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
Nicole could not be bothered to look at her. She would not have come if she had known that a piece of garbage would keep pestering her like this.It was just disgusting!“I’m not interested.”Ava brushed her hair. Her eyes were smug.“Mr. Clayton Sloan will be coming today. Did you know that?”Hearing the words “Mr. Clayton Sloan” made Nicole’s footsteps lurch.Nicole’s eyes held a bit of coldness when she looked at Ava. “You mean, your date is Clayton Sloan?”Ava squeezed her wine glass when she saw Nicole’s cold gaze.“Yes, sorry to disappoint you. He’ll be here soon. You didn’t expect that, did you?”Even if there was a large disparity in strength between her and Nicole, Ava felt that it was worth it as long as she could annoy Nicole a little.Thus, Ava started to lie with a completely straight face.Ava lied as easily as she breathed.Nicole sized her up with a vague smile. “Yes, I really didn’t expect that.”Ten minutes ago, Clayton had still been apologizing to Nicol
Ava was just about to say something vague. According to Clayton’s character, he would not embarrass a woman so much.However, Nicole took Clayton’s phone, entered the password, and opened his WhatsApp.She searched for Ava’s name but could not find anything.Nicole looked at him sideways. Clayton smiled gently. “Adding her was out of politeness, so the least I could do is delete her after.”Ava’s face went white. She did not expect Clayton to speak so bluntly.Ava already knew that Clayton deleted her contact, and her multiple friend requests had been ignored, but she did not expect a full-on confrontation today.In this case, she had really put herself in an awkward situation.Nicole returned the phone to Clayton and glanced at Ava coldly.Her lips curled in a sneer. “Ms. York, I can introduce you to a professional psychiatric hospital that specializes in treating delusions.”Ava sucked in a breath and was just about to open her mouth to refute when Nicole simply turned away.
Clayton laughed in a low voice and reached out to brush the hair behind her ears.“I’ll do anything as long as it makes you happy.”Nicole’s face heated up. Why was he saying words of love in public?It was embarrassing!However, she was unwilling to let him see how embarrassed she was. She looked up, a faint smile on her exquisite features.“Even arson and murder are fine?”Clayton’s smile deepened at those words. “Sure. You’ll be the mastermind and I’ll be your accomplice.”He followed her.Nicole rolled her eyes. The gloom in her heart cleared away and she suddenly felt much more relaxed.She put down the glass in her hand. “I’m going to the ladies.”Clayton said, “Shall I accompany you?”Nicole was speechless. “No. What am I, three?”Clayton pouted. “I am.”He did not want to leave her for a moment.Fortunately, their previous relationship had always been good, so no one would suspect their relationship now.Nicole did not want to be lovey-dovey with him here now. Ma
This low-level game was a trap designed by Ava.Unfortunately, the girl encountered Nicole, and she was quick-witted to see through Ava’s plan at once.The scheme died before it even started.Ava was such an idiot. She was really brainless.Nicole had some doubts. How did a woman like that get to such a high position in Cyndro International?Just as she was thinking, the door in front of her suddenly opened from the inside.Ava was sobbing pitifully.“I’ll let your dad explain it to you. I really had good intentions…”Before Ava could finish speaking, Ava saw Nicole standing there with a smile, looking elegant and cold.The sneer in her eyes was simply too obvious.Nicole heard everything.Before Ava could react, a vase was thrown over and hit her back, causing her to stagger in pain.The girl pounced over and yanked Ava’s hair, not holding back at all.It was clear at a glance that she was used to bullying others.“You still dare to tell on me? I’ve always been displease
Everyone could clearly see the “Atlanta Psychiatric Hospital Welcomes You” logo written on the back of the white coats.Nicole smiled and calmly drank the red wine in the glass, suddenly feeling very satisfied.How would she be so kind as to repay her grievances with virtue?The ambulance she called was naturally the most suitable ambulance for Ava York.That little lady who dared to beat people up was really beautiful and clever. She won Nicole’s heart.When dealing with fake and “innocent” women, they had to be decisive and crisp! There was no need to talk nonsense.Clayton glanced at Nicole from the side and lowered his voice.“Did you do it?”Nicole raised a brow. “If I did, I wouldn’t make it so obvious. It’ll only be internal injuries.”Inflicting pain that could not be seen on the outside. That was Nicole’s way of doing things.Clayton thought about it and then smiled.He was relieved.“She already deserves to be beaten up. I guess there must be many people who want
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
