Yvette held the bottle of water and stood up slowly.She looked at the waves in the distance, blinked, and looked away.Sean had led a thrilling life, which brought him to his death.Yvette did not see Snakehead or his subordinates walking out of the factory, so she figured that they must have left.Everything was over.Yvette would never come to this place again.After getting in the car, Tate handed Yvette his phone.“You can call your relatives and tell them that you’re safe now.”Yvette blinked. The complicated emotions in her heart surged.Life had to go on. Yvette went through so many dangers and trials, so she had to live a good life from now on. Yvette took the phone and called her mother.Soon, Mrs. Quimbey answered with a hoarse and tired voice, “Who is it?”“Mom, it’s me.”“Yvie? Is it really you?! I’m about to die of anxiety. Are you alright?”Mrs. Quimbey was choking up, so it was evident how anxious she was.Yvette relaxed her voice and replied, “Yeah, I’m
Clayton smiled inexplicably.“You’ll know when Yvette returns to Mediania. She’s strong enough to face the facts and accept whatever’s to come.”Nicole sighed.“My baby Yvette has suffered so much. I hope she can return to her usual self soon.”Clayton pursed his lips and smiled.“Mm. You’re right.”……Southeast Asia.Half a month passed.Tate followed the police to investigate the case and was wrapping up his work.None of Sean’s subordinates were left behind, and they were all arrested.Yvette was accompanied by one female police officer from day to night.She did not know if the officer was there to take care of her or to monitor her.However, she did not care.Tate knocked on the door while he carried a fruit basket. The female officer opened the door.Tate nodded and said, “Can I have a few words with Ms. Quimbey?”The female officer nodded and left the room.Tate went in and looked at Yvette, who was sitting on the sofa drinking red wine and watching TV. She look
Yvette walked through the long corridor. As soon as she got out, she saw Lance sitting in a wheelchair in the crowd, looking weak.His high nose bridge and profound features made him stand out. Lance was thinner, so the clothes he wore in the past were a little loose.Yvette’s eyes felt sore and moist.Those long-suppressed grievances and longing seemed to have found an outlet.She had the urge to rush over to him.Her husband was right there, and she would be with him for the rest of her life.Yvette smiled and walked into the crowd when someone suddenly grabbed her arm.People were coming and going in the crowd. Most of them were picking up friends and relatives at the airport.Yvette did not see who grabbed her, but when she went forward again, she was pulled back.She subconsciously looked to the right and saw a familiar person.For a moment, the blood on her face drained, and her pupils instantly shrank.“Farley…”Farley stretched out his finger and made a hush gesture
At that moment, Lance and Yvette’s eyes met, and the surroundings fell silent.There were all kinds of people all around, but they did not seem real.Yvette did not hear the buzzing in her ear.She just felt happy to see such a lively Lance.She was elated.The scene that she fantasized about on the plane might really come true.Yvette always felt that she had lived an exciting life.However, at this moment, she felt that she had never really settled down since she got married.Yvette and Lance started from trying to date each other to actually liking each other.To this day, Yvette knew that she did not just like Lance, she really loved him wholeheartedly.Something in her chest wanted to burst out and tell him how she felt out loud, but when she opened her mouth, she could only feel a sharp pain coming from her heart.Yvette expected this.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Farley had regained his footing, pushed away the people blocking him, and approached them.
The old master talked to Yvette for a long time. He had been living recklessly and dangerously for his whole life. In the end, he gave up everything and turned himself in because of his daughter.The police officer saw that it was almost time and went over to remind him that they had to leave.The old master stood up with his trembling body and looked at the haggard Mrs. Quimbey. His eyes were filled with remorse and guilt, and he blamed himself endlessly.“I’m sorry. I promised that I wouldn’t meet her and recognize her, let alone disturb your lives. But this still happened… I’m really sorry.”He looked at her with sad eyes and restrained feelings. However, he did not dare to reveal his emotions.That was because he was afraid of seeing Mrs. Quimbey’s disgust and hatred.Mrs. Quimbey did not respond.The old master closed his eyes and left with the police.Lance stood there and looked at Yvette’s portrait deeply. He was cold, dismal, and silent.Mrs. Quimbey took a deep breat
Euan talked about their current joint project and suddenly thought of something else.“Actually, I’m exploring another project, but I don’t know if it’ll be successful.”Nicole replied, “Oh? Tell me about it.”Euan clicked his tongue. He could not care less about the mask on his face and said, “I heard gossip from someone that a hot spring has been dug out in Mount Baldwin. It’ll be profitable to build a hot spring resort there…”Seeing his excited expression, Nicole smiled calmly.“Gossip?”Euan’s eyes flickered.“My younger brother is an avid rock climber and has gone to Mount Baldwin dozens of times. He told me about it when he came back this time.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Is there a report from the relevant authorities?”Euan laughed.“If there was, it wouldn’t be gossip anymore. It’s just that it’s in another province far away, so I’m not so sure. Ms. Stanton, if you’re interested, shall we go and check it out together one of these days? Even if it’s not true, we ca
Julie was a half-assed cook, and Kai had no talent at all. Otherwise, he would not have been beaten by Floyd in the past.When Nicole went into the kitchen, they had already cooked several dishes.They made cucumber salad and pickled onions.There were also all kinds of burnt seafood on the side.Nicole could not bear to look at it.Julie smiled and pulled Nicole to the side.“I just ordered your favorite seafood and sashimi from the Millennium Hotel, so we don’t need to serve this.”Nicole nodded in agreement.Even though Nicole cooked before, Nicole did not cook anymore since she dated Clayton because he did not let her into the kitchen.Thus, she was a little rusty.Seeing the unappetizing dishes that could not be served, Nicole also agreed to wait for the arrival of the takeout.As a result, when they went out of the kitchen, they heard Floyd telling Clayton not to help out because it would be too tiring.Kai coughed dryly and objected in dissatisfaction.“Dear father,
Fischer also stood up and said, “Chatty, are you thirsty or hungry? If you’re tired, you can tell me, and I’ll carry you.”Chatty nodded happily. “Okay!”Clayton cursed inwardly. ‘What a two-faced boy!’Fischer smiled happily and walked up. Although he was thin, he was very agile, and he did not need Nicole to pull him along.He was not tired at all. He just wanted to help Chatty relax a bit.Now that Chatty reached her goal, Fischer would continue as usual.Clayton was speechless at first, but he was subjected to Chatty’s brainwashing, which proved quite effective.Chatty hugged and kissed Clayton from time to time and wiped Clayton’s sweat.She said that he was the best dad in the world and praised him, saying that he was really good-looking and even more handsome than Fischer.Chatty also said that she would learn from her mom and find a boyfriend like Daddy in the future.…...After a while, Clayton was much more spirited in carrying Chatty up the mountain.He did not
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
