Ava’s eyes gradually became miserable and panicked. She wanted to rush in and apologize to Camron face to face.However, she was stopped by the butler.“Ms. York, stop wasting your efforts. Just think of it as the Dudley family letting you down!”Ava choked on her sobs, almost becoming hysterical.“Why? They lost me when I was a child. Are they going to throw me away when I’m grown up too?”Ava looked at the luxurious villa in the distance and could not stop her tears from flowing out.“I want to ask my father face-to-face. Why is he doing this to me? Shouldn’t he pay back what he owes me?”The butler sighed. “Ms. York, the Dudley family has more than one child. Ms. Dudley and Young Master Dudley have been very close since childhood, and they’re extremely popular in the circle both in terms of character and ability. However, after you came back, your reputation has already dragged down the Dudley family.”Ava’s body stiffened, and her lips trembled.“Dragged them down? They gr
Ava felt that it was no good, but she also knew that it was better than not getting a penny at all.She bit her lip and hesitated for five seconds before taking the check and leaving.The butler watched her go, narrowed his eyes, and went back to report to Camron.“Ms. York has taken the money and left.”Camron paused. There was an indescribable look of disappointment on his face.If Ava had chosen to stay and work hard on her own, Camron would have helped her from the shadows.Unfortunately, this daughter who came back to him was too shallow to see anything but money.“Forget it. Send someone to watch her get on the plane. Just make sure she’s safe. Don’t worry about the rest.”“Understood.”It took him all night to come up with this method.In order to save the whole Dudley family, Camron could only give up this daughter.Although he felt guilty, Ava’s performance during this time did not move him much.Affection needed to be cultivated.Compared to his son and daughter,
J&L Corporation’s project came to an end. Clayton had to personally coordinate the series of formalities that needed to be gone through in Europe. After all, it was he who proposed the project in the first place.Nicole sent Clayton to the airport in the evening.It was clearly very convenient to go back and forth, but she still had a slight feeling of reluctance to let him leave.Clayton smiled faintly and held her hand as they walked in. He tightened her jacket for her at the gate.“I’ll be back soon.”Nicole nodded.“Remember to miss me every day too,” Clayton added.Nicole was speechless.What a mushy man!Nicole smiled as Clayton tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.“Remember to call me and text me! I’ll reply as soon as I see them.”Nicole nodded and pushed him to the boarding gate.“I know. Hurry up and go. Go early and come back early.”Clayton smiled helplessly and reached out with a slight force to pull her into his arms.Nicole paused but did not push him away
Eric blocked Nicole’s path.He looked down at her with a dark and obscure gaze.“Nicole, you haven’t told me the answer.”Nicole looked up at him blankly.“What answer?”“Why him? If you can be with him, why not me?”Eric did not take to heart whether it was Clayton’s status or position or ability.However, that person who was inferior to him in every way took away his beloved woman.Nicole was silent for a moment after she heard him.She looked at him quietly. The current Eric Ferguson in front of her was like a completely different person compared to the Eric Ferguson she knew before the divorce.His indifference and detachment felt like he was far away from her.However, she was not used to it.Comparing the two versions of his personality, she only felt the impression of the past Eric Ferguson became stronger instead.She narrowed her eyes and looked at him.“There’s no reason. I’m with him because I feel like we’re very suitable for each other. We’re very happy toget
Keith said, “Nicole, I’m Keith. Can you come over? Ferg drank too much. He’s insisting on driving to you. His driver already left, and we can’t drive after drinking, so could you come over and persuade him...?”Keith’s voice sounded very anxious.Nicole’s sleepiness suddenly disappeared.She stood there with a sullen face and rolled her eyes speechlessly.Logan heard the conversation clearly and looked at Nicole’s expression.Nicole paused and took a deep breath.“Give me the address. Wait there.”Keith’s voice raised in excitement. “Sure. I’m at...”Nicole gave a very calm “mm” and hung up the phone.Logan felt that he could not leave. He immediately took the keys and stood up. “I’ll drive and send Mr. Ferguson back, Ms. Stanton...”Nicole paused and put down her phone.“No need.”Then, she dialed another number.“Hello, 911? I’d like to report someone for attempted drunk driving...”Logan was speechless and mourned a million times for Eric in his heart.Keith hung up t
When Mitchell finally arrived and said a few words to the police officers, they left politely.Eric sat in the car and did not move.Mitchell paused. “Why don’t I send you back, President?”A long time passed.Eric slowly opened his mouth.“Mitchell, she’s so cruel...”Although Mitchell did not know who the “she” Eric was referring to, he could make a guess.There was only one woman in the world who could make Eric like this.Mitchell schooled his expression. “President, there are many eyes here. If people were to see you, it’ll inevitably stir up other troubles. Why don’t you let me send you home?”Eric closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were clear.There was a hint of darkness in the coldness.He lifted his foot to get out of the car, and Mitchell hurriedly opened the back door for him.Stanton Corporation.Nicole and Logan went downstairs one after the other.Logan hesitated to speak.Nicole saw that and smiled. “If you have something to say, go ahea
Nicole paused, and her eyes instantly lit up.“Ms. Graham is back?”Kai emerged excitedly. “Ms. Graham is back?”Felicia Graham was a world-class famous artist and often toured abroad in recent years. She had a distinguished position that was unmatched by the big names in the entertainment circle.She was a god-like existence.Felicia was also Nicole’s mother’s teacher. She was in her sixties this year.After Nicole’s mother passed away, Felicia came over to visit the young children from time to time and had deep feelings for them.For Kai, especially, it was she who discovered Kai’s talent and brought him to the world of acting.It was also because of Felicia’s protection that Kai received such great treatment when he was a novice.In the days where everyone had to bow and scrape at their seniors, Kai did whatever he wanted as soon as he debuted.Later, they gradually grew up and spent more time in school. Felicia also rushed into the international entertainment industry and
Kai was shocked before he instantly walked over with glowing eyes.“I knew that you liked me the most, Ms. Graham. The best gift is saved for last!”Nicole rolled her eyes.Kai cheerfully opened it in front of everyone.When he saw what was inside, he paused slightly.He was puzzled and bewildered.It was a script.Felicia pursed her lips. “I won’t beat around the bush. These years, you’ve taken to the entertainment industry like a duck to water. Mr. Superstar, I don’t know if you still care about theater, but there’s a new play in the rehearsal stage now, and they’re short of a small role. I couldn’t find anyone suitable no matter how I tried. If you want to go, I can open the back door for you, but whether or not you can get the role will depend on your ability. Of course, if you look down on theater, you can just forget about it.”As soon as Felicia spoke, Kai immediately nodded. “I wanna go! I even dream of going.”Kai knew how much effort Felicia put into him. When he fir
