Selena could not help but laugh. She walked over clutching her stomach.โMr. Ferguson, when did you learn how to bartend?โEric sat there irritably, but he had to endure it.Hearing what she said, he could only tell the truth.โI donโt. I simply poured some drinks. Anyway, no one can taste the difference after blending the drinks randomly. Those people obviously donโt know how to taste alcohol.โEric felt that the ladies were easy to fool.Eric made another glass and handed it over.โThis is my treat.โSelena had a specious smile. โMr. Ferguson, did you forget whose territory this is?โโItโs yours, but I made this drink. Canโt I buy you a drink?โHe said it righteously without blushing.Selena was speechless.โMr. Ferguson, youโre lucky that you have a good family background.โโIf not?โโYou wouldโve been beaten to death long ago.โHearing what she said, Eric could not help but laugh.It was rare for the two of them to get along so peacefully.This was the first time t
โNo, thanks. My driver will pick me up.โTaylor smiled.She could hear that Eric was just asking out of politeness. He did not sincerely want to give her a ride home, so she did not push it.Eric nodded slightly.He gave off a cold, stern, and gloomy vibe that made people stay away from him.However, Taylor clearly saw Eric smiling gently at the woman beside him at the auction last time.It was not an illusion.Taylor remembered what her father told her. She was not suitable for business. Now that her father was still around, he could still support her for a while.However, if he dies in the future, Taylor would not be able to control CK Corporation.Thus, Taylor needed a confidant. To be precise, she needed a husband who could help her in her career.Her husband would have to support CK Corporation so that no one would dare to covet it.Eric was the best choice.Taylor did not covet his feelings. She did not care how many women Eric had.She just felt that he was a good c
โTell CK Corporation that if it doesnโt affect Ms. Caldwell, we can use the second plan.โEric took his anger out on the netizens.Since he did not want to be taken advantage of, he might as well start making money from them.Mitchell nodded. โYes, sir.โEricโs decision was based on the companyโs overall situation. There was nothing to criticize about it.In the afternoon, the hot topic gradually lost its popularity.Everyoneโs interest in Ericโs personal affairs gradually died down.However, just when everyone calmed down, Ferguson Corporation and CK Corporation jointly launched the focus of their cooperation.For a while, everyone was talking about Eric and Taylor again.Not only that, some people even made up some romantic short stories about them. Some people also photoshopped their wedding pictures.However, neither party responded to the relationship.However, the speculation online was in full swing.Not only that, the stock prices of Ferguson Corporation and CK Corp
Chaz said, โFruits are very expensive now.โIf Eric was a scumbag, Chaz did not even want to give Eric a fruit platter.Selena was speechless.Eric went into the private room. No one followed him over for a long time.He sat there, and his face turned darker as time passed.When he heard what Selena said, Eric kept silent and then reflected on himself.Did he do something wrong?Everyone was speculating about his relationship with Taylor, but he did not respond.Did Selena really trust him?Or did she not care about him?Ericโs mind was a mess from the time he came to the bar until now.It was like a tangled ball of threads.Eric felt anxious.Why was Selena still not here?Eric dialed Selenaโs number, but no one answered.The next second, someone knocked on the door and came in.Chaz held a fruit platter and wine while he smiled perfunctorily.โMy boss asked me to send these up. Mr. Ferguson, you can tell me if you need anything.โโWhere is she? Ask her to come up.โ
Keith looked at the door strangely and thought about it for a few seconds.Suddenly, he had an epiphany.Perhaps it was not as Selena said. Eric and Selena probably had an unusual relationship.Earlier that day, Eric and Taylorโs scandal was all over the place.Any woman would not be able to stand it.So, was Selena throwing a tantrum just now?Eric went downstairs and watched as Selena leisurely swayed to the rhythm of the music. She had a smile on her face and was interacting with the people on stage from time to time.Selena looked to be in a good mood.Eric gulped. He was indescribably irritated and frustrated.Immediately, he seemed to have lost his mind as he dragged her out without caring that others were watching them.Eric dragged Selena to the door.Selenaโs resistance was futile. Eric would not listen to anything she said.She was speechless.As soon as they went out, Eric relaxed his grip, and Selena took the opportunity to shrug off his hand.She was afraid t
Eric looked at Selena quietly for more than ten seconds.His face was extremely tense and glum.Eric said in a low voice, โWhat do you think?โSelena paused and raised her eyebrows.โAlright, I understand. From now on, letโs delete each otherโs contact information. I wonโt look for you again, and you shouldnโt look for me either. We can just treat each other as strangers.โSelena rationally arranged the plan for their future, just like when they were not together back then.Ericโs face and eyes darkened.His emotions surged violently, but he suppressed them. They were like currents in the deep and boundless sea.A gust of wind could cause huge waves.โNo.โHis voice was hoarse. He felt as if his throat had been ground by coarse sand, so much so that it hurt to speak.โWhat?โโI have nothing to do with her, let alone marry her. I came here to explain it to you.โEric looked at Selena, but there was no emotion or excitement on her face.Selena was way too calm.Eric was a
Chance thought about it. As a member of the family, he felt like he should do something for the family.Thus, he turned around and went downstairs, asking the driver to take him to Selenaโs bar.Chance wanted to pick Aunt Selena up personally.In the bar, Selena originally planned to stay until closing time.However, her biological clock had been irregular. She felt a little sleepy before midnight.Chaz asked her to go up to take a nap since there was nothing to do at this time.Just as Selena was about to go up, she heard Chaz changing his tune.โDonโt go upstairs. Someone came to pick you up.โSelena subconsciously looked back.Chance happily waved at her.Selenaโs heart softened. She smiled, and her sleepiness disappeared.โHow did you get here? Is your class over?โChance nodded. โDaddy was afraid that it would be unsafe for you to go back alone at night, so he asked me to get the driver to pick you up. I just tagged along. Aunt Selena, shall we go home?โHe looked up
The outside wind brought in a trace of heat. The agarwood scent in the car dispersed a little.The car was stable and comfortable.The man inside was on the phone, revealing his sharp side profile.No one noticed that in the side lane just one car away, there was a car to the left of the black Bentley.A pair of hateful and bloodshot eyes stared in the direction of the black Bentley.The woman took her phone and dialed a number.โMr. Sloan, the time has come. Where are your people?โThere was a buzz from the phone. Soon, a gentle and clear voice sounded.โMs. Yeager, I arranged a getaway car for you. Itโs the third red car behind your car. When you are done, get in the car while no one notices you. The driver will take you to where youโre supposed to go.โCindy subconsciously looked in the back mirror when she heard this.Sure enough, the third car behind hers was a red car.She let out a slow sigh of relief.โOkay.โCindy hung up the phone contentedly.She wanted to go a
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, โDo you still want to drink coffee? If you donโt want this, we can go to my place, and Iโll make you a cup of coffee.โChatty nodded.Fischer let down his hand and naturally held Chattyโs 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, โAre you reluctant about France because of Fischer?โChattyโs eyes turned red.โI donโt remember him at all. Daddy, donโt mention him!โShe 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.โChatty, now that youโve grown up, you should know that Fischer had no choice but to leave. He also couldnโt contact you, so if you see him in the future, donโt blame him.โChatty stubbornly turned her head away, pretending not to care.She was the apple of Claytonโs 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.โEveryone in my class has a boyfriend. If I didnโt have one, I wouldnโt be able to keep up with the trend! Of course, I have to date while Iโm young. Otherwise, it wonโt be considered puppy love anymore! Life without a first love isnโt perfect!โClayton tried to persuade her. โYouโre still young. If you see the world, youโll know that men arenโt great.โโThen is Mommy blind since sheโs 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 Selenaโs 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.โI donโt 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.โJennifer raised her head abruptly. Her face was extremely pale.โOkay.โShe 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.Jenniferโs 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 Jenniferโs 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.โI liked collecting these a few years ago, but Iโve restrained myself now. Thank you, I really like it!โSelena took the initiative to give her a gift, which showed that she did not mind Nicoleโs 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.โThe past is in the past. Letโs forgive each other, okay?โNicole nodded with sore eyes.โItโs a pity I didnโt prepare
Jadeโs rudeness made Floydโs face darken.Nicole twitched the corner of her mouth indifferently.โThe 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 arenโt part of your property division. Even if they are to be divided, the interests of the company come first.โJadeโs complexion was dull.โThen what should I do? If he goes to jail, how will I survive? I donโt care! Those shares must be given to me! Otherwise, I wonโt rest!โJade sat there looking like a rogue, as if she was determined to get the shares.Floydโs face was gloomy, and he glanced at Jade with a complicated look.โYou should go back and wait for the police and the companyโs notice. Noah stole hundreds of millions of dollars from the company. The company is nice enough not to chase
Jadeโs face turned pale.โYou should try both, or at least find a reliable lawyer to get him less jail time.โNicole could not help but chuckle.She interrupted their conversation.โAunt Jade, in fact, you came at the right time. Weโre here to discuss how to rescue Uncle Noah!โJade glanced at her in surprise and disbelief.โThenโฆ What did you discuss?โClayton smiled inexplicably. His warm gaze fell on Nicole, and he looked like he was watching a good show.Nicole sighed.โActually, 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 didnโt have a chance to commit those crimes, there may be a glimmer of hope!โJadeโs face turned pale instantly, and she stood up in shock.โYouโฆ You want me to give a false statement? How could I? This is illegal!โNicole sneered
