Selena raised her eyes with a smile and looked at their faces one by one.Her eldest aunt’s smile froze at first. She felt a little embarrassed.On the other hand, Jennifer could barely contain her expression. She was embarrassed and frustrated.The eldest uncle was embarrassed. He let out a cold snort and finally said, “Don’t be ignorant. What did Jennifer say wrong? You’re notorious on the internet! If it weren’t for us, the Nelson family, how would you be able to match Eric? We have given you a way out, so you should accept it and thank us. Don’t be self-righteous and make it so awkward for everyone.”The room was silent.Selena chuckled, stood up slowly, and glanced at her uncle indifferently.“If I didn’t know better, I would think that you’re my creditor. Why should I accept whatever you give me? Did you all forget what was written in the will when Grandpa passed away? He left me the family business, not you, Uncle. I gave it up on my own accord because I wanted a clean bre
Eric paused and pursed his lips.“No, they wanted to come by themselves. They said that your maiden family should be at your wedding and came to see you off.”Eric did not think much of it and did not care because he could handle them easily. The Nelsons just wanted to get some benefits from him.He just did not expect Selena to have such a strong reaction.Eric regretted it a little.If he had known earlier, he would not have done this.The eldest aunt stood there in embarrassment and looked eagerly at Selena and Eric.“Selena may be tired, so we’ll go outside first. You guys can talk!”Selena snorted coldly.“Let me make it clear. I don’t have a maiden family. They’re all dead. You know exactly what these people want to use me for. Eric, if you dare to give them any favors, we don’t need to get married. We can go straight to City Hall and get a divorce. Don’t even say sh*t like being from a well-matched family. I’m not biologically related to the Nelsons, so why should I sel
Clayton saw Eric walking over.He smiled brightly and sincerely, and his eyes were warm.“Congratulations, Mr. Ferguson!”Clayton squeezed Chatty, who was in his arms, and said, “Baby, you should congratulate Uncle Eric for getting married!”Chatty smiled at Eric.“Congratulations, Uncle Eric for your happy marriage!”Eric coughed in embarrassment and felt very uncomfortable.“Thanks.”Grant nodded. “Congratulations, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Nelson.”Selena nodded.Nicole walked over with a smile. “Grant, you should address her as Mrs. Ferguson, not Ms. Nelson.”Grant smiled. “Sorry, Mrs. Ferguson, it was a slip of the tongue.”“The wedding isn’t over yet, so calling me Ms. Nelson is a sign of respect. I understand.”Selena said with a smile.Nicole smiled. “Congratulations, Selena! Julie wanted to come, but she couldn’t take a flight because she had serious morning sickness due to her pregnancy. My third brother is with her now. I brought over their gifts though!”Selena sm
Selena was so sick of hearing everyone’s flattery.Eric nodded in agreement.He was more satisfied the more exaggerated the compliments were.Eric looked like he was just deceiving himself.Finally, the people left.Selena restrained her smile and said in a low voice, “I’ll go back and rest for a while. You can stay here by yourself.”“How could you be so heartless and leave me here alone?”Eric held her waist tightly, not intending to let go.Selena clicked her tongue and was about to say something when Chance ran over holding Chatty’s hand.“Daddy, I want to go to France with Chatty!”Eric’s eyebrows twitched.Fortunately, the sky was a bit dark, so it hid his glum face.“What did you say?”“Chatty wants to go to France to find Fischer, and I want to protect her!”Chance said cautiously.Eric looked at his son with dark eyes.Hah!If Chance left with Chatty, Clayton would certainly go crazy!Eric also did not want to be disturbed by Clayton on his wedding day.“Let
Eric walked over, looking strong and confident. However, he deliberately restrained his nature so that people would not feel oppressed.He glanced at Nicole calmly. Nicole consciously took a step back and handed over the things he had prepared.Eric took it over, took out the contents, and slowly got down on one knee in front of everyone.Selena’s face froze slightly.Suddenly, someone shouted. “Look, it’s a drone…”Selena could not help but look up.The night sky, which was originally full of stars, suddenly had countless drones.The drones formed an image of a man on one knee while the woman was standing.The large area was lit up by the drones.Even her skirt and her fingers were clearly outlined.It seemed that their current actions had been infinitely magnified in the night sky.They were on the beach, and the breeze was cool.Selena’s heart was racing.She could subtly detect the movement around her.However, her ears seemed to be covered by a thin barrier.She cou
Eric held a cigarette in his hand. His face was extremely solemn, and his eyes were dark and unpredictable.No one could see what he was thinking.He seemed like a completely different person from the high-spirited groom a few days ago.Eric was gloomy, cold, and wild. His unhappiness found an outlet.Everyone searched the entire hotel, but they could not find Selena, who disappeared.At last, Eric stubbed out the cigarette. He raised his eyes slightly and frowned as he looked at the person in charge of the hotel.“Is there a secret passage in the hotel?”The person in charge trembled slightly. “No…”Eric gave the bodyguards a look.The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and kicked the person in charge to the ground.The person in charge could not get up because of the pain.The bodyguard pressed that person’s head to the ground viciously.Eric sat there with dark eyes.“Be honest. If nothing happens to my wife, I’ll let you go. If something happens to her, I’ll kill yo
Had Jennifer been hiding here for a few days?Selena’s face was pale and extremely glum. She was a little afraid of heights, yet she was hanging over a piece of glass, with ugly carnivorous fish waiting to eat her.She could not calm the fear welling up in her heart.Jennifer smiled smugly and appreciated the look on Selena’s face. It was not an empty threat.She was wearing a bathing suit and walked to the switch that came next to her bare thighs.Selena shook her head in shock.She tried to stop Jennifer but to no avail.Her legs and arms were bound, and she struggled to stand up.Jennifer did not give Selena a chance to speak at all because she gagged Selena’s mouth.Jennifer looked like a different person as if someone had triggered all the malice hidden in her.The next second, Selena felt her body drop into the swimming pool.Selena panicked and felt that it was the end of the world.The water level in the swimming pool reached the highest level. The fish saw their pr
After the doctor patiently explained, Eric’s eyes relaxed for a moment.Eric lowered his eyes and loosened his fist slightly.Thank goodness!Eric felt like he almost lost his whole world and that God played a joke on him.He let the doctor give him injections to reduce the inflammation and clean up his wounds.The bodyguard covered the glass of the swimming pool, and the movement alarmed the silent Eric.Eric raised his eyes and looked deeply in the direction of the pool. His gloomy gaze made people shudder.Soon, the bodyguard pushed Jennifer over.Eric used so much strength in that kick that he probably broke two of Jennifer’s ribs.He was indeed not as righteous and magnanimous as he seemed on the surface.When Eric strangled Jennifer and kicked her chest, he never thought to be merciful and sympathetic because she was a woman.He was like an eagle lurking in the dark. No matter who provoked him, he would fight back mercilessly.Jennifer happened to provoke him.Jennif
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
