Connor chuckled disdainfully and was a little speechless.“Sebastian stole someone else’s achievements and connections. Now, he even stole our design?”Seeing Nicole’s puzzled look, Leighton explained, “This laboratory is practically the same as our research institute. The entrance and the location of the anatomy room and exhibition hall are the same as our research institute.”Nicole froze in shock.“Then you guys will be familiar with the lab, right?”“Of course. I can go around with my eyes closed. It looks like today’s operation will go smoothly.”Connor raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound, but he looked much more relaxed.Not long after, someone came over and said something to Leighton, who nodded and looked at Connor.“We’re there. We can go in.”Connor glanced at Nicole.“Ms. Stanton?”Nicole smiled, stood up, and glanced at Luca, who was also ready.Several people got into the elevator.The elevator was very spacious, enough to accommodate nearly thirty pe
Luca asked, “So what are we looking for here?”“We’re looking for someone.”Nicole kept silent and spoke.Regardless of whether the person she was looking for was there or not, Nicole was sure that every corridor and room on this ship was connected.If it was connected, there must be a way to enter and exit.That would be much safer than searching out in the open.This was what Connor told her before he left.Otherwise, Nicole would not have been so sure. If she started from here, she might even meet Connor and the others soon.Luca paused and did not continue to ask.However, he looked around and became more vigilant.Nicole looked at the reflective place. It was a wall that looked like it was made of glass, but it did not look thick enough to be a wall.She stood there and felt her heart beating faster.Afterward, she pushed the glass. Sure enough, the glass door opened.It was quiet all around.Even the white noise from the sea outside seemed to be amplified countless
However, Jeff calmed down quickly.His panic faded.He could even raise his eyes to meet Nicole’s cold gaze and calmly said, “I’ve turned it down because I don’t want to die on the operating table.”Nicole suddenly felt like crying. Her eyes were sore as if an electric current passed through, which almost made her lose control.Suddenly, the phone rang.Jeff paused and took out his phone. Sebastian’s panicked voice came through, “Bro, it’s bad! Connor Upton’s people barged in and raided the place. They’re trying to arrest me. Will you help me think of a way? I can’t get arrested! My career is just beginning, and I can change the history of humankind!”Sebastian’s voice was unstable as he was probably running to escape.It looked like Connor and Leighton already surrounded the place.However, Sebastian brought this onto himself.Sebastian designed the undersea laboratory to be exactly the same as the research institute. Thus, it was a great convenience for Leighton and Connor.
Abel’s attitude was completely different from when they were in the lounge earlier.Perhaps Abel never wanted to follow Jeff since the beginning.Even if Sebastian could not protect him, he was still better than a weird cripple like Jeff.What was more, the situation was still unclear because they did not know what was going on outside.How could Nicole and Luca ruin Sebastian’s career so easily?Abel was not a fool.If he did not do something at this time, he did not know how he would explain it to Sebastian later.Nicole did not dare to move for fear that Abel would accidentally pull the trigger.People like Abel who carried weapons with them abroad disregarded human life, so Nicole did not dare to test his limits.Just as Luca was about to come over, Nicole winked at him.Thus, Luca stood there dumbfoundedly and stared at Abel coldly.Luca was on guard as if he was ready to attack.Jeff was the closest to Abel.However, it was a pity that he could not even stand up, let
The research laboratories on the shore also had self-destruction systems.It was a fail-safe in case others wanted to steal their research to do dangerous things. Thus, destroying the laboratory was better.However, they also had rules for that. If it was not a war, then this system should never be activated.Connor did not expect that Sebastian would also steal this system from them.Sebastian’s undersea laboratory was basically a replica of the laboratory on shore.However, this self-destruction device was not placed somewhere that Connor was familiar with.Connor immediately realized that Sebastian was planning to destroy all the evidence.If that were the case, no one would be able to find this place and see the gory truth.Everyone instantly became alert.Connor was a step too late. When he entered the room, he saw Sebastian standing there with a pale but distorted face. Sebastian had a reckless, cruel, and resentful smile on his face.“Don’t think that you guys can leav
The countdown timer finally came to an abrupt end.That one minute felt like it was taking so long, but at the same time, it also felt very short.In the last few seconds, the ticking timer seemed to drag on infinitely.It sounded like an air defense siren that pierced through the depths of the sea.Nicole’s nervous heart calmed down instantly.The man she loved was by her side, so why should she be afraid of death?How could she ignore everything and leave him behind?Nicole squeezed his hand.Before she could say a word, she heard the explosion.The explosion almost shattered her eardrums, and it seemed to engulf everything in an instant.It was cold and indifferent.At that moment, Nicole felt the impact of the shockwave and was pushed outward.In this deep sea, their lives seemed insignificant.The fish on the other side of the glass was soon shaken by the strong shockwave. The seawater swept over and destroyed everything in its path.All the lights around them went o
Kai came into the room and waved his hand in front of Nicole’s face.“Do you remember me?”He heard that Nicole was badly concussed, so he was afraid that she would become a fool.That was what Kai had been worried about.Nicole blinked. “No…”Kai’s face turned pale. “Leighton…”Leighton coughed and came in.“I see you can’t take a joke, huh?”Kai was taken aback.He suddenly realized that Leighton was making fun of him.Kai looked at Nicole’s face again only to see her sly smile that was not one bit confused or unfamiliar.He suddenly realized that he had been pranked.That little liar!“If you weren’t still on that hospital bed, I would’ve beaten you up!”Kai spoke harshly.Eric said calmly on the side. “Kai has been worried about you. You’re lucky that you can wake up again.”Nicole smiled and suddenly thought of something.“Where’s Luca?”Kai pursed his lips. “Luca is fine. He just has some superficial wounds and a lung infection. You guys are really lucky. More t
The panic caused by the earthquake had not completely disappeared.Therefore, neither Eric nor anyone could replace Clayton’s existence.Kai was still thinking about what Nicole said just now.He felt like he was hit in the head and could not react for a long time.“Are you mistaken just like Chatty?”How could Jeff be Clayton?They had no similarities at all!Nicole looked at him calmly.“Third Brother, I’m certain. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked my life for a stranger.”Kai was silent for a long time.After a long time, Kai asked her in a dry voice, “Then… What should we do? That guy woke up once. Leighton and the others asked him if he was willing to accept the risky experiment and said that they could use Sebastian’s method. But they’ll change the risk assessment and experiment methods. This will give him a chance to stand up again. But if it fails, his lower body will be completely amputated. He already agreed to it.”Nicole’s expression suddenly changed, and her lip
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
