resources, but that was just his vain thoughts.After the old master vented his anger, he called that number again.He sounded guilty and anxious as he said, “He took her away. It’s my fault, so I’ll find a way to save her. Don’t worry. I said I’ll save her and bring Yvie back safely even if I have to sacrifice my life!”In the end, the old man’s face turned red.The person on the phone said something that made the old master clutch his chest. He could not catch his breath, and his phone dropped to the ground.Mr. Loubon immediately stepped forward and picked up the phone.By then, the other party had already hung up.Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.A subordinate came in and reported, “Mr. Cash is here.”Mr. Loubon frowned and was ju
The gunfire outside was incessant and reverberating.The cold wind blew over the smell of gunpowder which filled the air.Yvette’s face turned pale with fright. She lost her wits.She did not want to die from getting shot by stray bullets.Sean blocked her behind him so that she was within safe range.Yvette had no idea that the danger would come so suddenly.She also did not know that people could die so silently.Those teenagers she saw standing guard with guns just a second ago became corpses on the ground. They would never get up again.She followed Sean in shock.Tate ran to the front to open a path for them, but Mr. Cash’s siege was well-planned. He wanted to trap Sean from all sides and confront him head-on.Sean knew that Mr. Cash had such courage because this was at the behest of the old master.‘Hah… But so what?’ Sean thought.He could only get to where he was in this line of business not because he was benevolent, righteous, and moral.That was all bullsh*t!S
Tate was quite shocked to hear Yvette’s words.Yvette looked fragile and terrified as tears streamed down her face. That cowardice from being pampered all her life was not an act.She looked at Sean with tears in her eyes, which seemed to be filled with worry and affection for him.However, what she said was as cold and sharp as a knife.Tate paused and did not continue to speak.He knew that Yvette did not betray his plan, and that was enough.Tate was just worried that Yvette would be soft-hearted because of Sean’s actions, then his plan would be ruined.However, it seemed that he was overthinking it.Yvette hated Sean far more than he imagined.Outside the door, Sean stood there with a cold and stern face as he looked at Mr. Cash with an evil smile.“Mr. Cash, you can come out now.”Mr. Cash stood up slowly from behind the car door and held his head with both hands in a gesture of surrender.“Sean, I lost. I surrender! From now on, I won’t intervene in your affairs.”Al
Soon after, the doctor arrived.Sean also fainted due to excessive bleeding.He was carried into the room and surrounded by countless people.Yvette could not even squeeze in through the door.She sat in the corner and covered her ears because they were still buzzing.This felt like a dream.In the past when she heard Nicole jokingly talk about her near-death experiences, Yvette just smiled and listened without taking it to heart.She thought that there were not so many dangers in the world because the world today was peaceful, right?Now, standing here in person, Yvette seemed to have a different perspective on all her thoughts.The things Nicole told her did not seem to be tragic enough probably because Nicole held back some of the gory details.Yvette hung her head and felt the tingling pain in her heart.She was sober and in pain.“Okay, all of you can leave. The patient needs some rest. Only a few can stay.”The doctor nervously and helplessly chased everyone out of t
Yvette heard the conversation upstairs and smiled silently. She continued to make the soup with her head lowered.After some time, the chef, Farley, came in from the outside, looked at her, and smiled.“It smells so delicious! If the boss knows that you made this, he’ll be so happy that he’ll lick the bowl clean.”Yvette smiled gently and guiltily as she suppressed the complex emotions in her heart.“He was hurt because of me, so this is nothing.”The chef nodded in agreement.“I heard that. Although the boss used violent methods to bring you here, that’s because he can’t forget you. Ms. Quimbey, if you treat him better, he’ll protect you with his life!”Yvette’s eyes flickered. She looked fragile and sad.“Forget it. It’s all in the past. We’re even now. Not to mention, I can’t go back even if I want to. It’s shameful for the Sheldon family if people find out that I’ve gone through this, so they won’t want me to go back. What else can I do then?”The chef sighed regretfully a
Tate’s expression froze slightly.“But this isn’t good for us. We occupied this place not long ago, and we haven’t taken down the partners completely. If the old master makes a move, wouldn’t we be in a passive position?”Sean’s expression was gloomy as he narrowed his dangerous and sharp eyes.Tate looked eager, which was rare."Boss, we must prepare in advance. Otherwise, our chances of winning won’t be high once they attack. Unless…”“Unless what?”“Unless we can make a deal with Snakehead. He’s the boss here, and Southeast Asia’s biggest drug lord. If we can cooperate with him, we don’t have to worry about the old master’s threats.”Yvette listened to Tate’s words and felt her heart pounding.She vaguely realized something and subconsciously looked at Tate.Tate's face was dark, as if he was just being thoughtful for Sean.Sean also trusted Tate.The room was silent, so much so that Yvette could not even hear their breathing.Sean pondered for a full minute before he sa
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
