Nicole thought, ‘What kind of stupid show is this? Is their purpose to torture us?!’Miles picked up the diving equipment on the speedboat and put them on.Nicole was stunned. Miles looked at her and pondered for a moment.“Ms. Stanton, did you want to dive by yourself?”‘There’s no escape…’ Nicole smiled awkwardly. “I don’t know how to swim…”Miles was silent for a full ten seconds before he digested this fact.Nathaniel, a professional explorer, had praised Nicole like she was a god, but it turned out that she did not know how to swim?Nicole sat there blinking innocently. She also felt ashamed.Miles paused in his actions. “Then... Just wait for me up here.”Nicole nodded solemnly.Miles put on the wetsuit and dived into the sea so elegantly that he barely made a splash. He truly lived up to his god-like explorer status.After three to four minutes, there was no movement. The sea was calm and unusually eerie.Nicole began to feel anxious and apprehensive. ‘Nothing will h
Eric Ferguson frowned at Nicole. He had a strange and cold look as he did not believe that she would have good intentions.Nicole’s heart sank because he did not recognize her. He did not recognize her as the person who almost drowned, nor did he recognize her as the person he had saved twice.Suddenly, she looked Eric in the eyes and said solemnly, “But you must marry me.”......Nicole shuddered. She came back to her senses in an instant. She stared at the dark seawater and felt that cold, suffocating feeling engulfing her, making it hard to breathe.Those memories seemed too painful. Nicole did not know whether it was the seawater, or something else. She gasped for air, and her face was pale and miserable.The sea was very calm, even the waves were gone.Nicole was really anxious. She looked around and saw that the nearest sailboat was dozens of meters away. She did not know whether they would be able to come in time.She ran to the side of the speedboat and shouted towards
In a flash, Nicole suddenly felt her body being pulled back. She lost all control and her face instantly turned pale. Before she could react, her body was hanging at least 60 meters above sea level.Nicole screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice quickly diffused into the salty sea breeze. Her heart felt like it would jump out of her body.They were going extremely fast. The parasail rope was in tension as it held Nicole and Miles high up in the air. They skated through the cold sea wind following the speed of the boat. The wind scraped their faces, which felt painful, but also... Amazing! Nicole had never felt like this. At this moment, she felt like life was so small and fragile, but also incomparably strong and vigorous.Challenging one’s limits turned out to be really addictive!Miles stabilized himself and went over to pull Nicole’s shoulders to fix her position and direction.Nicole panted heavily. The amazement in her eyes was overflowing.“This is so awesome!”Miles
The netizens watching the live stream were very sharp-eyed to spot this and exploded into a clamor. [Mikayla’s injury is fake!][Mikayla faked her injury! When she was with Nicole, it was the right foot, with Fabian, it was the left foot, then with Nathaniel, it changed back to the right foot again! Was it because she was too tired of limping? Hahaha…][Did Mikayla get the role of the sad little b*tch? She really knows how to dramatize everything!][This is an adventure program. Mikayla didn’t participate at all and even slowed the others down. I finally understand why Nicole wanted to change her teammate so badly after the first game...][I apologize for thinking that Nicole had a bad temper towards that fake b*tch earlier!]......After the program was over, it was already dark outside when Nicole got home.Demi and the driver sent Nicole back to the Stanton Mansion. Nicole was grimy and sleeping soundly in the car when they arrived. Kai could not bear to wake her up, so he
Nathaniel let out a light laugh.“Miles was just dumped by his girlfriend who even made him bankrupt. That girl even cheated on him with a rich businessman, so he only said that she died because he’s still angry about it.”Nicole was speechless.‘How ruthless!’Ferguson Corporation.The people inside the meeting room trembled as they listened to the reports from the department heads. They were all afraid that President Ferguson would be dissatisfied and make an example out of them.The air in the room was cold and heavy. It was the Investment Department’s turn, so the head of the department, Henry Yates, presented their progress.Henry Yates had just been promoted and had not achieved anything particularly outstanding thus far. Thus, if he wanted to sit firmly in this position, he needed to be valued by President Ferguson.He coughed and felt inexplicably excited with his proposal, so he spoke with confidence.“President, our Investment Department has recently been studying
Mitchell followed Eric to the President’s Office. His scalp felt numb from Eric’s icy gaze.“President...”“This is the result of your arrangements?”Eric’s voice was magnetic and condensed without the slightest warmth.Mitchell sheepishly explained.“President, for Young Master Nathaniel’s variety show, not only has the Stanton family shown support, but even Old Master Ferguson gave notice to the relevant media, so…”Eric’s gaze was dark and deep.“Since that’s the case, then Ferguson Corporation has to be the sole investor, understand?”Mitchell immediately responded, “Understood, this can definitely be done.”“Since I’m investing in this show, I want to pay them a visit and experience it for myself.”Eric spoke in a cool and calm tone as he picked up the coffee on the side and took a sip.Mitchell nodded, then looked up again in shock.He took the fastest time to digest this fact.“Yes, of course. You will appear as a mysterious guest. I believe that will definitely bri
Quinn was chided by Old Master Ferguson, so she froze in place.Her status in the family was low, to begin with. Since that incident where she helped Ingrid to steal Old Master Ferguson’s emerald pipe, Quinn had been living in constant fear of getting kicked out of the family.Quinn did not know where Ingrid was sent to, so now, she did not even have a person to talk to.When she was scolded by Old Master Ferguson, Eric just stood by and watched without saying a word. His cold eyes made her feel more uncomfortable.Thus, her hatred for Nicole only deepened.Eric paused and instructed Mitchell, who was standing on the side.“Send Madam back to the villa. There’s no need for her to attend the dinner this evening.”Quinn completely froze in place.Old Master Ferguson also nodded. “That’s good too. We can’t lose this chance to make up with the Stanton family.”They did not ask about Quinn’s opinion at all.Quinn was exasperated by Eric’s attitude. When she left, her face was very
Old Master Ferguson smiled. “We feel bad about how we treated Nicole in the past. If there’s an opportunity, we’ll like to make it up to her.”Floyd waved his hand. “It’s alright, they’re just clueless kids. The past is in the past, and Nicole doesn’t care about it anymore, so we don’t need to take it to heart. Just get along normally.”“Clueless…” Eric repeated in a whisper. His dark eyes flickered slightly, then he curled the corners of his lips. “Yes, we should get along normally.”Eric raised his eyes to look at Nicole and gave her a suggestive smile.Noticing the scorching gaze from across the room, Nicole subconsciously looked up and saw that Eric had been staring at her with smiling, gentle eyes.‘What’s he smiling at?’Nicole choked a little and instantly lost her appetite.She put down the cutlery in her hand and rolled her eyes at him.Somehow, the man opposite her did not get angry. Instead, his smile deepened.Eric saw how vexed and restrained Nicole was and sudden
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
