Yvette did not have time to argue with Kai. She watched the person in front of her walk further and further away and could hardly catch up.In her anxiousness, Yvette did not see the step in front of her and tripped. She instantly lost her balance and was flung to the ground, looking wretched.Yvette cried out in pain.There were many people around who came to drink. When they saw a beautiful woman fall face down on the ground without regard for her image, they all wanted to feast their eyes.Yvette felt like this was the greatest humiliation of her life.The last person who was humiliated at this entrance was Keith Ludwig when he ran out naked.Now, it was her turn.Her eyes stung, and she was just about to cry, but in the next second, a figure stood in front of her and threw an expensive suit on her body.Yes, he threw it.However, it also covered the parts of her that might have been exposed.Yvette held back her tears and pitifully reached out.“Let me explain...”The m
Lance shook his head in self-deprecation. For some reason, he felt somewhat lost.Yvette looked at his back motionlessly. His figure was tall and straight, but she inexplicably felt some heartache.She was clearly in the wrong, but the person who apologized was Lance.They had always gotten along very well in every aspect. Even in bed, there was a feeling like they should have met each other sooner.However, her actions tonight seemed to break this harmony.Lance was angry.However, he did not push his luck or lecture her. He just said a few words and backed off to a reasonable position.It seemed inconsequential, but she could feel that it would only drive them further and further apart.Seeing that he was about to get into the car, Yvette immediately ran over.The headlights flashed as she stood in front of the car, and the brakes screeched suddenly.The person inside turned pale. His head poked out of the window, looking stiff.“Are you insane?!”His tone was the angries
Both of them were smart and could understand with just one sentence.Yvette was willing to take a step back, and this step was even laid at his feet. If Lance continued to argue and fuss over it, he would be the insensitive one.Lance’s expression loosened. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he smiled at her drunken appearance.“Then I’m really honored for the great Ms. Quimbey to get back on the right track. How can I repay you?”Lance got the treatment that even Sean did not get. Lance was not an unappreciative person.This marriage was still full of expectations.Yvette’s smile deepened, and her gaze became misty. She could feel Lance’s tone soften.Therefore, she blinked very suggestively. “Shall we continue our talk upstairs?”Lance reached out and suddenly wrapped his arms around her body, pulling her over from the passenger seat to sit on his lap.The two people were so close to each other that their breaths intermingled. There was a slightly intoxicatingly s
Angie wanted to approach Nicole’s car but was blocked by Luca.She pursed her lips and looked at Nicole. Her gaze was dark and defeated.Nicole paused before choosing to get out.Although Caleb took her and that he was connected to Angie, Nicole knew that it was not Angie’s idea.Angie had countless opportunities to use Nicole back in Atlanta, but she did not.The cold wind blew her hair, and Nicole raised a hand to gently part it.“Angie. Do you need something from me?”Angie stood there and looked at her with pursed lips.“My flight is in the evening. I’m going back to Southeast Asia soon. My brother is dead, and among those who followed my brother, some of them switched sides to another gang, while some are waiting for me to go back. In the future, I may never come to Mediania again.”Angie’s voice drifted in the wind. It was very light but clear and somewhat poignant.Nicole said, “Have a safe trip.”They did not have much of a friendship, and it was not so deep that she
Angie’s personality was not like Caleb. Since she grew up around firearms, Angie was more indifferent to human lives.Angie could freely hurt the people around Eric even if they were his relatives, but she really could not hate him.She chased guns and smoke for most of her life, but she wanted to find security in a cold and independent man.Nicole looked at her deeply, then got into the car without hesitation.Luca threw the man in his hand to the ground and signaled his men to get into the SUV before he got into Nicole’s car.At a time like this, close protection was the best.Nicole’s car reversed, turned the corner, and drove away.It soon disappeared into traffic.The car was only blocked for less than ten minutes. The cars behind were not really affected, and the situation instantly returned to normal.On the way back, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment.Nicole opened her eyes and ordered softly. “Have someone follow Angie to see if she’s really gone.”Luca nodded a
Nicole looked at it. It was from Kai.She picked it up and put it on speakerphone.“What’s up, Third Brother?”She spoke and pressed the mask on her face, afraid that it would fall off.Kai said, “Dad wants you to come home to eat. He just caught some fish.”Nicole looked at the man in the kitchen. Clayton’s back stiffened slightly, but he did not turn around. However, the movements of his hand clearly slowed down.She pursed her lips and spoke with a smile.“I’ll go home tonight. We’ve already started eating.”“That’s great! That fish is all mine then!”Kai hung up the phone excitedly, not giving Nicole a chance to backtrack.Nicole paused and peeled the mask off while gritting her teeth.“It’s not crispy fish, is it?!”It was Kai and Nicole’s favorite dish.Clayton heard it and came out. When he saw that Nicole took off the mask even though it was not time yet, he paused for a moment.“What crispy fish? Why didn’t you continue the mask?”Nicole bit her lower lip. “I’m
Nicole raised her brows. “How did Gerard know about my first day at work?”Logan paused and said with a smile, “Mr. Lichman made an appointment a few days ago saying that he wanted to talk to you about something immediately. He told me to convey it to you immediately after you come back.”Nicole lowered her head to organize the information in front of her. Her tone was somewhat casual.“Hand over all the projects I have related to Ferguson Corporation to my big brother. If Grant has any troublesome or urgent cases in his hands, he can exchange them with me.”Logan froze for a moment and instantly understood what she meant.“Ferguson Corporation...”Gerard had always been close to Eric.He came over to meet her in the name of J&L Corporation, but there was no guarantee that he was not scouting for Eric and probing her attitude.Since he wanted to know her attitude, she would tell him plainly and clearly.It was impossible to find a chance to approach her.Whether or not he had
Nicole thought she had misheard.“Who?”“Kai, your third brother!”Grant looked at her helplessly.Nicole was shocked. “He agreed?! Back then when Dad whipped him, he didn’t even want to join the company and jumped headfirst into the entertainment industry. How did he agree to it now?”Grant shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless. “What can he do if he doesn’t agree anyway? If I hand over such a large corporation to you, I’m afraid you’ll be exhausted. He doesn’t have any theater performances recently and doesn’t like any of the scripts sent to him. So, he’s free…”The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched. “Anyway, as long as you think it’s fine…”Nicole did not have any doubts about Kai’s ability.However, Kai’s frivolous attitude was questionable.Grant knocked on the table. “That’s settled then. If it doesn’t work, then we’ll remove him and replace him with someone else.”He made it seem like it was as easy as changing a high school class president.Nicole nodded, lower
