For several days, Clayton wanted nothing more than to move his stuff to the hospital so he could stay with Nicole 24/7.Nicole’s foot injury had almost healed, but she had fully seen Clayton’s degree of clinginess, which gave her a headache.Fortunately, Grant was too busy in the company and gave her an ultimatum, so she was discharged from the hospital excitedly.However, instead of moving back to Stanton Mansion, Nicole moved to Crystal Gardens instead. It was an upscale private apartment that had always been in her name.Logan had almost finished packing and accompanied Nicole over to see what else needed to be added.Although Floyd was reluctant at first when he heard about it, for Nicole’s happiness, he could only nod and agree.On the day of the discharge, the entire Stanton family, except for Maverick, who was in the research institute, went to Crystal Gardens.Nicole’s favorite designer specially designed the place according to her style. The interior design combined wit
Floyd closed his eyes and sighed.Although Clayton saved Nicole twice and the Stanton family should be grateful, there was no need to do it in this way.They were optimistic about Clayton’s character, but the fact that he had a child would always be a sore topic.Grant looked at Floyd silently and said indifferently, “It’s just dating, and we don’t know if there’ll be any results. Dad, it’s fine as long as Lil N is happy. Who cares who he is…”His words reminded Floyd that this was not marriage. What was there to fear from dating?Floyd paused for a second. His face instantly became much better.“Sure, we won’t sabotage you. Just make sure you know what you’re doing!”Nicole smiled and nodded.Floyd let out a sigh and stood up, but still could not help but add, “Feelings just add flavor to life, so they’re dispensable. Making money is still the most important thing, understand?”Nicole smiled and nodded helplessly.“Don’t worry. Money first, feelings second!”Floyd nodded in
However, in the eyes of some people, not denying it was the same as admitting it. Thus, Kai was “forced” to become a couple with Joelle.Finally, Kai could not help but unbind them. Joelle went abroad to shoot a movie and tried to get an Academy Award, and their company took the opportunity to announce the “breakup”.Thus, Joelle became Kai’s ex-girlfriend.Everything was going so well, but Joelle actually came back to find Julie?Kai did not even need to think to know that Joelle was definitely up to no good!His relationship with Julie was already jittery like he was walking on thin ice. Joelle’s appearance would cause a greater rift between them.Kai was so angry that he threw the things in his hands, wanting to settle accounts with Joelle.Clayton’s bony fingers washed the vegetables in the water, clean and meticulous.He smiled and said in a calm and deep voice, “Kai, I have dirt on her. Do you want them?”Kai’s footsteps paused, then he turned back to look at Clayton, wh
Clayton sighed. His dark eyes glanced at Nicole silently.“I just want to take care of you personally. To be closer to you, I wanted to buy adjacent houses under all your properties.”Nicole paused for a moment and pursed her lips. “Will you go back to Liberty as soon as the project with J&L is over?”Clayton’s handsome face tightened before he smiled.“Don’t worry about a long-distance relationship. The development potential in Mediania is huge. Why should I go far away?”Nicole raised her brows and did not continue. It would make it seem as if she did not want him to leave.Clayton was about to say something when his phone rang. He looked at the number and frowned before answering it.He did not avoid Nicole, and his profile was sharp and cold as his voice lowered slightly.Then, he hung up the phone. “I have some urgent matters. If you miss me, then call me.”Nicole paused. “Okay. I won’t see you off.”Clayton could not help but laugh. He walked over to touch her hair and
When Mitchell found out that the Stanton family sent a helicopter to pick Nicole up, he could not help but be speechless.It was a huge sum of money. The cost of using a helicopter was much more than the money the Stanton family donated.However, it was not hard to guess that the Stanton family obviously donated a lot. There were no splashes on the internet because they deliberately kept it on the down-low.Eric’s eyes were deep in thought for a few seconds. The silver watch on his wrist revealed its edge, reflecting a cold light.He raised his eyes and looked at Mitchell coldly.“I’m asking about Nicole, not the Stanton family.”Mitchel froze as his face changed slightly.“Toto went to visit her. Ms. Stanton’s foot injury has recovered very well, and she has been discharged from the hospital.”Eric stared at him intently and narrowed his incredibly icy eyes.Mitchell closed his eyes. He could not hide it. The nature of his work did not allow him to hide anything from Eric.“
Eric’s expression was extremely ugly. His black eyes were cold and dark. He took a step back, turned around, and lifted his feet to leave.Joelle stopped him. “Mr. Ferguson, why don’t you come in?”Her hand almost touched Eric’s sleeve, but he fiercely shook her off.It was as if he was afraid of being stained by garbage.His tone was indifferent and low. “Scram! It’ll be easy for me to kill you, understand?”He was warning her. Not only was she not allowed to approach him, but he also dispelled all the dirty thoughts in her heart.Joelle’s face went white.In the blink of an eye, Eric left with his cold air.She pursed her lips, an indignant look flashing in her eyes. “I still have Kai anyway. Don’t try to get rid of me!”Eric originally wanted to go to Stanton Mansion to ask for clarification, but he retreated halfway.He did not dare to. He did not dare to ask questions. He did not dare to look at Nicole’s bright eyes. He did not dare to accept the truth.In Imperial Gard
Although Eric wanted to kill Toto, he had to admit that what Toto said was quite reasonable.However, he still felt that something was wrong.Eric’s cold and stern eyes glared at Toto. He said in a deep and indifferent voice, “Then what do we do now?”Toto said, “You have to call Mitchell back!”Eric looked at him sharply, remaining silent.No one dared to threaten him like this before, much less for an assistant.Toto said, “As far as I know, Ms. Stanton is much more polite to Mitchell than she is to you…”That was true.Eric’s face was dark as he clenched his teeth.Toto said, “It’s better to keep Mitchell as a messenger…”After a long time, Eric snorted coldly. “Fine. Deduct his bonus for one year and drag him back.”“You’re truly the kindest domineering president I’ve ever seen!”Toto’s back was covered in a cold sweat. He really felt like his legs were about to give out. Eric’s eyes were extremely frightening.If Toto had to persist for one second longer, he would not
The old president of Golden Sea Corporation politely came and greeted Nicole.“What an honor to have you here, Ms. Stanton!”Nicole smiled and handed the gift in her hand to the person behind him. “You’re too polite. Thank you for your invitation.”The man glanced at the gift box and knew that the lady’s watch inside was very valuable. He was shocked by Nicole’s generosity. It really was extraordinary!“There are many people coming today. Please forgive me if I’m not able to entertain you well…”There were also several bigwigs coming up from behind, and the man smiled somewhat apologetically.Nicole was just about to nod when she heard a warm and familiar female voice from behind.“Let me take care of Ms. Stanton…”Nicole turned slightly and saw Ava York dressed in a red dress, walking over with a smile.Her dress today was really seductive and revealing, making her look mature and sexy. The red dress split open at the sides of her legs, and every step revealed her long snow-w
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
