Yvette also looked at Nicole in surprise. Although Yvette’s gown was also beautiful, Nicole’s dress made her exude such glamour and elegance, especially when she smiled.Julie’s eyes lit up and immediately told the makeup artist to complete Nicole’s look. She then patted Nicole on the shoulder and said, “You need to be the finale.”She did not even give Nicole a chance to object and turned to the staff, ordering them to readjust the sequence.Nicole was dumbfounded. Yvette laughed and went up to her. “Yes, that’s great! Our Nikki Baby should be in the limelight!”Julie dragged Yvette over. “Don’t think you can just slack off… You’ll open the show.”Yvette was puzzled. “Huh?”Once Julie arranged everything, she left the coordinator in charge backstage and went to the front to see the effect of her show.The guests had all arrived. After everyone had exchanged pleasantries, they sat quietly in their seats and waited for the opening walk.Besides the spotlights on the runway, the
When the show was over, the venue immediately resounded with thunderous applause. Julie Nixon was calm and collected as she went on stage to say a few words. Everyone eagerly awaited the after-party.Many media personnel went up and asked Julie who was the model for the finale and whether Julie had hired a supermodel from abroad at a high price.Julie laughed and simply asked someone to call Nicole over. “This model isn’t an international supermodel, she’s my partner, Nicole.”Nicole smiled and nodded calmly. She was still wearing that dress. Everyone eagerly took pictures of her. Cameras flashed continuously, but Nicole was extremely cooperative and just stood there to let everyone take pictures of her.After all, Nicole wanted to help Julie and give her brand good publicity.The invited media were well-known in the fashion industry in the country and abroad. A foreign reporter asked, “The design of this gown looks like a bridal dress. Ms. Nicole, you walked so skillfully in this
The moment Wendy Quade saw Yvette, her expression changed. ‘If Yvette could come, then does it mean that Nicole was also here…? I wasn’t mistaken?’In an instant, Wendy clenched her fist and had her gaze affixed to the woman sitting with her back facing them.“Are you deaf? Come and take a picture with me!” Ingrid was annoyed that she was ignored by a model.Yvette chuckled and looked like she was ready to watch Ingrid make a fool of herself. “Who the hell are you? Why should anyone listen to you?”Ingrid gritted her teeth. “It has nothing to do with you! Mind your own business!”She looked at the model who was still unmoved. “Hey, you! I’m the Young Lady of the Ferguson family. How much do you want to be willing to take a picture with me?”‘What’s so big of a deal?’ Ingrid thought.Ingrid only wanted to show off to her friends. Otherwise, she would not have asked for a photo. In the past, Ingrid was used to others surrounding her and asking her for a picture.Nicole raised her
Hearing Nicole’s words, Wendy Quade frowned slightly. Ingrid Ferguson also did not expect Nicole to have this level of relationship with Share.‘The founder of Ingrid’s favorite brand, Share, was actually Nicole?!’ Ingrid thought.Ingrid did not want to get kicked out by security. If that happened, she would become the laughing stock in tomorrow’s headlines. She coldly snorted. “Why are you so smug? I don’t wanna come back to this sh*tty place!”She gritted her teeth and dragged Wendy away.When they got to the entrance downstairs, Wendy stopped in her tracks. “Wait.”“What’s wrong?”Although Ingrid did not want to leave empty-handed, Nicole would really get the security guards to kick them out if she did not leave on her own accord. That would be more humiliating then.“I think I saw your brother. Why don’t we wait for him?”‘If Eric recognized Nicole, would they meet and rekindle old feelings?’ Wendy thought.Thinking about the change in Eric’s attitude towards her since she
Kai’s body stiffened for a moment. Although he did regret what he just said, he could not take back his words.Julie quickly waved her hand. “No thanks. It’s too extravagant. I won’t even use it.”Nicole was adamant. “No way! We don’t have to use it, but we need one, so you must accept this! Our Mr. Superstar isn’t short of money anyway! Right?” Nicole grinned at Kai.Since Kai was paying for the yacht, Nicole was more than happy.Kai laughed and felt a little helpless. “Yeah, it’s just a yacht. Since Nikki said it, consider this a small gift. It’s certainly not a problem for me to buy it.”‘I must live up to my baby sister’s brag…’Julie was very close to Nicole and knew the Stanton family’s strength, so she did not refuse again.“Thanks, Kai,” Julie said.Kai raised his eyebrows and reached out to touch Julie’s head. “Don’t mention it.”Julie was stunned and blushed faintly.However, Kai quickly looked down at Nicole and spoke dotingly, “Satisfied? Can we go home now?”Nic
The night sky was getting gloomier. When Nicole heard those words, she stopped in her tracks and suddenly felt her blood drain from her body. Keith’s words stabbed into Nicole’s heart like a knife, which made her bleed profusely.The scars Nicole tried her best to hide were uncovered, and she could no longer act as if nothing had happened.She desperately wanted to forget those three years, but those people always had to remind her that her existence was worthless!Kai sneered as he said with an extremely dangerous tone, “Keith Ludwig, are you even human?”He knew that Nicole had a bad time while she was staying with the Fergusons those three years, but he did not know any details because his father did not allow them to inquire about Nicole. Thus, the Stanton brothers dared not touch this subject.Now that a glimpse of Nicole’s past suffering was brought up, Keith’s words instantly angered Kai. ‘So, this is how the princess that we pampered and coddled all this while was treated?
Of course, Nicole could see that Wendy was just pretending.Perhaps Wendy even did this intentionally. That little bit of blood on Wendy’s head in the dim light only magnified others’ fear and worry for her.Julie had kicked Ingrid and Wendy out from the venue a long time ago, but they stayed until now just to put on a show like this?Was Wendy just trying to prove that she was more important in Eric’s heart?Once Wendy was injured, everyone had to revolve around her. Nicole would then be chucked to the side again.Unfortunately, Nicole did not follow the script Wendy intended. Nicole did not get upset, nor did she pretend to be strong. Instead, Nicole hit Wendy.‘This feels great!’ Nicole laughed lightly, then went outside.Kai hooked his lips in satisfaction and did not blame Nicole at all. Instead, he gave her a thumbs up and praised her. “Great! Well done, Nikki! Now, this is the Nicole I know!”‘Not that stupid woman who lived like a coward for the past three years…’A tr
What Keith said to Nicole earlier was infuriating. Wendy Quade most probably got kicked in the head because of that, so they deserved it.The corners of Keith’s lips twitched. He looked at Eric and said, “Is she saying that I don’t have a brain?! What did I say that was so wrong?”Eric raised his eyes, which were deep and dark. His tone was cold. “What do you think?” ‘Well… I admit that I went a little overboard, but that’s only because I was too anxious about Wendy’s life, which was Hendrick’s only dying wish! How would I know that Wendy’s slight bruise looked so serious?’“But still… That woman shouldn’t have hit someone!”‘She must be so angry right now! If I really offended that woman, would she post my nudes in a fit of anger?!’ Eric’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. “Take her to the hospital for a checkup. I have to leave first.”“What?” Keith was surprised. “No, I have something to do too!”‘I need to apologize to Nicole before she remembers that she has my nudes! I’m a
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
