Nicole raised her eyebrows. âOld Master Ferguson wanted me to get together with Nathaniel to remove you from your positionâĶâEricâs deep eyes sank, but it was only for that front part of the sentence.Soon after, Eric smiled recklessly and indifferently.âThen sorry to disappoint. Nathaniel is recently dating another woman, and theyâre very much in love.âNicole was slightly stunned. She did not notice that he had subtly shifted the focus.She was very curious and asked, âWho is it?âEric did not hide it from her. âKeithâs ex-wife, that annoying woman.âNicoleâs face instantly stiffened. âThis relationship is a bit complicated, right?âAt once, she had mixed feelings in her heart.However, they were both single, so there was nothing to criticize.The kind of wounded woman like Livia dating a playboy like Nathaniel would end up more damaged if she was trapped in that love.âDo you want to go?âEric had to ask twice before Nicole came back to her senses.âOf course. By the w
Ericâs features were deep as he inclined his head to look at Mitchell.âIs Nathaniel cooperating?ââYes, Young Master Nathaniel is very cooperative. He just has one request, which is for you to help hide his matterâĶâMitchell did not expect that Nathaniel was so determined to make a personal appearance in the entertainment industry that he even gave up on exploration.Nathaniel liked that woman so much that he was not willing to expose her identity to the public.That was because once netizens dug up their past, their relationship would most likely end there.Eric sneered. âAlright, but if he dares to stab me in the back, Iâll get that woman to remarry Keith.âMitchell replied, âYes, sirâĶâThis was really torturing!Nathaniel would most probably go crazy after he heard it.Eric rubbed his glabella. Toto came up from the side. âMr. Ferguson, does Ms. Stanton like that gift?ââFind more gifts for her. There will always be one that she likes!âToto was shocked by this bold sta
Kai frowned. âI donât think itâll go to that point. Do you think that Eric Ferguson is a softy if Ferguson Corporationâs leadership can change so easily?âFloyd narrowed his eyes in anger. âHow about we take advantage of them in peril and make them suffer a little?âIt seemed that Floyd was really holding a grudge.Nicole laughed helplessly. âItâs not that easy. I think that Eric knows of Old Master Fergusonâs whereabouts like the back of his hand. He wonât be unprepared.âGrant, who kept silent, suddenly said, âThatâs not necessarily true. If we strike, we might have a chance of winning.âFloyd looked at his eldest son with satisfaction.Sure enough, his eldest son was just like him, unlike Kai, who only knew to destroy his prestige.Nicole paused. âIf it was before today, we can surely do that, but after today, I hope that Eric could win.âIf Eric won, Old Master Ferguson would be exasperated.That way, she could get her revenge.Grant and Floyd looked at her with slight di
Nicole was a little surprised. âBorrow money?âJulie sighed and stroked her slightly wrinkled mask.âRoman owes a large sum of penalty fees, so heâs desperate and came to me to beg for help. I saw that heâs quite pitiful, so I gave him a sum of money. But he didnât take this money to pay off the penalty and used it for cocaine. Heâs just reckless and hopeless.âNicoleâs eyes widened in shock. âAnd then what?âJulie sneered. âWhen I found out, I called the police. He was locked up for a few days and asked me for money again when he got out.âNicole clicked her tongue. âSo, youâre hiding out here?âJulie muttered, âK insists on inviting me over to hide out a few days. That way, he wonât get distracted and do something crazy.âNicole nodded approvingly. âYou should just stay here. Iâm not moving out anyway, so we can keep each other company!âJulie did not answer and sighed.âHow did I find such vermin from the garbage in the first place? Iâm really blind!âOn the surface, Roman
Nicole subconsciously got into the car. Somehow, she felt a little uncomfortable being alone with Clayton.There were still various greeting messages that Clayton sent to her on her phone.Basically, he sent her more than a dozen messages a day, and she only replied to some of them when she had the time.Most of the time, Nicole ignored them. Claytonâs enthusiasm was too obvious.If Nicole rejected Clayton repeatedly, it would just hurt the relationship between the two of them. Not to mention, he saved her.Nicole owed him, but she did not want to dedicate herself to him as repayment.Fortunately, she was not so impulsive as to try to date him.She was so comfortable being alone.The new driver did not know why Nicole got out of the car and came back inside.Suddenly, he remembered his onboarding training by the butler saying that as a driver, he had to take the initiative to open the door for the Young Lady when she got off. He should never let her open the door to get on and
Nicole did not even notice this. She took the bag and led Clayton inside.While they walked, Nicole introduced the current situation of the entertainment circle to Clayton.âAlthough I donât know too much about this circle, I heard that the authorities have set their eyes on the high pay for films here. So, some artists canât raise their prices too high. They can either improve the quality of the film or use other channels to transfer the money to the artists. In short, this business is still risky.âClayton nodded along.âIâve also heard about this. A few famous stars previously have crashed and burned. Their persona collapsed and even implicated the films they were in to not be broadcasted. Thatâs why Iâve just been watching and waiting for the right moment.âNicole forgot that Clayton was a real investor.If he was really interested in showbiz, he would have probably investigated it long ago. It seemed that the excuse he found earlier was still just an excuse after all.For a
Nicoleâs smile was meaningful. âDo you think itâs possible?âShe was on Liviaâs side from the beginning.Keith pursed his lips, came forward, and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear, âOtherwise, Iâll get Eric to come over and take me in. He wonât just make trouble and beat people up. Thereâll be fatalitiesâĶâThen, Keith glanced meaningfully at Clayton, who was at her side.âDamn it! Keith Ludwig needs a good beating!âNicoleâs heart stalled for a moment. âHow dare he threaten me?!âHowever, she did believe Keithâs words. That bastard Ericâs temper was really capable of such things.Although they did not cross each other, once they did, it would implicate others and cause irreversible damage.Nicole forced a smile. A few seconds later, she looked back at the porter.âLet Mr. Ludwig in. Itâs my call.âAfter that, Nicole turned around and left like she was afraid to get this bubblegum stuck to her shoe.Clayton did not ask anything. After they went in, the tempe
Livia Lehman came out and solved a lot of difficult problems. These problems were encountered in everyoneâs daily life, but for housewives, these problems were too sudden and helpless.Thus, the ratings of this program steadily broke the record and became the most popular show of the year.As a result, the director and Dominic Youngâs faces were glowing with a bright, rosy smile.They really earned a lot this time.That was also thanks to Nicole for recommending Livia and for thinking of such a good program.Although Livia looked dull, reticent, quiet, and gentle, they found that her thoughts were very rapid, agile, and out of the ordinary after interacting with her.Thus, Livia provided a lot of highlights in the program, which attracted countless fans.Dominic walked over and spoke with a smile.âMs. Stanton, itâs been a long time since Iâve seen you. I wanted to visit you before, but I was stopped by Kai who said that you didnât want to see me!âNicole gently clinked glasse
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
