Eric’s words were clearly a slap in Old Master Ferguson’s face!How dare he?!The butler at the side saw this and hurriedly stepped up to dissuade them. “Chairman, don’t be angry. The Young Master didn’t mean any harm. It’s for the good of the Ferguson family.”The butler looked at Eric. “Young Master, the Chairman’s health isn’t good, so you shouldn’t provoke him. When one reaches a certain age, just slight carelessness might cause them to enter the ICU. It’ll be troublesome if that happens.”Eric hesitated and his expression became less provoking.“Sorry, Grandpa. You should go up and rest well…”Eric could only compromise this far.After all, his grandfather watched him grow up. Eric would not be able to explain himself if the old man really entered the ICU.Old Master Ferguson’s expression did not improve. He sat on the sofa to soothe his emotions.“You… Eric, I won’t care about Nicole anymore. Bring your sister back.”Eric raised his dark eyes.Old Master Ferguson’s b
Eric looked at it and laughed coldly, but his face turned red with anger.Those private messages and comments kept growing.The media’s restrictions caused them to find an outlet here with Eric. In any case, they had to express something!‘Who the hell is Fabian? Am I not much better than that idol? How dare they say that Nicole and I are not suitable? Are they blind?’ Eric thought.Out of so many comments, only a few people supported Eric.Eric was so angry that he turned off his phone. He was quiet for a moment. ‘Damn it, I refuse to accept this!’He picked up his phone again and looked at all the heart-wrenching comments like a masochist.Then, he simply replied under the posts.[What? Why can’t I compare to that idol? I have money!][You have no say whether we’re suitable or not. Nicole belongs to me!][Who else besides me is worthy of Nicole? Who else is richer than me?][Thank you for your support, but I don’t need your pity!]......In an instant.The heat that was
Julie frowned. “Lil Michael was just here…”Nicole froze and stood up at once. “Let’s split up and find him.”She went to the garden where Lil Michael loved to hang around most. The dim lights decorated the garden beautifully. To cater to Lil Michael’s preferences, the place was decorated like a fairy tale world.Nicole walked over and vaguely saw a few figures sitting there, chatting.Just as she was about to turn around, she heard someone mention Lil Michael.“Is that child an illegitimate son Nicole had with a man outside?”“I think so. Look at how the Stantons treat that boy. They listen to everything he says and spoil him rotten. How would they be so kind to him if he wasn’t theirs?”“How could Nicole do such a scandalous thing…”“Maybe it was because this matter was exposed that she was thrown out of the Ferguson family!”“But Eric still came to declare his feelings tonight. Why does he still want a woman like that?”“Hehe, rich families joining by marriage is all for t
Nicole looked up. Lil Michael rubbed his eyes. “Pretty Lady, I haven’t given you my present yet. Wait a minute…”She smiled and walked inside slowly.Floyd looked at Nicole reproachfully. “How many times have I told you? It’s cold outside, so you have to put on a jacket when you go out…”Nicole smiled and said nothing.Floyd turned to Kai, who was fawning over Julie, and was immediately furious.“What if your sister falls sick? Don’t you know how to look out for her?”Kai was bewildered. “Wha- What did I do this time?”Julie could not help but laugh and gave Kai a push. “Go get a shawl for Lil N!”Kai touched his head, obediently took the shawl, and was about to drape it over Nicole.However, she blocked him and avoided his hand.Only then did Kai realize that her body was very cold. Her lips were also starting to turn purple.It was no wonder that Floyd was angry!“Why did you run out without putting on more clothes? Do you want our beloved father to kill your third brothe
Nicole did not know what to say for a moment. Lil Michael’s gifts really got more and more expensive!Everyone looked at the necklace and knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary product.“That must be expensive.”“Yeah, it’s beautiful. I don’t think I’ve seen it on the market before…”......Lil Michael smiled. “It’s not expensive. It only costs 880 million. I have money anyway, so I want to give it to Pretty Lady, because she’s the prettiest girl in the world!”Floyd laughed. “Oh, you little boy. You have a good eye…”Floyd was happy whenever anyone praised his daughter.Everyone instantly looked at Lil Michael differently.They originally thought that he was just an ordinary child being fostered here.However, how could an ordinary child give someone a gift worth $880 million?Nicole put the pearls away. In a roundabout way, this necklace ended up in her hands. What a twist of fate!However, she could not accept such an expensive gift. She would give the money to Cla
“Yes, yes. I know that you look down on us for being poor, Nicole, but we’re still a family. Why are you so aggressive?”They still had to bite the bullet and deny it.Everyone looked at them and then at the cold-faced Nicole.To the side, Noah coughed twice. “Nicole, don’t be willful. Why are you throwing a tantrum tonight? We’re all relatives here!”Nicole pursed her lips and laughed softly.“I know, Uncle Noah. It’s because we’re relatives that my father and brothers are staying up and accompanying everyone to celebrate the New Year instead of sleeping. It’s because we’re relatives that we’re using the best things to entertain them and prepare elaborate gifts. However…”Her tone changed as she looked at the two women.“Sorry, but if being relatives means that we can hurt each other, then I’d rather disown them.”In an instant, the room became even more silent.No one except Nicole and the two women knew what happened.“What exactly happened?”“Yeah, what’s going on? Nicol
Nicole drew her hand back coldly. Elders? What nonsense.Were they trying to bind her with morality? No way!“Sorry, but I’ve already taken it to heart. Since we’re relatives, I won’t call the police, but I would like these two ‘elders’ to leave my house immediately. Otherwise, I’ll sue them for slander!”At those words, everyone was expecting Floyd to come out and mediate the situation.However, he was so angry that he had no intention to open his mouth.Noah also shut his mouth. He was helpless himself, so he would not meddle in the matter.The grand-aunt was about to say something, but Kai could not hold back anymore and said with an icy tone, “Didn’t you hear Lil N? Are you waiting for a driver to send you back?”“Kai, how can you say that? Not only are you not advising your sister, but you’re even adding fuel to the fire instead?”Everyone did not dare to criticize Nicole, but they could still say a few words to Kai, who had worked hard all night.Kai sneered. “If anyone
Ingrid changed from her usual arrogant and domineering attitude. Instead, she walked over and apologized.“Nicole, I was ignorant in the past and did a lot of wrong things because I didn’t know better. Thinking about it now, I really regret it. I specially asked my grandpa to bring me here so I could apologize to you face-to-face. I was wrong in the past. Can you forgive me?”Ingrid stood there obediently, her gaze flickering to Eric’s face from time to time.If not for Eric’s obsession with Nicole and Ingrid’s desire to go back to the Ferguson family, Ingrid would not take the initiative to visit Nicole for New Year’s!However, in order to return to the Ferguson family, Ingrid could only bear with it because she did not want to go back to the days where she had a meager salary every month and had to acquiesce to people’s whims.Nicole sat there and smiled with a cool expression.“Don’t be silly, Ms. Ferguson. I’ve already forgotten what you did before. It’s best for everyone to
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
