What was going on?Charles was in this woman’s hands?Was this a blatant threat? A kidnapping? Or...Mitchell could not hold on any longer. Whether it was real or not, he had to tell Eric immediately.Then, Mitchell knocked on the conference room and entered.The air in the conference room was as cold as an ice cellar.Seeing Mitchell come in, everyone sighed in relief as if they had seen a savior.Mitchell said a few words in Eric’s ear. Eric’s face turned cold and ugly, and his gaze swept harshly to the door.Suddenly, Eric stood up and walked out in large strides.Everyone exchanged glances.Mitchell smiled. “Everyone, the President has some urgent matters to attend to, so the meeting is temporarily suspended. Once it’s dealt with, we will inform you of the rescheduled meeting time.”Then, Mitchell hurriedly followed Eric out.Ann stood at the door. Her eyes, her expression, and even her smile, were cold.Her makeup was still imitating Nicole’s.Nicole’s temperament wa
Eric’s face was tense. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the bottom of his eyes.His fists clenched tightly as veins bulged out.“I said, stay away from her, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”His voice sounded like it came from hell. It was terribly cold.Ann did not care at all. She smiled, imitating Nicole’s smile, but it was not as natural as Nicole’s. Instead, it was terrifying to look at.Eric glared at Ann intently. His dark eyes hid a strong chill.Ann smiled. “Mr. Charles Ferguson is still in my hands. He’s the one you should be most concerned about right now.”Eric’s gaze was bitterly cold as he narrowed his eyes.He took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.It was a disconnected number.Charles went around almost all their foreign subsidiaries and just did not return to Mediania. Not only because he was unwilling to embarrass himself, but also because he did not want to face the hysterical Quinn.However, his life had always been rich. There was no s
As Ann spoke, her eyes tinged with a deranged smile.It was as if she would never give up until she reached her goal.Eric’s eyes were cold. His pupils were dark, and the temperature in his eyes when he looked at her dropped even more.When he heard the name “Nicole” coming from Ann, his eyes became even colder.Nicole was his taboo. No one could mention her.Nicole’s makeup on Ann’s face looked very odd, like an out-of-control marionette. It made him feel like destroying her.Ann looked at Eric, determined to win.“Eric, I’m willing to dress up as the person you like forever. I don’t care at all. From the first time I met you, I fell in love with you. I felt that you had to be mine.”She smiled willfully.Eric’s tone was cold. “Is that so? You must be delusional.”Ann smiled at him. “Of course not. During that explosion on the streets of Europe five years ago, you saved Nicole, but you also saved me. Did you think you just saved a random ordinary person?”Eric’s gaze sank s
Eric’s face sank. He pursed his lips, and his eyes were sharp.Back then, Eric had approached the people at the top. The upper brass could not do anything about it, and it was impossible to risk more lives because of a corpse.At that time, an arms dealer approached him and said that she could help him. That person was Angie.He originally did not believe her, but she did it.She brought Hendrick’s body back in one piece and delivered it to Eric.Eric still remembered that he asked what her conditions were.Angie did not want anything. She just told him to remember the name “Angie”.However, before he left, Eric still left a small check as payment.He did not like to owe others.Later, Eric returned home with the corpse and left his unit. No matter which forces he stepped into, he made connections quickly, and his power was no longer that simple rookie in the unit.He found out about Angie’s identity, the arms dealers, and the light and dark zones.Today, Eric was able to st
Angie’s smile froze on her face and slowly faded.There was silence for a while.She looked at Eric and said, “So, you don’t accept the deal?”Eric stubbed out the cigarette. His gaze seemed to be quenched with ice.“I don’t accept it.”Angie stood up, looked at him, and left in silence.The office door opened and closed.Eric’s eyes were dark and sullen as he remained silent. There was only the vague feeling of a chill in the air.Mitchell pushed the door in with a glum expression.“President, we found out that your father has not been seen in Australia for three days. No one around him knows his whereabouts. In the past, he would often disappear for a few days in a row to go out for fun or study tours, so no one took it to heart. Unexpectedly, this time... Should I inquire with the other arms dealers we’re familiar with?”Even if they did not get involved with firearms, they knew quite a few people in this business.After all, the money they had came and went, and a lot of
Nicole got off work and looked at the man standing in front of a low-profile black Cayenne downstairs.Her eyes lit up and she walked over quickly with a smile.“Are you here to pick me up? Why didn’t you come upstairs? How long have you been waiting?”In front of her, Clayton’s eyes rippled with a light smile. He held out his hand, and Nicole placed hers on his large hand.He squeezed slightly, and Nicole was dragged into his arms.The two of them quietly embraced. Nicole smelled the warm and silent fragrance on his body, the light aroma wafting into her nostrils.Her hands wrapped around his waist, and she surrendered almost her entire weight on his body.A few seconds later, she suddenly exclaimed.“Have I told you that your waist is really thin before?”Nicole felt the man’s body stiffen for a moment. Then, his eyes darkened, and he looked down on her. His eyes shined with an unknown meaning.Nicole continued to sigh. “It’s different from a girl’s. Your waist feels strong
Yvette remembered the first time she fought so badly with Sean. She had resented him for his deception.It was because she still cared.Now?Yvette could not explain it, but she suddenly did not want to argue with him anymore, let alone hear any news about him.The moment she left the birthday party, she suddenly felt like she had let go.She was no longer as enamored with the man she was so obsessed with before.It was just so-so.She seemed to have done a stupid thing that left her bruised and humiliated to the core.Yvette wanted to leave him behind.Why did she have to live miserably because of him?That was not something that she, Yvette Quimbey, could do.Nicole went in. Clayton went back upstairs to put his stuff away and did not rush back down, so the two ladies did not restrain themselves when they were talking.There was a strange smell the moment Nicole walked in.Nicole went over and took a look at the dining table which had a sumptuous spread of dishes that we
Although Yvette was exposed for faking her cooking skills, she did not feel any guilt at all since she spent money to treat her guests to food.Nicole and Clayton finished their meal, and Yvette was almost done drinking.Yvette was slightly tipsy, and her face was slightly red.Clayton packed up the items and called the private restaurant for them to come and pick up the cutlery. Then, he saw Yvette holding the pile of snacks and beginning to eat.Nicole gave Clayton a look, and Clayton nodded regretfully before leaving upstairs.Nicole would probably not be able to come out tonight.She took a warm wet towel for Yvette and wiped her face.“Last night, he didn’t make a single phone call. But today, he made a hundred calls. Don’t you think he’s a scumbag? He even waited for my anger to subside before calling me to apologize.”Yvette laughed coldly.Nicole pursed her lips and poured a cup of honey water for Yvette.“I think that since you made up your mind, don’t hesitate anymo
