Noah looked at Aida and narrowed his eyes with a bit of disdain and lewdness.He pointed at Aida.“Hah! You won’t even call me Uncle Noah anymore, huh? Aida, let me see how long you can pretend. Do you really feel sorry for her? Your family has also fallen from glory. If it were not for Grant, you would end up being someone else’s mistress. How dare you put on airs in front of me just because you gave birth to two sons for Grant?”Aida was so furious that her face turned red. She clenched her fists and slapped Noah.Noah’s face was cold and glum.“How dare you hit me?!”“Why won’t I dare to? You said a load of trash. Even if Grant and Dad are here, I will still dare to hit you!”Aida’s face was cold. Her eyes were contemptuous and distant.There was no need to hide her disgust toward this uncle anymore.It brought Aida great joy to lash out at Noah.Just as Noah was about to fight back, Selena panted and sat up on the sofa with difficulty.“Mr. Stanton, please call a doctor
Panic and shock flashed on Noah’s face.There was anger and chill in his eyes when he looked at Selena.Noah took a step forward and approached her step by step with a sinister and indifferent air about him.Selena met his gaze without fear.“I’m disgusted that your blood is flowing in me, but I will live well so that I can disgust you with my presence!”Noah violently choked her neck and pressed her on the sofa.His actions were vicious, and the veins on his forehead were bulging with determination.“Go to hell and reunite with your mother!”Aida went over to push him in shock.“You’re crazy! Noah, let go!”Aida went to the side and picked up an ashtray to smash it on his head. The blood on Noah’s head slowly flowed down, but he still did not let go.His terrifying look made it seem like he had come from hell.Noah used all his vicious strength in his hands and tightly strangled Selena’s neck.Selena could not breathe, and her face flushed and turned purple...Seeing tha
Aida knew that Grant was angry, so she quickly comforted him.“I’m okay. I was stopping him from hitting Selena. This injury is nothing compared to Selena’s.”Grant gritted his teeth. “I won’t let that double-crosser go!”Grant intended to remain indifferent to Eric’s punishment of Noah, but now, he wanted to add fuel to the fire.Kai was also furious.“Yeah, we can’t let him go! Noah doesn’t even respect Aida. It’s no wonder that he wants to bring down Stanton Corporation. Brother, let’s settle the old and new grudges together!”Grant nodded with dark eyes.Noah’s lewd gaze at Aida made Grant want to gouge out Noah’s eyeballs.Aida was his treasure and someone he held dear. No one could desecrate her.Nicole went over to look at Aida’s injury and said with concern, “You should put on some medicine first, Aida. It must be very painful.”“It’s okay. I just can’t go out to meet guests like this, so you’ll have to work harder, Nicole.”Aida smiled.Nicole nodded. “Don’t worry,
Selena took Chance’s hand and shook her head, but she could not speak.She could only look at Eric, begging for help.Eric carried Chance down from the bed.“Go to bed. Don’t disturb her rest.”Chance turned his head three times and reluctantly left while wiping away his tears.Selena looked at Eric angrily.She was blaming him for not having much patience with Chance.Eric sighed, sat down, and applied the ointment to Selena’s neck.“I’m really not in the mood to think about anything else right now. I’ll apologize to him later, okay?”Selena blinked her tender and watery eyes.They finally found her biological father, so they could let go of all their worries.From the initial shock and grief, Selena felt somewhat relieved now.She felt that God treated her well.Her grandfather saved her and sent her back to hell, but she climbed back up.She also had her own career and this man in front of her.What else could she complain about?Selena was lucky.She did not fall i
Noah had lived in peace for twenty years.The musty smell of the damp room tainted Noah’s expensive suit.Noah laughed loudly, and blood flowed out of his mouth.It was nasty and sticky.Noah could vaguely see the car accident from back then and smell the gasoline from the collision as well as the blood after the woman jumped off the building.Surprisingly, it smelled the same.“Is she dead? I’m glad she’s dead…”Noah mumbled as he grinned.Eric looked at him with a cold gaze and kicked him, breaking several of his ribs.Noah clutched his chest in pain. His face turned pale, and he could not utter a word.The pain was extreme, so his body curled up. However, the sharp pain surged.Eric’s tone was cold. “Are you awake, Mr. Stanton?”Noah coughed up a mouthful of blood.He laughed intermittently.“She’s not dead, huh? What a pity…”Eric saw that Noah was delirious. His eyes darkened.“Watch him. There’s no need to call a doctor. It doesn’t matter if he dies.”“Yes, sir.”
Noah’s commercial crime became a homicide charge.The police’s investigation expanded in another direction.It was only during the interrogation that Noah realized that he had been fooled.His confession was never handed over to the police.Instead, he fell into the trap.Noah wanted to wait for the police to come up with the “admission of guilt” so that he could deny it and tell them about Eric’s illegal imprisonment of him.However, the police did nothing of the sort.Instead, Noah fell into the trap.When he wanted to retract his confession, the police had already started investigating the murders.The police also revoked Noah’s privilege of surrendering when he stopped cooperating with the interrogation.Selena handed over the diary, and the police solved the case with little effort.The basement of Selena’s parents’ house was filled with evidence.Fingerprints, bloodstains, and semen were all well preserved.Although it had been a long time, it was not troublesome to
“Who was it from?”“The investment was from Noah’s account. Just before Noah was arrested by the police, the bank said that Noah transferred the money at the last minute. If not mistaken, this money will be transferred to the Nelson family.”“It looks like Noah didn’t plan to hide his identity for long even if we didn’t attend Floyd’s birthday banquet.”Selena curled her lips and thought that it was still too late.It was as if something grazed her heart and made her emotions surge nonstop like the rough waves on the sea.It felt like an idea was emerging.“No, he’s not that stupid. Eric, I have a feeling that something is wrong. Although my uncle and aunt hate me, there’s no need to kill me. What good will it do them to have me dead?”Selena grasped the most crucial point. “Even if Noah gave them money, they would still end up offending you!”Eric looked at Selena deeply. He stretched out his hand and pinched her face as a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.“Mrs. Fergu
More importantly, Floyd just planted a seed of doubt in his heart from the diary that Selena showed him.It was not until he saw the final result of the police investigation that he realized how heinous his brother was.Noah killed two people just like that and did not feel any remorse.Floyd called everyone over because he had something to say.He held a short family meeting and even invited Chatty and Levi to participate.The family sat in the living room, huddled together.Floyd looked solemn.“Children, Noah’s case has been concluded. We have done everything we can. Eric hasn’t responded so far, which is the best reaction. At least, our family can stay out of it. Nicole, are your people still following Charles Ferguson?”Nicole stroked her chin and nodded.“I was afraid that Eric would do something crazy, so I had to have something on him.”“Okay. Recall your people. We’re at fault first, so don’t make things worse.”Nicole nodded.Floyd pursed his lips. “Noah only enjo
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
