The man with the baseball cap panicked. “That’s nonsense!”The young girl who looked like she just started junior high school, stepped forward.Her emotions were the most restrained, but her voice trembled.She pointed at the man and spoke in front of the reporter.“That’s him! He’s not a good person. To delay the project, he sacrifices a human life every year and disguises it as an accident. Just because my father is a foreigner who’s unfamiliar with this place and has no relatives here, he killed my father!”The restlessness among the reporters made the man with the baseball cap instantly nervous. Several of his accomplices saw that the situation was bad and wanted to withdraw.However, before they could leave, they were stopped by Logan and some bodyguards.This press conference had a lot of twists and turns, but it was very exciting.Those reporters were still focused on the three victims’ families’ accusations, so they did not notice that Eric bent down to pick up Nicole a
The driver was stunned for a moment and hurriedly started the car.Nicole’s eyebrows were knitted together. “Where are you going? My people are still inside. I want to go down!”Eric’s handsome and fair face showed a hint of mockery.“Your people? When you were in danger, your people weren’t even visible. They’re not as good as me…”Nicole’s eyes faintly flickered. She pursed her lips. “Did you bring those three victims’ family members here?”Before Eric answered, Toto spoke with relish.“Yes, Ms. Stanton. Mr. Ferguson is so attentive to you. He heard that you came to this damn place again and put aside so many things in the company because he’s worried for your safety. When we were on the way over, he was chanting your name all the way. Sigh… We were so touched when we saw it. Where can you find such a great guy?”What Toto originally said was well-founded, but the more he spoke, the more off-topic it got.Toto did not notice Eric’s cold and murderous gaze as well as Nicole’s
Nicole was hooked by the rich and deep affection in Eric’s eyes and was stunned for a moment. Immediately after, she resumed her aloof look.She forcefully drew back her hand, drew a tissue from the tissue box on the side, and wiped her fingers slowly.Eric’s black eyes sank. His eyelashes drooped down. The curved shadows covered the loss within his eyes.“Eric Ferguson, not everything can be solved with an apology. Think about it, since we met until now, how many times have you apologized to me?”Nicole’s words were like a knife that stabbed into Eric’s heart.His body fiercely stiffened, and his face was tense and unsightly.He did not know what to say to justify himself.In her heart, Eric was serving a life sentence.What qualifications did he have to negotiate with her on equal terms?The atmosphere in the car condensed for a moment.In the front, Toto really could not help it. For Eric’s happiness, Toto admitted his fault.“Ms. Stanton, actually…”Toto gritted his tee
Nicole really did not want to talk to Eric F*ckerson again.She raised her eyes and met Toto’s gaze, who was peeking back.Before Toto could shift his gaze, Nicole spoke.“Toto, lend me your phone and I’ll spare you this time.”In the end, Toto was only targeting Clayton, not her.Nicole had already taken revenge and avenged herself.Although Clayton saved her life, she would not turn against Ferguson Corporation for him because Stanton Corporation was behind her.Toto hesitated to hand over his phone.Eric warned him from behind. “You can try giving it…”Nicole was furious.“Eric Ferguson, do you think that they don’t know that you took me away? My people will find me soon.”Eric opened his eyes slightly.His eyes were obscure and dark with a dullness.“Is staying with me so unbearable for you?”Nicole laughed in exasperation. “If it were you, would you be as willing to be with me?”Eric pondered for a few seconds. “I would…”Nicole was speechless. ‘Forget it… There’s
Toto coughed heavily when he heard Clayton’s name.He then pressed the button that automatically pulled the curtain open. The sunlight outside the window was brilliant and blinding, which instantly shone into the car.Nicole subconsciously closed her eyes. The memories from before she slept flooded in her head.‘Oh… This is Eric’s car…’When she raised her head again, she saw Eric’s dark and sullen face. He seemed to be vaguely suppressing his anger as he looked deeply at her.Eric then simply opened the car door and got off.The people in the other cars also came down. They were from the Stanton family.Eric straightened his clothes and nodded slightly. “Big Brother…”The corners of Grant’s mouth twitched.Grant’s face was already glum to begin with because Nicole had run off to Sand City by herself without telling him.By the time Grant knew about it, it was already too late.When Grant was on the way to pick her up, he heard that she had been taken away by Eric.Not only
Nicole’s face became twisted. Her gaze was like dense needles that stabbed at Eric.She wanted to curse him.She also wanted to throw up!Grant was calm and snorted lightly. He ignored Eric and walked forward.He then deliberately interpreted Eric’s cheesy words in other ways.“He’s saying that you’re too fat and take up too much space…”Nicole reacted to it and could not help but break into a cursing fit.“Eric Ferguson, f*ck you!”Nicole felt like biting him. Saying that she had grown fat was the same as questioning a fashionista’s taste and doubting a woman’s self-control.Although Nicole had been living the good life these days and did not go to the gym to exercise, the people around her said that she had lost weight.‘Eric F*ckerson! He’s not only annoying but also blind!’ Nicole thought.Eric did not hear Grant’s words, so he did not understand why Nicole suddenly scolded him. He was so indignant that he did not know what to say.He mustered up the courage to say such
Mitchell gave Toto a speechless look. ‘Never mind… Looks like I was just overthinking things…’Toto would not jump ship!Old Master Ferguson seemed determined to change the person in charge of Ferguson Corporation. He used his own contacts to bring in some old acquaintances while looking for those top executives in the company who had been suppressed by Eric.Within a few days, Ferguson Corporation was in a state of panic.The employees carefully chose their sides.Those with status would be ruined if they chose the wrong team. Those without status were useless even if they picked the wrong side.After all, the small employees were not useful.Even so, Eric was indifferent to Old Master Ferguson’s approach. Many even ran over to Eric to remind him to be careful over and over again.Eric did not take it to heart and behaved very calmly.He did not have any countermeasures, so everyone could only feel anxious for him.Eric’s ability and position were untouchable here, he brough
Old Master Ferguson only dared to make some small moves within Ferguson Corporation, so Eric did not care about it at all.Eric knew that the Old Master would not dare to make a big deal out of it because if it reached the media, the image and prestige of Ferguson Corporation would be ruined.However, Eric fell for it because if the media found out, then as the President of Ferguson Corporation, he would not be able to step down. That was worth the headache for him.Toto was worried. What if Eric was removed from his position?“Mr. Ferguson, we should have prepared earlier. Isn’t Old Master Ferguson your grandfather? He’s too dark. How can he collude with outsiders to create trouble for you? Is he old and confused…?”Eric’s face was dark and sullen. He did not make a sound. Mitchell coughed heavily on the side, interrupting Toto’s insensitive words.“Chairman Ferguson is still the Chairman of Ferguson Corporation until he resigns,” Mitchell emphasized.Mitchell was always very c
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
