Cindy glanced at the child next to her in shock. She thought it was someone else’s child because according to her investigation, Clayton did not have a son and only had one daughter, who was the apple of his eye.Clayton patted Fischer’s head and gently told him, “Sit properly. The ice cream is about to melt.”He seemed indifferent as he turned to look at Cindy again.His voice was faint and light, like smoke.“Ms. Yeager, what are you trying to do? I’m aware of Mr. Ferguson’s affection for my wife. But as far as I know, Mr. Ferguson already has another woman by his side. It’s only a matter of time before he starts a new chapter of his life.”Cindy slowly pursed her lips and said in a vicious and scheming tone, “This was what he said a few days ago. Even if there are other women around him, it won’t stop him from coveting Nicole. Mr. Sloan, you’re a man, so you should know that most men’s hearts and physical needs can be separated, right?”Clayton fell silent and looked calm.Ci
During Eric’s spare time, he thought of Selena, who had not shown up for several days.Selena never contacted him once.She was really on her own.Eric took a deep breath and threw the phone on the table. His chest hurt from anger.He wanted to leave her alone for a few days, but it did not work at all.Eric looked at the time and saw that it was 5:30 pm.He went out with his phone and coat.Mitchell happened to come in with some documents.“Mr. Ferguson, there will be a video conference later. Where are you going?”Eric paused and looked at his watch. His eyes were cold.“It’s 5:30 pm. Of course, I’m getting off work. Why do you always arrange overtime work for me?”Mitchell was speechless.Did Eric mean what he said?When did the senior management ever get off work on time?Mitchell was practically living at the office.Eric turned around without hesitation. “Postpone the meeting until tomorrow.”He went out.Eric actually left…Mitchell stood there with his eyes wi
As soon as Eric went upstairs, he was stunned by the brand-new furniture.He was silent.The furnishing was much better than before. The several bedrooms were designed to be spacious and bright. The furnishings outside were also unique.Moreover, the space upstairs was well-insulated. Once he was upstairs, he could not hear what was going on downstairs.Eric saw the master bedroom and went in. The sound insulation was even better here. The noise would not affect Selena’s sleep at all.He seemed disappointed and distressed.Selena stood there and said, “Look around then. Go downstairs after you’re done.”Eric was silent. He looked up at her.“Will you consider what I said?”Selena wanted to dismiss him quickly and nodded perfunctorily.Eric went to the small balcony of the bedroom and sat there in a rocking chair.Selena was speechless.The man said without changing his expression. “Then you can think about it and follow me back when you’ve considered. I’ll wait for you here
Selena could not help but laugh. She walked over clutching her stomach.“Mr. Ferguson, when did you learn how to bartend?”Eric sat there irritably, but he had to endure it.Hearing what she said, he could only tell the truth.“I don’t. I simply poured some drinks. Anyway, no one can taste the difference after blending the drinks randomly. Those people obviously don’t know how to taste alcohol.”Eric felt that the ladies were easy to fool.Eric made another glass and handed it over.“This is my treat.”Selena had a specious smile. “Mr. Ferguson, did you forget whose territory this is?”“It’s yours, but I made this drink. Can’t I buy you a drink?”He said it righteously without blushing.Selena was speechless.“Mr. Ferguson, you’re lucky that you have a good family background.”“If not?”“You would’ve been beaten to death long ago.”Hearing what she said, Eric could not help but laugh.It was rare for the two of them to get along so peacefully.This was the first time t
“No, thanks. My driver will pick me up.”Taylor smiled.She could hear that Eric was just asking out of politeness. He did not sincerely want to give her a ride home, so she did not push it.Eric nodded slightly.He gave off a cold, stern, and gloomy vibe that made people stay away from him.However, Taylor clearly saw Eric smiling gently at the woman beside him at the auction last time.It was not an illusion.Taylor remembered what her father told her. She was not suitable for business. Now that her father was still around, he could still support her for a while.However, if he dies in the future, Taylor would not be able to control CK Corporation.Thus, Taylor needed a confidant. To be precise, she needed a husband who could help her in her career.Her husband would have to support CK Corporation so that no one would dare to covet it.Eric was the best choice.Taylor did not covet his feelings. She did not care how many women Eric had.She just felt that he was a good c
“Tell CK Corporation that if it doesn’t affect Ms. Caldwell, we can use the second plan.”Eric took his anger out on the netizens.Since he did not want to be taken advantage of, he might as well start making money from them.Mitchell nodded. “Yes, sir.”Eric’s decision was based on the company’s overall situation. There was nothing to criticize about it.In the afternoon, the hot topic gradually lost its popularity.Everyone’s interest in Eric’s personal affairs gradually died down.However, just when everyone calmed down, Ferguson Corporation and CK Corporation jointly launched the focus of their cooperation.For a while, everyone was talking about Eric and Taylor again.Not only that, some people even made up some romantic short stories about them. Some people also photoshopped their wedding pictures.However, neither party responded to the relationship.However, the speculation online was in full swing.Not only that, the stock prices of Ferguson Corporation and CK Corp
Chaz said, “Fruits are very expensive now.”If Eric was a scumbag, Chaz did not even want to give Eric a fruit platter.Selena was speechless.Eric went into the private room. No one followed him over for a long time.He sat there, and his face turned darker as time passed.When he heard what Selena said, Eric kept silent and then reflected on himself.Did he do something wrong?Everyone was speculating about his relationship with Taylor, but he did not respond.Did Selena really trust him?Or did she not care about him?Eric’s mind was a mess from the time he came to the bar until now.It was like a tangled ball of threads.Eric felt anxious.Why was Selena still not here?Eric dialed Selena’s number, but no one answered.The next second, someone knocked on the door and came in.Chaz held a fruit platter and wine while he smiled perfunctorily.“My boss asked me to send these up. Mr. Ferguson, you can tell me if you need anything.”“Where is she? Ask her to come up.”
Keith looked at the door strangely and thought about it for a few seconds.Suddenly, he had an epiphany.Perhaps it was not as Selena said. Eric and Selena probably had an unusual relationship.Earlier that day, Eric and Taylor’s scandal was all over the place.Any woman would not be able to stand it.So, was Selena throwing a tantrum just now?Eric went downstairs and watched as Selena leisurely swayed to the rhythm of the music. She had a smile on her face and was interacting with the people on stage from time to time.Selena looked to be in a good mood.Eric gulped. He was indescribably irritated and frustrated.Immediately, he seemed to have lost his mind as he dragged her out without caring that others were watching them.Eric dragged Selena to the door.Selena’s resistance was futile. Eric would not listen to anything she said.She was speechless.As soon as they went out, Eric relaxed his grip, and Selena took the opportunity to shrug off his hand.She was afraid t
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
