Ferguson Corporation.Selena did not have to register or make an appointment to meet Eric because Mitchell personally brought her in.Due to this, many people secretly paid attention to Selena.Selena was beautiful and had a good temperament, and Mitchell personally brought her here, so it was not hard for her to become the center of attention.Soon, word spread throughout the company.Selena did not notice this because she was fuming and wanted to rip that son of a b*tch to pieces!Mitchell could hardly catch up to her.Selena looked at the sign at the door and walked toward the President’s Office.A special authorized card was required to enter the President’s Office, and Mitchell had it.Coincidentally, the office door was not closed.Just as Mitchell was about to catch up to Selena, a male employee behind him suddenly said, “Mr. Crawford, there are visitors in Mr. Ferguson’s office…”Mitchell’s expression changed. At that moment, Selena was way ahead of him.Before he c
Chance, who was suddenly called out, was a little nervous and frightened that his face turned pale.“Daddy, I haven’t had time to read it yet.”Eric frowned. His eyes suddenly darkened.“Did you just wake up? I’ve finished two meetings, but you’ve slept until now?”Chance’s face was red from shame, and he pursed his lips nervously.“I’m sorry, Daddy. I slept too late last night.”“Are you blaming me for giving you too much homework that you can’t sleep at night?”Eric interrupted Chance in a cold voice.There was complete silence in the office.It felt cold and serious.Selena listened with trepidation.She felt sorry for Chance. Would Chance turn out to be a psycho like Eric if he grew up in such a depressing environment?Selena could not imagine Chance, who looked very much like Eric, calling her “Auntie” with a cold face in a few years.It was a scary sight.Selena coughed to interrupt the dead silence.“Eric, children his age need enough sleep to grow. You can’t let
Eric was annoyed that Selena gave up halfway.He just wanted to see what other tricks she had up her sleeve, so he asked Mitchell to get the shirt back from the bar.If Selena did not throw it away, it meant she had not given up on him yet.The result was exactly as he expected.What a duplicitous woman!Eric pursed his lips and pondered for a long time.Then, he said indifferently, “It’s a membership card. I’m just asking if it’s in the shirt. If not, then forget it. I don’t know where I lost it. I’ll just get someone to give me a replacement.”After he finished speaking, Selena was stunned for a moment and became even angrier.“You framed me for stealing because of a membership card? Is it for a facial or a foot massage? Why are you so adamant about a stupid card? Will you die if you lose it and get a replacement? Do you think I’ll take your stupid card and use it? Or is your card used for those shady places? Is that why you didn’t dare to call the police?”Selena asked in a
Selena ate a crab leg. It was so indescribably delicious and fresh!It must be freshly imported that morning.Chance happily took a mouthful of chili con carne and sniffled.Selena said, “It’s so spicy. How did you grow to like it?”Chance said with a smile, “Two days ago, Daddy asked his secretary to bring me here for dinner. I didn’t know what to eat, so I ordered this when I passed by. It was really delicious!”Selena smiled. “I think so too, but you’re still so young, so you shouldn’t eat too much spice.”“I know. Don’t tell Daddy. He won’t let me eat this!”Selena shook her head.“He’s too serious. If I was born into his family, I’d rather not get reincarnated!”Chance laughed and continued to eat with his head down.The two of them ate happily. They looked so relaxed and harmonious as they talked to each other.For a moment, they did not notice that someone was behind them.They did not even hear footsteps.The manager of the cafeteria keenly noticed the man and quic
The firefighter glanced at her meaningfully with a bit of playfulness in his eyes.“Selena, we were classmates in college for two years. You don’t recognize me anymore?”Selena froze slightly as she looked at his face carefully.She finally matched this face with a vague memory in her mind.The young boy chased her for two years, but she rejected him.At that time, Selena was still stuck in her horrible marriage with Derek Norton, and her grandfather had people watching her at all times.Thus, there were hardly any men of her age that were allowed to appear around her.This was Zachary Salvatore who fervently pursued her back then, right?In an instant, Selena had mixed feelings.Why did Zachary look so different from before?She did not pay much attention to him before, but he was so hot now!Selena thought to herself and felt regretful.After Zachary checked the fire hydrant, he went to see the fire extinguisher.However, his face was solemn as he put the fire extinguish
Zachary paused. He looked a little annoyed and helpless.“My boss saw me, so it’ll be rude if I don’t go.”Right.Selena thought about it and nodded.Just as she was about to leave with her bag, Zachary suddenly reached out to stop her. He asked with probing eyes.“Selena, what’s your relationship with Eric Ferguson?”“He’s just an acquaintance.”Zachary nodded and smiled.“Right, it’s quite amazing that you get to know such a big shot. I heard that Eric Ferguson is the most eligible bachelor in the elite circle. His minimum standard for a partner is a Ph.D. holder. Some can’t even make the cut!”Selena listened and felt slightly uncomfortable.Zachary glanced at Selena and smiled.“But he’s not good enough for you, Selena. Everyone knows how beautiful and smart you are!”The gloom in Selena’s heart was swept away, and she nodded happily.When the two of them went into the private room, everyone was already there.There were two other empty seats reserved for them.One w
Selena yelled, “Hah! I didn’t count on you. I shouldn’t have wasted my time at that dinner tonight. If I had dinner with my college junior, this matter might have already been resolved!”She was regretting joining Eric’s dinner.Although it was a rare opportunity to eat with such big shots, this did not affect the closing of her bar.What did she gain from it?Nothing at all.Eric frowned. His face was extremely gloomy.“Can he solve it for you? Hah…”Selena turned her head away and refused to say another word to him.The silence along the way made the driver in front extremely uneasy.This was the first time the driver saw Eric sending someone home, yet that person dared to argue with him.More importantly, Eric did not even kick her out.It was really strange.They finally arrived at the bar.The driver stopped the car, and before he got down to open the door for Selena, Selena already pushed the door open and got out of the car.The bar was closed for the past two days
Selena had not had breakfast yet!Mitchell did not say much and asked her to get in the car.“Ms. Nelson, you can have breakfast at the villa and get the servants to make whatever you want to eat.”Selena paused. “Mr. Crawford, you know about my relationship with Eric. Does he know that I’m going? He won’t think that I’m being delusional again, right?”She did not want to be accused of having a deep affection for Eric and looking for any opportunity to get close to him again.It was really insulting!Mitchell pursed his lips and had a complicated expression.“I’m sorry to trouble you, but I really can’t find a more suitable person to help out on such short notice.”The women around Eric were few enough that Mitchell could count them with his fingers.Mitchell also could not get a man to stay with Eric because it would be strange.“I don’t understand.”Selena shook her head.She was really dumbfounded.Mitchell took a deep breath."Actually, Mr. Ferguson isn’t sick. He’s i
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
