The atmosphere between the two men was extremely cold and hard. It could even be said to be explosive.Clayton’s smile faded.“You, touch me? Will Nicole take that lying down?”Nicole had almost fallen out with Eric during the previous mess on the internet the last time.Eric’s dark eyes fiercely shrunk, cold and hostile.Clayton said, “I know that Isaac came to you. He must have told you a lot about me, right?”Eric suddenly sneered. “So, you came here because of that?”He suddenly understood.Isaac had indeed come to him.The Sloan family was a fat piece of meat that anyone could take advantage of. Who would not have eyes for it?Eric was originally still afraid of the Sloan family’s power, but Isaac’s head was empty. He was completely different from the shrewd and capable Clayton.Since Isaac was willing to take the initiative to send himself to Eric’s door, Eric would certainly not give up this opportunity.Eric managed to fool Isaac with just a few words. He really did
Clayton raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of coldness in his smile.However, Clayton was relieved. Since he achieved his goal, it was time to leave.Clayton slowly stood up and spoke with an irritating tone.“I should be going now, Mr. Ferguson. Nicole will be worried if I stay any longer.”Clayton ignored Eric’s murderous gaze and stood up.He smiled faintly at Eric.Eric was clearly provoked by the words. His eyes twitched fiercely and carried a scarlet killing intent.This damned Clayton Sloan was always challenging Eric’s limits time and time again.The next second, Eric could no longer hold back. The blood in his body surged as his anger reached an extreme point.Abruptly, Eric crossed the table, grabbed Clayton’s collar, and yanked him forward, then swung a fist at him.“Just you wait, Clayton. I won’t let you off easily!”The corner of Clayton’s mouth was bleeding, and half of his face was bruised, painting his gentle and scholarly face with color. It was particul
It had not been easy for the two of them to come this far together. Putting aside the matter with Yvette, Grant and Aida were the ideal couple. They were well-matched in every aspect.Nicole was Grant’s sister, so the first thing she thought about was Grant’s views.If Grant was happy, Nicole was all for it!Grant looked at Aida helplessly. It seemed like the engagement was Aida’s idea.Floyd agreed with Nicole’s words. “That’s right. I also think that it’s better to get married straight away. It’s been a long time since there’s been a wedding in the family. If you get married straight, you can have it however you want. Make it as grand as you’d like. I’ll pay for it!”Floyd patted his chest as he spoke.Aida lowered her head and smiled. Her eyebrows arched in slight embarrassment.“We’re not in a rush to get married since I still have a lot of work on my hands. There’s a lot of work to put into a wedding, and I’m afraid that I can’t make time for it. It won’t be too late to tal
Nicole naturally knew that there were no emotional developments with Julie and that Julie was conflicted about whether or not to accept Kai’s goodwill.Nicole advised Julie to calm down and think about it before deciding.However, she did not dare to say this to Kai.Kai scoffed. “That’s more like it. Aida, if you have any celebrities that you like, I can invite them to the engagement ceremony. Consider it my congratulatory gift…”In the entertainment industry, Kai was a steady big boss.Aida looked up in surprise and spoke without hesitation.“Really? Fabian! I like Fabian!”‘Oh? That young idol?’ Nicole subconsciously looked up and saw Aida with stars in her eyes as she clasped her hands.“Little Fabian is just too adorable. I want him to come. Is that possible?”Kai gave a wicked smile and looked unconcerned.“Of course…”The moment Kai looked up, he saw Grant’s warning look, so he instantly took back his words.“Of course… not!”Aida’s starry eyes dimmed for a moment.
Since they established their relationship, Clayton constantly contacted Nicole.Clayton told her to eat well, to remember to rest, to drink less coffee…Sometimes, when Nicole saw them, she would reply. However, when she was busy, she would simply ignore them.Despite that, Clayton never got angry. He sent messages almost once every five minutes.Somewhere along the line, she had gotten used to it.Nicole frowned when she looked at the quiet phone.When she opened up their chatlog, she saw that their conversations always started because he initiated them.She typed a few words into the chatbox. “Are you busy…”Thinking about it, she deleted it.It was better to call directly.A few seconds later, the call was answered.“Pretty Lady, I missed you so much…”It was sweet Lil Michael!Nicole smiled. “I missed you too. Why did you answer the phone? Where’s your daddy?”Lil Michael grunted and spoke hesitantly.“Daddy got beaten up and has a fever now. He’s gonna die!”Nicole
Only the two of them were left in the room, but Nicole could barely hear Clayton’s breathing.Nicole pursed her lips. For some reason, she felt her nose sting.She reached out to touch Clayton’s forehead and found that it was indeed burning up.Just as she was about to retract her hand, a hand suddenly pulled hers.Nicole jumped.His large hand was hot, just like his body temperature.Nicole could not care about that and hurriedly went up to him. “You’re awake?”Her voice was tinged with caution as if she was afraid of startling him.Clayton opened his dry mouth. His voice was as coarse as sandpaper.“Why are you here?”Nicole’s eyes reddened, too embarrassed to say that she only remembered to come because he had not contacted her.She pursed her lips. “I called your phone, but Lil Michael picked up and said that you had a fever…”The corners of Clayton’s mouth pulled into a weak smile as he comforted her.“It’s fine. I’m sorry I made you worry, but… I’m really happy that
Nicole went to the balcony and dialed Eric’s phone while waiting for the ice.Eric was clearly very surprised when he picked up.“Nicole? I was just about to call you. Our thoughts really are connected…”“Eric Ferguson, does it feel good to hit someone? Why didn’t you hit yourself twice to satisfy that urge?”Nicole gritted her teeth and lowered her voice. ‘Eric F*ckerson really deserves a scolding!’Eric was silent for a few seconds before he spoke with a slightly cold voice. “He snitched on me?”His tone was disdainful.Nicole took a deep breath. “Did he have to? Anyone with eyes would be able to see it!”Eric snorted coldly.It was not even a fight. Clayton could not even endure one punch?“I’m telling you, if you dare to make a move on the people around me again, I won’t let you off!”Nicole threatened him. ‘Did he think he’s the only one who could hit others? He’s too arrogant and conceited!’She ruthlessly hung up the phone without waiting for Eric to explain.Mitche
Clayton’s kisses were faint and shallow. Just as Nicole took a breath after getting over her nervousness, she was suddenly kissed again, more fiercely than earlier.Clayton endured so hard that it hurt. The moment he tasted the sweetness, he went out of control and did not want to let go.Nicole did not reject him. His body screamed with the idea of devouring her, making every pore of his body sing with thrill and excitement.However, he simply delicately traced her lips with his tongue, tasting every bit of her and enjoying the hard-won feast.Then, little by little, he swallowed her into his belly to savor her deliciousness.Nicole was left breathless by his kissing skills and felt her body go soft. If not for his strong arms holding her waist, her legs would have given out and caused her to fall.It was just a kiss.Nicole was embarrassed by her own reaction, and her face was even hotter than the feverish Clayton.It must be because she had not been surrounded by young hunks
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
