Eric could not help but overthink the situation.Did Selena have ulterior motives?When Selena saw Eric standing there looking tall and upright, her face froze slightly. His condescending and aloof attitude made her feel uncomfortable.However, at this time, she could not care less.Selena stood up, looked at him, and said bluntly, “Mr. Ferguson, I came with the doctor’s car earlier. I discovered that something was wrong with Chance, but when I went to inform you, you deliberately ignored me. What were you thinking at that time? Did you think that I was interrupting your blind date? Or was I interrupting you from discussing business with those people? We don’t know each other that well yet, and I was just grateful to you. I don’t think I gave you any hints about wanting to advance our relationship, so you don’t have to guard against me like I’m a thief, right? Yes, I’m not at your social level, and I’m not worthy of speaking to you, but you don’t need to avoid me like the plague, r
Earlier at the banquet, that woman was conversing happily with Eric.She was well-matched with Eric in their temperaments and family background.That woman was Cindy Yeager, the only daughter of the Yeager family, and the actual person in charge of Yeager Corporation.Cindy was a good-looking and strong career woman with high academic qualifications.Eric despised pretentious ladies and appreciated this kind of ambitious woman.That was because they all reminded him of Nicole.Eric did not want to admit it, but it was true.At the banquet just now, Cindy was also the only woman who talked with Eric.Many guests could tell that Eric would only choose a wife who could stand side by side with him instead of clinging to him for support.Thus, Cindy Yeager’s appearance made many women give up.It was impossible for Cindy not to hear the argument between Eric and Selena.When Cindy arrived, she smiled nonchalantly, which made people feel comfortable around her.Cindy did not ask
Mitchell immediately shrank his neck and kept silent.He paused and handed over the Rubik’s Cube in his hand to Eric.“Ms. Nelson gave this to Young Master Chance. He likes it very much. Shall I put it by his bedside?”Chance must be happy to see it.Eric glanced at Mitchell coldly.“Who would like such childish things? Can’t you tell if Chance is just being polite?”Mitchell was speechless and thought, ‘Did Eric eat gunpowder?’When they got to the door of the ward, the doctor had already packed up and left. The dean was still there, obviously waiting for Eric.“Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Yeager left earlier. She asked me to send her regards.”Eric nodded lightly as if he did not care at all.The reason why Cindy told the dean to send her regards was that she did not have Eric’s contact information.Cindy did not take the initiative to ask for it either. Eric was very satisfied with her sense of propriety.However, Eric suddenly thought about what Selena said just now that no one w
Mitchell paused and smiled calmly.“Of course not! Your father immediately left the banquet as soon as he heard about your accident. He loves you very much, Chance. He’ll gradually get better at being a father, so we must give him a chance!”Chance nodded obediently.Mitchell poured out the chicken soup that was light and nutritious. It was specially made according to the nutritionist’s recipe.“Eat slowly. Just take half a bowl first. Otherwise, it’ll be too much for your stomach to handle.”Chance nodded obediently.He lowered his head and ate slowly with a spoon. The veins on the back of his small hand were a little bruised by the needle, which was particularly conspicuous.Chance held the Rubik’s cube in his other hand and did not let go.Mitchell smiled and asked, “Do you like this Rubik’s cube that much?”Chance nodded. “A lady gave it to me.”There were so many people at the banquet last night, supposedly to celebrate Chance’s birthday.However, no one prepared a suit
Cindy’s arm froze mid-air before she smiled and tucked Chance under the quilt.She said, “Chance looks so cute and resembles Mr. Ferguson. He’s even more good-looking than the child actors on TV!”Larry nodded in agreement.Mitchell stood aside and smiled slightly.The Yeagers continued to praise Chance for ten minutes. Fortunately, Chance was able to handle them.Although Chance was a child, he was not rude and spoke politely. He was so innocent that whatever he said made people feel relaxed and happy.After Larry said a few words, he stood up to leave.Before he left, he looked at Cindy.“Mr. Ferguson is busy with work. We have had some business dealings with Ferguson Corporation lately, so you should help him to share some burdens and take care of Young Master Chance. Don’t let Mr. Ferguson get worried because it’ll affect our cooperation.”Cindy nodded and said with a smile, “I know, Dad. I’ll visit Chance often. I like him very much, and we get along well.”“Okay, good.”
Eric’s expression changed subtly, and his face became tense. It was clear that he was also a little anxious.“My apologies, I have a sudden emergency at home and need to go back now. Let’s meet again next time.”Eric glanced at Mitchell, nodded, and stood up to leave.Mitchell apologized to the crowd again to appease them and hurried to the entrance.Eric had already gotten into the car.As soon as Mitchell got into the car, the driver started the car engine.They dared not delay for another second.“How is he?”Eric was dizzy from drinking, so he lowered the car window to get some cold and fresh air.Mitchell replied, “He suddenly developed a fever. They say that he has a reaction to the imported medicine. I’ve already informed someone to go over and have a look.”However, Mitchell did not tell him who that “someone” was.That was because Mitchell was afraid that Eric would scold Selena if he found out.The disadvantages outweighed the benefits.The sky was dark, and the
Selena’s tone was sharp and sarcastic.“Pooh! I’m blind if I can fall in love with a b*stard like Eric! Tell Cindy to relax because there’s no way I’ll like that man!”Mitchell gulped. His heart trembled because of what Selena said.He had never seen Selena so grumpy before.Selena revealed her true nature after the divorce. It was also clear that she was pissed at Eric.That was because Eric said some harsh things to her.People who did not fawn over Eric would not put up with him.Mitchell felt the same way.The cold wind blew, making Mitchell shiver.“I’m sorry that Ms. Yeager spoke to you aggressively, but I begged you to help!”“It’s okay, Mr. Crawford. I helped because you asked, not because of that b*stard!”Selena said bluntly.Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you. I’ll treat you to dinner next time when there’s a chance.”Just as he was talking, the elevator arrived at the top floor.Mitchell walked to the door of the ward and hung up the phone.Thinki
“No one else here pays before they drink. Why are we treated differently?”“Do you think we can’t afford to pay?”......Those people started talking one after another.The tension between Derek and Selena intensified.Fortunately, the music in the bar was loud. An upbeat rock song attracted everyone’s attention.Selena stood there and felt nauseated when she heard what they said.She kept her composure, took a deep breath, and looked at Derek.“You came here a few days in a row without paying, and I couldn’t tally my accounts. If you don’t pay, don’t come again.”Before Derek got mad, Selena looked at the others and said, “Also, it’s only natural that you pay when you go out drinking. Derek and I divorced, so how are we a family? He’s f*cking taking advantage of his ex-wife! Have some shame!”Derek’s friends became infuriated, and they could not calm down after being humiliated by Selena.“Mr. Norton, is this your ex-wife who never fights back when you hit or scold her? She
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
