Nicole and Clayton tacitly did not talk about what happened with Kira blocking the car window earlier, but Julie took the initiative to mention it. Nicole also responded.The corners of Clayton’s mouth twitched, and he just listened to the girls’ conversation.“That woman used to be a model abroad. This time, she has some connections and wants to act in my movie as a model who made a comeback. It’s a secondary role, but it’s still not a small role. The investor wants to stuff her in, but she’s not that talented… Why would I spend so much money to support an untalented person? What a joke!”Julie spoke in front while she rubbed her temples. Her voice was a bit cold.Clayton’s eyes were dark as he glanced at Nicole.Nicole did not seem to mind this. Instead, she seemed more interested in the gossip.“She wants to be an actress?”Julie raised her eyebrows. “That also depends on whether someone is willing to spend money on her, right?”This dinner was probably the most effort that
Eric glanced at his phone, then raised his foot and walked in the direction of the elevator. He spoke as he walked.“Didn’t I tell you to stop thanking me verbally? You only want to thank me verbally to make yourself feel better. I don’t run a charity, so don’t you feel guilty at all?”Selena was speechless.She followed him into the elevator and coughed.“You don’t lack anything, so I really can’t think of what to give you. Why don’t you give me a hint?”Eric glanced at her silently and was amused by her.He hesitated for a few seconds as if he was seriously considering what she just said.“Let me think about it. Are you ready to go bankrupt?”Selena was shocked.She had to go bankrupt to get him a gift?Selena instantly calmed down and did not dare to make a sound.When the elevator arrived downstairs, Selena did not want to go out with him.Eric just got off the elevator when he heard her murmur, “Mr. Moneybags...”Eric immediately turned his head. His eyes were indiffe
Selena pursed her lips and said, “I’ve never seen anything like this abroad, and I didn’t know what kind of exhibition this was since it wasn’t written on the ticket...”Eric reached out and interrupted her with a stern and calm tone, “I don’t care what your motive is, but I advise you to stop having any ideas about me. Your thank-you gift really made an impression, but I appreciate your thought. Not everyone will like this special hobby of yours.”Selena’s face flushed red because of what he said.Did he misunderstand that she was interested in him because she brought him here?Right, normal people would think so.However, whatever she said now was useless.Although Eric did not like the exhibition, he was a decent person and did not leave immediately.When they left, the person in charge of the exhibition came over to send them off.Selena really had nothing to say.She could not explain it, nor could she betray Mitchell.Eric’s driver was waiting at the entrance, so Eric g
Levi and Chance talked and laughed freely.A small dimple appeared on Chance’s face. His eyes were shining, clear, and pure.Eric did not know what they were discussing, but they seemed like they got along well.After a while, Chatty and Fischer also ran over.Levi naturally held Chatty’s school bag and handed her candy from the bag before Chatty stood beside them obediently and listened to their conversation in confusion.Eric was a little startled when he saw this scene from the car.For a while, he did not hear what the person on the phone said.The children were so cute and hopeful.However, when Eric saw them talking and laughing together, he felt a void in his heart.That void could no longer heal, and his life suddenly dimmed.Eric knew he was delusional.After Clayton’s return, Eric restrained himself from thinking about Nicole. If he reduced contact with her bit by bit, she could fade out of his life.At this moment, he felt a sense of despair that he could not gra
After Nicole finished speaking, she shrugged and strode toward her car.Eric stood there with a pale face. His eyes were dark and deep like a cold and bottomless lake.He felt like his heart was being crushed, and the dense pain was overwhelming.It was as if all the strength had been taken from him.Eric really lost Nicole.Nicole got into the car and looked at the back seat as if nothing was wrong.She smiled at Fischer, who was taking out a lollipop and stuffing it into Chatty’s mouth.“Fischer, stop giving her candy. She’ll get cavities!”Fischer quickly said, “This candy is to prevent cavities…”Nicole glanced at him, and Fischer quickly changed his tune, “But it’s not good to eat too much…”As he spoke, Fischer took out the candy that he had just stuffed into Chatty’s mouth.Chatty looked at him in confusion as she thought, ‘But I haven’t tasted it yet!’Nicole nodded in satisfaction.Then, she turned to look at Levi.“Leaf, we’re staying at my house today. Grandpa
Mitchell’s eyes were sore.In this world, perhaps the only person who would miss Angie was Chance.Mitchell quickly squatted down and coaxed Chance patiently and gently.“That won’t happen. You will always be the young master of the Ferguson family. No matter who your father’s new wife is, it won’t change your identity. Chance, don’t be afraid. Although your father seems very strict with you, he won’t choose a woman who treats you badly. He’ll weigh many aspects before he marries someone.”Mitchell did not know if Chance could understand what he said, but he did his best to explain clearly.None of the women on the list were hot-tempered or mean.Otherwise, Mitchell would not have selected them.However, he still thought that Chance, who had red eyes from crying, was really pitiful.If Eric had cared for him more usually, this child would not have been so insecure.Chance cried while hugging Mitchell.Suddenly, Eric pushed the door open and came in. Seeing the two together, E
Selena took a deep breath and quickly stood up.“Wait here. I’ll get you some water.”Selena ran to the next room and found an unopened bottle of mineral water.It was a common brand. Selena guessed that the staff did not have time to keep the box of mineral water in the storage room yet.Selena did not even look at the expiration date, opened it, and poured it into the glass of hot water.Then, she looked at the instructions on the medicine box and found that it was a painkiller of a foreign brand.Selena broke off half a tablet and put it in Chance’s mouth.Chance’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. Before he had time to say anything, he lowered his head and ate it.He swallowed the pill and held his breath for a while. His little face was flushed.After a while, the pain slowly subsided.It seemed that the drug had taken effect.Selena patted him on the back to soothe him.She could not find a tissue in the room, so she wiped Chance’s sweat with her dress.Chance paused
The woman was ridiculed and felt insulted.Her face turned red, and her voice suddenly became sharp.“How dare you say that about me? Do you know who I am? My dad is...”“Ms. Nelson...”Mitchell heard the noise and immediately ran over.He was afraid that a fight would break out if he got there any later.“Ms. Jennings, is there some misunderstanding? It’s best not to argue here.”“Mr. Crawford, this shameless person...”Jayla Jennings pointed at Selena in accusation.Mitchell stepped forward and interrupted her.“Ms. Jennings, Mr. Jennings just mentioned that he wanted you to meet Mr. Ferguson. You should go ahead.”Jayla’s face lit up. “Really?”She smiled and looked at Selena smugly.“I’ll let you off this time. Next time, you’d better watch out and avoid seeing me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”“Are you a pile of sh*t that I have to avoid when I see you?”Selena muttered softly.Jayla’s complexion changed. She was hot-tempered and irritated because no o
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
