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
“What?”Eric’s face darkened instantly.Selena’s biological father?Eric knew about Selena’s past, so he knew that she was not dependent on her relatives.In the beginning, Eric proposed to help her find her relatives, but she refused.From then on, Eric did not try to look for anyone because he was afraid it would backfire.Selena’s father knew that his daughter was in dire straits, but watched helplessly and did not show up. This only meant that it made no difference whether such relatives were present or not.Unexpectedly, this person came to Eric’s door on his own initiative.He even wanted to harm his own daughter.Eric was instantly shrouded in a layer of gloom.“Who?”“The woman said she hadn’t seen him before, but someone called her and gave her a sum of money to find a chance to attack Madam. We checked and found that the other party was very cautious. They used cash in Euros and banked it into the woman’s account. That phone number is now out of service.”Looking
There was a bit of coldness in Eric’s eyes.“You have met Selena’s father, right?”Eric got straight to the most critical point with his first question.Jennifer trembled slightly. She hesitated but still nodded.“Who is it?”Eric did not have any extra words to say.Jennifer gritted her teeth.“I don’t know him. I saw him when I was young, but now, I almost can’t recognize him.”“Can’t recognize him? Then how are you sure that the person who called you is her biological father? Didn’t you even confirm his identity?”Eric’s tone was a bit cold and frightening.Jennifer said cautiously, “There were so many people on the beach when I arrived. I thought I saw him because he looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure. I felt strange at the time, and I didn’t believe it until I received a call from him. But if you asked me to find him in a crowd, I can’t be sure because there were too many people at that time. I just glanced at him and didn’t look carefully at all…”Jennifer’s voice beca
On the plane, Jennifer was tied to the seat and surrounded by two bodyguards. She could not even move.She did not dare to move and tried her best to reduce her presence.Jennifer feared that Eric and Selena would think of her and throw her into the sea to feed the fish.After all, if she fell into the Atlantic Ocean, she would not even leave behind a corpse.Selena fell asleep, but she could not sleep well.She opened her eyes and vaguely heard Eric on the phone in another room.It was probably a conference call, and he was afraid of waking her up.Selena glanced at the clouds of all kinds of shapes outside the window.She thought about it for a while, stood up, and walked in front of Jennifer.The bodyguard stood up immediately.“Madam.”Selena pursed her lips.“I’ll say a few words to her. You can wait by the side.”The bodyguard nodded without hesitation.Eric told them that Selena’s words were just as good as his words. There was no difference.Fear flashed across J
After all, new and old grudges were not so easily erased.Selena’s face was as calm as ever.She just frowned slightly when he heard Clayton’s name.Selena felt it was impossible that Nicole was involved.Soon, Mitchell coughed. “No, Mr. Sloan had a great time that night and drank in your stead. He was also busy taking care of Miss Liliana, so he didn't have a chance to do anything.”“Then maybe he arranged someone to do it.”Eric spoke decisively.Mitchell paused. “But there are more people who came in the name of Stanton Corporation, Mr. Ferguson. Noah Stanton, the general manager of a branch of Stanton Corporation, also came. Although he didn’t come with Ms. Nicole, he came in the name of Stanton Corporation.”As soon as Mitchell finished speaking, Eric’s expression turned cold.His gaze was stern.He had a slight impression of Noah. Noah’s wife, Jade, had troubled Nicole back then, but she was quickly dismissed.In recent years, Noah’s family was invisible and had no r
As soon as Nicole left, the waiter at the side came over with a bouquet of flowers.Selena was taken aback. Then, she turned her head and sneezed.Eric quickly blocked Selena’s path and glanced at the waiter with cold eyes.“Nobody ordered flowers. Who sent them?”The waiter paused and said anxiously, “It’s from a guest from CK Corporation. They said that they specially sent a bouquet of flowers to congratulate you and your wife on your wedding.”Eric frowned and said mercilessly.“Take it away! My wife is allergic to pollen. Don’t bring it in front of my wife again.”“Yes, sir.”The waiter quickly took the bouquet away.Eric looked slightly relaxed and looked at the two people opposite him.“Sorry, my wife hasn’t been in good health recently. If she drinks wine laced with pollen, she may suffocate to death, so she needs to be extra careful. There’s no pollen in the whole venue.”The boss next to him nodded. “You should be careful.”Noah frowned and was puzzled.“But I rem
Selena pursed her lips and said nothing.Compared with her repeated probing, Eric’s direct method worked.It also saved the most time.Physiologically, kinship was not a choice.Selena never wanted to change her lifestyle because of this relationship.However, she had to rely on this relationship, find that person, and ask him why he did this.A paternity test would take time.Eric once again cast his gaze on Jennifer.Jennifer was sent to a psychiatric hospital, which was more suitable for Jennifer to recuperate than ordinary hospitals.“I’m not sick! I’m not sick! Let me out!”Jennifer slapped on the metal window at the door.The doctor said, “Everyone who is sick will say that they’re not sick. That just means you have a serious illness.”“Nonsense! Let me out! I don’t have any mental problems at all!”Jennifer trembled with anger. She even stretched out her hand to grab the doctor, threatening him to let her go.She was going crazy in here.Everyone around her was cr
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
