Eric looked at her profile which was quiet and beautiful, yet she did not belong to him anymore.Dark thoughts were always breeding in his heart. If she did not belong to him, should he just ruin her then?......Nicole saw that Yvette had finished scolding Sean and walked over when she waved.Sean’s expression did not look good.They were just about to leave when Sean’s voice sounded, hoarse as if he was cut by a knife.“Yvette, apart from this matter, I’ve never lied to you. I told her that we’ll be getting a divorce in the afternoon. Please…”Please wait for me.Before he could finish, Yvette sneered at him.“You two are a match made in heaven, so you mustn’t divorce because of me. I was really unlucky to step on dog sh*t like you. Don’t let me see you in Atlanta ever again, or I’ll beat you up every time I do!”After playing around for so long, her heart finally decided to settle down and she accepted a man she wanted to keep in her life for a long time.What was the res
Nicole watched Yvette walk in front and dazedly get on the elevator, her legs still trembling a little.She suddenly felt some pity for Yvette.According to Mrs. Quimbey’s temper, she might really beat Yvette to death.Yvette stood at the door and took a deep breath before mustering the courage to push the door in.“Mom…”Mrs. Quimbey controlled the whole Quimbey family. She raised Yvette alone, but she was also famous for being a strong and able woman.Her temper was thunderous, and her character was uncompromising.Before Nicole went in, several photos were thrown in front of Yvette and fell to the ground.“Look at what you’ve done!”Yvette picked the photos up and had a look, and instantly turned pale.She had not told her mother about this yet. Unexpectedly, someone had already sent photos of Sean and her together, and the photos of Mrs. Moore causing trouble for her.When Nicole came in, she also saw the photos.“Hello, Aunty.”Seeing that Nicole was also here, the fa
Nicole was stunned and wondered why Aida Webber wanted to see her.Since Aida was her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Nicole could not put on airs.“Please come in.”Nicole smiled and watched as Aida walked in. Aida was gentle and pretty, with a smile that made people want to get close to her, like a spring breeze.“Aida, you’re here to look for my big brother, right?”Aida smiled. “I have a lunch date with him later, but I wanted to see you first.”Nicole raised her eyebrows and looked at Logan, who nodded and turned to leave.The two ladies had never been alone together.Although Nicole felt sorry that Yvette and Grant could not end up together, Nicole was not going to get involved in their relationship.Nicole would respect whoever Grant chose.“Is Ms. Quimbey better now?”Nicole paused for a moment. Her eyes flickered slightly. “She’s much better now. She’s just been discharged from the hospital.”“I remember that you two were very close back in high school. She often gives t
Aida smiled and stood up. “Nicole is already working very hard, so shouldn’t you share her burden?”Nicole nodded solemnly.Grant glanced at her, expressionless. “Young people need to experience more.”The corners of Nicole’s lips twitched.Finally, Aida and Grant left Nicole’s office.Nicole speechlessly continued to read some documents.Not long after, Logan knocked on the door again and came in.“President, Mr. Sloan is here…”Nicole frowned slightly. ‘We’ve only been separated for less than three hours. Isn’t the frequency of his appearance a little high?’“Come in.”Clayton was now Nicole’s boyfriend, but they did not make it public yet, so even Logan was not aware and only thought that they were simply business partners.Clayton walked in, smiled at her, and carried a food box in his hand.Nicole’s eyes lit up. ‘Isn’t this from that private chef?’“Finished with your work?”Clayton walked over, took the food box out, and set it on the table.He chuckled and replied
Nicole already put on her coat and scarf, then stood at the door with her bag.She was too fast.Clayton did not dawdle and took his things to follow Nicole downstairs.The weather outside was cold and drizzling.Clayton drove. They encountered red lights all the way to the airport, which delayed them even further.However, Clayton did not intend to call Michael to comfort him. When they arrived at the airport, it was already more than half an hour later.Nicole got out of the car and watched as Clayton unhurriedly took out his phone to call Michael’s bodyguard.Clayton looked back at Nicole and said, “They’re coming right over.”Nicole nodded. In less than two minutes, Nicole saw the bodyguard and nanny Susan with Lil Michael, who was hobbling over.Lil Michael was wearing denim suspenders and a leather hat as he walked over like a little punk. He looked so tenderly cute and handsome.It had been a while since Nicole saw Michael, who seemed to be a little taller. His sapphir
Anyway, Lil Michael was going to give it to either Nicole or Clayton.Nicole and Clayton looked at each other. Clayton’s eyelids jumped.Clayton, who was always good-natured, also had times when he could not resist the urge to punch someone.“You guys told me that I can’t give out money and jewelry. These shoes are so exquisite. They’re the most expensive item at that auction, so all girls will like it!”Lil Michael gleefully went over and added, “Pretty Lady, do you like it?”Nicole’s face stiffened. After a long time, her violently beating heart gradually smoothed out.‘After so long, Lil Michael changed his habit of giving me bereavement flowers and wreaths to a dead woman’s shoes? I really can’t bring myself to like this at all!’ Nicole thought.“Michael, promise me to give normal gifts in the future, okay?”Nicole was truly traumatized.Lil Michael frowned and looked at Nicole, not fully understanding her reaction. He then turned to look at Clayton and said, “Then I’ll ju
Clayton frowned slightly. He saw Nicole’s bewildered face and explained, “Isaac Sloan is my second uncle and the heir of the Sloan family.”Nicole nodded. Clayton never mentioned the Sloan family to Nicole before. Since the Sloan family came to Mediania, Clayton would probably find the opportunity to tell Nicole about it.Lil Michael waved his fist. “He’s also a scumbag!”Nicole raised her eyebrows. ‘It looks like the Sloan family isn’t very harmonious…’She laughed and did not say a word. If she had known earlier, she would have gotten Logan to investigate more about it.They sent Lil Michael back home to rest. Nicole did not stay long when she received a call from Floyd.Floyd sounded quite upset. “Lil N, we have guests, so come back home.”In the end, Floyd added, “Come back by yourself.”His words implied that Nicole should go back alone and not take anyone with her.Nicole let out a faint “mm” and said goodbye to Clayton and Lil Michael.Stanton Mansion.The butler, Mr.
Nicole looked at Isaac Sloan with a faint smile. Isaac was truly worthy of being the heir of the Sloan family because he was so generous with his offer.However, there was a revolting sense of superiority in Isaac’s speech and demeanor.Isaac was clearly very different from the modest and polite Clayton.While Nicole was scrutinizing Isaac, he was doing the same to her.In the end, Kai could not help himself and spoke up.“Give up cooperation with Clayton just to cooperate with Sloan Corporation? This tumultuous operation is really confusing. You’re his uncle, right? Aren’t you digging a grave for your nephew by doing this?”Kai’s bluntness made it a little awkward.Isaac laughed. “Yes, that’s about right.”“Mr. Sloan, I don’t quite understand.”Why did Isaac mention Clayton and the Sloan family separately, as if they were not related?Nicole’s eyes were indifferent. She suddenly remembered Lil Michael’s comment earlier. “He’s a scumbag too!”“Ms. Stanton, it seems that Cl
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
