Mitchell took a deep breath, paused, and said, “Mr. Ferguson, the person who stabbed you used to be a construction worker that worked on the Yeager family’s project. I suspect that Larry Yeager was reluctant to give up on this project, so he placed his own people here. This person has a criminal record, no family members, and has a clean bank account with no abnormal transactions.”This was what made Mitchell feel so helpless.There was no monetary exchange, which meant that there was no evidence to prove the relationship between this person and the Yeager family.They could not do anything about the Yeagers.Eric’s face was cold and expressionless. He did not look surprised, as if he had expected this a long time ago.There was a moment of silence.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.Eric raised his chin, and Mitchell went to open the door.“Ms. Nelson, I didn’t see you just now. Thanks for your hard work during this time.”Selena smiled. “You’re welcome. I’m fin
Eric said, “I won’t need you to take care of me once I can walk.”He looked at her with disdain and added, “I’m afraid you’ll take advantage of me!”Selena laughed. “Deal!”She readily agreed.She just had to be a caregiver, so she should not be ashamed to bow her head for $10 million!Selena smiled and was complacent. The resentment in her heart dissipated.Eric thought, ‘Look! There is nothing money can’t solve. What a snobbish woman!’“Now, go draw me a bath.”Selena paused, then looked at him sideways with a bit of a dilemma.“I’m a woman after all.”It was not very convenient, right?Eric took a deep breath angrily. “I’m not paralyzed! Go get the wheelchair and push me into the bathroom!”“Oh! Oh, okay…”Selena thought that she was too unprofessional.Her mind was already wondering about how Eric would look naked.He had a good figure. Hmm...However, she did not dare to think deeply because he was Eric Ferguson.Selena cleaned up the bathroom and drew the bath fo
That one sentence quelled Selena’s excitement.Oh, she forgot that the other party was Eric Ferguson.Selena chuckled. “I was just joking. How could I do such a devious thing?”Eric looked at her meaningfully as if he was saying, “Is there anything you can’t do?”Selena was speechless.All afternoon, Selena was busy helping Eric get his laptop and documents to prepare for a video conference.Eric simply used her to the fullest.Even during the meeting, he asked her to stand by with a glass of water, as if he was ready to drink water at any time.There were also a variety of imported fresh fruit and snacks.What a precious mouth this capitalist had!Selena endured it all.Seeing how enthusiastic Eric was about work, Selena thought that Eric probably would not spend too much time in bed.He would get up on his feet in two days, so she should just put up with him.At that moment, Eric was conducting a video conference with a stern expression.Selena, who was next to him, pic
“Zachary Salvatore.”Selena frowned and was a little upset.Eric only mentioned it at this time, so did he just overhear the contents of her phone call?Why was he pretending like he did not eavesdrop on her?“Right, Zachary Salvatore. Did he tell you that he helped, and you actually believed him?”Eric’s mocking tone made Selena very uncomfortable.Even if she blamed Zachary for not being honest about it, Zachary had also helped her.At least, he helped with replacing the equipment.Thus, Selena was in no position to accuse Zachary.What right did Eric have to say that?Selena frowned and suddenly felt a little upset.“He didn’t say that. I just misunderstood it. Mr. Ferguson, didn’t you say that you won’t help? Why did you go back on your word?”She remembered that Eric clearly told her back then that he would not help her.How did he forget what he said?He had a horrible memory!Eric sneered.“I was just afraid that you’d cry and beg me. Then, there will be a millio
In the dark, Eric sneered.“One thousand? You’re very experienced, huh?”Selena really was not lying.The young hunks who come to the bar like to take off their clothes when they drink too much. Then, they would dance to their heart’s content on the stage.Looking at them made people excited, but Selena only admired their bodies.Some were thin and bony.Others were fleshy and bulky.There were also some that were neither fat nor thin but had a little belly.There were very few who were as lean and well-proportioned as Eric, with such well-balanced and aesthetic abdominal muscles.Selena just felt that she should not look so eager.She snorted coldly and went to the inside study.Eric sighed.“Now, I’m even more scared! You’d better go back. I’ll call you if I need anything!”As he said that, he lifted the quilt, intending to close his eyes and go to sleep.Selena paused and no longer wanted to go into the study.Hah!Was he planning to wake her up several times at nigh
Selena was disgusted by Cindy’s rudeness.Selena did not feel sorry for Cindy.Cindy was the one who crossed Eric unhappy by playing tricks at Chance’s birthday party. Cindy did not end up like this because of Selena’s appearance.Why did it feel like Cindy was the real wife and Selena was a mistress?Selena put down her chopsticks slowly and had a playful gaze.“Ms. Yeager, there are many things that you’re not aware of!”Cindy glanced at her coldly and snorted.“Ms. Nelson, you won’t believe that Eric loves you, right? His true love is someone else. It’s not like you don’t know about his true love, so why are you here? Is it for money? Or some other purpose? But I do admire your means. Not everyone can climb into Eric’s bed, let alone a divorced and abandoned woman.”There was a dead silence in the living room.The two servants had already retreated quietly.Selena appreciated the servants for this. At least, she would not feel embarrassed since they did not stay to watch t
Selena was not afraid of others watching her. She stood there righteously and said with a smile, “Ms. Yeager, go home. Mr. Ferguson doesn’t want to see you.”“Whatever you say isn’t credible. I don’t believe that you conveyed the message. How about this? Ask Mr. Ferguson to come out and tell me in person.”Cindy lifted her chin with a haughty look. She would not give up until she reached her goal.Selena raised her eyebrows nonchalantly.“Ms. Yeager, don’t you understand? You’re being rude for coming here uninvited. Is this what the Yeager family is capable of? To tell you the truth, Eric can’t come out because he’s still lying in bed naked from having too much sex last night.”“You… You’re shameless!”Cindy yelled.Selena laughed. Her slender neck and shoulders were straight, and she was a charming woman. When she stood there, she looked more like an arrogant little temptress.“You’re even more shameless than I am!”Selena was not the type to just let someone scold her.She
“I knew you’d been coveting me for a long time. Don’t try to stay by my side through crooked ways. I’m not interested in a woman like you!”Eric said coldly.He tried his best to suppress the strange feeling in his heart.He told himself to be calm and rational.It must be because he had not touched a woman for so long.Selena nodded seriously.“Okay. It’s my fault. Just take it as I’ve lost my mind. It’s not like I haven’t seen a man before!”Selena rolled her eyes speechlessly and thought, ‘So what if I kissed him? He sounded like I stole his virginity! It’s not like I kissed a married man or a monk. Was he that great? I was just confused for a moment!’Eric casually looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly.“Oh, of course you’ve seen it before. Did your heart beat faster when you were with Derek Norton?”This question made the temperature in the room drop to a freezing point.Selena’s good mood completely crashed.With a shocked expression on her face, she slowly turne
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
