After saying a few words, Nicole went upstairs to rest and felt pity for Maverick.Logan was very efficient. Nicole told Logan about a few things before going to bed last night. By the next day, all the materials of the company involved in the Sand City project were delivered to her desk.Nicole was a little surprised when she saw it.âYou didnât sleep all night?âLogan smiled. âThis information isnât difficult to get. Itâs basically common knowledge for anyone in Sand City.âNicole nodded, picked up her cup of coffee, and took a sip. When she flipped a page to take a look, she almost spat out her coffee.She thought that the reason this project lost money was because of some issues with the project. She did not expect it to be so rotten.The annual profit of Zico Company was always in the negative. They had hundreds of employees that took money from unemployment benefits to do the companyâs dirty work.This rotten project became Zico Companyâs only source of income. Due to var
There was silence for three seconds.Nicole also calmed down. âI know. I will be prepared. Thank you.âThis word of thanks came from the heart.After that, she hung up the phone.The string on the bow was taut, so the arrow had to be shot. From the time Nicole decided to take this project, she had to take it head-on no matter what the difficulty was.Eric cursed under his breath. He was even more anxious.He turned to look at Mitchell. âLetâs go to Sand City.âMitchell immediately understood. âDidnât we talk to Mr. Lewis beforehand that we donât have to contact those project people personally?âThis was the advantage of a superior person like Eric Ferguson. If it could be solved with money, he would not get himself involved and put himself in a dangerous situation.Ericâs eyes were sunken and dark. âNicole went. Send more people there to stay on guard.âMitchellâs expression immediately became solemn. âUnderstood.âWhen Nicole went to Sand City, she made a beeline for Zico C
Hearing Nicoleâs order, the people behind her rushed up. Two of them pressed down Hector Leach, who wanted to resist.The rest of Nicoleâs men were very decisive and orderly as they took away several boxes of ledgers under Hectorâs table.Hector stared at them in disbelief. âWTF! Is this woman robbing me?!âThe whole ordeal took less than five minutes. Logan came over and made a gesture. Nicole then waved her hand to signal the bodyguard to let go of his hand that was covering Hectorâs mouth. Hector gasped for air.He was anxious and angry. âYouâĶâNicole smiled innocently. âUs checking your accounts has been agreed by the authorities. If you and Mr. Zelman have any comments, just take it up to the authorities. Oh, you can also call the police.âShe was sure that these kinds of corrupt people would not go to call the police.As for the rest, a push or two would get them to yield. In less than a few days, they could finish checking all the accounts.In fact, there was absolutely
Nicole said, âNo need. Backup will be too slow to be of any help. Theyâre here for the ledgers.âHectorâs series of reactions was by no means his own ideas, which further proved that there were big problems with the accounts.Nicole pursed her lips and racked her brain for a plan.If Hector took away the ledgers today, then they would never have the chance to get it back again.Hector knocked on the car window and impatiently flashed a disgusting smile.âMs. Stanton, come down and letâs talk! Since youâre so sincere about wanting this project, Iâll let you and your people leave safely as long as you leave the books.âThis scene was already shocking enough. Anyone who saw this would have been scared sh*tless.Nicole slowly lowered the car window, revealing her beautiful and bright features with a smile on his face. However, her eyes were covered in coldness.âMr. Leach, unless I let go of it myself, no one can snatch away whatâs in my hands.âHector shuddered. He panicked and f
Nicoleâs attention was on the situation in front of her. Those punks also had a good sense. They were fighting ruthlessly with her bodyguards, but no one went to make a move against Nicole.Out of the corner of her eye, Nicole suddenly noticed that Hector Leach stood up and secretly wanted to run.She wrinkled her brows and pursed her lips. Hector was the key to subduing these people, so she could not let him get away.Nicole was just about to go over and drag him back, when she suddenly heard Logan shouting in panic, âPresident! Be careful!âShe froze and suddenly felt an eerie cool breeze at her back that approached her. She subconsciously became tense and realized that someone was sneaking an attack on her.It also seemed too late to dodge it. It was unavoidable.Just then, Hector suddenly lunged forward to her. His body seemed uncontrollable, full of shock and fear.His speed was faster than the dumbfounded Nicole. He then took the hit from the person who sneaked up from beh
Ericâs move was so nonchalant, but everyone present felt a bitter cold all of a sudden. Hector Leach was so frightened that his legs went limp. He would not even question whether the thing in Ericâs hand would be aimed at his head.Nicole calmly took it over without the slightest surprise and fear.âWhat kind of people are they?!â Hectorâs face turned miserably pale. The fear in his bones made his blood clot as he shivered.Nicole took the gun and spun it around. Eric then took her hand and held that gun, pointing it in Hectorâs direction.The situation was tense.Ericâs face was expressionless, and his tone was morose. âWas it him? Just shoot him.âEric seemed to be a bit impatient. The redness of his eyes was from his unsuppressed anger and ruthlessness. He simply did not care about the consequences. Moreover, he was not afraid to cause trouble.This kind of small commotion was common for him.However, since they scared Nicole, that was a different story.When Hector heard
Eric smiled when he saw that Nicole was staring at the gun in her hand.âYou like it?âNicole paused for a moment and gave it back to him.âA fake can also scare people?âThe smile in Ericâs eyes deepened. He put it away and said, âI have the real one with me. If you shoot, Iâll follow up for you, so you donât have to be afraid.âThis way, he would take all responsibility, so she did not have to be afraid of anything.Eric simply wanted Nicole to do whatever she wanted.Nicole was stunned. Her heart trembled slightly as she looked at him sideways.âWhy did you come?âEricâs smile faded slightly. âI told you that these are deep and dangerous waters, so how can I be assured that youâre here alone?âHis voice was low and raspy as it echoed in the car.Nicole curled the corners of her lips. âThank you, but arenât you afraid that Iâll take the lead and come by to talk to Mr. Lewis about this project?âEricâs eyes faintly flickered. He suddenly looked at Nicole.âYou donât trust
Logan knew what Nicole meant and nodded solemnly. âUnderstood. The situation earlier was too thrilling. Do you want to take a rest first? Or, do you want to go back to the office first? I can take care of the things here.âNicole immediately refused. âNo, Iâm staying here. You should get Jacob Cook to handle things properly.âLogan knew of Nicoleâs temper. Earlier when faced with such a dangerous situation, Nicole did not even frown, so she certainly would not run at this time.Thinking of this, Logan nodded and left. He then arranged for more people to covertly protect Nicole.Jacob was only given four hours and dared not dare to delay for a moment. He led some staff along with the third-party agency to the relevant departments to check the accounts.Once the accounts were almost sorted out, they were all alarmed to see those deficits.Thus, Jacob did not hesitate to call Nicole and report this situation.Nicole was drinking lemonade and doing yoga on the balcony. When she pick
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, âDo you still want to drink coffee? If you donât want this, we can go to my place, and Iâll make you a cup of coffee.âChatty nodded.Fischer let down his hand and naturally held Chattyâs 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, âAre you reluctant about France because of Fischer?âChattyâs eyes turned red.âI donât remember him at all. Daddy, donât mention him!âShe 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.âChatty, now that youâve grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave. He also couldnât contact you, so if you see him in the future, donât blame him.âChatty stubbornly turned her head away, pretending not to care.She was the apple of Claytonâs 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.âEveryone in my class has a boyfriend. If I didnât have one, I wouldnât be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while Iâm young. Otherwise, it wonât be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isnât perfect!âClayton tried to persuade her. âYouâre still young. If you see the world, youâll know that men arenât great.ââThen is Mommy blind since sheâs 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 Selenaâs 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.âI donât 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.âJennifer raised her head abruptly. Her face was extremely pale.âOkay.âShe 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.Jenniferâs 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 Jenniferâs 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.âI liked collecting these a few years ago, but Iâve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!âSelena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicoleâs 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.âThe past is in the past. Letâs forgive each other, okay?âNicole nodded with sore eyes.âItâs a pity I didnât prepare
Jadeâs rudeness made Floydâs face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.âThe 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 arenât part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.âJadeâs complexion was dull.âThen what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I donât care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I wonât rest!âJade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floydâs face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.âYou should go back and wait for the police and the companyâs notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase
Jadeâs face turned pale.âYou should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.âNicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.âAunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. Weâre here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!âJade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.âThenâĶ What did you discuss?âClayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.âActually, 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 didnât have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!âJadeâs face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.âYouâĶ You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!âNicole sneered
