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
Eric’s voice was low and raspy as if he was deliberately coaxing her, unknowingly drawing closer to her.Nicole’s eye twitched. She clearly felt that there was something wrong with Eric.She subconsciously looked at Clayton beside her. At that moment, Clayton’s warm and modest face was cold.Noticing Nicole’s reaction, Eric’s face became even gloomier.As expected…Nicole smiled, her attitude somewhat detached. “The doctor didn’t allow me to use my phone, and I forgot about it after I was discharged. Sorry.”Eric’s face stiffened faintly. He knew that it was just an excuse, but he had to believe it.“It’s okay. I’m relieved to see you standing well here.”The music started playing.Eric’s eyes flickered and he suddenly extended his hand. “May I have this dance?”Nicole did not move. She looked at his extended hand silently and smiled.The last time she danced with him, it was during a party they attended together after the divorce. Back then, her identity had not been expose
The air stagnated, and there seemed to be a chill gradually permeating Eric’s body.He said the words through gritted teeth. It was like the word stabbed him in the chest.Clayton stepped forward and smiled gently.“I’m very honored to be her boyfriend. Mr. Ferguson, please stay away from my girlfriend in the future.”It was a great feeling to warn others, especially with his identity as Nicole’s boyfriend!Eric’s eyes were bloodshot. He almost snapped from anger, but he tried his best to restrain his emotions.Even if his heart was dripping with blood, he did not want to embarrass Nicole here.Eric was scared that Nicole would be afraid if she saw him lose control.He took a deep breath and stared at her closely.“Come out. You know what will happen if you don’t.”Then, Eric turned and left.The garden outside was chilly and quiet, bringing with it a cold breeze.He stood there immersed in the shadows. His cold face was dark and obscure.Nicole paused and felt slightly ov
Besides saving Nicole twice by luck, Eric really could not figure out what else Clayton had for her to like him.That was gratitude, not love.He wanted to let Nicole recognize that clearly. Do not be fooled by him just because of gratitude!Nicole was silent for a few seconds before her voice lowered.“I’m together with him because I know what kind of person he is, but I don’t have to explain it to other people.”Lil Michael’s existence could be considered a stain to Clayton.However, Nicole never minded it. She only felt heartache on behalf of Clayton.Eric’s fist tightened and loosened.His voice was hoarse. “I can also risk my life for you, Nicole…”His tone was almost pleading.Nicole’s eyes moved slightly as she looked at him coldly and seriously.“Mr. Ferguson, it has been proven that we’re not suitable. Please stop wasting your time on me. I hope that our relationship will just remain as business partners…”Just as she spoke, Clayton could not hold back anymore and
After Clayton heard her words, the corners of his mouth swelled with a warm smile.He was completely reassured.From the beginning, Nicole had never said “I like you” before, but she was already prepared to like him.That was enough.Eric was not important. No matter what Eric did, it was impossible for him to get Nicole’s heart again.Clayton held her hand and did not let go.Although Nicole was not used to it, she did not feel uncomfortable.Clayton sent her to her door but did not go in.He looked at her with a gentle smile. “Goodnight, Nicole.”Clayton lived just upstairs, so close to her.Nicole smiled and waved. “Goodnight.”The two of them stood face to face, no one leaving first.“You go first?” Nicole suggested.Clayton said, “You go in first.”......The two of them struggled for a while and Nicole’s face quietly grew red.The phone in the room suddenly rang, and she sighed in relief. “Okay, I’ll go in first!”She ran inside as if she was fleeing.Nicole hea
Nicole nodded calmly and looked at them.“My bodyguards will come over to help in a moment. Just let them in.Then, she drove straight in.As soon as Nicole got out of the car, she saw Julie who was hurrying over.The two of them exchanged a glance. Before they could speak, the car behind them suddenly lit up its headlights.Nicole turned around and looked at the three cars that stopped in front of her.Then, a dozen people dressed in black shirts and trousers got out. Judging by their stern expressions, it was clear that they were not ordinary.They were all bodyguards for the Stanton family.Then, Grant got out of the car and walked over expressionlessly.“Let’s go…”Julie looked like she was a little stunned by the momentum but quickly reacted. It was indeed a little risky if it were just Nicole and her.Nicole did not expect Grant to come over personally, but she did not think much about it. Saving Yvette was more important.They arrived at the door.Julie knocked on t
Hellen’s face was a little pale. Her lips trembled under Nicole and Julie’s cold eyes.“Sir, there are people here…”Before she could finish, Nicole grabbed the phone. Her eyes were filled with coldness as her tone was clear and icy.“Sean Moore, come here and die…”How dare he touch her best friend on her turf? He was really courting death.Nicole did not have many friends, but her friends were the best. They accompanied her through rain and shine, so she would protect them.Then, she threw the phone on the ground, shattering it to pieces.Yvette’s whimpers and cries sounded from inside the room, but her voice was very small as if she had no strength left.Nicole’s heart sank. She charged at the door a few times, but it was useless.Grant signaled the bodyguard to break the door down, but it was no use. The door was special and could only be unlocked by a key. Otherwise, it would be fully locked.Nicole’s eyes were clear and cold as she looked at Hellen. She held out her han
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
