Dominic Young smiled at the side without saying a word. The corners of his mouth twitched.Those endorsements were leftovers that no one wanted, so Dominic packaged it for Xander at a price that was not very profitable.What was more, Xander started off with low-level advertisements, so it would be difficult for him to shoot high-end products.However, no one told him about these.Nicole smiled. “No need to be polite. You should thank Mr. Young for taking care of you.”Xander asked, “Ms. Stanton, why don’t I treat you to dinner?”‘In the meantime, I can get a paparazzi to snap a picture. What a great opportunity!’ Xander thought.Nicole shook her head and refused. “I have to send my brother to the set later, so let’s take a rain check.”“The set? Is Mr. Kai filming a movie?”Xander was surprised and delighted. If he could play a role in Kai’s film, his status in the industry would be instantly elevated.Nicole looked at Kai. “Yes, it’s still under wraps.”Xander’s excited fa
Julie Nixon picked up the car keys and jade pendant with trembling hands and heartache.Nicole frowned. She knew that Julie treasured that jade pendant the most.“What did you do?”The second female froze for a moment and looked at the ground, annoyed and disdainful.“I didn’t do it on purpose.”After that, she turned around to leave.“Is it justified if you didn’t do it on purpose?” Julie’s eyes were red. “So, you’re saying that I deserve it?”The second female looked at her speechlessly. “How much is it? I’ll just get my boyfriend to compensate you.”Nicole furrowed her eyebrows. “You can’t even apologize?”The second female lead recognized Nicole. When she heard this, she dared not retort.She paused and bit her lower lip. It was not hard to apologize, but that woman was aggressive and too annoying.“Lil N, it’s not like you don’t know me. Your brother will help me out, so just leave it be.”Nicole’s eyes sank. Her voice suddenly turned cold.“What did you call me?”Fo
Nicole sat there irritably replying to emails. Kai was not filming today, so she had to pick him up.She did not notice that there was another person next to her, holding a small fan and gently fanning her.Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Xander, what are you doing?”It was a cold day, so why was he fanning her?Xander looked a little embarrassed and squatted next to her chair.“I’m afraid that you’ll feel hot, but I’m also scared that you’ll get too cold.”Nicole wanted to gag.He carried over a plate of fruit. “I just cut this. Ms. Stanton, do you want some?”Nicole pushed it away. “No, thanks.”Xander did not mind it and looked at her with an affectionate smile.“I really didn’t expect that Mr. Kai would arrange such an important role for me. I got to be the second male lead!”Nicole raised her eyebrows in surprise.Second male lead?“I know it must be because of you, Ms. Stanton. How can I thank you?”Xander’s face that looked so much like Eric’s flashed a feminine smile
Nicole wrinkled her brows and looked at Eric.Eric walked in front of her with an aggressive coldness.“You’re going to a hotel?”His voice was low and husky.He seemed to be trying desperately to suppress his emotions.Eric did not want her to see the not-so-good side of himself that was his true self.However, he could not control it. When he saw that face which looked so much like his approach Nicole, the jealousy in his heart surged and spread uncontrollably. It felt like someone gouged out his heart, making the pain unbearable.Nicole was surely aware of what that low-grade fake was up to, but she still allowed his existence, and the two of them were even so intimate.‘She ignored the carefully peeled prawn that I gave her, yet she could accept this little tramp’s offerings?!’ Eric thought.He stared at her delicate features and her clear and cold eyes. He found it hard to breathe.Nicole did not answer his question and smirked. “Didn’t you hear everything?”Since he mi
Eric felt that he could be just like that fake, serving Nicole in a subservient and humble manner as long as she could return to his side.He did not care about his image.All he wanted was Nicole.Nicole’s sweet scent surrounded him, but her gaze was cold.Hearing Eric’s words, Nicole calmly reached out to pat Eric’s face gently.Nicole was one deeply fascinated by his rigid, cold, and perfectly sculpted features.She hooked her lips coldly and arrogantly.“You can’t because you won’t be as good as those that I spend money on.”Eric’s eyes shook fiercely. He felt enchanted by the way she looked down on him and crushed him, which made him beg for more.After being stunned for a moment, he laughed and cupped her cheeks. His eyes were red, not knowing whether it was from blood or tears.“You can pay me. I can learn too.”The tip of his nose rubbed her forehead. There was a slight tremor in his voice as he pleaded.“I’m cheap, and I’m a quick learner.”He threw away his digni
Kai choked.‘Right… I guess Dad will probably be so happy if he heard what Nikki said…’Nicole sat on the side and lowered her head to roll up her sleeves.Since she could not get rid of Eric and he was not willing to give up, she would just need to be more extreme.When he gets sick of her, he would stop being so obsessed, right?Nicole did not want to repeat the same mistake by being with him, so she would put an end to this.After a few minutes, Kai nudged Nicole’s arm.“Look at them.”Nicole looked up, squinted her eyes, and lowered her head again.Eric and Xander happened to be standing together just a short distance away.Next to them were a few staff members, the director, and the assistant director.These two people with similar facial features had different temperaments. Xander had a feminine temperament and looked tacky. He was also a little shorter than Eric.He really could not compare to Eric in terms of aura.Eric finally got Nicole to compromise and give him
Eric’s breathing instantly stalled. The air around him seemed to condense and permeate with a light chill.His eyes narrowed. ‘The first request she made was actually for that counterfeit?!’He licked the corner of his mouth. His narrow eyes carried a hint of gloom.There was some inexplicable discomfort in his throat.“What, you can’t bear to see him gone?”Nicole said, “Of course. He’s my guy that I stuffed in here.”‘How can I let him lose such a good opportunity when I haven’t squeezed out Xander’s remaining value yet?’Eric stared intently at Nicole. The pleasure he felt earlier was swept away in an instant, as if a bucket of cold water fell from the sky and solely poured over his head.He felt cold through the heart.However, he could only stand there and glare at her, not daring to ask one more question.If not, he would just be asking for trouble and making a fool of himself.Kai coughed and felt that he was quite redundant here.Eric was clearly not a match for Nic
Eric’s eyebrows twitched slightly. His chest felt like it had been struck by something.He started looking at the situation from another angle. It turned out that there was another possibility.“You’re right.”Eric spoke in a deep voice.Toto’s confidence multiplied because Eric actually agreed with him for once.Toto said, “So, we must show weakness. You can’t refuse no matter how she tries to torture you. Sometimes, abusive love is also a kind of love…”Eric nodded solemnly. His expression eased a lot.Toto said, “Once you endure this hardship, she’s yours!”......Nicole and Kai left the set and went straight to Julie’s house.Julie lived alone without any relatives.The nanny saw Nicole and greeted her.“Is Julie resting?”“Ms. Nixon is in the study. She doesn’t look very happy.”The nanny was an old-timer, so she could tell Julie’s mood with a glance.Nicole nodded, walked over, and knocked on the door. She did not hear a response, so she opened the door.The room
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
