After Nicole was done handling an urgent work matter, she received a call from Kai and went over to his set.Kai had always been very casual on a normal basis, but when he was on set, he never took it lightly. At work, he was very professional, meticulous, and very well-respected.When Nicole received Kai’s call, he only said that there was an urgent matter and asked her to hurry over.Thus, Nicole went over and was stunned when she saw the people around talking and laughing.Kai came out of the crowd and said, “Lil N, here!”He waved his hand towards her excitedly.Nicole was speechless.Seeing Nicole’s face that looked like she was about to lose her temper, Kai dared not delay another moment and ran over immediately.“Lil N, did you eat yet? I kept a box of takeout for you…”Nicole’s face turned even gloomier as her chest heaved violently. She realized that she was cheated by her third brother.“Takeout?! I ditched dinner with Grant just to come here and eat takeout with yo
Kai was hardworking and had a gentle personality and a strong family background. He even looked so pleasing to the eye when he was cooking.He was really well-trained by Floyd.Julie was stunned for a moment. She converged her eyebrows and chuckled. “Kai has always been the most handsome man.”Nicole could feel Julie’s sorrow that seemed to originate from Kai.Somehow, Nicole felt like the two of them might really have a chance to be together.Roman was sitting there silently like a prop. Although he was a little restrained, he did not try to excessively prove himself.Nicole paused. “By the way, how did you meet Keith Ludwig’s ex-wife?”Ever since that memorable wedding reception, Nicole was a little curious.Julie said, “She’s participated in some events in the past as Keith’s wife, but she was shunned by others probably because Keith didn’t care about her then. I saw that she looked quite pitiful, so we somehow got acquainted.”Nicole nodded. ‘No wonder…’“Yeah, she’s quit
After a long silence, a deep and upset voice finally came from the living room.“When did that happen?”When they turned back, they saw Kai’s bloodshot eyes that were filled with restraint and shock.Julie laughed and looked indifferent. “Not long ago. Roman and I have known each other for so long. We got along well, so we decided to be together. I guess we fell in love over time.”Kai’s handsome face was incredibly gloomy. His fists were clenched tightly, so much so that the veins on his arms were bulging.He was exasperated.Nicole saw the bad situation and immediately cleared her throat. “I just mentioned it in passing. Jules, you should’ve told me earlier, then I wouldn’t have asked.”Julie smiled and glanced at Roman with a gentle smile.“I asked him to come over so that I could tell you.”Julie did not expect to be interrupted by Nicole’s sudden question.Nicole said, “Congratulations! I’ll always support your decision.”“Thanks.”Nicole smiled and felt a little compl
Kai questioned Nicole’s methods, but since Nicole was Julie’s bestie, she would understand Julie best. Thus, Kai had no choice but to half-heartedly do as he was told.Nicole was on the trending topics for three days, during which Stanton Corporation’s and Ferguson Corporation’s stocks soared to such heights because of Nicole’s hype alone. Everyone was envious.Many high society ladies followed in Nicole’s footsteps and intentionally got paparazzi to sneak shots of them. They also wanted to use this opportunity to become bigwigs in the business and entertainment circles.Unfortunately, none of them created much of a splash.Every time one was photographed, it would be brought out and compared with Nicole.[How can they be so shameless to buy the trending topics with that figure? Do they think that we’re stupid?][They can’t even compare to our career-focused President Nicole!][These high-society ladies should just concentrate on spending money. How can commoners like us afford
Eric frowned while Old Master Ferguson spoke unhurriedly.“With your slow and indirect methods, I’m afraid that she’ll only take one look at you when she’s unmarried at 40 or 50 years old. By then, it’ll be too late and you’ll just waste your time for nothing. It’s better if you can do something irrevocable and get her pregnant, then she’ll have no choice but to be with you.”Eric’s face was cold and sullen for a moment.His eyes were sharp and cold as he looked at Old Master Ferguson. His voice was icy. “She’s Nicole Stanton!”Nicole was not a pushover that would not fight back when she was bullied.With the whole Stanton Corporation behind her, was she a regular woman who could be controlled at will?Offending Stanton Corporation would just leave both companies in defeat.Old Master Ferguson let out a cold laugh.“Of course I know that she’s Nicole Stanton. It’s because of her identity that the Stanton family can’t afford to lose their reputation. We can only use this necessa
Old Master Ferguson’s body shook viciously. He turned back and stared at Eric with a deadly glare, seemingly in disbelief.“You…”Eric called for someone to come in. “Send the Old Master back to the Ferguson Villa.”After that, Eric did not look at his grandfather again.Old Master Ferguson’s face was red with anger. Eric was the grandson that he was most proud of and the heir that he had spent all his efforts to train.Eric was different from his father, Charles Ferguson, who was conservative, cowardly, and had no ambition.Since Eric was young, he was smart and bold, so Old Master Ferguson focused on cultivating Eric to be his successor. The company was handed to Eric when he was of age, surpassing Charles. Thus far, Eric was very outstanding.Until now, Old Master Ferguson suddenly felt that he had grown old.He did not have any ability to make Eric listen to him anymore.After Old Master Ferguson left, Eric sat on the chair tiredly with his brow knitted. The dim light seem
The bar manager was stunned by Nicole’s.Such an elegant and young woman wanted to listen to this old-fashioned song?However, since she was the paymaster, her words were decree!The bar manager dared not to show his surprise and looked at her with a smile as if he was looking at a mountain of gold.“Of course! What else do you need?”“Anything I need can be satisfied?” Nicole raised her eyebrows.“Our customers’ needs are our motivation to improve ourselves.”The bar manager smiled. Everything could bow to money.Nicole said, “Turn up the volume then! Who can hear it with such a low volume? The lighting is also too dark to see anyone. Also, I want the blueberry cheesecake from Katelyn’s and luwak coffee from Banley’s…”She pursed her lips and thought that she should not go overboard. “That’s all. Is that possible?”The bar manager looked at her dumbfounded for a full minute.He instantly regretted saying those words.However, thinking about how she used hundreds of thousan
The bar manager rushed down to help the person up. “Young Master Ludwig!”Everyone surrounded Keith in a tight circle.Nicole snorted coldly while Keith trembled.The surrounding people gossiped as they watched.“It’s over… Young Master Ludwig isn’t someone who could be offended! He certainly won’t let go of this woman…”“Yeah, will Young Master Ludwig call the police and falsely accuse her?”“Manager, what should we do? Should we give this woman away?”Keith struggled to open his eyelids and unlocked his phone.“Call and ask my wife to pick me up... This song is very good. Don’t look for trouble!”Keith could not afford to offend Nicole, so he had to disassociate himself from her.At that thought, Keith somehow passed out.The bar manager shuddered and picked up Keith’s phone to make a call for someone to pick him up.Nicole said in a cold and clear voice, “He’s divorced, so get his friend to come and pick him up.”With that, she found Eric’s number on Keith’s phone and t
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
