Yvette laughed.“Offensive? I can say even more offensive stuff. Do you think your family will be willing to do everything for you? Stop dreaming. Your family assets were notarized by a lawyer before you came back. You have no share in it. If your ability was so outstanding, why didn’t anyone in your family offer you to join the company?”Ava’s body shook violently. Her seductive face grew slightly sinister and doubtful.Slowly, she also felt that something was wrong.Ava had mentioned her excellent resume many times, but her father had interrupted her and changed the topic.Her brother and sister also never brought up company affairs.They all told her to “enjoy life” affectionately.Ava thought that she had really become the family’s little princess. ‘Could it be…’Yvette was satisfied when she saw Ava’s change in expression.What was there to pity for a stupid woman who lacked self-awareness?Nicole was impatient and let out a faint laugh.“Well, what’s the use of talking
Everyone got the news about how Harvey became the new spokesperson of Stanton Corporation’s new product.It was all a trap set by Ava York.Nicole was just retaliating openly.However, Harvey seemed to give off a different impression for someone who had a reputation for domestic violence.Why did Harvey seem like a decent person?Not courting death along with Ava showed that this person could still be redeemed.It was Ava who was completely hopeless.Who were the people in Nicole’s social media?They were business partners, high-end international talents, and countless elites and well-known noblewomen in the circle.With this, everyone knew what kind of idiot Ava, the person who had just been accepted by her family, was.Who would dare to continue mingling with Ava?Nicole and Yvette casually left the beauty salon and ran into Ava who was about to lose control and go crazy.“Nicole Stanton, are you insane? What was that video? How dare you secretly take a video? You have no
If it were Kai, he would definitely have gotten rid of this woman long ago so that she could not continue mixing around in the circle.Kai would not have let Ava stay until today.However, it was not too late now.“Although Harvey didn’t follow her example, he was also someone who was forced here by another person…”Kai was conflicted and truly disgusted by all this.“Try your best. It’s best if the official spokesperson isn’t changed. In fact, Harvey’s overall style matches our product very well. There’s always a complex and profound feel to him, and our new men’s watch is being marketed as a luxury product. It won’t fit if we use a young idol instead…”Nicole explained patiently as the butler brought her a glass of milk.“Ms. Stanton, someone wants to see Chairman Stanton. He’s an old friend from many years ago. I’ll call Chairman Stanton now.”‘Huh, that was quick!’ Nicole raised her head and exchanged a glance with Kai.Everyone knew that the visitor was none other than Av
Nicole glanced at Floyd.Floyd frowned, then his face eased up with a sigh.“Lil N is right. I’m upset at him, but he wasn’t the one who raised that child. It mustn’t have been easy for him to put his ego aside to come here. Forget it… But that is that, and this is this. That woman dared to scheme against us. I won’t just let the matter drop!”Floyd looked at his daughter and reminded her.He had an old friendship with Camron, but there was no such thing with that woman.Nicole nodded. She did not plan to let Ava off just like that either.Ava wanted to pick a fight, right?Then a fight was what she would get!Before long, the butler came back.“The guest has left. He looked much better than when he first came, but it still wasn’t that good. He also asked what Ms. Stanton likes.”Nicole raised her brows. The direction Camron was looking at was quite accurate.If Nicole did not relent, the Stanton family would definitely not relent either.Floyd scoffed coldly and stood up,
Nicole knocked on the door and opened it.She lowered her head and grinned at the boy.“Hi!”Lil Michael was wearing adorable pajamas and happily went over to hug her.“Pretty Lady, I said that you’d definitely come back to see me today, but Daddy didn’t believe me and told me to go to sleep early. Fortunately, I didn’t listen to him!”Nicole laughed and touched his head, raising the cake in her hand.“Eat some dessert…”Lil Michael nodded excitedly.Clayton walked out wearing the same type of pajamas as Lil Michael. He wiped his wet hair, and his skin was red from steaming vapor.His collarbone was clean and sharp, and water droplets traced downward, adding a slight sexiness to his gentleness. It was truly a rare sight.He looked like he did when he kissed her that morning.Nicole hurriedly waved away her thoughts and smiled at him.“Do you want some dessert?”Clayton was stunned, but the delight on his face could not be concealed.“Why did you come back at this time of
Nicole picked up a new fork and took a bite.“This cake is low-fat and low-sugar. It’s served in limited quantities and perfect for a late-night snack!”Clayton smiled. Although it was not that hard to eat, he had psychological trauma with desserts, so he did not take a second bite.Nicole did not force him either and soon finished the cake with Lil Michael.Lil Michael obediently went to bed.Clayton sent her out the door, and Nicole said goodbye and left.Suddenly, she forgot that she left her phone behind and turned around to get it.However, as soon as she went in, she saw Clayton covering his chest and vomiting.Nicole’s face changed as she instantly thought of the dessert earlier.However, before she could go over, Clayton noticed her. He looked at the phone in her hand and immediately understood.He smiled and picked up a paper towel. His eyes were still abnormally bloodshot.“Did I scare you?”Nicole pursed her lips. Her chest felt like it had been hit by a fist, si
For the first time, Clayton suddenly felt like someone did not stand in opposition to him and accused him of being unreasonable.This feeling was like a thin thread that was strangling his heart suddenly loosened.Clayton had not expected to obtain Nicole’s understanding so easily.The woman in his arms was soft and warm, bringing light into his world.His body relaxed, but his eyes were sore and red.The raging emotions were finally suppressed as he hugged her.It was only for a moment.Then, he let go.“It’s okay. I didn’t have much of a reaction before you left. The feeling only got stronger after you left. Why don’t you stay?”Nicole stiffened. ‘Did he mean that he wanted me to stay the night? He kissed me in the morning and wanted me to stay over now? Was there a relationship that progressed faster than ours?’If Nicole had not witnessed that scene with her own eyes, she would have thought that he was making it up.Nicole pushed him away fiercely as her face became expr
There was nothing to struggle with here. No matter how unwilling Ava was, she could only wait outside.Nicole watched the surrounding employees coming and going, doing their jobs in an orderly way. The working environment was spacious and harmonious, and the large-scale company looked lively and vivid in Nicole’s hands.When Ava was in Cyndro International, she had relied on her beauty to painstakingly climb to the position of a supervisor. She only gained a firm foothold after meeting Asher and hooking up with him.It had been so hard for Ava, but Nicole easily ruined everything.Later, Ava lost her job, and no company wanted her.When she went to beg Asher, his favor was to introduce her to the President of Golden Sea Corporation as a mistress.Ava was not willing to go back to her past life when she thought about it again.......When Nicole returned to the office, Logan had already served black tea to Old Master Dudley, who drank it in satisfaction.“I’m really sorry you h
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
