The weather was nice, and the air was refreshing.Eric stood there with a faint smile on his face.He clearly disregarded Keith’s comment.Swearing at people showed that Selena was vulgar. Her hot temper and frankness showed that she was stupid. Being beautiful and honest showed that she had no ability to protect herself.Which one of those traits suited Eric?Eric saw how wretched a woman who could not even protect herself was.If he had not helped her, Selena might still be stuck in that horrendous marriage. She might have also become a murderer if she was pushed over the edge.Eric was not a saint, so he did not have much sympathy for her.He was just a little curious when he saw that Selena was gradually revealing her true self.Selena had made herself appear cowardly because of her marriage.Seeing that Eric did not care, Keith said, “Also, those kids only said those words because they heard them from their parents. What do they know? You can’t make people think that you
Selena’s words made Eric pause slightly, but he did not glance at her.Suddenly, there was another splash in the pool.Eric frowned and finally let go of Selena.However, before he could look at her, Selena ran away.Selena seemed to have misunderstood him.Eric suddenly felt a little anxious.However, he steadied his emotions, lifted his feet, and went downstairs.“Young Master Chance fell into the pool—”Someone shouted and attracted the attention of many people.Everyone who was talking inside the villa went out to the yard.When Eric went out, he saw Cindy holding Chance with difficulty, climbing out of the swimming pool.Both of them were wet and shivering from the cold.Cindy looked wretched with her hair dripping with water and her makeup running. However, she could not care less.When Eric walked over, he happened to see Cindy climbing out of the pool.Cindy made eye contact with Selena, who was a step late in saving Chance.Cindy’s gaze was very calm and even a
The people around them gasped and looked at Cindy with complicated eyes.Cindy was no longer calm.Hannah exposing her made her panic. This was unexpected.Cindy’s complexion was glum.However, so many people were staring at her, and Cindy was not a good-for-nothing young lady after all.Cindy had been through a lot, so she was not intimidated by this scene.While she panicked, she endured the cold and stood up trembling. She looked at Eric with forbearance and aggrieved eyes, without the fear and panic she felt just now.“Mr. Ferguson, if this is your goal, then you’ve achieved it. Only a fool would believe this woman’s false accusations against me. I don’t know where you found her and why you made her say such things. But I actually saved Chance just now. Everyone saw it. Mr. Ferguson, if you insist on believing that woman’s words, then I have nothing to say. I came here today just to celebrate Young Master Chance’s birthday. I’m sorry that everyone had to see me like this. I
Selena’s eyes were complicated and resistant.These words had always been in her heart, but she blurted them out at this moment.Selena thought that even if Eric neglected Chance, Eric would still care about his son.However, Selena had a different impression of Eric after today.Selena, an outsider, could not bear to see Chance struggling in the water and wanted to go down to save him, but the person who stopped her was actually Chance’s so-called father.Did Eric have any feelings?Selena was dubious.Would someone who did not even love his son have the ability to love others?Eric terrified her. She felt like saw an abyss, and she was in denial.However, this was a fact.There was no point in trying to deceive herself.However, she was in no position to argue for Chance.Selena was merely an insignificant outsider.She felt cold and wanted to leave this villa as soon as possible.Eric’s gaze gradually turned cold. He could not suppress the rage in his chest, which surg
Chance was still upstairs and recovering from the shock. How could Eric still send Selena home at this time?Selena even felt guilty for it.She did not want to receive Eric’s help anymore.Eric looked at her coldly and stood outside stubbornly.The driver dared not drive at this time for fear of bumping into Eric.Neither side was willing to take a step back.Cindy, who was sitting on the side, gradually became gloomy.She felt cold and was enraged by this scene.Cindy would be a fool if she still could not see how Eric treated Selena differently.She secretly clenched her fists and sneered.Cindy did not look directly at Eric and only glanced at Selena as she said impatiently, “Ms. Nelson, you saw that I was drenched earlier, so I’m not feeling well and have to go to the hospital. I’m afraid I won’t be able to give you a ride back.”Selena pursed her lips and glared at Eric.She blamed him for sabotaging her ride home.Thus, Selena had no choice but to get out of the car
Levi fell silent.“Auntie, I shouldn’t have told you. Just pretend you didn’t hear it. Otherwise, Chance will be very sad.”Nicole forced a smile and patted his head.“Okay, I didn’t hear anything. But you should stay away from the Ferguson family’s affairs in the future.”Levi pursed his lips and snorted.“Chance is afraid of him, but I’m not. He won’t dare to do anything to me!”Clayton chuckled at the side and nodded in agreement.“That’s true. Our Levi is amazing and doesn’t have to be scared of anyone. Also, not everyone is afraid of him.”Levi nodded.Clayton patted his head. “Finish this. I’ll treat you to dinner later. How about KFC?”Nicole stared at him without speaking.Levi said, “Daddy won’t let me eat KFC.”“But I want to eat it, and I promised Chatty to buy some back for her. I can’t just break my promise!”Clayton helplessly shrugged and explained to Nicole.Nicole rolled her eyes. “Who asked you to agree to these unreasonable demands?”Clayton said weakl
Larry deliberately stayed until the end of the meeting.Eric had already returned to his office.Everyone who came out of the conference room had already left that floor.When Larry came out, no one else was there.Only Mitchell was waiting conscientiously.Seeing Larry, Mitchell smiled politely and said, “Mr. Yeager, it’s a great honor that you came to attend this meeting in person.”The corners of Larry’s mouth twitched.“What else can I do? You guys bullied my daughter, and she didn’t dare to leave the house, so I ought to come. Where’s Mr. Ferguson? If he’s free, I’d like to talk to him.”Mitchell smiled. “Of course. Mr. Ferguson knew that you wanted to speak to him, so he deliberately postponed his schedule and waited for you.”Larry snorted coldly and went straight to Eric’s office.Mitchell came in with two cups of coffee afterward.At that time, the air in Eric’s office was condensed and stagnant.Larry sat across from Eric with a cold and gloomy expression.Howeve
Eric looked at Mitchell and said with a cold tone, “We’ll withdraw the charges when the Yeagers officially withdraw from the project.”Mitchell nodded. Just then, his phone rang.It was from the driver who was in charge of picking Chance up from school and sending him home.“Mr. Crawford, is the young master home yet?”Mitchell paused. “What do you mean? School hasn’t ended yet…”The driver was silent for a few seconds before he said with a cautious tone, “The young master had a field trip today, so they ended half a day early. I couldn’t pick him up at the time, so I asked him to take a taxi home by himself. He didn’t go back?”Mitchell’s expression changed dramatically. His gaze shifted to Eric and secretly cursed the driver a million times.“What was more important than picking him up? Do you not want your job anymore?!”The driver hesitated and said, “I… I’ll look for him now…”Mitchell immediately hung up the phone and looked at Eric, trying to remain calm.“Mr. Ferguson
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
