The confrontation between the two men was like a silent clash of swords with edges sharp enough to slice through the dense air.Sean and Lance’s auras were on par with each other. Both of them stared at each other without the slightest intention of conceding.Behind them, Yvette could not handle the stalemate anymore.She tugged at the corner of Lance’s shirt and whispered.“Let’s go. Don’t waste time here.”Lance took her hand. His expression seemed to carry pleasure and indulgence.“Okay, let’s go.”It seemed like he was doing it out of respect for her.“Lance Sheldon—” Sean’s voice rang grimly in his ears.“Do you think that woman is serious? How could she be sincere? She was the same when she was with me...”Yvette paled as she stood there. She felt dizzy, as if she had just been hit in the head.Was Sean trying to drive a wedge between her and Lance?Sean’s darkness had never been used on her, but she had seen quite a lot during this period.Now, he was turning comple
Under the light.Yvette was cold all over as she listened to the words and the sounds coming from inside. She wanted to run and escape.However, she could not even take a step.After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened from the inside.Lance came out and gently touched the corner of his mouth.When he saw her standing in the corner, not moving like a good girl, he instantly closed the door again.Lance walked over. His eyes were calm and composed again.“Why are you standing here? Aren’t you cold? Come on, let’s go home.”It seemed like a natural thing for him to take her hand.She did not refuse either.His hand was warm and wide, the only source of heat for her. She couldn't bear to let go.The coldness that Sean had brought her just now seemed to melt away.Look, it was fair. Her salvation came.A new house meant that they would be together forever.Whether it was the past or the future, it would be cut open. There would not be any secrets.The house was wa
It was as if Eric deliberately left out Stanton Corporation and bypassed Nicole.Nicole closed her notebook. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll discuss it with my brother.”Logan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.He guessed that Eric bypassed Nicole because he did not want his ex-wife to attend his engagement party.However, an engagement?Did Eric’s obsession with Nicole disappear just like that?Logan was a little unable to understand.However, there were some things that he could not understand.After taking care of things, Nicole went to Grant’s office.He was sitting upright, and in front of him was the trembling department head, not knowing what he did to upset Grant.Nicole knocked on the door and went in.Grant glanced at the department head and spoke in a thin and cool voice. “Get out. If this happens again, then just get lost.”“Yes.”Nicole sat opposite Grant. “Brother, have you heard about the news of Eric’s engagement?”Grant’s brows twitched, and he nodded.He
Clayton silently withdrew his hand, stood up, and walked over.“Chairman Stanton, Michael has stayed here for a long time. I’m sorry to disturb you.”Floyd had a problem with Clayton, but he loved Lil Michael from the bottom of his heart.He rolled his eyes. “No need for that. I did it for that poor child.”Poor child?Clayton did not understand how this adjective could be used to describe Michael.However, he did not argue.Nicole walked over leisurely and stood behind Floyd, placing her hands on his shoulders to massage him.“You’ve worked hard, Dad, but we’ve contacted Lil Michael’s school. He’ll go back and board there again after a few days. It’s still an international school after all, so its standard is trustworthy.”She gave him a heads up so he would let Michael leave when the time came.Floyd frowned.“It’s just that stupid school that charges several hundred thousand a year and watched as children fight each other. It’s not as good as compulsory education back the
In Mediania, the least extensive field was probably firearms.It was too much trouble that could not be messed with.No matter how stupid Eric was, he would not drag Ferguson Corporation into the mud.Furthermore, he did not lack money or power. Why was he marrying Angie?It was either because of true love or because he was forced to.Between the two scenarios, the latter was more convincing.Floyd paused and pondered for a moment.“I heard that you and Eric have an awkward relationship. Keep your distance for now and don’t invite trouble to yourself.”Nicole nodded.That was also why she respected Angie from a distance away.After dinner, Clayton took Lil Michael back.Nicole stayed at the mansion, and Floyd went to bed after a while.After one night of tossing and turning, Nicole had a bad feeling, but she could not say what was wrong.The consequence of her insomnia was that she got up late.She was even late for work.Nicole drove to the office before she had time to
When Clayton and Nicole took out the gift, Yvette's eyes went wide with joy.She held the small gift box and wanted to jump up and kiss Nicole.“OMG! I dreamed of getting this when I was eighteen. Nicole, it’s true that I have to rely on my best friends to achieve my dreams! What’s the use of relying on myself?”Yvette wanted to stomp her feet in excitement. Her eyes shone as she stared at the huge pink diamond in the box.Unlike the one in Nicole’s safe, this one was from Chile and was also a treasured item of the royal family. It took a lot of time and contacts to get it.However, Nicole was relieved to see Yvette so happy.“This is a personal gift. My father and brothers also prepared a lot of wedding gifts for you, so don’t hold back! Our beloved Ms. Quimbey’s wedding must be grand!”Yvette was all smiles and went over to hug her. “Nikki baby, let me marry you!”Beside them, Clayton coughed helplessly and broke her excited mood.“Ms. Quimbey, please watch yourself...”Sur
Everyone was in an uproar, especially when they heard the words Ferguson Corporation.Some people looked at Angie in the direction the host pointed to.Others turned their eyes to Nicole.Nicole was really speechless and could only sit there calmly and pretend to be surprised.What a group of dramatists!Next to Nicole, Clayton gently held her hand and spoke in a low and mellow voice.“Don’t buy anything. I’ll take you to the mall later?”Nicole’s mood instantly became better. “That’s tiring. Just send it straight home.”Clayton said, “Sounds good.”However, their deliberate ignorance did not mean that a certain person would also pretend as if they had no relationship.Angie finally gave up the path of imitating Nicole. She wore a dark suit belonging to her own style and looked cool. Like this, she appeared bolder, pleasing to the eye, and recognizable.The result of her throwing money away to buy out the place also attracted many ladies to follow suit.Furthermore, with he
Angie flaunted how her love for Eric was more solid than gold before looking at the silent Mitchell behind her.“Mitchell, please ask Eric to pick me up. I’m tired...”Mitchell expressionless retreated to the side to make a phone call.Nicole and Clayton exchanged a glance. Just then, Yvette came over to say hello and pulled Nicole away.Nicole was still a little worried about Clayton, who was still standing there.Yvette said, “Are you afraid she’ll eat him up? That woman’s target isn’t Clayton.”That was true.Nicole sighed in relief.Yvette spoke with a smile.“Those people were originally inquiring about the identity of Eric’s fiancée. After this, no one will inquire again. Hahaha...”Nicole also curled her lips. For some reason, she found it quite funny.It was such a sensitive word, but Angie said it like she was selling toys.......Clayton said a few words and wanted to leave, but Angie suddenly stopped him.“Mr. Sloan, keep an eye on Nicole. Don’t let her come ou
