Nicole sneered and looked at Ingrid Ferguson with a cold gaze. She lowered her eyelids slightly and said, “Ms. Ferguson, are you trying to embarrass me by bringing out this ugly past over and over again? Mind you, I’m not embarrassed. Your family should be embarrassed for treating their daughter-in-law like a maid. I wonder who will ever dare to marry into your family again...”“Anyway, you’re not worthy of being a Ferguson! Nicole, you were clearly trying to seduce my brother earlier. Aren’t you gonna admit it?”Ingrid was adamant that Nicole was deliberately seducing her brother with that kiss earlier. ‘Nicole wants me to apologize?!’Ingrid was resentful and thought, ‘Why can Nicole be so arrogant? Why didn’t my brother back me up?’“Ms. Ferguson, you actually think that I want to seduce Mr. Ferguson?”Nicole laughed lightly. She was never one to beat around the bush and had always gone straight to the point.‘Seduce? I don’t think I’m cheap enough to do this!’That kiss at
Ian Carter glanced sideways at Eric Ferguson. He smiled smugly and recklessly as if he was mocking Eric’s current situation.‘Look at him! Even Eric Ferguson will end up like this…’Keith Ludwig finally caught up to Eric. He followed Eric’s gaze and saw Nicole’s departing back. “Tsk tsk… Ferg, since you’re already divorced, don’t regret it. This is all that woman’s cheap tricks anyway.” Eric cast a sidelong glance at him and said, “Do I need you to teach me how to do things?”Keith suddenly felt a chill on his back and did not dare to speak for a while.‘That woman humiliated Eric in front of everyone. Even I feel like dying from anger, so let alone Eric! Although what Ingrid said was indeed a little overboard, that woman asked for it since she begged to marry Eric in the first place! Was it not her own fault then?’When Nicole first entered the hall, many came over to mingle with her perhaps because of her position in the Stanton Corporation or because of the drama tonight.Si
Ingrid Ferguson’s face stiffened. She screamed and saw that a cup of cold water had been splashed on her face and body.Nicole gently put down the decorative bottle at the sink and dusted her hands. Her gaze was calm as she said, “You asked for this.”“Nicole, how dare you…”Ingrid was so angry that her face flushed red. She was shivering. The dress she wore was from Dior’s off-the-rack collection. Although it was not as luxurious as Nicole’s custom-made dress, it still had an eight-figure price tag. Many celebrities did not even qualify to look at it, but now it was ruined!Nicole smirked. Her smile did not reach her eyes. “Do you really think that I’ll put up with you like before? If you dare provoke me again, I’ll teach you a lesson and settle both the new and old accounts together!”Ingrid shuddered when she saw a penetrating coldness in Nicole’s eyes. She could not help but feel frightened.However, she no longer wanted to think so much at this moment. She was the Young Lady
After all, Ingrid looked very wretched and could not come out of the bathroom for a while.Eric looked at Nicole with a deep gaze. His chiseled face held an inquisitive expression.“Why didn’t you say anything when my family treated you like this?”“What?” Nicole raised her eyebrows. Her eyes were indifferent, and she did not expect him to say that.“Why didn’t you ever tell me?”‘If she had told me, I’d have stopped my family from doing this to her… I definitely would.’Eric scrutinized Nicole with his stunning eyes as if he did not want to let go of any hint of emotion on her face.Nicole laughed. “It’s all in the past. We’re divorced now, so there’s no point in mentioning it again.”‘What’s the use of talking about it now? They will only humiliate me more…’“Since we’re already divorced, what’s the harm of talking about it? You should at least let me know why you wanted a divorce out of the blue, right?” The man suppressed his violently beating heart in his chest and looked
Inside the car, Nicole could hear the lovely and soothing sound of music that was like a refreshing stream of water going through her. It was her favorite violin piece, “Serenade”.Nicole finally felt relaxed at this moment. She tugged at the hem of her dress in fascination, seemingly thinking about something.Grant glanced to the side at his sister. “Lil N, is Ian Carter pursuing you?”He could see at a glance that there was something fishy with Ian Carter.Nicole’s thoughts were interrupted, and she was startled. “Nah, he’s just fooling around. He’ll be back to normal in a couple of days.”Grant looked away and laughed. “That’s good.”“You don’t like him?”That was strange. The Stantons always had a good relationship with the Carters. Otherwise, they would not have allowed Nicole to get close to Ian and Hugh.“He’s had too many girlfriends, and his private life is too messy. He’s not suitable for you, but if you’re happy…” Grant was a little hesitant.Nicole laughed. “What a
Nicole’s alarm clock rang, waking her up from her beauty sleep.Nicole had requested to go back to her apartment last night. She felt a lot more comfortable without waking up to see so many maids. She looked at her phone and saw that the photos from last night’s party had pushed her and Eric to fame once again.[Rich ex-couple suspected to be back together?]It was attached with a picture of Eric and Nicole’s kiss at the end of the dance. It was an ingenious shot. Even the lighting and background looked very artistic.Nicole sneered and did not pay attention to it. She closed the article and opened her email.Logan had already sent Nicole’s schedule to her early in the morning. Nicole washed up and listened to some finance news.Last night’s trouble had all been forgotten after a good sleep and she would not let Eric Ferguson affect her mood again.Yvette kept bombarding Nicole with calls because she had just seen the picture online. She wanted to confirm the truth of the matt
Samantha Lindt hated Nicole, but since Nicole had something over her head, Samantha dared not get into an all-out fight with her.“My experience in leading teams is no less than those on the list, and my performance is one of the best among the senior managers. Vice President Nicole, are you still holding a grudge against me because of what happened last time?”Samantha was obviously a bit discontented.Nicole lowered her eyes and laughed. “No, I don’t hold a grudge against you, but I do remember that you were against cooperating with J&L before this. I’m just afraid your attitude will affect our cooperation, so…”“I will comply with the company’s decision.” Samantha eagerly showed her allegiance.Nicole gave her a perfunctory smile. “This list has been announced at the board meeting, so I’m afraid there’s no way to change it now. Let’s talk about it next time we have the chance…”She had already started to pack up the things on her desk, giving Samantha an obvious signal that sh
Nicole was unhappy when she learned that Eric Ferguson was personally in charge of this project. She did not want to deal with this man, but it was inevitable that they would meet and talk during the cooperation.‘How annoying.’The next morning, Nicole went to J&L Corporation with her team. Gerard Lichman came to receive them and wanted to take them to the research lab.Seeing the latest research and achievements in the lab would give the people of Stanton Corporation an authentic experience of their research progress.Nicole and Gerard were walking while talking. Before they reached the entrance of the lab, a small thing scampered out of nowhere to them. Someone from behind let out a cry of alarm. “Careful!”On closer look, it was a fat tiger with pointed ears and whiskers. It was small, adorable, and so lovable. The little tiger only reached Nicole’s ankle and was very furry. Besides its stripes, it did not have any semblance of a fierce and majestic tiger.Everyone was shocke
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
